By the numbers: a data verdict worked out from base stats

The best non-Legendary Pokémon

Ranked by base stat total, leaving out every Legendary and Mythical Pokémon. Every species in its standard form except Legendary and Mythical Pokémon. Ultra Beasts and Paradox Pokémon are not Legendary, so they are included.

Base stats are not everything. Moves, abilities, items, types, teamwork and a good strategy often matter more than any single number. Slaking tops this list, but its ability Truant makes it loaf around every other turn. The ten 600-total Pokémon fans call “pseudo-legendaries” (a fan term) are often stronger in practice.

Ties share a rank (shown as “=”), and inside a tie the lower Pokédex number comes first. Standard forms only: Mega Evolutions and other forms are not included.
