Pokémon isn't without its fair share of hyper-powered, colorful, iconical characters. When we think of some of the strongest Pokémon who's surrounded in myth and legend, we cast our minds to the likes of Arceus, Mewtwo, Lugia and Ho-Oh to name a few. Today, we're here to celebrate Celebi! This onion-headed guardian of the forests is the star of this piece. For someone as small as a Mew, Celebi is just as powerful, if not more so!

We're going to be stripping down the time-traveling Pokémon. From the statistical numbers that makeup Celebi's power, to the hidden abilities, we've only briefly seen. There's a truckload of reasons why Celebi is too powerful, some of them actually make us think Celebi is one of the most powerful Pokémon to ever exist. Of course, this honourary badge is incredibly difficult to pin on any specific Pokémon. Especially considering they've got so many different abilities, powers, and move-sets that make them shine in their💞 own light.

Getting out all the facts that could be found about Celebi and sifting through the ones that make it a true powerhouse wasn't incredibly difficult. Celebi's power shines, it's 🤪no secret that the mythical monster has so many great🐲 things going for it. Looking at undercover secrets that make Celebi powerful, like the hidden code that makes Celebi purely event worthy only; digging deep into its time-travel abilities and looking closely at his healing properties. Get your time flutes ready and your GS Balls in-hand. A wild Celebi appears!

25 ꦛ Celebi Can Willingly Time-Travel 🅰

It's no secret that Celebi is THE time-traveling Pokémon. However, when we take a closer look into this ability that makes Celebi shine, we begin to get a greater understanding of why this ability makes Celebi way too overpowered. Because this Pokémon can't just time-travel randomly, no, it can control t🐭his ability!

Celebi can travel wherever it wants, whenever it wants!

The fact Celebi has full control over this ability makes it one of the strongest Pokémon to ever exist.  Random time-travel is cool, but being able to select the date and location you want to go to makes 🐓Celebi too powerful for words.

24 Separate Time Period Co-Existence! 🌜

Celebi can't just time-travel, it can co-exist in two separate time periods, at the same time. Even the thought of such a power literally baffles my brain. How can something exist in two different time periods at the same time? Well according to further research Celebi might not be a unique species, there may be more than one Celebi. It's widely accepted across the board that the Anime and Game canon are completely different from one another. An example of this power is where Celebi's can revive a dead Celebi as seen in .

23 🌳 Guardian O🔯f The Forest?

Celebi isn't just an amazing time-traveling entity, Celebi also has the ability to allow plant-life to flourish wherever it goes. Celebi's power over grass, plants, and trees not only makes it a powerful friend of forest-dwelling Pokémon, but it also makes it a close-friend of humanity too. We as people breathe the oxygen that fauna creates, the fact that Celebi can help any forest grow overnight makes it incredibly overpowered. Especially because of the respect that the Grass-type Pokémon inܫ the forest have for Celebi, could you imagine the Grass-type uprising caused by Celebi! Viva-la-revoluಌtion!

22 Healinꦗg Capabi🌄lities!

Who needs a Pokémon ꦓCentre, Nurse Joy, Potions or Doctors when you've got a Celebi. As mentioned earlier Celebi's capable of reviving and healing itself and others. A Celebi👍 healed Misty's injured leg and it was a group of Celebi's that healed the .

Celebi's ability to heal the sick and injured, almost effortlessly, makes it beyond overpowered!

In the next entry, we'll be looking at Celebi's purification abilities and in-game healing and support abilities that make it incredibly strong. Myths and legends surrounding this time-traveling Pokémon are well-deserved, Celebi's basically a walking Pokémon Centre! Thanks to Evil Queenie for the !

21 𒀰 💛 Purification Abilities!

Hands down one of my favorite Pokémon games of all-time is Pokémon Colosseum. Why? because Pokémon Colosseum was a full 3D adventure, on the Nintendo Gamecube, something I'd prayed for in my youth. Sadly, Colosseum could have been a lot better, like the fact you could only catch specific Shadow Pokémon and you'd only get one chance at this. When you took your Shadow Pokémon to a specific area in the game and played your time flute, Celebi would appear and purify your Pokémon. This powerful ability to purify the darkened heart of Pokémon makes it a bane in the backside of any villain's plan in the Pokémon Nation and renders any Shadow Pokémon useless.

20 🍃 Peace Sensor?

Celebi's one of those Pokémon where the Pokédex legitimately speaks a thousand words. Not only can Celebi travel through time to any specific point it likes, but it also has a sixth-sense for peaceful times. Rumored to only appear in times of peace drastically lowers Celebi's chance of been hurt or put in any danger. However, as we're going to look at, this ability of Celebi's is redundant considering it's such a gutsy little thing. The Pokédex claims Celebi only appears in times of peace, and if we believe this to be true, Celebi would never be in any danger. If you're lucky enough to see a Celebi you can consider your time𒈔 period to be one of peace and prosperity.

19 ꦡ Celeb🦄i's Dark Side!

Just as efficiently as it can create and flourish whole forest areas, Celebi can destroy. In the fourth Pokémon movie, when the Iron-Masked Mauraduer captures Celebi with a Dark Ball he gets the mythical Pokémon to do his bidding.

Celebi manages to destroy the entire forest it once preserved with ease!   

Luckily Ash and Sam manage to snap Celebi out of the Masked Maurader's spell and resurrect the forest. There's a reason why mythical Pokémon keep away from the 📖likes of us humans, our greed and lust for power can make us potential world destroyers. Thankfully𝓰, good always triumphs evil, at least in the world of fiction...

18 ౠ Trophy Dropping Maniac!

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl when the player picks up a Poké Ball there's a 1-in-493 chance that Celebi will drop. Celebi will use the move Fly and dash around the screen, but Celebi is not going to help you win the game... Instead, the little-legend that is Celebi throws trophies everywhere that you can grab and collect! Just like all the other "secret" Pokémon, Celebi drops collectibles, but by far, Celebi's drop is the best. Everyone strives to get all the trophies in Smash Bros! Just a shame that you have a 1-in-493 chance of Celebi dropping!

17 ♌ Celebi Can Send YOU Thr💞ough Time Willingly!

Celebi's fantastical ability to traverse the line of time makes it one of the most powerful Pokémon in existence, but what if I told you this ability can extend to other living things! Because of this, it comes as no surprise that Celebi is so highly sought after by the villains of Pokémon. Everyone waﷺnts to harness this incredible ability for themselves! Evidence of this is seen during the events of , Celꦗebi sent you into the past!
