Dragon Ball Z and Pokémon are two franchises that invaded the homes of many anime fans worldwide with their memorable characters, stunning action scenes, and iconic soundtracks. Whenever someone questions a fan about anime series that impacted their childhood, one of these two franchises is name-dropped in the discussion.
Furthermore, some fans may have engaged in a discussion concerning both franchises, at least once in their lives, regarding a potential crossover. Which Pokémon would a Dragon Ball Z character choose as their signature Pokémon is something fans would contemplate if such a thing was to occur.
10 Goku & Infernape Are Two Characters That Love To Fight & Become Stronger
Whenever someone contemplates Goku's worst character traits, many will highlight why his urge to fight people and train is among them. Despite what some may say against these traits, Goku will seek out powerful fighters that'll help him reach his goals. One of these powerful fighters who could give Goku a daily sparring session is Infernape.
Infernape's a Pokémon that loves fighting as much as Goku does and will not hesitate if asked for a match against the iconic Saiyan. Also, Goku loves bringing out his opponent's full strength, and seeing his Infernape unleash its true power via the ability Blaze against him, is something worth witnessing.
9 Vegeta & Nidoking Would Represent A Royal Duo With Impressive Strength
Although there are many questions about Saiyans fans that still need answers, understanding Vegeta's role as the Saiyan Prince isn't something fans need to hear again. Vegeta is a very prideful fighter who doesn't like defeat, so to have a king-like Pokémon alongside him is something Vegeta wouldn't mind having.
Nidoking's tails can break down large transmission towers and are creatures known for tangling breaking their prey's bones. The Pokémon's horns can crush diamonds, and despite it being hard to control when rampaging, Vegeta wouldn't have an issue knocking sense back into his Nidoking partner's skull.
8 Future Trunks Would Utilize Aegislash's Ability To Lower His Foes Attacking Power
Despite having characteristics that differ him from his father, Vegeta, Future Trunks has proven on many occasions why he's not a Saiyan anyone should underestimate on the battlefield. When ranking Future Trunk's best fights, many will notice his excellent swordsmanship and hand-on-hand combat.
Considering his attachment with his sword, it makes sense for Trunks to pair together with a living and breathing sword and shield Pokémon like Aegislash. Many Pokémon kings owned Aegislash because they can protect themselves from harm and lower their opponent's attacking power.
7 Gohan Would Value Lucario's Peace-Making Agenda & Resonate With The Pokémon's Ability To Sense Others Emotions
There were many times Gohan felt like a better protagonist than Goku, whether it be with his fight with Cell and training with Piccolo. Despite Gohan not getting the treatment some fans want from his character, he can still hold his ground against several strong characters.
Like Piccolo, Lucario would be a great companion for Gohan. Lucario's known as the Aura Pokémon, capable of sensing others' emotions and utilizing that strength in battle. Since both characters love bringing peace to the world and are emotionally-driven, Lucario would be a perfect Pokémon for Gohan.
6 Piccolo Would Vibe Well With Sceptile Since Both Are Caregivers And Fighters
Despite fans loving to poke fun at Goku by declaring Piccolo as Gohan's father, there are many things about Piccolo that make no sense concerning his appearance and other traits. Besides that, many people love seeing Piccolo get screentime in the anime regardless if he's a caregiver, fighter, or a loner off training somewhere.
If Piccolo received the opportunity to pick a Pokémon partner, he'd choose Sceptile considering how much its attitude meshes well with his. The Sceptile species are known for being caring individuals to forest life and being serious when needed. With excellent agility and a habit to tend to itself, Piccolo wouldn't mind making some room for Sceptile.
5 Frieza & Mewtwo Would Become A Formidable Evil Team Who'd Have No Problem Wiping Out Humanity
Despite Mewtwo having a lot of spotlight in the Pokémon games, anime, and other media, it's a Kanto Region Pokémon that shouldn't exist because of its deadly powers. On the other hand, in the eyes of a villain like Frieza, Mewtwo would be a suitable companion for him to utilize for his army.
Further, both Mewtwo and Frieza both have a vendetta against humanity, besides the first Pokémon film version of Mewtwo undergoing a change-of-heart in the end. If this were a random Mewtwo that never experienced humanity's good side, then it'll be just as cruel and menacing as Frieza.
4 Cell And Genesect Are Two Beings That Strived For Perfection And Can Cause Cataclysmic Damage
For someone who felt they were the perfect being, getting defeated by a young Saiyan child wasn't something Cell would want on his villain resume. Despite his loss, many argue Cell was the best villain in Dragon Ball Z because he enables Goku to sacrifice himself and uses the Z warriors' attacks against themselves.
Another creature that Cell wouldn't mind having as a partner would be Genesect, considering it's also a human-made creature meant to be the most powerful Pokémon ever. With Genesect's powerful cannon and agility, Cell may find more use from it than he did with the Cell Jrs.
3 Master Roshi And Blastoise Would Work Well Together Since Blastoise Can Perform Impressive Feats
Whether Master Roshi's relaxing in his island home or trying to score himself a date, many people enjoyed their time with the character in Dragon Ball to current. Further, looking disheveled, Master Roshi still had tricks up his sleeve, as shown with his impressive battling prowess during the Tournament of Power arc in Dragon Ball Super.
However, if there's a Pokémon many could see vibe well with Master Roshi, it'd be Blastoise. Blastoise can hold its ground in combat with water cannons that allow it to pierce through steel and concrete. If Master Roshi ever needed someone to defend his home while away, he could rely on Blastoise to get the job done.
2 Majin Buu And Gengar Are Both Comedic And Playful Characters That Would Enjoy Each Other's Company
Although Majin Buu doesn't have any evil intent to kill innocent beings in the Dragon Ball world anymore, he still possesses some ill-hearted traits that would blend well with a Pokémon-like Gengar. As shown in the film Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods, Majin Buu didn't have issues irritating someone like Beerus.
In the Pokémon world, Gengar has shown similar rude behavior around humans and other Pokémon as it always loves to play practical jokes on others for its amusement. Majin Buu also loves laughing and being a playful character in the series, and to have a jokester like Gengar around would make his days funnier.
1 Android 18 Would Value Gardevoir's Loyalty And Trust That It Can Help Her Protect Her Family
Although Android 18 started as a villain in the series, she later became a caring lover for Krillin. Whether on the battlefield or in a public area, she's always willing to have her husband back when he needs assistance. The love and care she has for her family would mesh well with Gardevoir, who'd help Android 18 maintain her family's safety.
In the Pokémon world, Gardevoir can create mini black holes, warp dimensions, and see into the future. The Gardevoir species is known for being loyal to those who grant it respect and will defend their masters to the end.
