Which six of Ashs Unova pokes are strongest? Share your opinion and argue. Pikachu and Charizard do not count.
My opinion is:
1. Pignite: Since his evolution he has defeated an Hydregion, an Heatmor, an Emboar, a Scolipede and a Cryogonal.
2. Krookodile: He was a beast in the Stephan league battle.
3. Leavanny: It dodges really fast and has a strategy for using String Shot to catch things and then hit with a move.
4. Scraggy: It may be a baby but it took Ash to semifinals in the Clubsplosion.
5. Palpitoad: He has shown that he can be a good battler when he took Elesas Zebstrika down.
6. Snivy: She is stronger than Oshawott, Boldore and Unfezant and she has attract.
 
I really can't tell which of his pokemon is the strongest or not. One minute a certain pokemon is like a God and the second, it's reduced down to dust. There is no way of really knowing. And you need to put Oshawott on that list even though you might not think he's strong. He still is one of his pokemon.

But the question asked here was in fact which of Ash's six Unova Pokémon who you considered to be the strongest, so why should Oshawott need to be on it if he doesn't think it's strong?

As for me, I'm having a hard time decide if either Krookodile or Pignite is the strongest out of Ash's Pokémon, though I'll probably go with Pignite as he has lots of impressive wins. That naturally makes Krookodile the second, while I'd probably vote Snivy for the third. Some might not be all that impressed by Snivy, but I really think she's a beast. Even in the battles she's lost (Cameron's Lucario, Samus' Heatmor and Emboar) she proved herself to be a truly formidable opponent who definitely wouldn't go down without a real fight.

As for the fourth... Probably Unfezant. I really like the battle spirit she finally decided to show upon evolving in the battle against Skyla, and even though she's lost quite a few battles she's still obviously very strong, she even went up against the Cloud Trio, and the battle she had against Koffing was great. Next, I'd probably say Palipitoad. I think it's strong, though I wish we got to see more of its battle strength. It's really close to to Unfezant's ranking, for sure. And last I'll go with Leavanny, who I definitely consider to be stronger than Boldore, Scraggy and Oshawott, and I really am quite found of Leavanny's battling style too. Ash always fights rather clever when Leavanny's out on the field.
 
1 - Krookodile for pulling through battles against type disadvantages; Stephen's Sawk and Brycen's Beartic.
2 - Leavanny for speed, endurance, and impressive techniques.
3 - Snivy for her perseverance, determination and she can put up a good fight.
4 - Pignite, I don't find him to be "omg hes such a powerhouse" but he's definitely a good battler for Ash.
5 - Palpitoad, he has moves that help him in every situation, and hes always able too pull through for Ash when necessary.
6 - Unfezant/Boldore, I can't really pick, but both of them have proved them selves to be pretty powerful, and because I think Unfezant's speed is somewhat tied with Boldore's ability.
 
1.Krookodile - He's proved his strength and, imo, is the strongest of Ash's Unova Pokemon. He's had some impressive wins against Dragonite, Sawk, Liepard, and Beartic, he also knocked out Scolipede and Seismitoad with Pikachu. He's lost to Pikachu and Swoobat, though that's not bad either. He has a rather diverse moveset and has a nice personality. I might be a tad bias since he's my favorite of Ash's Unova team but he takes the number one spot.

2.Pignite - Impressive wins, grew from a rather lukewarm battling to a powerhouse, knocking out a Hydreigon speaks levels of his strength. True Oshawott and Boldore helped weaken Hydreigon but Pignite got a large amount of hits in as well and Oshawott's Water-type attacks wouldn't do much against a Dragon anyway and Hydreigon only got hit by a Rock Smash from Boldore. Has beaten an Emboar, Heatmor, Scrafty, Herdier, and a couple other strong Pokemon. Even when he loses he's at least impressive, like against Druddigon and Vanillite. The former was a Pokemon trained by Emmy's father and the latter was stated to have been trained highly well in defense.

