Regardless of whether you’re a casual Pokémon Go player or can recognise the value of farming Defense EVs from wild Graveler, there’s a pretty good chance you know which Pokémon are among the very best, like no one ever was. We’ve all been on the receiving end of an EQ from Garchomp at one stage or another — nobody is looking at Gen 4’s hammerhead fighter jet and going, “That lad looks a bit weak.”
Still, there are 18 types in Pokémon, many of which are deceptively underrepresented in conversations about the series’ most powerful creatures. Water, Fairy, and Steel are probably the three best types in the game, while Dragon Pokémon are usually significantly overpowered, accounting for a whopping 78% of all known pseudo-Legendaries (Pokémon who are so good they’re on the verge of unofficial Legendary status).

This doesn’t automatically mean they’re the best, however, and it’s relatively common for Pokémon with way lower stats to acquire much higher usage rates. Because of this, we’ve decided to collect the best Pokémon of every type in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
Whether you’re a Fairy fanatic or the prodigy of Poison-types, here are Hisui’s best ‘mons for every element. This is excluding Legendary Pokémon on account of the fact their stats are like, a million, or something.
