Top 10 1st Generation Competitive Pokemon
Pokemon is one of the top selling Video Games Franchises of all-time. It's hard to believe that the series has already released six generations of Pokemon.
One of the main reason the series continues to be successful is because of its competitive play. In this article, we'll take a look at the most competitive first generation Pokemon there are, and why they made the ranks.
Please remember that this article focuses on these Pokemon during the Sixth Generation of the series, and these rankings are solely based upon personal opinion from numerous battle experiences. This article will also exclude Legendary Pokemon and Mega Evolution, since they're in a class all of their own.
The data in this article may become outdated with future released generations... Just to let you know.Want to voice how you feel about these rankings? Feel free to express your thoughts in the comment section below. Tell who you think should be ranked higher or lower, or who you think should have made the list.
Before we officially begin, let's take a look at a few Pokemon that just barely missed the list:
1) Slowbro - Even though it can withstand hits due to its high defensive stats and regain lost Hit Points because of its Regenerator ability, it wasn't enough to break the Top Ten.
2) Charizard - Charizard will never be the same, not since it has such great Mega Evolutions.
3) Venomoth - Venomouth is a really good Quiver Dance user, but even that can't help it here.
4) Alakazam - Hard hitter, but still too fragile.
Without further ado, let's begin!
Gyarados
Gyarados has always been a popular Pokemon. I don't know of many people who didn't have it on their team in Pokemon Red/Blue.
The sea beast has always had a pretty good attack stat, along with okay defensive stats. It has never had great speed, but lucky for it, it can learn Dragon Dance.
I know most people might not think Gyarados should have peaked in the Top Ten; most people are probably wondering why it's here. The main reason Gyarados is ranked is because it's the perfect match against Blaziken, one of the best Competitive Pokemon.
Gyarados can easily switch in on Blaziken without taking serious damage, and then get off a free Dragon Dance. From there, it can easily sweep teams (especially if it has Moxie as its ability).
Gyarados really isn't seen much, and really only has one main use. But since that use is to stop/block Blaziken, that's enough to sneak into the Top Ten.

Hey, great article. Just wondering if you have a top 10 list for each generation? And possibly a top 10 list overall, comparing the top 10 from each generation?

Ummmm... Where is Gengar? He's been in OU since RBY, and has always been a top tier threat with it's great movepool and beastly stats. Heck, even his Mega was banned into Ubers. Also, if we're talking Gen 6, Kangaskhan, Charizard, and Pidgeot deserve a spot.
Also, talking frailty as a fault of Alakazam, then instantly bring up Gyarados and Cloyster.
-_-
gyrados deserves #1. Everyone must have a gyrados as water type unless their starter is water type.
Not impressed much by the list....Gyarados at 10? Pretty sure it should be at least in the top 5. Ditto? Most. Predictable. Thing. Ever. Maybe it was cool before team previews, but now it's easily planned for during battle. And while cloyster is OK as a shell smash sweeper, I find omastar does a bit of a better job at doing so (better coverage movepool, doesn't get completely walled by steel type due to moves like scald/surf and earth power).
And the legends & megas technically aren't in a league of their own. Articuno and Moltres got demolished when gen 4 came around and introduced the mortal enemy of bird-kind, stealth rock. Of course, Mewtwo is a different story...
Fricking clefable #1
Gengar?

what about nidoqueen is she worth it
oh and for the record garados is sopposed to be on here its no surprise to anyone-.-
Eh, all you people do realize that this list IS about gen 1 pokemon, right? I see people mentioning gen 2, 3 and 4 pokemon and someone complaining it's too much gen 1. I suggest you guys read the title of the list first.
first off i dont agree with the person who posted this sure some pokemon here belong on here but some dont
Why you don't mention pikachu cause he is very, very a trillion times very courageous
because pikachu is garbage (esp in competitive)
Chansey can evolve into Blissy, high hp softboiled and can know moves like mega punch or hyper beam, but not even a mention to Garbachomp, Tyranitar or Metagross. This list is too biased by a G1 Trainer.
dude, read the title
No mention of Gengar or Starmie? Feel like someone slipped a bit here.