3.Leavanny - Has beaten Dwebble, Koffing, and was the main one responsible for Sawk's defeat. Really strong, imo, even though we don't see him battle much. Also beat Whirlipede and his battles are always interesting. Also the very useful Swarm is awesome, overall comes off as a much stronger Pokemon than Snivy to me.

4.Oshawott - Mad into a butt monkey a lot for the sake of the plot. You need a fodder Pokemon to make another character look good? Bring in Oshawott. There's no way he was going to beat Bianca's daddy's Darmanitan, it was a Pokemon he had since his youth. Pansear? Not a snowball's chance in hell because they needed to show off Chili's improvement somehow.(It's especially cringe-worthy since he didn't block the damn Solar Beam.) Cameron's Hydreigon is undefeated? Might as well use Oshawott as the sacrifice to weaken it. Cheren is nervous at his new gym job? Use Oshawott to give him a good victory off the bat. When the plot isn't working against the poor thing, he's really a good battling in his own right. Krokorok, Blitzle, Pansage, and even Palpitoad were all nice wins to me.
I'm really glad he'll be battling and, hopefully, winning against Dewott in a future episode after the run of bad luck he's had.

5.Unfezant - Seems pretty decent all around, knocked out Swoobat, Swanna, and even Braviary and Drilbur. One-hit KO'd TR's Amoonguss and Frillish if that counts for anything. She's pretty frail though, can't seem to take a heavy amount of punishment.

6.Snivy - She's not weak, per say, but I feel like Snivy starting off so mature and competent was her downfall in a way. Snivy's competent, capable, and has a rather strong moveset right from the start. Leaf Storm and Leaf Blade are moves that Grovyle and Torterra learned after quite a bit of training, Snivy can't seem to win a battle without Attract or luck. Pawniard was about to knock her out until she got stuck in the ground, Emolga beat her easily, she beat Palpitoad with Attract, she beat Servine with Attract, Attract didn't land on Frillish and she was made quick work of because of it, she was only able to inflict damage on Emboar after Attract hit. Though not gonna lie, she has proven to be pretty bulky and resistant. Taking all those hits from Riolu, Emboar, Emolga, and Simisear. She did defeat Simisear with Emolga's help so that's something. Gothita didn't really present much of a challenge, she was pretty weak. Though beating Cinccino was nice at least, she didn't need Attract either.
 
I agree that Oshawott is good when the plot dont moves against him but I still thinks that he doesnt fit in the six strongest. Maybe instead of Scraggy...
 
Snivy, Krookodile, Pignite, Palpitoad, Unfezant, Scraggy.

They've all proved themselves to be good fighters and they all have the fighting spirit.
 
And you need to put Oshawott on that list even though you might not think he's strong. He still is one of his pokemon.

But the question asked here was in fact which of Ash's six Unova Pokémon who you considered to be the strongest, so why should Oshawott need to be on it if he doesn't think it's strong?

Because even though he may not think it's strong to put on his little list doesn't mean he should rudely disregard putting him there anyway.

As far as his Unova team as a whole, I think Krookodile might be the strongest out of the list. It was pretty strong when it was first shown and it wasn't even in Ash's care yet. As far as Pignite, evolution doesn't mean much to me. I never though Pignite was stronger than Palpitaod or Boldore for that matter. I just wish we had more battles from all of the pokemon that way I could answer this question more easily.
 
Because even though he may not think it's strong to put on his little list doesn't mean he should rudely disregard putting him there anyway.

Rudely disregard? What? The question clearly asked who you considered to be Ash's six strongest Pokémon. He made his choice, and argued why he didn't consider Oshawott should be given a spot on the list. If we're to follow your logic he should've put Boldore and Unfezant on his list, too.
 
I do not my other 4 other strongest ones but definitely Oshawott #1 He is just really strong is the great Comedian Of The Whole Region.:ksmile:
