How to make an ultimate weapon: Want the fastest and strongest Pokemon ever? You need Poliwrath. This strategy is called Beliwrath, and here's how it works.

Poliwrath needs a moveset of Belly Drum, Substitute, Brick Break, and either Rock Slide or HP Ghost (I prefer ghost personally). He must be holding a salac berry. Your HP also needs to be divisible by 4 (this can be done by adjusting EVs).

Poliwrath needs to be switched in on an enemy water Pokemon who you know has nothing but water and ice moves while your enemy is using a water or ice attack. Water Absorb will mean you take no damage to a surf or other powerful water attack and 4X Ice Resistance will be practically no damage.

Your enemy will switch out (they'll have no choice) while you use substitute. Your enemy's next Pokemon will be supereffective against you, and while they attack you you will use bellydrum, taking away 50% of your max HP in addition to the 25% already lost by using substitute. This maximizes your attack power and automatically activates the salac berry boosting your speed to higher than nearly any Pokemon in the game. You suddenly have an extremely fast maxed attack Pokemon that can kill nearly anything except the super defensive waters in 1 hit.

Destiny Bond or Counter/Mirror Coat could really mess these tactics though :/


Mirror Coat only effects special attacks. Counter is the one for physicals, and with maxed attack Poliwrath one-hits everything with a counter move (nullifying the counter). Destiny Bond only goes first if you're faster, and if I just ate a salac berry that's very unlikely. The only thing that would survive a hit from that Poliwrath that has counter is Wobbufett, and he's banned from competitive play as an uber.

Another extremely powerful Pokemon now that Diamond and Pearl has separated Special and Physical attacks for all types is Gengar. STAB Shadow Ball will kill anything in 1 hit without godly special defense, Psychic and Thunderbolt cover remaining types very well. Hypnosis is a decent backup (though a gamble at only 60% acc.).

If you want RAW physical power, nothing beats Choice Band Tyranitar.  Choice Band doubles your attack but limits you to only one move (until you switch out).  With enough speed EVs Tyranitar will oustpeed all the medium speed Pokemon and has enough defense to avoid an OHKO from anything but a powerful fighting move, but with Crunch, Earthquake, Stone Edge, and Pursuit will OHKO pretty much everything in the game with ease.  That said, he probably won't live forever, and the fact that he brews up sandstorms can be trouble unless you have a team built around sandstorm (in which case it's a great strategy).

I thought Destiny Bond always goes first, my bad. A Rhyperior / Slaking / Lucario might be able to endure the hit.



Feraligator FTW! Water beats rock and fire. Ice beats grass, Earthquake slaughters electric.

Other than mewtwo, a normal type pokemon known as ditto, level 100 would rape.



 

mM

If you mean the strongest Pokemon by combined stats then Arceus is the strongest legendary and Slaking is the strongest non legendary.
