- Debuting in Japan in 1996 as Pocket Monsters Red and Green and reaching Western shores by 1998 as Pokémon Red and Blue, this role-playing series about catching creatures with fabulous powers and then making them beat each other up quickly became a pop culture sensation, and it has enjoyed a level of success unmatched by any other video game franchise before or since. For this countdown, we’ve ranked all 151 original entries in the Kanto Pokédex based on their abilities in battle, rareness, easiness to catch, and their popularity in the gaming world and beyond. We’re basing our assessments on their stats and abilities in those original games, so any increases or decreases in power they may have suffered in future instalments will not be taken into account. Here are All 151 1st Gen Pokémon Ranked From WORST To BEST.

Just how off the mark were we? Where did your favourite rank? Who do you think should've hit the number 1 spot? Let us know!
What the hell was that theme song 😂😂❤ amazing happy 2024 everyone
Seeing Metapod and Kahuna not arrive before Pokemon that can actually attack was crazy. Crazy!
Well with Alakazam-line you absolutely got all wrong. It's oftten considered the 2nd best Pokemon after Mewtwo in Gen 1. Psychic is the most overpowered thing in gen 1 because there are no counters. Ghost types in Gen 1 are also poison types and psychics are super effective against those.
I'm pretty sure you made this list to "drive" lots of "engagement" from Pokemon fanatics.
Want to top 1M comments on your video? Say something wrong about Pokemon on UA-cam!
Considering any Pokemon above Mewtwo in Gen 1 is the epitome of clueless about a game.
"This list is based on each Pokemon's usefulness in Gen one only"
*Proceeds to use the Gen 3 stats to determine usefulness* 😂
Came here to say this also! There were a lot of inaccuracies, not only showing stats, but also in type effectiveness
And they acted like the special stats just did not exist@@TheMechaMessiah
Big oof lol
It's crazy to have the guts to make this video and have no idea what the Special and Speed stats mean to Gen I.
I'm convinced the writer of this list has never played a gen 1 game in their life. 😬😬
When 2 of the best sweepers in the game are lower than Zubat. 😂
Yeah he acted like the special stats just did not exist thus putting alakhazam Really low on the list and even portraying it as particularly weak when actually in Gen 1 it was by far one of the strongest Pokemon able to dominate even several of the legendaries
Their staff and presenters are too young to have actually played them on release. Like most lists at Triple Jump, they form opinions based on a timeline in which they didn't exist.
"Rhyhorn has no weaknesses."
Yeah, my halfway competent Water type absolutely disagrees.
We ought to have this video acted like the special stats did not exist and failed to acknowledge Pokemon with low special defense though if they're using gen 1 stats it would be combined to one special stat which should cause certain Pokemon to be much higher on the list such as the Abra Line
I love Triple Jump, but this was painful 😂
There is no way Alakazam and Kadabra are so low, especially with psychic being so overpowered in gen 1
When you see Alakazam, but you have a shitty Kadabra, it feels worthless. And when you learn you have to trade for that mon, it all feels crappy.
Yeah, it’s clearly not a list based on power. Kadabra itself is a champ.
About half way through the video I realized they're ignoring Special completely. It's a fact, Alakazam and Chansey would be bad in a game where all attacks are physical.
They're using Fire Red / Leaf Green stats, which split Special into Special Attack and Special Defense.
When Special was both Attack and Defense yes Alakazam was top tier.
@@Siferatu I think they're ignoring Special entirely. They said Rapidash has powerful Fire moved that hit extra hard due to its high Attack stat. That's false even after the Special Attack/Defense split.
Chansey, even after the split, is a Special wall, and Alakazam is shredding anything without decent Special Defense with STAB Psychic.
Chansey and Alakazam are nerfed in Gen 2 onward, but not bottom 25 nerfed! The only way Paras beats Alakazam is if you ignore Special entirely and ignore that Paras leans no offensive Bug moves in Gen 1.
This is the weirdest ranking of the 1st Gen Pokémon I've seen.
