SHUCKLE MAN
98th
I love all five, my least favorite would be Kingdra, but I still love it. My opinions of each are:
Gyrados-Impressive attack stat (and sp.attk in RBY) and a fairly good movepool to use in conjunction with its stats. It CAN survive Thunderbolts. Ive seen it happen before, and it gets Earthquake to cleverly counter them, which is nice. Sadly the faster electrics with Substitute (Jolteon springs to mind) do cause a little problem.
Snorlax-A Pokemon that is so good that it has earned itself two common titles! Curselax and bellylax. Not that many Pokemon make that much of an achievement. Snorlax's sp.def and HP combination is insane, thus making it a well known Special tank, which has base 110 Attack to work with. Even physical attacks wont harm it that much with 500+ HP.
Kingdra-Probably the worst of the 5, but still very good. Just 1 weakness is nice (especially since Dragon Claw is pretty rare and HP Dragon is on the verge of non-existant on Netbattle). Yeah, sure it is overrated, but ive swept out whole teams with its nice speed and special attack boost from rain dance. Special tanks and Water types cause problems for Kingra as ive discovered and it's movepool does not extend past the average water type's movepool.
Blissey-Here we go. The most common Pokemon ever seen on netbattle. its common cos it is rather good frankly. It is also one of the few cute Pokemon to be used so widely. it has a maximum of 714 HP (highest in the game) and it can survive 8 seismic tosses with leftovers and not faint. Blissey also has a Special defense WELL above average. Special Attacks do so little to Blissey, they practically will not leave a scratch after leftovers recovery. And Blissey learns softoiled, and wish, and ice beam, and calm mind, and aromatherapy, and heal bell, and seismic toss, and counter, and sing, and thunder wave, and toxic, and reflect, and thunderbolt and flamethrower and it has two fantastic abilities. Serene Grace and Natural cure. Its a monster, this, why it is so widely used.
Milotic-It is the highest level Pokemon in the Elite 4 for a reason. it is a beast. It is a good mixed wall. Great Special defense, great defense, recover and only 2 weaknesses, both of which are special and can be countered with Mirror Coat! Milotic is awesome for switching into status conditions as the opponent is rewarding you with double defense! This is when Milotic gets on the verge of unbeatable. Milotic can also actauly put the opponent to sleep which wrecks havoc in competitive play.
Anyways...I am voting for Blissey
