Pokémon We Could Beat Up #18
This is Pokémon We Could Beat Up #18
This is a bi-weekly column from Chris and I where we go through the National Pokédex and talk about whether we could beat each Pokémon in a fight.
091-95
091. Cloyster
Height: 4’11”
Weight: 292.2 lbs.
CHRIS: Big loss here. I imagine I try to hit it and it clamps my arm in half. He has that smug look on his face because he knows it’s true.
STEVE: The upgrade from Shellder to Cloyster isn’t even fair. How hard is a Cloyster shell you may ask?
“This impressive defense allows it to withstand anything from a bomb blast to even a missile strike.”

092. Gastly
Height: 4’03”
Weight: 0.2 lbs.
CHRIS: How do you hit something that’s not there? I have to lose.
STEVE: Gastly is poisonous so even being around one I would faint or die. On top of that it doesn’t even have a physical body so I don’t know how I’m supposed to hit it.
093. Haunter
Height: 5’03”
Weight: 0.2 lbs.
CHRIS: Again. A Ghost. But this one can torment my brain. I’m in danger.
STEVE: Haunter is scarier than you may think, here’s why:
If a human or a Pokémon comes near Haunter, it will stalk the victim while floating and beckon it to come closer. Once approached it will then lick the victim with its gaseous tongue, inflicting convulsions in the victim that last until death.

Haunter is going to stalk me, lick me and then watch me die. Wonderful. L.
094. Gengar
Height: 4’11”
Weight: 89.3 lbs.
CHRIS: No way Steve can beat him. Look at this dude. He is what appears in your nightmares.
STEVE: Maybe I could beat a Gengar. Gengar is not going to poison or stalk me, has a physical body and is more mischievous than dangerous. I’m going to say I can beat Gengar. W.
095. Onix
Height: 28’10”
Weight: 463.0 lbs.
