Most Powerful Legendary Pokemon In Pokemon Legends Arceus. There’s a lot to say about Pokémon Legends: Arceus (and we’ve already said a lot), but it’s not surprising that some players are already trying to figure out who the game’s most powerful Pokémon is.
In that regard, it must first be stated that the concept of “strongest” or “most powerful” in this context is impossible to define with absolute clarity. While certain Pokémon are clearly more powerful than others (in a fair fight, Arceus will defeat Magikarp), factors such as Type weaknesses, team compositions, and special combat scenarios will still influence the bulk of encounters. If you put together a party of Legendary Pokémon with high overall numbers, you’ll definitely perform fine, but it’s not the only (or always the best) choice.
As a result, we’ll instead discuss a Pokémon’s numerous stats in order to give you a clearer notion of where they rank on the relative power scale in comparison to other Pokémon. These figures should give you a general notion of how one Pokémon compares to another. They aren’t a tier ranking or a guide to building the greatest overall squad, but they should give you a general idea of how one Pokémon compares to another.
Please keep in mind that this breakdown excludes Alpha Pokémon. While Alpha Pokémon are always more strong than their base forms, I haven’t been able to find any trustworthy data on their exact statistics. We’ll make sure to update this article if that changes (or if any Pokémon’s stats alter in any significant way).

Pokémon Legends: Arceus – Which Pokémon Have the Highest Total Stats?
As a result, it should come as no surprise that many of Arceus’ most powerful Pokémon are legendaries. The majority of the Pokémon on this list of the ten with the highest total stats are legendaries:
- Arceus – 720
- Dialga – 680
- Palkia – 680
- Giratina Origin – 680
- Giratina Altered – 680
- Regigigas – 670
- Hisuian Goodra – 600
- Garchomp – 600
- Heatran – 600
- Cresselia – 600
There are a few more Pokémon with similar stats, but legendaries make up the majority of those in the 600 stat club (or higher). Garchomp and Manaphy are notable exceptions to this rule.
While you should never form your party solely based on total stats, the fact that many of the Pokémon with the highest stats in Arceus can’t be caught until after you’ve completed the main storey should serve as a reminder that you won’t be able to rely on most of the Pokémon listed above for the majority of your adventure.
In terms of non-Legendary Pokémon with high total stats, here are a few prominent examples:
- Ursaluna – 550
- Togekiss – 545
- Snorlax – 540
- Gyarados – 540
- Blissey – 540
- Magmortar – 540
- Electivire – 540
- Crobat – 535
- Tangrowth – 535
- Magnezone – 535
- Infernape – 534
Pokémon Legends: Arceus – Which Pokémon Have the Highest Hit Point Stats?
HP is obviously a valuable stat, therefore it’s wonderful to see that some of the Pokémon with the highest stat pools are very easy to obtain (at least in comparison to Legendary Pokémon).
- Blissey – 255
- Chansey – 250
- Snorlax – 160
- Drifblim – 150
- Giratina – 150
- Munchlax -135
- Vaporeon -130
- Ursaluna – 130
- Basculegion -120
- Cresselia -120
While Blissey and Chansey are comically well ahead of the pack in this category, you surely have plenty of options if you’re trying to add a few to your party.
Pokémon Legends: Arceus – Which Pokémon Have the Highest Attack Power and Special Attack Power Stats?
While Legendary Pokémon dominate the overall stats category, the top ten list of Pokémon with the highest total Attack Power has a little more variety.
- Rampardos – 165
- Regigigas – 160
- Landorus Therian – 145
- Ursaluna – 140
- Rhyperior – 140
- Kleavor – 135
- Garchomp – 130
- Mamoswine – 130
- Flareon – 130
- Sneasler – 130
There are a lot of other Pokémon with attack strength in the “130” range, but as you can see, attack power is dispersed more evenly over a wider spectrum of Pokémon. It’s a little easier to focus on that stat throughout the game if you’re hunting for Pokémon with the absolute highest attack power for any reason.
This is what the top of the list looks like in terms of Special Attack Power:
- Dialga -150
- Palkia – 150
- Thundurus Therian – 145
- Enamorus – 135
- Darkrai – 135
- Porygon-Z – 135
- Alakazam – 135
- Heatran – 130
- Magnezone – 130
- Espeon – 130
There are a few more Pokémon with 125-130 Special Attack Power, but as you can see, there aren’t many Pokémon with top-tier Attack Power and top-tier Special Attack Power. Only a few Legendary Pokémon have extremely high and evenly distributed numbers in both categories (such as Arceus who has a 120 rating for both).
Pokémon Legends: Arceus – Which Pokémon Have the Highest Defense Stats?
When we talk about a Pokémon’s defence, we’re referring to its physical defence as well as their resistance to special attacks. The Pokémon with the greatest physical defence stats are as follows:
- Steelix – 200Hisuian Avalugg – 184
- Bastiodon -168
- Onix – 160
- Probopass – 145
- Dusknoir – 135
- Nosepass – 135
- Rhyperior – 130
- Golem -130
- Leafeon – 130
The Pokémon with the best special defence are as follows:
- Probopass -150
- Hisuian Goodra – 150
- Mantine – 140
- Bastiodon – 138
- Dusknoir – 135
- Blissey – 135
- Uxie – 130
- Dusclops – 130
- Cresselia – 130
- Umbreon – 130
The first thing you undoubtedly noticed is that Probopass, Bastiodon, and Dusknoir have great physical and special defences. A few more Pokémon farther down the list also benefit from approximately equal figures in both of those important categories. It is not technically necessary to have Pokémon with excellent defensive numbers in both areas on your roster, but it is clearly advantageous.
Pokémon Legends: Arceus – Which Pokémon Have the Highest Speed Stats?
In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, the Speed stat is a little strange.
In theory, it aids in determining the fight sequence’s order. While a Pokémon with a faster Speed than its opponent should be able to attack first, this does not always appear to be the case. Instead, it appears that assault order is determined by a mix of factors, including sneak attacks and possibly some chance. Stacking your party with “quick” Pokémon can theoretically boost your odds of early attacks, but the effectiveness of this tactic is debatable.
Regardless, here’s a list of some of the game’s quickest Pokémon:
- Hisuian Electrode – 150
- Jolteon – 130
- Crobat – 130
- Shaymin Sky – 127
- Darkrai – 125
- Weavile – 125
- Tornadus Therian – 121
- Arceus – 120
- Origin Palkia – 120
- Alakazam – 120
Pokémon Legends: Arceus – Every Pokémon’s Complete Stats
Finally, here’s a list of every Pokémon in Arceus (ordered by Pokedex number) along with their current known stats in each of the six primary categories (as well as their total stats).
The stats have been separated by commas and are displayed in the following order to make this information as understandable as possible:
Attack, Special Attack, Defense, Special Defense, and Speed are all total stats.
