Pokémon Ash’s Best Pokémon From Each Region
Pokémon: Ash’s Best Pokémon From Each Region
Contents
Ash Ketchum unsurprisingly has some of the best Pokémon in the world, but what are his best Pokémon from each region?

As of June 2021, and after 1,158 anime episodes, Ash Ketchum owns a total of 77 Pokémon, including the 30 Taurus he caught in the now-banned episode “The Legend of Dratini.” And considering Ash’s goal is to become a Pokémon Master, catching these 77 Pokémon is a remarkable feat.
Out of all of Ash’s Pokémon, some are certainly more memorable than others. When it comes to which is better, Charizard and Greninja are both strong candidates. Still, the matter is too subjective to declare one Pokémon is better than all others. However, with each new region that Ash visits, some Pokémon immediately stand out, becoming crucial members of his team, and earning a place among his very best allies.
9 Honorable Mention: Pikachu
Pikachu is not only Ash’s best friend and closest companion, but also one of his most powerful Pokémon. Pikachu’s journey is uneven, and he goes through numerous changes throughout the anime. Starting in Black & White, he somewhat regresses into a weaker state without explanation. However, in the current Journeys season, Pikachu is once again an impressive and formidable Pokémon.
Still, there are limitations to its strength, and its refusal to evolve certainly hinders its battling prowess. Pikachu is the one constant in Ash’s team, and it has proven just how powerful it is numerous times, like in the Lily of the Valley conference when it faces Tobias’ Latios.
8 Kanto: Charizard
Arguably Ash’s most popular Pokémon, Charizard’s journey with his Trainer is one for the ages. It first appears as an abandoned Charmander, starting a trend about Ash’s Fire starters getting discarded by other Trainers. It then evolves into a spirited Charmeleon before reaching its final stage.
As Charizard, the Pokémon initially refuses to obey Ash and, at times, even actively defies him. Over the years, they become closer, and Charizard returns to aid Ash even after their parting in “Charizard’s Burning Ambitions.” Charizard famously fought an Entei in the third Pokémon movie, although it was part of an illusion conjured by the Unown.
7 Johto: Heracross
Heracross was the first Pokémon Ash caught in Johto. The dual Bug/Fighting-type soon became one of his main Pokémon, and Ash used it in the Lily of the Valley conference against Tobias’ Darkrai, where it performs quite decently even though it cannot prevail. Ash also uses it during his climactic battle with Gary Oak in the Silver Conference. Heracross defeats Gary’s Magmar before succumbing to his Blastoise.
Heracross is eager yet easily distracted. Its love for sap is a running gag in the series, and it often sucks it out of Bulbasaur’s bulb, much to the green frog’s annoyance.
6 Hoenn: Sceptile
Sceptile isn’t the first Grass starter that Ash owns, but it’s the most powerful one. After all, his Bulbasaur never evolves, and his Chikorita only makes it Bayleef. Thus, Sceptile is the second fully-evolved starter that Ash owns after Charizard.
As one of Ash’s most suave Pokémon, Sceptile always acted calm and collected, even as a Treecko. It is also very proud and stubborn, qualities that make it even more dauntless in battle. Sceptile memorably defeated Tobias’ Darkrai, cementing its place as one of Ash’s most impressive Pokémon.
5 Sinnoh: Infernape
Like Charmander, Chimchar got abandoned by its former trainer, Paul. Hurt yet inspired, it joins Ash on a journey that would eventually turn him into the Trainer’s strongest Sinnoh Pokémon. Chimchar is one of the most expressive Pokémon in the anime and cried more than once during its early days with Ash.
As Infernape, and whenever it used Blaze, it went berserk and lost all control. It even hurt Ash, and it took the Trainer much work to get the fire monkey to calm down. Infernape also shares a similar personality with its Trainer, as both it and Ash are always looking for Trainers stronger than themselves.
4 Unova: Pignite
Ash’s Unova team isn’t the most memorable. Even though he catches all Starters, only one evolves, but it never reaches its final form. Like Chimchar and Charizard before it, Tepig’s former trainer also forsakes it. It willingly goes with Ash after the Trainer shows kindness towards it, but remains unsure of itself.
It evolves into Pignite during a battle against its former owner, Seamus, upon which its self-esteem improves, even becoming somewhat vain. Pignite also shares a deep admiration for Ash’s Charizard and a friendly rivalry with his Infernape.
3 Kalos: Greninja
Unlike Unova, Ash has plenty of iconic Pokémon in Kalos. Goodra, Noivern, and Talonflame are all exceptional, but it’s Greninja who ultimately comes out on top. Although its personality doesn’t show it, Greninja is one of Ash’s most powerful Pokémon ever and has a very close bond with him.
This proximity ultimately allows it to acquire a unique form known as Ash-Greninja. It takes some time for both Trainer and Pokémon to master the form because Ash also feels physical pain whenever Greninja takes damage. Ash’s decision to release Greninja in “Facing the Needs of the Many!” remains controversial in the community, but the Pokémon’s spirit lives on in the hearts of fans.
2 Alola: Melmetal
Because it debuted in Pokémon: GO and remains unavailable in most mains series games, Melmetal and its pre-evolution, Meltan, aren’t particularly well-known by most players. The anime, which often contradicts the games, has plenty of Meltan living in the wild, one of which eventually joins Ash’s team.
It evolves into Melmetal after fusing with another wild Meltan, increasing its power considerably. A naturally curious and independent Pokémon, Melmetal constantly wandered off, much to Ash’s chagrin. It also tended to act on its own, even during battle. Melmetal is the first and so far only Mythical Pokémon owned by Ash.
1 Galar: Dracovish
Dracovish is a very bizarre Pokémon. It’s, of course, the combination of two wrong fossils, but its personality is as strange as its appearance. Like James’ Vectreebel, Dracovish also enjoys biting Ash’s head as a show of affection.
Despite its caring and kind nature, Dracovish is a very resilient and powerful Pokémon. Recently, it defeated Iris’s powerful Dragonite, cementing its place as Ash’s Galarian ace and aiding its Trainer move to the Ultra Class in the World Coronation Series.
