Pokémon Gen 7 I live in a stunning area of Alola, but what are the greatest Pokémon of Generation 7? We decided to find out, and after poring over the Pokédex, we've brought you the best entries—literally—from this tropical haven.
Why not take a look back with us at our many previous Pokémon articles, including our guides covering the greatest Pokémon, before we go for the vacation location of Alola? Pokémon gen 1, Pokémon , , Gen 2.Pokémon gen 3, Pokémon gen 4, Pokémon gen 5, Pokémon gen 6, Pokémon gen 8 and Pokémon , Gen 9.
Here are the top Pokémon from Generation 7 ,
,
Mimikyu
Mimikyu is a small ghost that hides beneath a rag. In an effort to win people over, it has decorated itself to resemble the beloved Pikachu. That really is the saddest thing you have ever heard, isn't it? Despite its vulnerable appearance, Mimikyu is an intriguing Pokémon with a dual ghost/fairy type that makes it difficult to defeat since it is impervious to regular, fighting, and
dragon Pokémon attacks.Mimikyu has a special ability called disguise that makes it even more difficult to attack. This ability serves as a free substitution, enabling Mimikyu to absorb one hit while wearing its disguise before adversaries may hit Mimikyu directly. This is fortunate since, apart from a solid 105 special defense, the majority of Mimikyu's stats are somewhat unimpressive, making it either a glass cannon or an opportunity to delay and build up defensive upgrades for the whole group. It still looks lovely, and that cannot be taken away.Look up Mimikyu (number 778 in the Pokédex) to learn more about this monster. According to its records, it is a lone Pokémon whose appearance (under the rag) is so scary that it murdered a scholar. It is a great shame that individuals kill themselves because they are afraid of this little boy who only wants to be loved.Are you wondering how to defeat Mimikyu? To learn how, see our tutorial on
ghost Pokémon weakness.
Bewear
Speaking of cute, Pokémon Sun & Moon introduced another beloved character in the form of the enormous teddy bear known as Bewear. The ridiculous pink friend is enormous compared to trainers and passionately defends its offspring, the charming pre-evolution known as Stufful. This physical attacker is really a fairly good threat, with a hefty base 125 attack stat and a mixed normal and
fighting Pokémon combo. It is also resistant to
ghost Pokémon techniques, so you can deal with Gengar and other similar Pokémon with no difficulty.With its excellent type distributed throughout its physical strikes, Bewear can be quite the annoyance. It can learn many techniques including savage swing, hammer arm, earthquake, and even zen headbutt. With its pitiful 60 mph top speed, it will never win any races, but when employed correctly, this formidable animal can be just as lethal as it is cute. In addition, it has a beautiful orange shine that goes well with Stufful.If you wish to have any chance against this
bear Pokémon, you must be aware of its
normal Pokémon weakness, particularly because some people think it's the most dangerous Pokémon in the Alola area.
Toxapex
Since its release, Toxapex has caused havoc for many trainers and caused waves in the metagame. Toxapex is a dual poison and
water Pokémon with a special defense of 142 and an obscene basic defense of 152. This Pokémon is essentially delaying, and it has a lot of poisonous tricks under its sleeve to irritate trainers as they wear down its health. You must ascertain the
water Pokémon weakness if you want to have any chance of doing harm.Poison jab and venoshock are only two of the many techniques Toxapex may learn to
poison Pokémon. Its ability'merciless' also turns any strike against a poisoned opponent into a critical hit. This is one wicked piece of work; it is immune to eight distinct kinds, weak to electric, mental, and ground, but otherwise resistant. Consider incorporating Toxapex if you are assembling a defensive squad.
