ITT: Pokemon who steamroll games
you first OP
>>31422031
Are you kidding? Go pick up a Nidoran in any Kanto game.
Speedrunners use it in world-record runs. It absolutely destroys everything.
>>31422914
because there's a glitch that let's you catch one 1 at level 100 like 5 minutes into the game
at least know your facts opNidoking is petty based tho

>>31422914
It would help to note which gens where that is the case.
I remember Rayquaza being popular in Emerald to catch before the Elite Four so you could basically solo them with him.
Also in Rescue Team recruiting the legendary birds was easy in post-game as you were overleveled for their dungeons and they were all reasonably high levels.

Moxie Scrafty fucking rapes Unova elite 4/Ghetsis/N
Shout out to Excradrill for just being that strong
Magnemite is available early in BW2 and SM. It takes a while for it to evolve but it resists a lot of stuff.
And basically any fully nonevolving Pokemon you can find early like Sawk or Heracross

>because there's a glitch that let's you catch one 1 at level 100 like 5 minutes into the game
Even on non-glitch runs, world record holders use Nidoking. I know my facts, friend.
>>31422950
Takes too long to perform reliably for them, they catch a Nido male and get lucky depending on the speed stat

It can OHKO Totem Sazzle with Waterium-ZI got very pissed after trying to play fair with the Totem and ended up getting the Petya Berry up and my mostly Shitmon team got wiped out between Toxic Taunt Torment Venoshock bullshit
>tfw OHKO Totem Salazzle with Mudbray
Mudsdale was easily my favorite Gen 7 pokemon along with decidueye for how great of a pokemon it was.
Haxorus and Excadrill as well
>>31421973
It's funny how Nidoking basically plays like a black mage
>>31423631
Literally came here to post Darmanitan and Hax
Fucking Azumarill in Gen VI.
>Azurill shows up on like the third route, 3 IV guaranteed
>50% chance for Huge Power
>if you have the patience to get through the happiness evolution bit, you'll have a fully-evolved shit wrecker at level 18
>it learns fucking Aqua Tail at level 21
>Ramos is the only important trainer who resists Water you'll face before getting Play Rough
>also shows up relatively early in ORAS, where it gets both Aqua Tail and Play Rough before level 30
Doodle was a cruel god.
>>31422202
I get it!
(For the original GSC)
You know, Typhlosion wouldn't be so bad if he didn't learn Flamethrower at level fucking 65, while Feraligatr gets access to Surf relatively early on.
>>31423051
i still don't understand why they chose lvl 20, it's way to early ingame, i wanted to use one but i felt dirty so i got a Golisopod instead
>Magnemite in BW2 & SM
>Growlithe everywhere it's available
>Alakazam in Gen I
>Most starters too except Meganium and Gen V starters.
>>31423856
In crystal though you could get fire punch for your quilava at goldenrod, which was pretty good power early on compared to flame wheel or ember
>>31421973
>>31423931
Yes, but still, Croconaw evolves at level 30 so if you use your starter only you can get a Feraligatr before fighting Whitney, whose Miltank poses a threat to Quilava because of that goddamned rollout. Also, Feraligatr is overall better for the league, especially Lance.
>>31424020
Yeah, access to ice punch absolutely helps. Man, why the fuck did they decide against making the elemental punches TMs ever again? That was so god damned convenient
>>31424084
I miss them, but now they're just move tutor moves.
Speaking of which, I had to breed a Metagross in ORAS specifically for Ice Punch since this move cannot be obtained in SM.
>inb4 just inject it lol
>>31423089
Cubone can 1 shot it aswell.
>>31422202
I see what you did there.
Poison Touch
>>31424221
>poisoning the totem mimikyu through disguise
>walling many early game mons
Aloha muk and magneton kicked ass
Rest in peace, every dragon in Alola.
Archeops. Acrobatics spam.

Poison touch+infestation/protect/shadow sneak/poison jab steamroll most things
