Pok\u00e9mon Gold and Silver, later remade as HeartGold and SoulSilver, are legendary entries in the series. They took us to the Johto region, then let us revisit the original Kanto map – offering one of the largest adventures in any mainline Pok\u00e9mon game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re heading back to Gen 2 or playing it for the first time, here’s a guide to some of the strongest Pok\u00e9mon you can build your team around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Typhlosion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s start with the Fire-type starter. While Totodile and Chikorita have their merits, Cyndaquil\u2019s final evolution, Typhlosion, is widely considered the strongest overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With high Speed and Special Attack, Typhlosion can quickly knock out opponents before they strike. It’s a reliable and efficient attacker throughout most of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Crobat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Yes, really – Zubat\u2019s final evolution is a top-tier Gen 2 pick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crobat boasts one of the highest Speed stats in the game, letting it outspeed nearly everything. Combine that with Poison\/Flying typing and moves like Cross Poison or Fly, and you\u2019ve got a sneaky MVP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Blissey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Blissey is your go-to tank for soaking up special attacks. It has the highest HP stat in the entire series<\/em> and a very strong Special Defense. It won\u2019t win many fights on its own due to low physical defence and attack, but it\u2019s excellent for switching in, healing the team, or stalling out opponents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Raikou, Entei, or Suicune <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Legendary Beasts are versatile and powerful, and your choice depends on the role you need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