The entire list acted like the special stats didn't exist at all and that only the physical stats exist in matter thus causing weak pokemon with a mediocre physical stat to somehow be ranked higher than pokemon with a massive special stat
Dude really said the entire alakazam line is worse than a goldfish
Is this list an early April Fools Joke? 😅😂😂😂😂
Did he just say rattata was stronger then kadabra In the gen 1 games
Not only that, he also said both Oddish & Bellsprout are better than Alakazam.
That is absurd
They ignored Speed and Special when making their list. This is why they put Alakazam super low on the list but Rhydon super high (and erroneously claimed that Dragonite has higher stats than Mewtwo). They only looked at HP and physical stats.
18:02 Um, what? Alakazam is one of the best Mons in the game. It has wicked high Special and being weak to only Bug Type in Gen 1 means it's not weak to anything. Anyone who watches Jrose 11's single Pokemon playthroughs knows Alakazam is ranked #2 just behind Mewtwo. Gen 1 Psychic is OP, and Alakazam is the best Psychic Type you can get more than 1 of.
There's a reason your Rival has an Alakazam in his party, because it's a very difficult Mon to deal with, especially if you don't outspeed.
You mean Alakazam/psychic types only weak against bug ?!
3rd & 4th gen psychic is worst against well trained (PvP) or higher level ghost, bug & dark type Pokemon or PP moves . Then again I'm not doubting your favorite choice because I used to clone TM's and used certain TM's that can be learn on my pokemons to defeat the opposite strength Pokemon's.
If you didn't know certain water types (not the ground & water) can learn earthquake against none flying electric types, grass & poison types and steel types.
@@pot_of_greed2414 sure, Psychic got nerfed in Gen 2 with the intro of Dark type and a few stronger Ghost and Bug Type moves. But in gen 1, Psychic was immune to Ghost (programming error) and the strongest Bug type move was Pin Missile, a move only learned by Beedrill and Jolteon, the latter not even getting STAB with it.
Psychic in Gen 1 had virtually no weaknesses.
Did your writer never play pokemon or something?
32:33 Ony effective against itself? Psychic is super effective against Fighting and Poison, the most common type in the game. Gen 1 Psychic is OP.
He got Psychic confused with Ghost.
TripleJump, check on your writers.
Not to mention they said Fairy type got introduced in 2nd generation
Kadabra ranks lower than Zubat? Are you off your meds?
I think they are just smart and knew that would get the video a ton of interaction. 500 comments and probably 450 are yelling about Kadabra and Alakazam being g that Low!
How is Ghastly so low? it's one of the most powerful unevolved pokemon there are
The whole list is messed up lmao
That one is bad, but I already knew the list was going to be fucked up when I looked ahead and saw Mewtwo wasn't number 1. If you don't have Mewtwo as number 1 in Gen 1, you have absolutely no idea of what you're talking about.
@@randumo24 it's not just based on how powerful a pokemon is.
Considering you can only get mewtwo in the post game it makes little sense putting it at number one.
But yes, the list is completely screwed up - so many placements make no sense 😂
What are you talking about ! Ghastly is a poison & ghost type and the worst against psychic, dark, bug, ghost and ground type Pokemon or PP move.
Only way you want to give ghastly a better rating is if you're using special effect pp moves such as : lick, confuse ray, poison gas, hypnosis & dream eater either any of your chosing.
Sorry I never played the gen 1 & 2 at your timeline
@@pot_of_greed2414 Dark didn't existed back in gen 1. Gastly could learn psychic, thunderbolt and mega drain through tm if you didn't wanted to evolve it for some reasons. Placing Gastly below garbage like metapod, kakuna, pidgey, rattata, etc... is inexcusable.
Im usually a fan of your lists. But this is pretty awful. And not just because my favourites weren't where id put them but the fact that geodude massively out ranks alakazam is terrible. Why do you only consider hp, attack and defence? Special and speed are arguably more important stats in this gen.
Ever wondered how the Gen 1 Pokemon would rank if the Special stat didn't exist? Where Alakazam, Chansey, and Jolteon are bottom tier Mons? I've got just the video for you!
Kadabra was OP as heck in Gen 1, why did you make it sound worthless? It's fast and in Gen 1 Special was both attack and defense, and nothing resisted or was immune to the psychic type
Could beat the entire game with him, with a Hypno as a backup.
