Rank Gary's Pokemon

[BabaVanga]

Inspired by @shoz999 thread about Paul's Pokemon, I thought it's time to rate another memorable rival's team. How would you rank Gary's Pokemon?

Really the only memorable Pokemon he had were Blastoise Electivire and Umbreon. Gary imo was a bad rival in terms of story which sucks coz his character was so great, especially in contrast to ash. Him defeating ash after he came back from the battle frontier imo was pure bs and kinda undid the whole Johto climax

The only memorable Pokemon that Shigeru owned from my perspective was Blacky since we saw it from the time it was still an Eievui. I personally thought that Kamex was pretty decent as well, but its debut happened too late in the series for me to care.

Arcanine, Nidoking, Blastoise, Electivire > Nidoqueen, Magmar, Golem, Umbreon > Scizor, Dodrio & the other reserved Pokemon Gary had.

Remind me what did Arcanine ever do that was worth noting other than jobbing to Mewtwo?

Shigeru's Windie defeated Sakaki's Kingler despite being at a type disadvantage, and it also did well in the Extreme Pokemon Race by coming in second place.

So one win and that's all? I dunno I don't find that very noteworthy so Arcanine doesn't deserve such high compliments IMO.

It was just one win as far as I can recall, but you also have to remember that Shigeru's Windie only got a few appearances in OS to begin with. So it having one win and I believe one loss isn't that bad of a record considering the circumstances.

None of his Pokémon really have a personality so I guess based on strength?

Blastoise>Umbreon/Electivire>anything else (I don’t remember anything else)

I have a hard time deciding who was stronger, Blacky or Elekible. Both defeated Pikachu at one point so I think that they're pretty much equal, although Elekible probably gets points for being bigger and physically intimidating.

His strongest Pokemon hands down is Blastoise but my favourite one among his whole collection is Nidoking because it looks tough and I remember how he used it at the Viridian gym.

It's ironic that Nidoking defeated Sakaki's Golonya, yet lost to another Golonya at the Sekiei League. I was also letdown that it never got redeemed or used during the Jouto League when Satoshi faced Shigeru.

I didn't even remember that. I'll have another look at the old Kanto episodes but I considered Nidoking to be one of Gary's aces until Blastoise got revealed.
