The heaviest Pokémon appear later in the series. The Pokémon Company is continually drawing more robust designs that resonate with Poké Fans. Although Generation I’s Pokémon aren’t the most massive, they would appear quite large in scale for the average person.
It takes experience to win battles. Stats such as Special Attack, Attack, HP, Defense, and Speed are critical. However, if you’d like to win with the heaviest Pokémon, the main series games are accommodating. As an RPG (role-playing game), there isn’t a single path in Pokémon. All of these Pokémon are worthy additions to a lineup.
10 Mewtwo (269.0 lbs.)
This Psychic-type legendary is known for its high Special Attack, but less for its weight. It’s a Pokémon that’s just over six feet. This genderless Pokémon appears as the last Pokémon in Pokémon Red and Blue. Lurking deep in the Cerulean Cave, Mewtwo provides the ultimate trainer test. Have a stockpile of Ultra Balls, or be prepared to use a Master Ball. According to Mewtwo’s Pokémon Yellow Pokédex entry, “Its DNA is almost the same as Mew’s. However, its size and disposition are vastly different.”
9 Machamp (286.6 lbs.)
Machamp is one of the rarest Pokémon in the original 150. It’s a Pokémon that is only obtained by trading a Machoke as it can’t be found in the wild. As a weight-lifting Pokémon, Machamp has been bulking up throughout its existence. It’s a Pokémon with a strong mastery over various martial arts. This Pokémon’s weight is 286.6 lbs., with most of its weight being pure muscle and extra appendages.
8 Cloyster (292.1 lbs.)
This dual-type Water and Ice Pokémon first appeared in Generation I. It has an appearance that is based on a pearl. Nobody has ever seen Cloyster outside its shell, but if it did leave, it would be a much lighter Pokémon. Cloyster has an astonishing weight of 292.1 lbs. According to Cloyter’s Pokémon Yellow Pokédex entry, “For protection, it uses its harder-than-diamonds shell. It also shoots spikes from the shell.”
7 Arcanine (341.7 lbs.)
Arcanine is a mighty canine that you can depend on to win battles. Despite its bulky size, Arcanine can run at extreme speeds. Evolving from a Growlithe after using a Fire Stone, Arcanine become one of the generation’s heaviest Pokémon. In its puppy stage as a Growlithe, it weighs 41.8 lbs. It’s weight increasing drastically after evolving. In the anime, Gary used an Arcanine to combat Team Rocket’s Giovanni.
6 Dragonite (463 lbs.)
Third-stage evolutionary Pokémon are often heavier than their earlier forms. Dragonite follows suit as the heaviest Pokémon in its final stage. Starting from a Dratini with a low weight of 7.3 lbs., this Pokémon eventually becomes 463 lbs.
It’s large enough to crush smaller Pokémon, but not so big that it can’t hug Ash Ketchum. You won’t see a Dragonite until level 55, but the wait is worth it for one of Generation I’s heaviest Pokémon.
5 Onix (463 lbs.)
If the power of a Pokémon had a relation to its size, Onix would be a powerhouse. On the contrary, Onix can be defeated by lesser Pokémon like Squirtle and Bulbasaur. Of course, the reference is the Onix you face in Pewter City’s Gym. Brock commands a high-level Onix, but many players expeditiously defeat this Pokémon. Even the Bide technique can’t save Onix. As you get further into Generation I’s games, it becomes clear that Onix is underpowered and should remain in a PC box.
4 Lapras (485.0 lbs.)
As another rare Generation I Pokémon on this list, Lapras can only be found in one location. In Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow, Lapras is found in Silph Company Headquarters. Every player passes the person who gives you a Lapras at some point because she is next to Gary.
Lapras resembles the loch ness monster, and like the loch ness monster, Lapras is a large aquatic creature. It was initially going to be called “Ness” until it became “Lapras.” The elusive nature of this Pokémon makes its size even more fascinating.
3 Gyarados (518.1 lbs.)
It doesn’t come as a surprise that Gyarados is a powerful Pokémon, despite being one that evolved from a Magikarp. This Pokémon makes a fine addition to any lineup, so long as it doesn’t face an Electric-type, which is quadruply effective.
With a weight of 518.1 lbs., this Pokémon is approximately a quarter the weight of a ton. Less than a car’s weight, but more than enough to be a dominant creature in Pokémon battles.
2 Golem (661.4 lbs.)
Although Golem isn’t the tallest or longest Pokémon, it is made up of densely packed plated rocks. It’s been suggested that dynamite cannot scratch this Pokémon. As a dual-type Rock and Ground, Golem is the second-heaviest Pokémon in the first generation. According to Golem’s Pokémon Yellow Pokédex entry, “Once it sheds its skin, its body turns tender and whitish. Its hide hardens when it’s exposed to air.”
1 Snorlax (1014.1 lbs.)
Both in mass and body fat content, Snorlax takes the cake, literally. This creature is considered the heaviest Pokémon in Generation I history and a top contender for heaviest Pokémon of all time. You’ll find Snorlax in a deep sleep blocking routes in Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow. Given its high health, the move Rest works almost as if it was designed for it. Snorlax is the definition of lazy; eating and sleeping most of the time.
