Pokemon GO continues to be a highly celebrated game, as more fans try to be "the very best." And while the hype is real and kicking, Niantic is looking to up the ante with the release of Gen 2 monsters. Although its release date remains unknown, it sure will introduce lots of new Pokemon to capture. Speaking of which, here are the top 5 most powerful creatures players can own as soon as the upcoming update arrives.

Pokemon GO Blastoise

Blastoise, also known as Kamex in Japan lingo, is surely a popular creature that almost all Pokemon GO players want to acquire. This creature is not only deadly when it comes to offense, but its defensive stat is also a formidable force to reckon. Equipped with the powerful Water Gun and Hydro Pump, there is no doubt that a trainer would do everything that is needed to own such a Pokemon.

Pokemon GO Arcanine

If there is a list of favorite Pokemon GO creatures, Arcanine will surely make it to the top. To maximize this Pokemon in gym battles, it would be best to utilize its Fire Fang and Fire Blast special moves. For trainers who have a good number of Growlithes with them, this specie is the best bet.

Pokemon GO Lapras

Considered as the one of the strongest water-type creatures, Lapras is definitely a must-have in Pokemon GO. And make no mistake, this Pokemon is among creatures in the Legendary halls along with Dragonite. For those who want to capture such a remarkable creature, here is a guide to check out.

Pokemon GO Zapdos

Zapdos is deemed as one of the Legendary Bird creatures in the upcoming Pokemon GO Gen 2 update. And for any Team Instinct member, they should know by now that this Pokemon holds their flags. Out of the 3, it is the strongest. This is most especially with Articuno having the lowest attack.

Pokemon GO Honorable Mentions

Alright, before we go straight to the number one in this Pokemon GO list, there are a couple of creatures that are worth mentioning. Firstly, it is no other than Dragonite, a specie that boasts high CP ratings. In fact, it has the second highest stats among creatures in the game. For players battling gyms with Dragonite, they better be equipped with good amount of luck.

Moving forward, Moltres should also be worth mentioning as one of the strongest Pokemon GO creatures. It is best described in Team Valor's logo, being one of the Legendary Bird Pokemon. And in any given battle, it has very high chances of winning.

And now, the number one. (Drum roll, please).

Pokemon GO Mewtwo

Now, completing this Pokemon GO list is no other than Mewtwo. If there is a badass Pokemon, it should be this creature. And whoever owns it after the Gen 2 update arrives, that trainer will surely be unstoppable. Mewtwo is a psychic-type Pokemon, one that has the ability to speak English (as what the anime projects). And yes, he has the highest CP in the game so far.
