Ranking All 151 Original Pokémon From Worst To Best

55. Golem

As we approach the top 50, inclusion is either dependant on either being a massively recognizable character, generally being incredibly cool, or having really impressive stats. For these reasons, Golem just misses out.

54. Ivysaur

It's largely acknowledged that Bulbasaur was the most inferior of the three starters (although its fans are by far the most passionate), but I'd argue that its got the strongest second stage. It learns huge moves in particular, and the design really looks like a more ferocious beast, rather than simply a taller version of the original.

53. Vulpix

Vulpix is brilliant. You need no more information.

52. Nidoking

Nidoking is gnarly but given it's spikes and points and teeth it really should have been one of the strongest in the game. Instead it's all just a bit try-hard with nothing but the inherently flawed Hyper Beam to really back it up.

51. Nidoqueen

As above, but with softer edges.
