>Dragonite the classic. Never let me down as a Dragonair, still took forever to level up.
>Tyranitar, versatile. Dragonbreath, Dragon Pulse, and Hyper Beam fulfilled my Goji dream in the post games, despite being all physical. Never played Gen 2, and I have yet to pick up Larvitar in HGSS. Leveling it up in FRLG was a more tedious experience than Dragonair.
>Salamance, a terrifying sweeper, one DDance is enough to wipe everything.
>Metagross, the most fun I had with a pseudo. Only a few could withstand its sheer power, Explosion massacred everything, even the most resilient.
>Garchomp, the staple, combined the best traits of the preceding Pseudos prior to Gen 5.
>Hydreigon, late evo high reward. Draco Meteor spam in Subway battles never gets old.
>Goodra, a huge disappointment to call it a Pseudo. Underwhelming power using it in Battle Mansion, later replays of X and Y I used Noivern.
>Kommo-o, an underdog, though it took a while to shine, USUM gifted it one of the best Z-Crystals.
>Dragapult, couldn't ask for more. It had power, speed, versatility, and fun.
>Baxcalibur. I haven't touched SV yet. Its design looks a bit lazy, comparing it to the obvious.
