Collider has published a ranked list of all 20 "Paradox Pokémon" from the games Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, ordered from weakest to strongest based on design, stats, competitive value and fan popularity. The lowest-ranked entries covered are:

– Iron Jugulis (No. 20) — a futuristic Hydreigon variant seen as a clear downgrade, losing key moves with an uninspired design.
– Iron Thorns (No. 19) — an armoured Tyranitar variant that loses its useful Sand Stream ability and gains a costly 4x Ground-type weakness.
– Brute Bonnet (No. 18) — an ancient Amoonguss variant whose new Grass/Dark typing sacrifices defensive strengths for little gain.
– Iron Leaves (No. 17) — a futuristic form, part of a group of Paradox variants based on legendary Pokémon (details cut off in the supplied text).
