Blastoise techincally came to mind first, but I really wanted an answer that wasn't the same evolution line as a previous entrant.

Mew came to mind first. Then Charmander. It could very well be Blastoise, though. Also, when I think about it, Raichu could be pretty strong, too.

Wow, I almost forgot that Lugia was in a contest.

Lugia was a Guru nom, in fact

If only because 2018 seemed to suggest that the cuter Pokemon did better than the menacing ones. Pikachu was right up there with Crono and Mega Man in strength. Charizard and Mewtwo both were busts. Squirtle didn't make it, but he actually looked good in his first few matches before 2013 went off the rails, so I don't think we would've seen Squirtle decline quite that hard.

So give me the starters in their early forms. Also why I think Eevee is probably strongest Gen 1 Pokemon evolution line not represented.

fyi this topic series will be rebranded as "Your First Thought" starting with the 9th installment so i can cram more bullshit in the topic title

like "Your First Thought: Character Battle Entrant That You'd Most Like to Sit On Your Face For Up to Three Straight Hours"

I think that will fit now right

"some pokemon in Smash who hasn't gotten into a contest yet"

This is probably incorrect because some random gen 1 pokemon who hasn't gotten in yet is surely stronger.

Blastoise

my suggestion: character with the biggest difference between peak strength, and weakest strength. i don't know how you fit that in a topic title though. and now that I think about it everyone would say Draven.
