Top 10 Greatest Pokemon Designs
#6 - Blaziken
One of the greatest Physical Sweepers in Competitive Play is Blaziken, and its design definitely backs up this status. Blaziken is actually a Giant, Fire Blowing, Hi Jump Kicking Chicken, and even though that sounds like one of the weirdest things ever, it's still very much so amazing. Blaziken looks like what a Pokemon should: a creature that possesses amazing power and will literally crush anything you tell it to. And believe us, Blaziken has more than enough power to spare. Its design is where it all begins, but many factors go into Blaziken's popularity.
And a lot like Darkrai, Mega Swampert and Hoopa Unbound, Blaziken has the statistical makeup to backup such an incredible design. Like we said, Blaziken is one of the best pure Physical Sweepers in the World of Pokemon. It begins with its Speed Boost Ability. Within two moves in any battle, Blaziken is the fastest Pokemon alive. Only Prankster Ability or Move Priority Pokemon can move before it, which isn't much. And when you add this type of speed with just one Swords Dance and the boost from the Life Orb, Blaziken is virtually unstoppable. It has more power than you can possibly image (more than that of non Choice Band Mega Rayquaza), and it can literally sweep just about any Pokemon. And this includes ones that aren't even weak to Blaziken's Flare Blitz or Hi Jump Kick. It's a scary thought, but with Blaziken, it's reality.
But since this is all about design, Blaziken doesn't rank as high as it could. Only a few Pokemon tops its power, and the same is true in terms of designs. Only a few Pokemon match up better than Blaziken is that regard, and each and every one of those Pokemon are found ranked ahead of it on this list.

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.
