what pokemon appear stronger than they should in the anime?

ashs pikachu of course
mistys togepi/togetic
brocks onix
dawns piplup
mays skitty
ashs bulbasaur/charizard/squirtle
jessies lickitung
whitneys miltank
falkners pidgeot
brandons dusclops
drews masquerain
magikarp(i dont know who it belongs to, it was in a DP episode)
 
Also Drew's Roselia and May's Blaziken when it was a Torchic.
 
It's not that they're particularly strong, it's that the show doesn't follow the rigid rules of the game. Unevolved pokemon have an equal chance of beating an evolved pokemon. It's not because they're uber, it's because that's how it works.

Man, I wish people'd stop saying the anime gets it "wrong".
 
Norman's Slakoth was shown as a very powerful pokemon.
 
Any Pokémon the writers wish to be. Ash's Caterpie vs. Ekans and Koffing, anyone?
 
in a diamond and pearl episode, ash's pikachu should be at lv 70-100 tied with a little elikid, i still dont get it.
 
levels dont seem to exist in the anime. there seems to be no limit to how strong a pokemon can get in the anime. ashs pikachu may be equal to a lv 200 pikachu in the game(if this were possible). maybe pauls elekid was too

Ubersprout... has anyone mentioned him? Ash's Kingler beat Mandy's Exeggcutor pretty easily before evolving too, in its first ever battle no less!
 
May's Squirtle FTW.
(only one I can think of too...)
 
Of course, Levels have been mentioned, but that was back in the Orange Islands. Also, Pikachu has never and I mean never beaten a member of the Electabuzz family. Also Buizel, What kind of Water Pokemon hit by a Volt Tackle head on has the power to break out of a Pokeball.

And in the School of Hard Knocks episode, levels were mentioned..
 
Oh, levels are mentioned a few times, like the one Johto episode with a skiploom in the grass pokemon turnament. And in the anime, smaller, unevolved pokemon have their own strenghts because they are smaller and more agile, in some cases. Pikachu in the battle with Lt. Surge is a good example
 
Does anyone notice the pattern here? All the overly strong pokemon that have been mentioned belong to the main characters of the show. So you can basically say that, in theory, any pokemon belonging to a main character will be overly strong, am I right?

Wrong.
Wobbuffet is SEVEARLY powered-down. You may disagree, but I consider TR main characters.
 
Even so, Staravia is incredibly weak. Has it even won a single battle?
EDIT: other than Cherubi?
