Top 10 1st Generation Competitive Pokemon

Chansey

If you're a real competitive battler, you know just how good Chansey is.

Eviolite Chansey has to be one of the most frustrating, annoying Pokemon out there. The item, Eviolite, makes Chansey insanely strong. I mean seriously... Up to almost 650 HP, 460 special defense, and almost 200 defense... That's crazy tough. And don't forget it learns Softboiled, almost guaranteeing Chansey's immortality (unless a strong Physical Attacker comes into play). Plus it can heal itself from any status condition with the ability Natural Cure.

If all of that isn't bad enough, Chansey can also learn Seismic Toss, providing it with a nice attack (since it has horrible attacking abilities). Some people even run Counter Chansey as a nice little gimmick, trying to trick opponents into doing physical attacks. Chansey then return fires with double the damage, almost guaranteeing a KO.

Chansey could easily be ranked higher. Unfortunately, Chansey is pretty predictable. It tries to Status/Seismic Toss you to death, while trying to stay as healthy as possible. One Taunt and it's done.

Let's not forget Blaziken is one of the most popular Pokemon out there, and it LOVES to crush Chansey.
