Although Pokémon and Attack On Titan have worlds filled with monsters and humans, the atmosphere and intensity seen in both could not be more different. However, when it comes to its protagonists like Ash Ketchum and Eren Yeager, similarities can be drawn regarding their never-give-up attitude and search for victory.
Considering how the protagonists from both shows have some shared qualities, it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility for fans to discuss and create concepts concerning a crossover between the two. If they were to crossover, which Pokémon would Eren Yeager find himself drawn to and which would he not be able to stand?
10 Would Want: Zacian Because Of Their Incredible Swordsmanship and Speed
Despite Zacian not being one of the best swordsmen in anime, Zacian's incredible speed and abilities will be useful for Eren. Although it may appear like a large dog, bulbapedia claims that Zacian has enough striking power to take down an opponent with one fatal strike.
For defensive powers, Zacian can also transform into a stone statue, which could be useful for Eren when combatting foes. Not only that, but Zacian's incredible agility, speed, and illusion production powers would seal the deal for Eren.
9 Would Not Want: Primeape Because They May Harm His Comrades
Not only is Primeape one of the weakest martial artists in anime, but this Pokémon's attitude and hotheaded behavior is something Eren wouldn't want on his team. Although triggering Primeape's rage may seem useful to Eren, he'll later find Primeape's unwillingness to listen to him a hindrance.
On that note, bulbapedia claims that Primeape will target anyone that it felt angers it and will chase them down until they've received a severe beating. Considering how Eren has those he wishes to protect amongst him, he will not want them to get hurt by a creature he owns.
8 Would Want: Keldeo Because Of Their Willingness To Train Hard And Fight Strong Foes
Though Keldeo may look like a small horse, its justice-seeking morals and willingness to better itself will be useful to Eren. Considering how Eren trained to become a formidable opponent to the titans, Eren may see Keldo as a reminder of his former self.
This creature is not a push-over regarding combat as the Keldeo species require strong opponents that will help it unlock its hidden powers from its horn. Therefore, Eren will be intrigued by its hidden power and will want to help it unlock it.
7 Would Not Want: Buneary Because Of Their Neediness For Attention And Specific Food
Not only are the Buneary species not considered as one of the best mascot characters in anime, but Buneary's neediness may convince Eren not to have one on his team. Despite getting stronger when training and having superb jumping abilities, Buneary requires immense care from its trainers.
Considering the threat, Eren must face in Attack On Titan, Buneary's needs may cost him his life or someone else's if under a dire situation. Moreover, Buneary also desires specific flowers for energy production, which would require Eren to spend more time satisfying the creature than having it help him in any way.
6 Would Want: Scizor Because Of Their Sheer Willpower And Skills
Scizor's will be a formidable Pokémon for Eren to have on his team for many reasons. According to bulbapedia, the Scizor species have claws that are strong enough to cut through tough-objects.
Considering how susceptible Titans are to sharp weaponry because of their weakness, Scizor may be a great Titan slaying companion for Eren to have on his team. Not only that but the Scizor species willpower is so strong that it will not stop until there's nothing left of its opponent.
5 Would Not Want: Slaking Because They Love Sleeping Than Fighting
Despite looking like a large Gorilla, this slumber-loving Pokémon wouldn't be a Pokémon Eren would want on his team. According to bulbapedia, the Slaking species are one of the laziest Pokémon and whose true-power comes from storing energy.
When faced with large level threats like the Titans, Slaking would look like an easy meal for the Titans to snack on. Despite having regenerative abilities thanks to its signature move Slack Off, its truant ability would be another life-threatening ability toward Slaking. Therefore, to omit Slaking from impending danger, Eren would not want it on his team.
4 Would Want: Skarmory Because Of Their Sharp Wings And Weapon-Making Capabilities
Skarmory's not only a Steel-type Pokémon with adoring fan art, but its brute strength and abilities will have Eren wanting one on the spot. Although their wings suffer from damages and take a year to grow back, bulbapedia claims that Skarmory's wings are sharper than any human-designed blade in existence.
Moreover, the Skarmory's species skin is rock-solid, making it something that Titans wouldn't want to bite into and being another feature in Eren's favor. Not only that, but it's mentioned in the Pokémon lore that warriors would use Skarmory's fallen feathers to make weapons, providing better weaponry for those who want to slay Titans.
3 Would Not Want: Munchlax Because They Love Searching For Food Instead Of Fights
Munchlax may share Goku's love for food, but its appetite and fighting power will not be useful to Eren. The Munchlax species aren't known for fighting as they will only want to walk around searching for a meal cooked or rotten. Furthermore, these Pokémon aren't the best speed-wise and would set their mind toward food than battle.
In a situation where Eren needs to count on it most, Munchlax would ignore Eren's orders, considering how the Pokémon will never feel full, according to bulbapedia. Therefore, Eren would walk away from Munchlax than wanting one on his team.
2 Would Want: Charizard Because Of Their Incredible Firepower And Lust For Strong Opponents
Even though Charizard may not be one of the best anime characters with fire powers, it does have the qualifications to become a member of Eren's Pokémon team. One of Charizard's best traits is its hunger for strong opponents to battle using its fire breath that can melt stone, icecaps and cause forest fires.
Moreover, Charizard's flying capabilities allow people to ride it and reach astounding heights in battle. Bulbapedia claims that Charizard can swim underwater despite their water weakness, making a fully-fledged fighting machine that would intrigue a fighter like Eren.
1 Would Not Want: Meowth Because Their Skills Will Not Be Useful To Eren
Although Meowth is a well-known Pokemon amongst older and current Pokemon fans, its strength and abilities will not satisfy Eren. Despite having a love for shiny objects that can make Eren a rich person via its move Pay Day, wealth isn't something Eren will look for in a Pokémon companion.
Even Meowth's intelligence will not satisfy Eren since he will be seeking Pokémon that contain a battle-ready attitude, insane fighting capabilities, and abilities that aid him in battle than outside of it. Therefore, despite the wealth, Meowth could bring to Eren's pockets, he'll deny the creature a spot on his team.
