Favourite pokemon

I get a lot of questions asking what is the best pokemon. There is no “best”—the real challenge is picking pokemon you like and training them to be champions. By selecting the right moves, you can even give pokemon an unexpected edge. For example, I taught Mewtwo the fighting move submission. Psychic pokemon are usually in trouble when facing their dark counterparts, but now Mewtwo is up to the challenge—even going head to head with Tyranitar.

I don't usually fight with Mewtwo though. So here are a few of my favourite pokemon, and why. Marshtomp—good for water and ground attacks, and can't be hurt by electric. Xatu has good psychic abilities, and can fly. Shedinja—a real challenge with only 1HP, but that Wonderguard ability is interesting. Zangoose looks cool, and it is handy to have a normal type pokemon in your party. Flygon because he can dig and fly! I can't forget Heracross, the only bug pokemon who can learn the strongest bug attack: megahorn—and because the first time I caught one I had to headbutt trees to find him!

Those are just a few. But don't copy me. Make your own party and train them to be the best!
