After simulating 1.8 million battles, Pokemon professor finds the series' strongest creature isn't literal god but an unobtainable form you only see for one fight

It may once have been easy to call Magikarp the worst Pokemon of all time and Mewtwo the very best, but times change. With over 1,000 Pokemon now in existence, determining the series' strongest creatures is now way harder to work out. In fact, if you want to approach it scientifically, you're looking at over 1.8 million battles worth of data in order to rank them.

That's what YouTuber Astroid Videos (AKA Frank Redisi) found, anyway. Redisi simulated a whopping 1,810,053 battles, pitting every Pokemon (including Mega Evolutions and significant alternate forms) against each other, with each pair fighting three 1v1 battles. This ended up creating an enormous list from one to 1098, ranked using each Pokemon's overall win/loss ratio accumulated during the 30 hours of matchups.
