Best and Worst Monsters?

Sorry if there's already a thread like this, but no one seems to be posting in it anyway. Anywho, the question is in the title! Use a similar format, please. Here's what I think:
Best:
Dragons, because they're easy to train, very loyal, and awesome fighters!
Zans, because they're scary strong, very fast, and really accurate. Plus they get a lot out of the training.
Tigers, because they're fast and accurate, and they have some strong attacks.

Worst:
Plants, because they're very weak, slow, and inaccurate. And they're not very reliable.
Ogyos, because they're weak and inaccurate, and they get hit with a lot of attacks. What's worse is that they fail too often in training.
Gitans, because they're weak and take lots of damage from lots of attacks, and they fail several times in a row! Not to mention very, very inaccurate!

I can train almost any monster to be a champion, especially the ones I already mentioned for the best. It's just Ogyos, Gitans, and Plants that don't work!

No, I train those monsters the exact same way I trained all my best monsters. I even give them the same treatment and everything, but they just can't fight as well. I raise their parameters as much as I do with others (if they actually pass the trainging), but no matter how much I train them they still can't fight. Their attacks aren't that great, anyway.

*sigh*

guys... i think monsters also depend on their characteristics you know...

if you train a hare with fast footwork and give its heart to another monster that doesnt rely on defense like mew, they can survive strong monsters as they can easily dodge their attacks... for those monsters that rely on defense like golems and beaklons, train a durahan with armor and give its heart to those monsters. that way, even though they cant dodge the attack, the damage is GREATLY reduced...

i have a golem with armor and stone body as its first two characteristics... i also have a pixie that has fast footwork(idk if this one really is related but whatever).

both of them easily won the final battle... well, it also depends on the monster's trainer...

so, unless you guys are using gameshark codes, every monster has the potential to beat anybody... just depends on how the TRAINER trains them...

TRAINER = YOU!

peace out!

P.S. i know its a long thread... but i had to say what i said...

The reason why you can't train them to win is because they don't work like other monsters. I know for a fact that plants are only for Life and I do belive inteligence. Ogyo's I belive is used for it's inteliectual moves and the fact that it can get really fast. as for Gitan, I never heard of it so I can't help you there.


Anyways, To me the best monsters are Golems, Dragons, and Lesiones.
The worst monsters to me are Zan's, Plant's, and Hares.
The reason why I think that Zan's are weak is because I can't get them to even look at a training, unless it is a certain area and only 1 type of training in that area. Plant's to me take to much time, and I just can't seem to find what to do to keep them awake and training. And Hares Ijust hate and couldn't never actually use. they keep changing what they are supposed to be, and in the 2nd game, they were the spped demon. the 3rd game they are used to pack a punch but are expected to not get hit only because of thier Quick Feet, and the Monster Rancher for the DS, hares are supposed to pack a punch while they hit every time, though if you try to attack them with something that has over a 50% hit chance, they are hit and pretty much dead.

[/b]Best[b]
[/b]Beaclons[b] because they have high defence and attack
[/b]Nagas[b] because they have high power & skill
[/b]Zuums[b] because they are perfect for n00bs
I would say piroro but he isn't in the game

[/b]Worst[b]
[/b]Color Pandoras[b] I don't even know how to raise these freaks
[/b]Galis[b] I'm sorry but this guy's life span is short and uhh.... at least he has good stats
[/b]Octopee[b] I just couldn't raise the guy

I'm not sure about worst, but in personal experiences I'd say octopee since they don't do much damage unless you level one of those ridiculous orb eating moves or bakus since in general they are slow (speed = speed and accuracy in mr3) and most moves are terrible (I mean, what is a lick gonna do? Coat you in drool and eat up your guts a bit?) However, Zans, Dragons, Tigers, and I hate to say it but Pixies are some of the best.

Zans, if trained well, can be great partners. I have gotten them to A and S many times, they have quick, powerful, accurate moves. Though most of my zans DID have hearts with many, many monsters in it (like so many it was shoving other monsters out of the history) I did get them to around 400-800 in every stat, 800 being speed.

Dragons are dragons, brute beasts they are. Not always the most accurate but when they do hit, they take a large sum of life out of the opponent.

Tigers if raised mainly in speed, power, and then life are amazing, a swift, accurate bite or two can take most or all of the opponents life and if you're hit you don't have to worry.

Alas come the pixies, which if you give a handful of life, int, and speed can take a beating, and starlight (25 guts) on my pixie with a bit over 400 int was doing a good 100 damage at a time in the high ranks, and raycast takes a measly 13 guts and pumps out anywhere from 25-60 damage to 80 or 90 with a critical hit and it was only level 2 if I remember correctly.

One last thing, what you say about plants is totally wrong haha. I raised one that lived around 6 years before it died, and in the end a few pecks and a bullet seed could put the opponent on his knees begging for mercy. Ended up with around 600 in power and speed, 500 in life, 2 or 300 in int and another 2 or 300 in defense. If you're patient, it's a great monster to live with and use as a stat collector to pass on to other monsters.