Yeah, Kadabra and Alakazam are WAYYYYY too low
They completely ignored Speed and Special
Compared to other Gen 1 Pokémon and in R/B/Y? Yes, they’re amazing. Nowadays? Eh… not so much. The modern games makes their strengths these days irrelevant.
Sorry but you got Alakazam absolutely wrong. Psychic is by far the most overpowered thing in Gen 1 aside from Mew & Mewtwo, Alakazam is the strongest Psychic and thus the 3rd strongest Pokemon overall. In fact the only weaknesses it had was Bug (which is laughable) and Ghost which doesn't exist as the only Ghost Pokemon are also Poison which Psychic is super effective against. And in Gen 1 there were hardly any bug or ghost moves either. That plus Special being one stat instead of Special Attack & Special Defend meant that with 120 speed and 135 Special he could kill almost everything with one move.
In fact Alakazam & the Psychic type was so overpowered that for Gen 2 they thad to invent another counter in Dark type.
Kadabra is insanely OP gen 1 you’re off your FACE
They ignored Special entirely. It threw all their stats off.
@@mscottjohnson3424 and speed, seemingly. Wild.
I saw error after error in this video, to the point where I wonder if it was rage bait for engagement.
And I'm helping them with this comment
@@Leppa10 I love these guys, followed them over from the channel which must not be named years ago, it saddens me to see them be just as sloppy as that channel even all these years later
They did that specifically to get a bunch of interaction.
Still really strongly hoping for an "Every Pokemon Game ranked from Worst To Best" video!
SAME! I thought this was that at first glance. AND I'M STILL WAITING!!😠
Funny as hell, as always and I love you for this. 😂
But it needs to be said, the research for this one was not going great. Errors like Fairy Types introduced in Gen 2 (it was Gen 6), the Psychic Type errors, ignoring that there was only one Special Stat and so many attacks were special.
Guys Ghastly was weak against ground types due to the poison type element. Digletts Dig attacks were super effective against Ghastlys Haunters and Gengars. Psychic types were also super effective against them for the same reason. Yes in later gens Ghastlys and Haunters were immune to ground attacks because they were floating same as Magnemites but this is supposed to be from a gen 1 perspective.
Did he forget speed, sp atk & sp def are stats too?
It would appear so
I don’t want to hear that shit for each Pokémon
I never even played a Pokemon game but am I gonna watch 3 hours of this? You betcha.
Hahaha
The issues with this list:
1. Just an all around misunderstanding of Gen 1 pokemon and mechanics.
2. Tries to be both a list based off stats and cultural popularity. Should have chosen one or the other. Given my first point, this should have just been a popularity list.
That said, still liked it. I’m not angry, and I’m sure you all are good dudes. Happy new year!
I appreciate the work put into this list, but yeah I agree with everyone else, no one who actually played gen 1 would rank Alakazam like 30 places lower than Oddish.
Alakazam and Gengar families are the best in the series. Gen1 especially should have the two of them towards the top.
With the Uri Geller thing: It’s not just that the Pokémon looked like him or something like that. Its Japanese name was almost identical to his name in Japanese, with only one character being different. I would say he had a fair case.
Dude lol
Pretty interesting to watch a list like this be so wrong about Pokemon like Abra and Gastly when they’re actually both incredibly powerful in gen 1. Abra particularly.
You don’t think Kingler deserved a Top 10 spot ?
Alakazam that far down? Hold me back…
I love you guys and your content but this list is just so wrong.
Bro really put Pidgey higher than Kadabra or Alakazam.
Ranking butterfree above alakazam is wiiiiiiiild. I'd imagine this list could trigger A LOT of pokemon fans 😂
7:44 It's worse, actually. Ghost was SUPPOSED to be super effective against Psychic in gen 1, but due to one of many, many programming errors in gen 1, it doesn't do any damage to Psychic at all. Not that that even matters, since the only Ghost Type move in the entire game that actually deals Ghost Type damage is Lick, which is incredibly weak.
Wasn't it that all ghost moves were non-damaging or fixed damage?
Gen 1 only had 3 Ghost moves. Confuse Ray is a status move. Night Shade does damage equal to the level of the user (Level 50 deals 50 HP of damage). The only other one is Lick which has a pathetic 20 base power.
