A powerful Pok\u00e9mon<\/a> is a force to be reckoned with. Whether it is its ability to overcome type weaknesses, its capacity to overwhelm its opponent with great speed or powerful attacks, its newfound potential\u00a0for learning new, more effective techniques. Having a strong, fully-evolved Pok\u00e9mon in a trainer’s team\u00a0is a great boon for them, and can greatly help them turn the tide of a losing battle in their favor. For that reason, the numerous, fully-evolved\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon Ash has\u00a0befriended\u00a0throughout the Pok\u00e9mon anime run are held with great regard by fans of the franchise.<\/p>\n

Still, and even among Ash’s elite Pok\u00e9mon, Greninja manages to stand out for its unique ability to use a strong buff dubbed ‘Ash-Greninja’ that exemplifies the strong bond Ash has with his partner\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon. This places his Greninja in the same ballpark as the mighty Mega-Evolved\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon, introduced in the XY<\/em>\u00a0season, in terms of strength.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>How Did Ash Get His Greninja?<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

From an early age, Froakie displayed a flair for fighting. The little frog would regularly leave the other Froakie\u00a0to play while it trained by itself. This tendency later proved dangerous as it provoked its peers to\u00a0attack it\u00a0and\u00a0its injuries placed it in\u00a0the\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon hospital. Professor Sycamore grabbed Froakie after it healed and tried to offer it as a starter\u00a0to aspiring trainers several times. However, the obstinate Pok\u00e9mon\u00a0always rebelled after they don’t prove themselves\u00a0worthy to\u00a0it. It only agreed to become Ash’s partner after he showed\u00a0passion and compassion.<\/p>\n

From here on,\u00a0Froakie and its trainer\u00a0went through trial after trial where their resolve\u00a0was\u00a0tested and bonds tightened.\u00a0This culminated with Frogadier’s evolution to Greninja and\u00a0the\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon’s use of the synergistic form mentioned earlier to defeat Bisharp. Greninja’s power, and its\u00a0novel\u00a0form, were the driving force\u00a0behind getting Ash the 8 badges needed to\u00a0qualify\u00a0for the Kalos League and was the centerpiece in\u00a0his strategy to get to the finals. Greninja also happens to be the strongest Water-type\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon Ash has ever caught.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Which Is Ash’s Strongest Grass-Type\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon?<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Each\u00a0of Ash’s Grass\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon<\/a> had a unique quality going for it. Bulbasaur was\u00a0super versatile, Bayleef utilized its weight as well its ability for distant attacks, Torterra was a bulky juggernaut, Leavanny\u00a0could use\u00a0Bug-type moves. But Sceptile managed to be the most memorable due to its high speed and effective, and cool, attacks that greatly helped Ash during the third season league. Its victory against Blazekin\u00a0also highlights how effective Ash’s training was even against a higher-level Pok\u00e9mon.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Which Is Ash’s Strongest Fire-Type\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon?<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The competition in this category is fierce! Ash partnered with\u00a0several spectacular Fire-type\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon<\/a> throughout the series. Infernape was a ferocious Fighter\/Fire hybrid that earned Ash his victory against Paul, his nemesis in the Sinnoh league. Incineroar evolved from Torracat after securing the victory for Ash against Kukui.<\/p>\n

Charizard is one of the most popular\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon in the entire franchise, and one of the\u00a0biggest contributors to Ash’s victory in the Orange league. In a direct confrontation, Charizard\u00a0beat the other\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon because of\u00a0its Flying-type, but it could be argued that Infernape has the most effective combination of moveset and stats. Once Mega-Evolution is taken into consideration, however, Charizard takes the lead by a\u00a0wide margin.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Which Is Ash’s Strongest Electric-Type\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon?<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

