Congrats to you all getting your vaccines!

I mean, Flygon is the closest I've got to a bug dragon.

Oof, I just realized we're down to Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Pikachu. This is going to be a rough cut!

Type: Null I always forget that Type: Null is considered a legendary Pokémon Regardless, they are pretty cool! Type: Null was introduced during Gen VII and evolves into Silvally when its friendship is high enough. Just like my other cut from this round, Type: Null has a strong connection with a trainer from the games/anime in Gladion. The lore behind Type: Null is that it wears a heavy control mask that suppresses its abilities as it seems to be prone to going on rampages otherwise. It’s also a man-made Pokémon apparently, being modeled after Arceus. Aside from its speed, Type: Null has above average stats all around with each stat being 95. It learns normal, bug, steel, and flying moves naturally through level up. Just like with Politoed, I was expecting Type: Null to be saved this round, but clearly I miscalculated. Sorry to be the one to cut them, but I feel reasonably confident we may see Silvally for a while longer (I’ve totally jinxed them now so disregard my statement here).

Politoed Kudos to Politoed nearly cracking the top 50! I didn’t think they had that much staying power, especially at the beginning of the rankdown, but I’m actually a little bit surprised to see them leaving now. They’re a pure water type trade evolution of Poliwhirl introduced during Gen II. Their most notable appearance is being owned by Misty in the anime, where it’s known for its particularly cheery disposition. Politoed has pretty decent stats all around, with its HP and special stats being the strongest. In addition to the obvious water type moveset, Politoed also learns normal, ground, and flying moves naturally. I’ve never used Politoed before due to the abundance of water types in the games they are available in, but I could see them being a valuable team member. Sorry to cut their journey short, but again, congrats on making it this far!

Obviously I'm saving my boi, Caterpie

Hopefully she'll be able to be rid of the rest of the tumor!

Save Frosmoth Also, I'll try and get my writeups on here in the next little bit.

I was also a big Liahona fan Also, I've yet to catch up on the most recent episodes, but I'll try and respond to your thoughts sometime! I enjoyed reading them!

lol I was considering saving someone else, but I noticed we're down to 5 bugs so Scizor's gotta be kept safe

Save Scizor

I'm still bitter about that. I will say Angela finally released an EP years later so she's got a bit of music out there now

Noms Arcanine Politoed Tropius Weavile Noivern Incineroar Type: Null Hatterene

As much as I loved Catie, she definitely should've gone home that night (Jurnee on the other hand... her getting voted out that week was a choice)

I'll save Frosmoth

I believe this is her around the 49 second mark in this video so someone messed up at Wikipedia

I think Lauren did make green mile (for season 9 anyways). Oh, and I didn't know TK was originally in the top 24. I remember reading about her not signing the contract, but I assumed that was before they decided who advanced.

She made it as far as Tori Kelly did without the airtime lol

Goodra Goodra is an interesting Pokémon to me. It’s slowly grown on me since it first came out during generation VI. It’s a dragon type pseudo-legendary that evolves from Sliggoo starting at level 50 when leveled up in rain or fog. It has a reputation as a very friendly Pokémon, which is really endearing actually. Goodra’s top stat is its special defense, but they also have great attack stats (and its other stats aren’t far from being 100). So, Goodra may be worth training in a future playthrough of XY lol. Goodra may not be winning this rankdown, but making it this deep (top 60ish) is a really great accomplishment, so congrats to them!

Absol You know this rankdown’s getting intense when icons like Absol are my choice to eliminate. Absol’s a dark type introduced during Gen III and is a dark type that has access to mega evolution. Absol has a reputation of being an omen of bad luck, with disasters often occurring following their appearance. In actuality, Absol appears to warn people, so unfortunately Absol has a bad reputation in the world of Pokémon. Statwise, Absol has great physical attack, and good special attack and speed. Another note from the disaster thing – apparently many of its appearances in the games support its disaster association (ex: DPPt, BW, SM, USUM, and Shadows of Almia). Absol is such a cool Pokemon, but it’s not quite top 50 material for me. Regardless, they are amazing! Congrats to making it this far, Absol

I'll try and get my write-ups in later this evening!

Saving Butterfree, Snorlax, and Frosmoth Cut Absol, Goodra
