What about Bidoof? I’m half-joking, half-serious. In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, a wild Bidoof can learn Superpower and cause chaos. And in the fandom, Bidoof has become a meme god. Power isn’t always about numbers—it’s about fear. (Have you seen a Bidoof’s eyes? Empty. Soulless.)
Then there’s Shedinja with a Focus Sash. It has 1 HP, but if you nullify its weaknesses, it’s basically immortal. You can use it to stall out entire teams. It’s a bug corpse that says "no u" to Legendaries.

What About the Anime? Ash’s Pikachu?
Ah, the anime. Ash’s Pikachu has taken down a Metagross, a Dragonite, and even a Latios (which is a legendary). That yellow rodent defies all logic. It’s like watching a Chihuahua beat up a bear. But anime rules are different—victory is fueled by friendship and dramatic music.
Meanwhile, Team Rocket’s Meowth can talk. That’s a unique skill no other Pokémon has. Does that make it powerful? Maybe not in a fight, but in terms of plot armor? Absolutely. (Also, it can use Pay Day to fund its schemes. Gotta respect the hustle.)