This is where the mascot of the franchise, and the most popular\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon of all, makes its sparkling entry! Pikachu is the first\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon Ash got, and the one that stayed with him the longest. It has raked up the highest number of wins among all of Ash’s\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon and is, presumably, the trainer’s highest level\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon. Other\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon Ash owned could learn Electric-type moves<\/a>, including Naganadel\u00a0and other Dragon-type Pok\u00e9mon, but they never used them as effectively and as reliably\u00a0as the yellow electric rodent.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Which Is Ash’s Strongest Dragon-Type\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon?<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Ash caught his first Dragon-type Pok\u00e9mon as late as the fourth season, so the trainer is somewhat green when it comes\u00a0to training these\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon, especially considering how difficult this type is to train.\u00a0But along came the XY<\/em> season and it showed that Ash is more than capable when dealing with this powerful type. Noivern and Goodra were both incredibly\u00a0strong, and their relationship with Ash was tight and heartwarming. Goodra is a Psuedo-Legendary Pok\u00e9mon and is one of the toughest high-defense dragons in the game.<\/p>\n

Pok\u00e9mon Journeys<\/em>, the newest season, has\u00a0Ash catching a rare Dragonite early on, so it is yet to be seen whether this\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon will prove itself worthy of the accolades its Dragon-type indicates<\/a>.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Which Is Ash’s Strongest Flying-Type\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon?<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Considering how popular Flying is as a secondary type, it is difficult to answer this question without using specific criteria. Pidgeot, Unfezant, Talonflame, Hawlucha, and Staraptor are\u00a0all tough\u00a0bird\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon<\/a>, with Hawlucha being the standout due to its offensively competent Fighter-Flying combo as well as its unique design. The shiny Noctowl from the Second Generation is, so far, Ash’s only shiny Pok\u00e9mon.<\/p>\n

Looking beyond birds, however, most of these are overshadowed by\u00a0their more powerful peers, with the newly introduced Dragonite\u00a0having\u00a0the most potential to become Ash’s strongest sky-roaming\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Which Is Ash’s Strongest Fighter-Type\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon?<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Going back to the previous category, it is easy to have two different outcomes depending on what criteria are applied when picking the strongest Fighting Pok\u00e9mon<\/a>. Primeape is\u00a0Ash’s only pure Fighter-type\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon. By loosening the restrictions a little bit Hawlucha, Heracross, and Infernape become viable candidates due to their double type. Both Heracross and Infernape can fit the bill considering their sheer power, but with its extreme speed, type-advantage, and all the victories it won, Infernape proves itself worthy of the title.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Which Is Ash’s Strongest Metal-Type\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon?<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Not only did Ash become the Champion of Alola in\u00a0Sun and Moon<\/em>, but he ended up catching his first Mythical Pok\u00e9mon, too. And what a Pok\u00e9mon it is! Melmetal’s physical attack and defense stats are through the roof, and its pure Steel-type can withstand the attacks of more than half the other types. In addition, it was announced that the Pok\u00e9mon will be given a Gigantamax form in the upcoming\u00a0Sword and Shield\u00a0<\/em>expansion, so the already ludicrously potent Pok\u00e9mon will be given an even more titanic boost!<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Which Is Ash’s Strongest Normal-Type\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon?<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Due to its absence throughout most of the series, and its rare presence being relegated to gag character status, many fans forget how crucial Snorlax was in bringing Ash to where he is today. It\u00a0was Ash’s secret weapon during multiple battles in the anime and helped him beat the odds on\u00a0multiple occasions, especially during his match against Gary. Snorlax was also a notorious hurdle to overcome when fighting Ash at the end of the Gen-II games and by far his strongest Pok\u00e9mon. Even in the newer iterations of the game, Snorlax remains a true heavyweight champion.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Which Is Ash’s Strongest Bug-Type\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon?<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Ash didn’t own that many Bug-type Pokemon<\/a>. However, the one he did more than proved themselves worthy of training. Heracross stands out here. It was the closest to being the team’s ace during the third season of the show and is a generally beloved\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon\u00a0in the fanbase. Its Bug-Fighter type is unique and efficient, even if it fails against Flying\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon, and its\u00a0stats lean towards the upper end with decent speed and strong physical attacks.<\/p>\n