@@skystreak1983 True. What I said was Gen 1 only had one move that deals Ghost type damage, and that's Lick. Confuse Ray doesn't deal damage and in Gen 1, all moves that deal a set amout of damage (Night Shade, Dragon Rage, Seismic Toss, Sonic Boom, Super Fang, etc) ignore typing.
So Night Shade can still damage Normal type Pokemon and is not super effective against Ghost type pokemon because despite being a Ghost type move, it doesn't deal Ghost type damage in Gen 1.
The glitch in Gen 1 was that Ghost was supposed to be super effective against Psychic, but by mistake it didn't affect Psychic at all. But you can still damage Psychic pokemon with Night Shade since it doesn't deal Ghost type damage in Gen 1.
The irony of Rhyhorn/Golem and especially Rhydon being so high when I could spill a glass of water near any of them and their health bar would zip out of existence tout suite.
As much as I would have loved to see Raichu higher out of personal bias, I can't argue it. Game Freak loves to shaft it solely because of Pikachu. But Raichu will always be my fave (well, of Gen 1)
I've watched the majority of your "Ranking every..." Lists and I have to say that this is the funniest. Don't know why, but when you said that Clafairy is a "Unit" it really tickled me 😂
Wait... what? Alakazam is like the 2nd best pokemon in the game after Mewtwo.... but its not as good as Staryu? 😅😅😅
Just about to start packing to move house, jumped online hoping for a good video to keep me going and here it is, perfect upload timing, thank you ❤
It is a travesty that Kadabra and Alakazam are so abusivelly low on this list. They are by far the most useful Pokémon combat-wise against most other Gen 1 Pokémon. So disappointing...
You are comic book guy. One minor issue and it’s “Worst list ever”
Ghastly is so good that's its better than some middle state evolutions. And Kadabra?! It only needs Phychic!! With a high special (which is attack and defense) and speed, Kadabras a beast.
I love that you can hear Peter on the verge of laughter whilst he's singing that incredible theme
Content creators were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, that they didn't stop to think if they should.
Whoever made this list has clearly never played Gen 1 Pokemon. Kadabra is crazy overpowered, how is it ranked so low
Yall gotta redo this list sorry. Psychic type is broken in gen 1 and basically has no counter. Even the anime's suggestion of Gastly/haunter didnt work because they're poison secondary types and weak to psychic
Actually in gen 1 games for some reason, ghost type moves werent even super efective against psychic types xd
I love you TripleJump but bro really said grass isnt good against ground type? Lol fun video though.
This was a fun list. Took me back to my Gameboy and pokemon blue. I remember pretty much ranking them all the time with my friends at school lol
Right up my alley. Loved the intro also, great effort all around!
A brand new ranked* video for a brand new year?? Hell yeah! Happy new year everyone! 🎉
I’m not gonna say the list is a mess, just incredibly unspecific as to which Gen 1 we’re talking about. Because the stats you guys use are from at least Fire Red/Leaf Green rather than Red/Blue, and don’t take into account the chaos of Gen 1 spaghetti code.
Still, fun to listen to.
Hey dudes, just wondering why you mention attack and defence but not special, a combo stat, that boosts Pokémon like Ghastly and Kadabra way up. Was there a reason?
Honestly makes it seem like they didn't even know the games at all especially considering they said they were use gen 1 stats only but then throughout the entire video displayed nothing but Gen 3 stats
@@yami122 yeah bit of an odd one. Special is so broken in gen 1 too
I disagree with putting Dugtrio so low, on account of its speed stat and how broken it was using Slash with critical hits in Gen 1.
I was like 8 or 9 when Pokémon first came over here to the west, so this is so nostalgic. Thank you for making this video.
For real. Made me think of everyone in school as kids all talking about who we thought was the best
I feel like this video was put out specifically for me! For a life long fan that is now in their 30s currently working with a hangover on new years day morning because now we are grown ups with bills and responsibilities 😂 thanks for the laughs guys I really needed this to get through the beginning of my day 🤗
Be careful what you wish for :p
Finally, a Pokémon list on Triple Jump. What a great start to 2024
I realized based on what he said about drowzee they clearly confused the psychic and ghost lines. With that said in my mind I’m switching the Gengar and Alakazam lines in this list
1. jigglypuff and mr.mime are also fairy type from gen 1, not only clefairy.
