ITT:
We post Pokémon that, regardless of Smogon tiering or VGC usage, always comes across as really strong to you.

For me, it's Sceptile. The anime really sold me on it since it was always really strong whenever it apppeared.

Sceptile's design always looked really weak to me. The blades look useless to the extent the anime had to have them transform into a different shape while the twiggy arms don't seem like they'd have the strength to put any force behind them.

It's fast and a hard hitter, lacking defenses
Of course it would be frail

I see were you're coming from, but as >>38093594 said, it's power comes from it's speed. Also, I've always felt like the arm swords transformed due to them being so full of elemental power so it never felt weird to me.

This nibba always kicked ass back in the BW days and I've used it during several playthroughs so the idea of it being really strong has etched itself in my mind.

I have that feeling that deep down Whiscash has the ability to mess you up, but he's just too chill

I bred Spark on this nibba only because it was cool that he could learn it. It would've been more beneficial to teach it Bounce, but Spark and Dragon Dance were the two cool things it had over other Water/Ground types.

Didn't Cloyster drop to RU this gen? The amount of sweeps I've gotten with Cloyster on Showderp, to say nothing of the amount of times I've been swept by it, lead me to believe it's pretty good.

I love when they give mons moves you wouldn't expect it to have, like how Raticate gets Flame Wheel as an egg move.

Onix should be wicked strong. Its this massive snake made of boulders. It should be able to crush tiny pokemon with ease.

It was everywhere on VGC, though. Intimidate + Fake Out is nothing to scoff at. Plus it had arguably the best typing at that time. Fairies kinda threw it off but STAB on buffed Knock Off kept him relevant until he was completely outclassed by Incineroar in GenVII.

It's my favourite mon by far, and I still use it in UU where fairies aren't omnipresent. I like how he has many different sets. Shed Skin Rest is great for a bulky set up set with Bulk Up; Moxie Dragon Dance + HJK/Crunch hits like a truck; and Intimidate + Knock Off is great to stop the enemy momentum.

>>38094032
It's pretty good, but the reason it dropped is because it is too predictable, 99% of the time it's a Shell Smash sweeper; plus it's so frail on the special side that even resisted attacks are enough to knock it out.

>>38094117
It's always funny seeing it in Little Cup lol

Beedrill. The pure terror the anime characters felt when they ran into a swarm of them in the woods made me think it was a god but it has like 50 attack or something wtf

Pretty much any bipedal belonging to the Monster egg group.

I'm looking at you, Nidoking

90 attack.

Funny thing is, Lugia's offenses are both only 90 despite being crazy powerful in the dex.
