Top 10 Best Ash Ketchum Pokémon

I want to stress that the anime isn't faithful to the game logic when it comes to attacks through effects, advantages and disadvantages in some cases, and the power of the script weighs in many decisions of the course of the stories. Of course, in some moments, these points are spot on and bring wonderful joyful experiences, be it for the nostalgia or the development of a character.

This list is based on logic and, in my personal view, it is not absolute truth – especially since the theme is quite subjective. In case you have a different opinion, we can talk about it in the comment section!

5º) Infernape

With that, Ash felt empathetic with his new friend and decided to adopt it into his team, as he had done with Charmander, and in a certain way, Chimchar always had resentment for Paul in all its life, even after receiving Ash's love, and it wanted at all costs to show it was better and that Paul would regret having underestimated and humiliated it, besides proving that it was stronger than its training rival, Elekid, which would eventually evolve to Electivire, just like Chimchar to Infernape.

So, during Sinooh's Championship, at the quarter-finals, it came the moment in which every Pokémon fan got chills . Infernape showed its pain, suffering, resentment and brought its immeasurable power, hard work and Ash's love which made it one of the best Pokémon he has had in his whole life.

And there's more! In Episode 68 of the Galar arc, in "Pokémon Journeys" , Gary was going back to Kanto, and he met Ash and Go once more as they were doing local research regarding the apparition of a possible Moltres in town, and Infernape went after him to challenge him, so it could refine itself in the fire archetype (even though it didn't win, it was an experience).

4º) Charizard

Gradually, Charizard started to respect Ash more, becoming one of the greatest Pokémon in his team in the three classic arcs (from the Indigo Era).

Its redemption with maturity was achieved in two moments: when it goes training in Charicific Valley , which was a nest for Charizard species and in the Johto Championship battle, in which Charizard faces Gary's Blastoise in a much awaited for battle by fans in which Ash has his mature battle against his rival, and even with a type disadvantage, it won.

Indigo League - Blaine VS Ash

Charizard met Legendaries such as Mewtwo, Lugia, Moltres, Zapdos, Articuno and a fake ), and it has in its curriculum the fight against Noland's Articuno, another Frontier Brain in Hoenn, in which even though it had its wing frozen and had a type disadvantage due to the flying and ice type (even though fire has advantage over ice), Charizard had an excellent battle against a legendary, guaranteeing the victory.

Besides a few key participations in some episodes such as in Diamond/Pearl against Flint's Infernape, and a few apparitions in Black/White , it shows up in some cameos in the series, which bring back the importance of this Pokémon, besides it, Infernape and other fire Pokémon helping Ash's Gengar learn ) Greninja

It's with this Pokémon that Ash had a connection so strong that it rivaled its intimacy with Pikachu, in which Greninja had its own special and unique ) Lucario
