Goku is one of the strongest anime characters of all time. If you’re tired of hearing him compare to Naruto, Luffy, or Saitama, we have good news for you. A fan found it A Pokémon that can beat the protagonist of Dragon Balland as paradoxical as it may be, his theory makes a lot more sense than you think.
Below is @hulkgamerxx’s theory which immediately went viral due to its absurdity. Indeed, the user stated that with proper preparation, Rattata could be one of the few Pokémon that Goku can defeat 100% of the timeprecisely because of his abilities.
Rattata can actually use it two moves that could possibly defeat anyone, Comeback and quick attack. The first ability allows a Pokémon to bring the opponent’s health points to the same level as the user’s, while the second ability is a high priority attack. If Rattata is equipped with Focalnastro, an item that allows the user to stay on HP even after a KO hit, Rattata could withstand a fatal attack and get Goku to HP and then finish him off with a quick attack.
This is a great way to make fun of the paradox of strengths which, as usual, varies depending on the world in which the challenge is taking place. But we want to know which other Pokémon could beat Goku? Let us know in the comments! And for other crossovers between the two souls, don’t miss the opportunity to explore the hidden appearance of Dragon Ball in Pokémon Red and Blue.

Endevor is a Pokémon train that Rattata can learn. By making the effort, the target’s HP will be equal to the user’s current HP, which means that as long as Rattata can perform one of Gokus’ attacks, it can balance their health. pic.twitter.com/wlJWmBoZpJ

The last thing Rattata would need to beat Goku is a focus sash. An item intended to be held by a Pokémon. When it is at full HP, the holder will endure a possible KO attack, leaving 1 HP, which means Rattata can use this to survive a hit from Goku. pic.twitter.com/GZBN9mJUyQ
