Top 10 Greatest Pokemon Designs
#8 - Lucario
The next best Pokemon Design, at least in our minds, is Lucario, the Aura Pokemon. Now Lucario is a Fighting Dog like Pokemon who can read and sense auras, and it's a pretty cool Pokemon. Just look at it; it looks strong and fierce, as well as completely loyal. On top of having a great look, Lucario was also given a movie all about it. And whenever a Pokemon has had this privilege, its popularity normally skyrockets. The same is true for Lucario, who is beloved by many Pokemon Fans. It also was given a Mega Evolution, which is pretty darn cool. Mega Lucario was actually the first Mega Evolution that most Pokemon Fans battled with and captured (with Katrina in Pokemon X and Pokemon Y). And that will always be special to many Pokemon Fans, like they're first Starter Pokemon or first Pokemon Capture.
Along with all of these things, Lucario actually has some pretty good statistics for a Pokemon. It has a decent Base Speed Stat, as well as pretty darn high Base Attack and Special Attack Stats. Lucario has good enough stats to sweep Pokemon Teams, though its Mega Evolution has a much easier time accomplishing this. Mega Lucario is a much better Pokemon statistically, but not so great aesthetically. The whole dreadlocks things is kind of weird on Mega Lucario, but its power and speed combination is well worth it. Mega Lucario has much more speed than Lucario, and A LOT more power than it. However, this article is all about Design, and Lucario looks much better than Mega Lucario. Actually... Lucario looks better than A LOT of Pokemon; it IS ranked in our top ten.
But since not much more can be done with Lucario, especially in regards to its overall design, this ranking will have to do. And really, we think that this is the best place for it, as the Pokemon ranked ahead of it are MUCH better looking.

Dam sun, you have a serious case of GenWun syndrome. Charizard as #1? Why? There is literally no reason Charizard should have been on this list. You even admitted that the only reason Nidoking made the list at all was because of nostalgia "If you don't remember Nidoking or don't feel it should be listed here, you obviously weren't one of the earlier Pokemon Fans. Because Nidoking was THE BOSS."
I know this article is your personal preference, but Charizard? Really? Not even mega Char Y which is basically the same pokemon, but better in every way? Disgraceful.
okay charizard is cool but its so simple and not creative at all the only creative thing about charizard's Design is the fire in his tail . its just a fire breathing dragon . OMG so original and creative . stop being blinded by nostalgia .
IMO charizard could be In the list but not first . I am surprised Venusaur wasn't part of this list . if Blastoise ( a pokemon with an unrealistic Design ) in the list why cant Venusaur ? its design is creative and complicated that even the creator of pokemon admit it that he hate how complicated it is .
lastly . what are you ? an edgy kid ? Charizard X have a terrible Design only an edgy kid will like it .
Ahh, too much gen 6 hype.
Where did all the gen 5 pokemon go?
and speaking of design, WHY ARE YOU MENTIONING m-swampert?
My personal favourites are the route 4 pokemon in generation 5, they al fit so perfectly into the place they are in.
I think Mega Charizard X would be better than Charizard.
I think mega charizard x is better than charizars
I will ALWAYS have Mega Rayquaza as #1 on my top ten greatest Pokemon designs.
Gyrados
Where is Mewtwo?
Why so people hate Charizard! He's far from overrated. If any of these Pokemon are overrated its Pikachu. I'm not saying I hate Pikachu but he really dosen't look that cool. Nidoking also shouldn't have been on this list. I would've likes to seen my second fave pokemon Garchomp, or Zekrom or Mewtwo. Also, how are goomy, gyarados, or diance are better than Charizard. I must admit, Mega Rayquaza does have more details than any of Charizard's forms. But there's just something about Charizards simple, yet still decently detailed design that makes him cool. But above all, no pokemon has a better design than Mega Charizard X. His black scales and blue flames makes him look like a total beast. People aren't necessarily nostalgic for liking Charizard. I got into pokemon by the time of generation 5 and Charizard still became my favorite pokemon. Charizard's just awesome. I guess some people just don't like to dis the popular Pokemon, though Charizard seems like a bigger target than Pikachu.
I don't know how I didn't see Charizard at the top of this in the first place, I should've seen it coming, he's easilly the most over rated Pokemon ever, and Pokemon like Garchomp, Salamence, hell, GOOMY look more detailed and aesthetically pleasing to me than friggen Charizard...was this written by a nostalgia freak? I wouldn't be surprised this time.
i like pokemons[img][img][/img] [/img]
Let me guess, IGN wrote this
Wouldn't be surprised.
Charzard? There are many dragons that can beat his design! Like Garchomp and Gyarados!
Delcatty should have been here too, considering her sleek and stylish appearance, particularly in the anime. And no, Charizard is too simple (even Diancie could beat it). Lopunny is also quite neat, particularly shiny Lopunny. But no one cares about normal-types.
No gallade or mega gallade? Wtf!!!?
Nooo...Hoopa Unbound is a little too overdesigned in my opinion. Though maybe that's just me.
No, I think that as well
Seriously!?!?!?
Mega rayquaza takes the cake right away in best Pokemon design lists HOW DOES CHARIZARD BEAT MEGA RAYQUAZA Charizard is just too over-rated[img][/img]
I actually thought charizard would be first. Fire type for life
Seriously? Charizard? In my opinion, his design is simple. I can think of several other pokemon designs that beat his. Even though everybody has heard this a million times, he's overrated.
Right?? Pheh, genwunners.
u dont have to be negative >:(.
Deoxys
charizard first :D
Lol
awesm
My second favorite pokemomn (hoopa) is on the list, that makes me happy enough : D
Hi
Where's mewtwo??
Mega rayquaza, primal groudon and Therian landorus has the nicest design
if these are the best then there is a serious lack of imagination going on with the animators...
Charizard should just go and die in a ....... stone edge. But for real, that pokemon is so overrated.
Yup, wouldn't be able to stand up to a rock type too easily.
