disclaimer: I'm not a mathematician Also, yes, Machamp is another Pokemon capable of moving mountains (presumably very slowly) but more than likely Blastoise just out right washes the mountain away lol

Another potential contender for Gen 3 is Metang, who can apparently slice through thick metal sheets "as if they were silk" using its claws. It can also fly at 60 miles per hour, and apparently its body "won't be scratched" if it collides with a jet. Honestly, I think that makes it even more powerful than several of the Pokémon on this list, assuming that the Pokédex is talking about a head on collision at Metang's max speed. All of this is while Metang is not fully evolved, mind you. Imagine how durable this thing would be with an Eviolite.

Basic on the Pokédex, Lanturn emits light from the dark seas which is visible from the surface of the water for ships at night, which would take 10^35 times more energy than the mass energy observable universe

The fact that Magcargo is hotter than the Sun doesn't mean that life on Earth would stop. Mass is a determinant factor. Someone a couple of hundred meters from a Magcargo wouldn't even notice its presence.

I argue Tyranitar should be on the list for gen 2, considering it can also destroy mountains. And according to it's entry in Crystal it can do that with only one hand.

Suprised Tyranitar isn't on this list, multiple dex entries talk about how it can destroy mountains and change the landscape so much that maps have to be redrawn, basically the same power as gmax copperajah.

The most tame Pokedex entry on this list was about a steel kaiju being a gardener. This franchise is weird man.

I think for gen 5 you could have included volcarona, the pokemon litteraly replaced the light of the sun when an eruption happened that hide it

I think I'm going to have to give it to Gardevoir on this one. Not only can it generate a black hole, but it can also stop itself from being sucked in, which honestly seems like the more impressive feat to me (though I too am not a mathematician or scientist).

Video Idea: The Most Powerful Pokémon No One Uses

One more thing in Raichu's favor though is its Legends Arceus entry where it is retconned from a meer elephant to a full on Copperaja Raichu one-shots with electricity

Chesnaughts other Pokedex entry states that it actually has enough force to flip a 50 ton tank, which , according to math, is about 444822.16 newton's of force. Nearly the amount an airplane engine exterts to fly.

I like how in the champions league podcast yesterday JPR talks about the old thumbnail format from a couple of years ago where you have one super popular Pokémon and then a super random one and then the next day puts out a video with that exact format

The best part about Friday’s is coming home for my lunch break to see a new JPR video drop. Friday lunch is best lunch

People often reference macargos insane temperature as deadly but they fail to realize just how good an insulator air is (the surface of the sun is also the coolest part of the sun by several orders of magnitude). Basically if you were standing like 10 meters away from macargo you wouldn't even feel the heat coming off of him.

While not overpowered or anything, Houndoom leaving a burn that never heals just sounds dreadful

To be honest, I think we could argue that any ghost type Pokémon capable of absorbing the life energy of people and Pokémon might be stronger than all the Pokémons on your list that are not Magcargo or Gardevoir. And when you see that a little candle is deliberately doing it on children, you know that living in the Pokémon world is a REALLY bad idea.

Just so you know Magcargo's feat isn't really that impressive nor would it cause the destruction of all life like people say it does constantly. We have literally created fusion reactions 5 times greater than the surface of the sun in a lab.

So I guess blastoise is low key the most powerful..cause his mega and his gmax forms on top of what he can do normally? He’s a demon!

pokedex:cloyester shell is unbreakeble ash kingler:casually break cloyester shell

It doesn't change your results, but for grimmsnarl that math is a bit different. Surface area(size) actually affects the volume and weight exponentially so the 100x size would actually mean 1000x the weight instead of 100x the weight. Copperajah still wins by a landslide. But just an interesting note.

Potential video: history of riding Pokémon. From surfing in Gen I, to soaring in ORAS, all the way to the legendaries of Gen IX

your argument for kingler > machamp is a little weird so cloyster's shell can tank a bomb, and kingler can break it and machamp can throw thousands of punches in seconds, +Gmax his punches are comparable to a bomb going off idk, could cloyster's shell really stand up to thousands of bombs going off every second?

Just clarifying it here because everyone seems to think that the black holes Gardevoir makes is so dangerous. 1. At the size of it, let's assume the size of a baseball, it would have a weaker gravitational pull than even the Moon's, making it pretty much useless. 2. For reference, even if the sun hypothetically becomes a black hole right this moment, it still won't have enough gravitational pull to kill us all off. What will kill us in this hypothetical situation is the lack of sunlight. 3. A black hole that little would likely collapse due to the gravitational pull of the earth and sun ripping through it. It's easy to misunderstand the danger of Gardevoir's small black holes because of how black holes are usually portrayed in popular media.