Salazzle
Vespiqueen, a bee Pokémon, and Salazzle (
Salandit's evolution), both classified as a poison-type, have a shared trait. Similar to how only a female Combee can develop into the queen bee, Salazzle can only evolve from a female Salandit. Because salamzzle is a hybrid of the fire and poison types, be prepared to get both burnt and poisoned—a delightful combo.Salazzle's ability corrosion makes it even more difficult to deal with since it lets it poison Pokémon of any kind. This adds an intriguing wrinkle to the meta: it can now poison other poison kinds, such as Toxapex. Unfortunately, while having a quick speed number of 117 and a respectable special attack stat of 111, its defense is lacking, with both metrics coming in at a pitiful 60. So in, do your harm, then go as soon as possible.Knowing the
fire Pokémon weakness and
poison Pokémon weakness is a good idea if you want to defeat Salazzle in battle.
Lycanroc
Pokémon Sun and Moon took the day and night impact extremely seriously, with the games taking place at various times of the day and naturally emphasizing on the sun and the moon, respectively. It's always good when the Pokémon designs integrate something special about the games they're in. The development of the cute little Rockruff will depend on the version of the game you possess and how you find it early in your journey.The magnificent Lycanroc is a
rock Pokémon of the puppy kind with two unique forms, based on werewolf mythology. Only in Pokémon Sun and Ultra Sun can you find the cuddlier noon version of Lycanroc; in Pokémon Moon or Ultra Moon, on the other hand, you may encounter the horrifying midnight form of the creature, which has black fur and glaring red eyes. Although we like both iterations of the'mon, let's face it—sometimes Pokémon simply seem more menacing.Make sure to read our article on
rock Pokémon weakness if you want to learn how to defeat opponents like Lycanroc. Alternatively, if you haven't obtained one yet, check out our
Rockruff evolution page to learn how to get each Lycanroc variety in Violet and Scarlet.
Zeraora
Normally, we wouldn't include legendary or mythological Pokémon on our lists, but this time we're making an exception. Zeraora is a feline-like
electric Pokémon that goes by the name "thunderclap Pokémon." with angular hair, a vivid yellow mane, and blue streaks originating from various areas of its face and paws. This mythological creature has won over many admirers with its attitude in the anime since it strikes a nice mix between cute and edgy.It is only weak against Pokémon that are grounded since it is a pure electric type, so stay clear from any earthquake users. It does, however, share many other legendary Pokémon's incredible base speed of 143 and decent physical attack of 112, with a total stat spread of 600. It can even absorb voltage, which means that any electric strike will convert to health points. Toxapex is definitely not looking forward to facing this particular Pokémon.It may be difficult to defeat electric-types, but if you run into any problems, you can always refer to our
electric Pokémon weakness page for advice.
Alolan ExeggutorI suppose I'm feeling rebellious today, but another guideline for these lists has been to not discuss regional variances. Pokémon Sun & Moon popularized the idea of regional varieties by attributing significant alterations to a few known Pokémon to the harsh environment of the Hawaii-inspired Alola. The greatest example of the regional variation approach, in my opinion, is still Pokémon Sun and Moon, which gave us some very amazing redesigns of classic monsters.For heaven's sake, Alolan Raichu is right up there, but the huge lad known as Alolan Exeggutor is the real gem of the Alola islands. Few people's favorite Pokémon was this multi-headed palm tree, but thanks to Alola's beautiful sunlight and moderate climate, it thrived to become not only a foolish but a hilarious comedic genius.The game is aware of Alolan Exeggutor's ridiculous length and makes fun of the enormous beast whenever it can, yet this trait manages to make Alolan one of the cutest Pokémon to be released this generation. I see Don Draper standing in front of a whiteboard with the words "LONG EXEGGUTOR" scribbled carelessly on it. I'll purchase all of the Alolan Exeggutor merchandise, promote it to my friends, speak about it with them, and stand up for it till the day I die. It's huge, ridiculous, and I adore it.Considering that Alolan Exeggutor is a dual-type Pokémon (grass and dragon), you may want to check out our instructions on how to counteract grass Pokémon (
grass Pokémon weakness) and dragon Pokémon (
dragon Pokémon weakness). Well, more than just setting it on fire.That's all we have for now, trainers, but we really hope you liked this tour to Alola and all of its fascinating inhabitants. See our
