probably in my top 3 Pika-clone... It's a good Pokemon that helps you along the way but you eventually move them to a box around the 30~ 

 

Crisis

Quote

It not being much different from Pawmo design-wise is a little disappointing. However, it's still a very good Pokémon to use.

 

Derek

Quote

why make this a 3 stage evolution when the design is basically identical??

 

Nico

Quote

It's hardly the worst pikaclone we have ever had, and at least they gave it an evolutionary line. Still not my thing.

 

 Sola

Quote

did we need this terrible pika-clone in the end?  Absolutely not.

A cute design but other than that I don't have much to say.

Houndstone is creepy. Why couldn't it stay cute

I didn't think Bisharp needed an evolution because it was great as it was. However, once I saw this thing, I'm glad it did. This is one of the coolest Gen IX Pokémon both design and usability wise. It has one of the best abilities with Supreme Overlord and has a great movepool to take advantage of its stats and abilities. Its two biggest flaws are speed and typing, but the latter can be addressed by changing its Tera type. Without question, this is one of my favorite Gen IX and overall Pokémon.

 

Sola

an upgrade to an already strong pokemon.

 

 Nico

Quote

Its fine, don't care for it

 

 Rei

no attachments to it.. it's strong but I just evolved it to complete the Pokedex and it is sitting nicely in box #12

Palafin is my favorite Pokémon from this generation. We finally got a dolphin Pokémon with the Finizen/Palafin line, and Palafin does not disappoint. It does have a gimmick with its Zero to Hero ability, but it does pay off. I have a Palafin on my Pokémon Scarlet team, and he was a very reliable team member throughout my entire playthrough.

 

Crisis

Quote

I didn't care for this at first because it wasn't much of a change from Finizen design-wise. Once I learned of it's ability, however, I was all in. It's such a cool concept. The only nitpick I have is that the execution could be better.

 

Nico

Quote

I feel I should like it more than I do? I blame the Hero Form (kinda)

 

Rei

Quote

I don't like the gimmick.. had I actually used it, I probably would like it more

 

 Sola

Quote

cool concept! Low because I am annoyed Ceruledge was not advanced.

This was such a cool edition to the DLC.  I just wish the other forms of dipplin would get evolutions now!

 

Nico

Quote

Somewhat here for the goofy looking dragon pokemon.

 

Crisis

Quote

This is here mostly because I have yet to play the DLC. It has an interesting design to say the least.

 

 Rei

Quote

it was one of the last Pokemon I obtained and I didnt really play with it hence there no attachment

Koraidon is superior, but Miraidon is still great. I love the two sandwich eating legends

 

Sola

Quote

great design, very strong.

 

Rei

Quote

generic? maybe! did I have fun riding it the whole game? yeah.. it is pretty strong and has a cool story

 

Crisis

Quote

It's a shame Kiraidon couldn't make it as well. However, Miraidon is a beast of a Pokémon that has a great futuristic design. A case where I am a fan of both box legendaries.

 

 Derek

Quote

the weird motorcycle dragons never did anything for me. Sandwich is iconic tho.

 

 Nico

Quote

Another stereotypical Dragon-type legendary eh? *shoves it in last place*

I’ve personally always been a big fan of food-based Pokemon, dog Pokemon, and fairy types, so of course I’m going to stan the bread dog. Fidough was already adorable, and Dachsbun is both cute and cool imo. Stat-wise, Dachsbun has pretty good attack, special defense, and speed, and great defense. Its hp and special attack aren’t so great, but I still was able to get great use out of this Pokemon during my original Scarlet playthrough. I also like their signature ability, Well-Baked Body, which renders fire type attacks useless and only increases their defense by two stages. Dachsbun isn’t my favorite from this gen (Dudunsparce, Lokix, Fuecoco, and maybe Grafaiai overtake them), but they’re still an excellent ‘mon and I’m more than happy to give them first place!

Its fine, don't care for it

 

Rei

a dog/bread fairy pokemon??? count me in!

 

Sola

Quote

I like Dachsbuns but I would trade it in a second for Ceruledge in this final.

 

 Crisis

Quote

wouldn't have this in my personal Top 15 Gen IX Pokémon, but good for it making it here.

IT’S LITERALLY JUST A FLAMINGO I LOVE THEM. For real though, Flamigo isn’t complex design wise, but it’s so on the nose that it works for me.

 

Derek

Quote

Between the design and the name and the typing, this is sooooo silly that it loops around and becomes iconic.

 

Nico

Quote

11/10 goofy design, no notes

 

Sola

Quote

I personally didn't use it in my playthrough, but thats because I found it so late.  I think its a good concept.

 

 Crisis

Quote

This thing is so derpy looking I can't help but enjoy it. It also was pretty effective when I used it a few times.

 

 

 Rei

Quote

I feel know like I've missed out a lot by never using Flamigo

I love Ogerpon and such a welcome edition to the franchise.  It probably would have been #2 if Ceruledge had advanced, but yall have terrible taste.

 

Rei

Quote

The Teal Mask was tedious but the story was on point! and most of it comes from how cool Ogerpon is. Easily my favorite legendary from this Gen and the fact that is a grass only makes me like it more 

 

Crisis

Quote

The mask option appears to be a cool concept. Maybe this one will rank higher should I get around to playing the DLC.

Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh

I am not sure why I like this ostrich so much.  But I got one early on with a hidden ability and it dominated my playthrough.

 

Nico

Quote

Honestly, if you delete Squawkabilly, they kinda ate up the bird designs this generation

 

Rei

Quote

I haven't really used it but it is a top design

 

 Crisis

Quote

This gets tricky because I enjoy all of my Top 11 from this set. Unfortunately, Espathra lands at the bottom; however, I still like it a lot.

Love them!!! Great design and super strong!

 

Crisis

Quote

It's a good thing this one is so effective in battle because it has such an odd design and movement to say the least. It's my least favorite Paldean starter, but it's still a great overall Pokémon.

 

Nico

Its fine, don't care for it

Funnily enough I was team Quaquaval at the beginning but Meowscarada ended up winning me over! Favorite starter from this Gen

 

Crisis

Quote

Hands down my favorite Paldean starter. It's the one I used during my Scarlet playthrough and has bailed me out on a number of occasions. It has a great concept, and I enjoy its design despite it taking me some time to get used to.

 

Steven

Derek

Sprigatito deserved but this one is not that bad actually.

I loved the second evolution, and hate this one.  Flower Trick is a sick move though.
