The "strongest" Pokémon depends on the context (lore, stats, gameplay), but Arceus is often called the strongest due to being the creator with balanced, high stats (720 BST) and unique type-changing ability, while Eternatus (Eternamax) boasts the highest Combat Power (CP) and absurdly high stats in-game (1125 BST), making it a lore powerhouse needing multiple players to defeat. Other contenders include Mega Evolutions like Mega Mewtwo Y, powerful Legendaries like Zacian, Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza, and competitive favorites like Rapid Strike Urshifu in specific formats.
The #1 strongest Pokémon is generally considered to be Arceus, the mythical "creator god" of the Pokémon universe, due to its lore as the source of all creation and its ability (Multitype) to change its type and stats, making it incredibly versatile and powerful. Other contenders for raw power include Mega Mewtwo Y, Mega Rayquaza, and Eternatus's Eternamax form, but Arceus's divine status usually places it at the top.

The rarest Pokémon depends on the context (cards vs. games), but generally, Mythical/Event Pokémon like Mew, Celebi, and Darkrai are extremely rare in games due to limited distribution.