9:27- They are feeding them Magcargos, since Magcargo is the snail pokemon and they eat snails in France...

The problem is he does not differentiate between strongest and most dangerous. Beware is the best example it’s the most dangerous but not the strongest. It’s the difference between a mad man with a knife and a saint with a gun. The one who can do more damage is not the one who likely will do more damage.

While not exactly strength-wise, Tyranitar deserves at least a mention. According to the Dex, Tyranitar cannot be harmed.

I recently discovered your channel and I’m really enjoying your content.

I'm surprised volcarona didn't get a look in gen 5, I don't know exactly how powerful one would need to be to substitute for the sun, but given how devastating volcanic winters can be, that's gotta be a bit of a feat, right?

Lanturn being able to illuminate the surface of the sea from 3 miles deep beats everything on this list.

mancargo is apparently wrong because that's its body temp not the temp it gives off

Lockstin actually debunks the Magcargo dex since the heat need to be the equal of mass and with Magcargo size it's not that dangerous or exaggerated it makes out to be Gardevoir creating a small black hole would be no issue since like again, the mass and size of the black hole is small

The intro of this video had me dying!! Keep up the good work good sir

Thank you for using both standard and metric. A HUGE pet peeve of mine is when content creators only use one or the other, making you pause the video constantly to do conversions. It's really not that hard to just put both on screen or say both so you cover all viewers.

I'm sorry but if you're saying that Gigalith destroying a mountain is more powerful than Volcarona REPLACING THE GODDAMN SUN then I don't wanna know what logic you're using

Man that intro song gets me pumped every time. Love this channel.

I think Magcargo's hidden ability should be switched from Weak Armour, to Dry Skin.

First video where I’ve seen the thumbnail and gone: Huh, that sounds pretty interesting!

4400 Newtons is Roughly 200 lbs btw, so 4000 Newtons is not that much compared to some of the others.

Great video really been enjoying the content bro keep up the good work👌🏽

Lanturn can shine light from the bottom of the ocean to the surface. Considering how well water dissipates light, that's enough power to boil them.

Really big missed oppurtunity not to make the "mini black hole" Gardevoir can make into a signature move.

Machamp can "punch its foes over the horizon," "move mountains with one arm," "punch 1000 times in 1 second," "unleashes megaton level punches," "can send a train flying with a punch"

I'd like to argue that psychic types are actually the most powerful, just in general. Think about it, why destroy mountains yourself, when you can mind control others to do that for you?

Electivire's Ultra Moon dex entry: "A single Electivire can provide enough electricity for all the buildings in a big city for a year." Big jump from 20,000 volts

Magneton's entry in Yellow: Generates strange radio signals. It raises the temperature by 3.6F degrees within 3,300 feet (or 2C within 1km). This is a subtle one that isn't as obvious of a show of strength as some of the other dex entries, but it would take *at least* tens of megawatts of constant power output to affect the air temperature like that, and it's kind of implied that's without even trying or performing an attack, just a side effect of existing.

Forgot Tyranita's dex. It doesn't win but it could've gotten a mention

Let's take a moment to remember that Machamps amd Tyranitars are also apparently able to demolish mountains. Additionally, Kingdras are said to cause vicous whirlpools BY MERELY YAWNING. Imagine if one screamed on purpose.

Haha! What's funny about this is the fact that it's been memed on that Poke'Dex entries were being filled out by Children being sent out on their Pokémon journeys haha! ..and the Professors were just being lazy and going .. 'Eh whatever, Good enough!' LOL! 😂

What gets me about gardevoir is that when she's protecting her trainer. She has access to one incredibly powerful DARK type move

Magcargo is beaten out in gen II by Lanturn, whose dex entry states its light can be seen from the ocean's surface when it's deep underwater. The energy required for this to be possible would be MASSIVE, much, much higher than Magcargo's measly 18k f.

Gardevoir: I can make a small black hole Lanturn: that’s cute watch me destroy the known universe

Machamp can literally punch a man over the hoziron which is allitle over 3 miles and pick up a mountain with 1 hand. On top of all of that the belt is a canonical limiter on his strength so he did all of this NOT BEING AT HIS FULL POWER so it is by far one if not the physically strongest of all non-legendary pokemon

Pokemon worlds tallest buildings are like over the skies

So I looked up the horsepower of the pumps for water jets and they range from 30-150hp just for posterity. Obviously a larger nozzle would require more power, but we would have to know what size nozzles blastiose has to calculate it.

Bruxish may have the strongest bite force of any pokemon since its dex entry states that its jaw is easily capable of breaking a shellder shell. The shelder line's shell are harder than diamond.