2. fairy type was introduced in gen 6, not 2
3. I'm really questioning the validity of these "facts"
Oh yeah, here we go, Pokémon time! I've watched the Pokémon cartoon before. I've even played a Pokémon game, but I'm still going to watch this with everything I've got!
Far from an expert, or even a big fan, but the Abra and Kadabra were some of my fav go tos. I remember getting the evolving the cocoon one into the butterfly. Then replacing with the psych
Sorry but what gen 2 game where you playing? Cause fairy type weren't introduced until gen 6
I can sense the Gen 2 to present rank list in the works. Happy New Year from the Philippines.
Strapping in for a rollercoaster ride after seeinf Alakazam's placement 😅
Holy shit, they put Chansey, one of the "big 3" that is on literally every single competitive gen 1 team, in the bottom 50? What research was even done?
Question to the guy who does your thumbnails: Why'd you color Red's jacket blue?
1:43:00
Hitmonchan might learn the elemental punches but those are special attacks, not physical. And guess what Hitmonchan's worst stat is...yeah, special. So, why those moves are super effective, since their pulling from Chan's special stat, they end up being worse than a regular move from Hitmonchan. If the pokemon you're fighting is weak to an elemental punch but has strong special defense, it might be better to go with a physical attack instead, double-y so if that pokemon's defense is low.
Nice!!! Great timing!
Alakazam that low? Quite possibly the best mon in gen 1. Wild.
After hours upon hours of triple jump ranking lists, this song is ingrained into my psyche.
If this was a joke video you guys did a great job.
Fire, leaf, and water stones aren't a pain. Just use your honorable mention to multiply nuggets 😂
In dont care what this list says, but the male Nidoran is an absolute must in Yellow to beat Brock, it learns double kick at lvl. 12 and destroys his rock types and with it evolving at lvl. 16 you can basically have a tier 3 pokemon by the time you get to the end if Mt. Moon that can learn a boat load of TMs that can take you through the WHOLE GAME!
I've never had major issues with a list on this, one of my favourite channels, until now. It was a mess. From the lack of taking the Special stat into account at all to putting the Gen 1 world-beater Alakazam in the 130s to putting Starmie (the most versatile Pokémon to have in the original Stadium) at 75. It pains me to say this, but it really doesn't feel like this list reflected the state of the Pokémon as they were in Gen 1.
They don't know what they're talking about, just looking for views/revenue - like most channels
@@MizterColeMiner Can't say I totally agree with that. Just needed to look at all the metrics in play is all.
@@wyzeguy6 they literally said any negative reaction is good for the algorithm and that's what they want
@@MizterColeMiner I'm not debating that commenting has something to do with Al Gore's Rhythms. I'm just starting issues I had with it. That's all.
Congratulations, I guarantee that this list pissed off everyone with even a passing knowledge of Pokémon. There are a lot of questionable choices here but Beedrill not being in the bottom 50 let alone the bottom 20 is utterly insane
You know that I love you guys, but you might want to re-adjust your criteria for this list and come at it again.
Judging Kedabra based on his Attack and Defence stats is madness, literally one of the best easily accessable 1-KO Pokemon in Gen1 ranked below Rattata?
It's quite ironic how psychic these guys were in the intro...
"The comment section will disagree"
Ask them for the lottery numbers next, guaranteed win!
That intro was an assault on my eardrums, keep it up fellas
This list is bonkers... Absolutely, without a doubt, the craziest mixed up mess I've ever seen triplejump post... I am really confused as to what they were taking when they made this list.
And if this is supposed to be a list for the first 3 games why are they showing the special atk/def split stats as that wasn't the case in that generation!
You also know that Grass is super effective against Ground, right? Right?
Thank you Triple Jump, very cool! 😎
When Alakazam is in the bottom half of the list and not in the top 10, you immediately lost my interest.
