What Is The Heaviest Pokémon?

The titular creatures of come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, with some having some truly incredible weights as a result. Every Pokémon has its own official height and weight noted in the Pokédex, details which function as both points of comparison and occasionally as factors in actual gameplay.