Okay the Magcargo might be hotter than the surface of the sun but not hotter than the sun in general. The sun apparently ranges between 27 million degrees Fahrenheit at its core and 10,000°F at the surface. 10,000°F or even 18,000°F isn't THAT hot. To put that into perspective the average Bic lighter reaches about 3,600°F

7:11 yo Skarmory just died bruh 💀

Kingler in the Thumbnail = Automatic Like

You've been on a hot streek lately Keep it up

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but isn't Grimmsnarl's body (or at least a good chunk of it) made up of entirely hair? It's been shown like that in the anime so I think it won't weigh as much when G-Maxed

The kingler in the thumbnail sold the whole video for me.

copperaja: *has to Gmax to destroy mountain* Gigalith: look what they need to mimic a fraction of my power

Technically speaking the strongest is actually wobbuffet

Seeing as Horsepower is just torque x RPM, we could say Kingler's pincer has a crushing force of 10,000N⋅m. Take a 1 meter long ruler, hold it on one end with your hand. Now put 1,000kg on the other end, your hand is experiencing 10,000N⋅m of torque. The Pokédex for Gingantamax Kingler is pretty brutal; "The left pincer of Gigantamax Kingler can destroy anything it hits. The bubbles it releases are strongly alkaline. Should any opponent be struck by the bubbles, their bodies will quickly melt away." @JPRPokeTrainer98

What about volcarona who acted as the sun

Question: What was the footage used at the end of Gigalith's section from? Thanks in advance. That aside it's a good thing pokemon don't decide to use the full extent of their powers for world domination, although given the evil Malamar trio are out there some exceptions apply.

"So gigalith have achieved more than we humans ever hope to achieve in a blast" the atom bomb" let me introduce myself"

The generation 3 pokedex entry for tyranitar says “it can bring down a whole mountain to make its nest” so it’s on par with gmax copperaja in base form. And in gen 5 it says something about it going on rampages so destructive entire maps must be redrawn.

Ahh that time of day where I get off work on a Friday sit on the toilet and watch a jpr video 😁

i love how the video devolved into comparing pokedexes

"I'm not Matt Pat" *proceeds to use Dynamax Pikachu to calculate the jumping power of a Dynamax Grimsnarl.

To further add to how strong Bewear is, in the anime it also fought against Guzzlord and even managed to throw it and knock it down with a punch and that saying something.

The thought of a 105ft grimmsnarl getting 40 seconds of air time is simultaneously terrifying and hilarious.

Charizard's fire is said to be able to melt anything which is pretty powerful

Magcargo isn’t as dangerous as you think. It’s BODY temperature is high sure, but it isn’t it’s surface temperature.

im more impressed not at marcargo's existence in the real world would kill us, but how the humans in the pokemon world are literally just built different LOL

Moral of the story, don’t trust facts written by 10 year olds.

I loved your reaction to the gen 6 Pokemon 😂😂😂

And you laughed when in legends Arceus people were afraid of pokemon... O_O

The Pokédex says that Dragonite can fly at the speed of light and a punch coming from something that fast would be quite destructive

Love the ‘yes you have been played’

Lightning is also than da surface of da sun. You gassin Magcargo bro

No one tell him flareon has 3700degree flames that instant melt steel..

Smashed the like button with the force of 1000 suns and now it's time for a new phone

Ice Hammer was in fact a signature move lmao. Great video though!

"Congrats you been played" well damn you got me

"Pokedex is fanfiction" That's kinda what fiction dose

Imagine having a Pokemon battle and some dude sends out a Blastoise and it literally blows a hole through your pokemon and kills it

i did the conversions for Blastoise and Kingler based on known data and Kingler is stronger when converted to kilograms of force, so yeah, for Gen 1 Kingler is the strongest

W background music at the beginning

How do you take into account stuff like the ability to change the weather? A hurricane has a lot of energy

The fact that he forgot tyranitar can throw mountains and is invincible

The fact that Gigalith can blow away a mountain is hilarious to me because that *almost* makes him as powerful as Reanimated Madara Uchiha’s perfect Susano’o from Naruto Shippuden. And Madara only cut off the tops of those boys-gigalith blows it away.

1:39 1.21 JIGGAWATTS!!!

Magcargo being a planet buster is unfathomably hard

Gigalith outclassing nuclear explosions with that 60 base special attack, hot damn

you missed Wooper's insane power to melt hearts and cause pure joy

Horsepower is a unit of measurement. While normally used for engines, it measures 550 foot-pounds per second for 1 horsepower. As such, Kingler's 10 thousand horsepower would be the equivalent of 5.5 million foot pounds of force. While it's only over the surface that it can grab, Kingler can crush anything.

I use to operate a water jet back when I was about 19 working in a fabrication shop