Any Pokemon tier list that puts *Alakazam* -
the Alakazam that helped break the gen 1 games, that became a staple one-shot sweeper in the gen 2 games (thank you Psychic and the elemental punches), and that remained an incredibly respectable glass canon in every subsequent generation it appeared in (especially once it got a mega evolution and some solid attack type diversity)
- at *137* out of 151 is one that seems to seriously misunderstand how Pokemon works. Below Nidoran? Below Pidgey?? But I like listening to you guys comment on each of the mons, so I'll drink to that at least. Cheers! 👍
I enjoyed the pacing and the script very much. This is a very strange list with numerous inaccuracies and oversights
Edit: this is still the best Kanto ranking tier list for me, because the other lists I’ve found are even more wild with their criteria and/or base ranking on like “general vibe”.
But just be aware that Rhydon goes down to a single surf like 80% of the time, and a level 50 Alakazam can take down most of the elite four with psychic
What a way to start 2024, a massive video while I bin all the cans from Hogmanay. Have an awesome 2024 everyone
As fun as watching TJs list, its talking about highly debatable lists such as these.
By no means they could've made everyone agree with their script here, but even then some things are REALLY off:
-Alakazam (as well pointed out in the comments already) by no means should be that low. In fact, its the opposite: Its one of the most OP and overused mons on the competitive meta of Gen I due to its having almost no counters alongside offering very good stab (No dark types, the only ghost (Gengar) being OHKOed by it, etc). I advise you all not to try your luck using the rant on 'trading evolutions' while dismissing Scizor on Gen II list 😅
-Chansey: Another commonly used mon on Gen I's meta thats way too low on the list. If rightfully used, can be an almost undefeatable Tank/staller, given how weak Fighting types are on this gen.
--Jynx : Its comprehensible having it low on the list due to its problematic design, but also have in mind that Jynx grants a free pass on beating the dragons of Elite four by being the fastest ice attacker of the game. So, all and all, its still offers a good reward for its owners gameplay wise.
- Jolteon: Should be higher, or at least better than the other eeveelutions. The argument on the script was about its supposedly poor movelist, but its the 2nd fastest mon with THUNDER we're talking about, and it learns the move at a relatively low lvl. Not an uncommon choice on meta due to its stab, unlike (per say) gen I Flareon.
-Mewtwo: Should be nº1. The most powerful mon from the most OP type of the game.
On opposite, mons that could/should be lower: Lickitung, Geodude's entire evolution line, Onix, Magmar, Wigglytuff
All things considered, list should've settled itself on mon popularity instead on trying to get a hold on both popularity+Meta and failing on it since one tends to contradict another.
Said all that, list was entertaining, tho. ;)
This is a decidedly weird list
Diglett is useful. It learns dig which is a free reusable escape rope.
What better way to start the year of 2024 than watching an almost 3 hour ranking of all of the original 151 Pokémon?
Now you have to do each generation by themselves and then make a HUGE list ranking all the Pokemon at that time
What was up with Peter in Doduos entry? He sounded a little off. Apart from that I’m loving the list so far 😊 Pokémon was my first game so was awesome to see this come up
Well. Now this is going to become a thing and I'm looking forward to all the johto sinnoh etc region Pokemon ranked
The list makes a lot more sense once you realize that 1) Ben seems to be the only person on Triple Jump who plays/played Pokemon and 2) he’s probably the worst Pokémon player I’ve ever seen.
Go to the VOD channel and watch him play a Pokémon ROM hack. It’s equal parts hilarious and painful if you know anything about Pokémon.
I am confused how Triple Jump did such a horrible job on this list. No one along the way said, "Hey, this might not be right."
I came for the list, I stayed for the comments.
Absolutely bonkers list. Alakazam below Nidoran? What?
I like to think Doduo can learn fly because it spins its two heads in rapid circles to create a helicopter effect and its terrifying
Please do every single pokemon game ranked from worst to best.
No hate from me guys. This is fun. Insanely wrong on multiple levels, such as ignoring the Special stat, Speed stat effecting Crit chance, how some types where just broken & so on.
I'm not even a Alakazam fan, but its basically the best Pokémon in the original game after Mewtwo.
But still fun. Like listening to your grandma talk about the Pikachu game you used to play on your Nintendo Box. Endearing, rather than frustrating.
I would like to publicly announce that on my first playthrough of Pokemon Blue I used my Master Ball on Magmar.
Thank you. Please roast (no pun intended) me below.
