As a pseudo-legendary Pokemon, Dragonite is already above most other mons with a base stat total of 600. However, what makes Dragonite particularly strong is the combination of its two potential abilities and access to powerful physical stab dragon moves like Outrage. Dragonite's Inner Focus ability prevents it from flinching and having its attack stat reduced by fearful opponents, but Multiscale can be a better ability overall as it halves damage from opponents while Dragonite is at full HP.

When Dragonite Mega-Evols, it gains a 100-point increase to its base stat total, as well as regaining its stat spread. Dragonite was already somewhat of a mixed attack before Mega Evolution, but Mega Dragonite changes its primary attack status from Attack to Special Attack. This can make Dragonite less viable in terms of the abilities Mega Dragonite can gain, but it can also increase Dragonite's overall versatility. Pokemon Championstoo

Porygon2 may not look very impressive at first glance, especially as a mid-stage development of Porygon. However, as a non-fully evolved Pokemon, Porygon2 can hold the Eviolite item, which drastically increases its Defense and Special Defense making Porygon2 an incredibly heavy team member. With its low speed stat, Porygon2 is perfect for setting up Trick Room, which slows down the first Pokemon when it activates. The combination of defensive bulk, solid special attacks, and the ability to go first when in the trick room make Porygon2 an underrated threat that could prove valuable. Pokemon Champions.
Porygon2 is somewhat difficult to achieve Fire red and leaf greenPlayers need to get the Porrigan from the game corner and then trade it while holding the upgrade item after getting the National Dex.

Next Gen 2 on Mon Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreenis the post-game Entei, and is well worth grabbing for players who choose Bulbasaur as their starter. Entei is a fast and strong physical attacker with decent bulk. However, the best reason to transfer Entei to use Pokemon Champions Its inner focus is for ability, allowing it to deal with fearsome users without reducing its attack status. This allows Entei to leave with a powerful Sacred Fire attack that can easily deal with Steel-type Pokemon while resisting Fairy types that threaten a partner like Dragonite.

Despite accumulating a base figure of 490, Kangaskhan itself is not that impressive. Normal types don't offer much offensively, though the Scrappy ability allows Kangaskhan to hit Ghost-type Pokemon. However, Kangaskhan becomes an absolute terror when Mega Evolves, gaining access to one of Gen 6's most broken combos.

Mega Kangaskhan's Parental Bond ability allows Mon to use almost any damaging move twice, with the second hit dealing 25% of the attack's base damage. While this is a drop-off from the glory days of the ability in Gen 6, it can still be used in moves like Power-Up Punch, which has the side effect of boosting Mega Kangaskhan's attack by 1 stage. Using the move twice with Parental Bond gives Mega Kangaskhan a double attack boost to quickly overpower this critter incredibly.

Once Gengar Mega-evolves, it gives a significant boost to both its special attack and speed stats, making them even more impressive than before. Gengar also has access to Nasty Plot, which can be used to further enhance its special attacks. Combine these factors with Mega Gengar's Shadow Tag ability, which prevents Pokemon from switching out, and it can trap opponents in special attack sweeps with moves like Shadow Ball and Sludge Wave.

Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y essentially allow players to choose whether they want a more physically oriented Mewtwo or a more special-oriented one. Both options are solid, increasing their respective offensive positions by substantial margins, while also keeping their top speed positions. However, Mega Mewtwo Y is generally a decent choice, as Mewtwo has access to better special moves like Psystrake and Aura Sphere, while having enough of a speed boost to make it faster than Mega Mewtwo X.
