Needing this for a RPG table I've just started some weeks ago for the character I'm playing (trainer, obviously).
In short words: Which one(s) do you think are the most bad-ass 'mons?
I'm not asking for preferences or who you think are the most powerful/unbeatable. What I'm looking for, is for a particular definition of "badass", not directly related with power/types but more something to do with outlook and behaviour. Like Bruce Lee, Vegeta, Deadpool, Batman or Bruce Willis kind of badass. For instance: Scyther is a totally badass looking pokemon who will cut you into pieces even with both scythes tied to his back (GNAW THEM TO PIECES!) when he is pissed enough. But also Marowak and Farfetch'd fit the trope I'm looking for; because they are basically the kendo masters of the pokemon world. "Beat the sh*t out of you", in the most literal sense is more akin to what I mean.
The thing is, the character I'm playing is looking to become the best martial artist (sort of) in the pokemon world; by training along his Golduck in both spirit and mind. The joke is that it's a made up school of martial arts (Duck-Fu) and that it has literally nothing to do with the Fighting-Type. He trains all his pokemon to be melee fighters, using the abilities one would expect a pokemon would use if they were main characters of a shonen series*. Basically, I'm playing Mr. Satan Jr. as a pokemon trainer. As a result; his pokemon are optimized in weird ways: elemental punches/tails/fangs/balls are preferred over plain elemental dmg moves; and physical stats are exploited more than status or strategic moves.
Problem being; I only have a short list of the pokemon my trainer would actually train himself (from gen 1 and 2, basically) and the GM asked me a wider pool from where to prepare his random encounters, otherwise I will have already caught all the pokemon I really need in one more session :smallfrown:
All suggestions and commentary of why I should add that pokemon to the list are gladly accepted. My trainer doesn't stick to any type (in fact; I think I got all different types so far, barring Normal). Bonus points if the pokemon suggested has a lot of physical attacks in his moveset (doesn't matter which gen). More bonus points if the pokemon isn't of the Fighting type or at least is dual type. More bonus points if the beast in question was portrayed as being prone to literally beating the shire out of their rivals, while not necessarily being constantly in aggro-mode (even Ash's Charizard was sometimes just lazying around). Anything is valid, cept legendaries, of course. Thanks for any help filling this list
*Like Fury Swipes or Zen Headbutt
Genki is a 13 yrs old boy who was raised by an old lady living amid the forest, totally secluded from all civilization. His goal in life is twofold: find the family that abandoned him and to found the first Duck Fu School for Pokemon and Trainers. His Golduck is his inseparable companion for life; who grew along with him since he was a Psyduck. Golduck is his parental figure. Both their personalities are muscle over brain; and face every problem with the same solution: Justice in a Fist. So far, the first members of the Duck Fu School are:
-A Schyther that enjoys nothing but shredding everything to pieces.
-A Farfetch'd that is apparently the Buddha of Duck Fu
-A gorgeous Dratini that loves spamming Twister for some reason.
-A Magmar (he's kind of duck, right?)
-A Kangaskhan, a Weavile and a Gabite (recently caught on a Safari, not sure whether to keep them)
