Ranking All 151 Original Pokémon From Worst To Best

60. Hitmonlee

Scoring all the same points as Hitmonchan except a) actually looks like a martial artist, b) Bruce Lee > Jackie Chan and c) Hi-Jump Kick carrying the message "Hitmonlee kept going and crashed" whenever it missed was hilarious.

59. Growlithe

This is Growlithe. The bravest of all flaming dogs. H*ckin fiery af pupper. 11/10 would catch and train for days.

58. Raichu

Heart goes out to Raichu, it is objectively speaking much better than Pikachu but doesn't even get a look in next to the face of the entire franchise. Look past the PR though and see a quick, strong electric-type with really well balanced stats and only one natural weakness.

57. Seadra

Seadra should have been a dragon-type. Let nobody tell you otherwise. Design wise it's very on point, but does suffer by being really rather weak in the games. Statistically identical to a lowly Persian, give or take.

56. Sandslash

Look at Sandlash. It looks like a cross between the aliens from Independence Day and Michonne from The Walking Dead. Sandslash would, were this not a largely PG franchise, behead its enemies without so much as a blink.
