In Pokémon Emerald, some standout Pokémon are considered the best for various reasons. Rayquaza is a powerful Legendary Pokémon with high stats, versatile moves, and a significant role in the game's storyline.

Salamence, evolving from Shelgon, is praised for its strength and wide movepool. Swampert, the final evolution of Mudkip, is a robust Water/Ground-type Pokémon, offering a good balance of offense and defense. Blaziken, the final form of Torchic, excels in both speed and attack.

These Pokémon are often favored by players for their effectiveness in battles and overall contribution to a successful Pokémon journey in Emerald.
