Over the last nine generations of the Pokemon franchise, series developer Game Freak has continued to grow the series with new gameplay mechanics. New interpretations of traditional Pokemon mechanics, such as the powerful Mega Evolutions introduced in the Pokemon X and Y games, are examples of this. Alongside new Pokemon and gameplay, several new types, such as the Fairy typing, have been introduced over the years.
On occasion, Game Freak also has dabbled in introducing extraterrestrial Pokemon to the franchise. While not a distinct type of Pokemon, fans often associate them with each other due to their alien-like qualities. Many alien Pokemon are among the strongest in the series, with powerful stats.

Deoxys, the DNA Pokemon, is said to come from outer space as an alien virus, mutating into its current form after crashing into the Pokemon world via a meteorite. A rival of the powerful Rayquaza, Deoxys is one of the rarest Pokemon. It is known to hold its own against the most powerful Pocket Monsters due to its ability to transform into different forms.
The powerful mythical Pokemon can adopt a speed, defense, attack, and normal form. Each of the forms changes Deoxys' stats as seen in the table above. For example, the Speed Forme gives Deoxys a base stat of 180 speed, while its Attack Forme elevates its stats to a staggering 180 across both normal and special attacks. Across each of its forms, its stats equal 600, equivalent to a pseudo-legendary.
The 45 Biggest Pokemon Ever (From Smallest To Largest)
Pokemon quite literally come in all shapes and sizes. Here are the biggest Pokemon in the franchise, ranked from the smallest to the largest.
While Deoxys does not come top of the class in most of these stats, it is within the top ten Pokemon for each stat type. It is also the fastest Pokemon in the series when in its Speed Forme, beating the speedy Pheromosa to the top. It also has the highest Special Attack and Special Defense stats of any alien Pokemon.

The extraterrestrial with the highest defense, Stakataka is another Ultra Beast. Like Kartana, Stakataka is said to have come from another dimension in space through what is known as an ultra wormhole, which acts as a portal connecting the Pokemon world with ultra space.
This Pokemon has a base defense stat of 211, making it the second-highest defensive Pokemon after Mega Steelix, Aggron, and the adorable Shuckle, which are all tied at 230. Nevertheless, Stakataka's defense, half-decent attack, and dual rock/steel typing make it a valuable asset for players.

This one may be a contentious pick for an alien Pokemon. But according to Pokemon lore, Giratina, as well as its deity counterparts, Dialga, Palkia, and Arceus, are all from different dimensions within the Pokemon universe. Giratina lives in the Distortion World, a 'distorted' inverse version of the Pokemon world that does not abide by the laws of gravity.
Giratina is a demon-like pocket monster that Arceus exiled to the Distortion World. Players can encounter Giratina in normal and distorted forms, and it is one of the strongest Pokemon in the Gen 4 games.
