Based on Kitsune, the shape-shifting fox of Japanese folklore, Zoroark has an interesting and totally unique signature ability: Illusion. Zoroark evolves from the adorable Zorua at level 30.
Wow, this generation is absolutely stacked! Again, a simple but memorable design that sticks in the mind. Zoroark is another one of my absolute favorites. #6 - Zoroark | Best Pokemon Black and White Pokemon That's including any Pokemon ever in any game. A Galarian Darmanitan with Gorilla Tactics and a Choice Band has the highest possible Attack on the first turn of a battle.
Galarian Darmanitan has access to Gorilla Tactics, an insanely broken ability that effectively functions like a free Choice Band. If Zen Mode Darmanitan fell below half health at any point during a battle, it would transform into a Psychic/Fire stone statue with insane Defense, Special Defense, and Special Attack stats.ĭarmanitan also got an interesting regional Ice form in Pokemon Sword & Shield that deserves an honorable mention despite not being in Black & White.
What really made it shine was the unique Zen Mode ability. Darmanitan is a mix of a daruma doll, modeled after Bodhidharma, the founder of Zen Buddhism, and a fiery gorilla. Another simple but very striking design that knocks it out of the park. Darmanitan has to be one of my favorite Pokemon ever. #5 - Darmanitan | Best Pokemon Black and White Pokemon Other things that made it great were the unique Dark/Ground typing and similarity to Baryonyx, the very cool fish-eating dinosaur. Classics like Charizard, Machamp, and Gengar were deceptively simple designs but very memorable all the same. If you look at beloved Gen 1 Pokemon compared to later generations, I often think Game Freak have an increasing tendency to overcomplicate things. I love the bold simplicity of Krookodile. #4 - Krookodile | Best Pokemon Black and White Pokemon It's been a force to be reckoned with in the metagame ever since its introduction in Black & White. What really made Excadrill tick was its beastly 135 Attack stat and Mold Breaker or Sand Force ability. I was right, but appearances are often deceiving regarding Pokemon PVP. I just thought this metal mole guy looked pretty strong. I'll be honest, when I first played Black, I didn't care about the metagame whatsoever. Excadrill paired a fearsome appearance with a great dual Steel/Ground typing and excellent stats. #3 - Excadrill | Best Pokemon Black and White Pokemon It's also notable for (I think?) the only zebra-based Pokémon in existence. Zebstrika lets you breeze past the flying-type Gym Leader Skyla in Mistralton City without a backward glance. Why 27? Anyway, this gives players access to a decent electric type 'mon fairly early on in the game. Yep, I know, the anally retentive among us are cringing right now. #2 - Zebstrika | Best Pokemon Black and White PokemonĪnother solid addition to the early game, you meet Blitzle on Route 7.
