We've compiled a list of the rarest Pokémon among Ash's ranks.
One of the most important premises of the Pokémon anime, definitely, is to capture all these creatures and complete the PokédexObviously, this won't be an easy task, as many of these are elusive and rare. However, throughout the series, we've seen that Ash Ketchum has managed to catch many of these powerful and charismatic characters.
Ash's list of Pokémon is quite extensive. However, We can also highlight some quite rare and peculiar Pokémon.It's important to note that the concept of rare is subjective and often depends on the information provided by the Pokédex. So, sticking to that, we've compiled some of Ash's rarest Pokémon in the franchise.
goodra
Ash trapped Goomy in the Kalos region. Later, this would evolve into Goddra, becoming strong enough to defeat Florges. It was here when Ash decided that it was best to let him go so that he could become the protector of his species against future threats. However, we have seen him return to Ash's team for certain battles. AND One of the main characteristics of Goodra is that it is a pseudo-legendary Pokémonso both he and his pre-evolution are quite difficult to capture and do not usually appear much before the trainers.
Greninja
This Pokémon is also quite particular, as Ash captured it in its pre-evolved form, Froakie. Since then, both the young man and the Pokémon worked hard to become stronger, which served to develop the relationship between these characters, thus obtaining a special type of evolution, the phenomenon lasso, and so he became this Greninja that we know and who tries to be a bit like Ash. The main disadvantage of this type of evolution is that Ash feels the pain of his Pokémon in battle. In the end, the trainer left him in Kalos.
Lucario
When Ash was fighting during the events of the World Championship, this trainer's aura resonated with the new Riolu, causing it to hatch. Later, he evolved into Lucario while Ash faced Rose. But that's not all, since This Pokémon became the first trainer to be able to use Mega Evolution with the help of Corina. It's also important to note that Riolu is a Pokémon that can be obtained through eggs in the video game franchise and has a very low chance of appearing to trainers, so it remains one of Ash's rarest Pokémon.
Pikachu
Pikachu itself is not a rare Pokémon, but Ash's is. And it is that This has proven to be much stronger than others of its kind. Not to mention that, to date, it has not evolved in Raichu. But that's not all, because we have also seen that he has the Gigantamax ability, making him an even rarer specimen than he already was.
In the series we have seen that Ash He has come across a lot of quite varied Pikachubut yours is still much more special and unique.
Noctowl
Ash's Noctowl is quite common and easy to find in the nature of this world. In fact, it is very common to see it in Johto. However, Ash's Pokémon is characterized by being a “shiny” variant, which means that it has a completely different color scheme than other Pokémon of its species.
When Ash encountered this Pokémon, the probability of encountering a “shiny” version was 1 in 8,192, which is why most players and coaches have never encountered one. Also, this one is a little smaller than the other Noctowls. And considering all these factors, then we can affirm that it is the rarest Pokémon in Ash's ranks, surpassing even the pseudo-legendaries.
