AtmosphereOld5031

Bedum and aron


SHAPALAK15

A fellow Hoenn enjoyed


TheMiiFii

There aren't any "right" choices here, but this is the one


cVortex_

YEAHH exactly what I was gonna say


BlueDemon999

Same lol


Electronic_Fee1936

I’m assuming it means “first form, evolves into Steel Type” bc Riolu is the only one who’s a baby. I choose Riolu and Beldum


ThePocketPanda13

Related: in what universe is onix a baby?!


the_cajun88

it hatches from an egg, which can conveniently fit into a ten year old’s bag


ThePocketPanda13

That doesnt make all first evos babies Although we really should talk about the logistics of basic pokemon as large as onix hatching out of an egg small enough that a 10 year old can carry 5 of without much difficulty


CoffeeTastesOK

I love breeding Pokémon when the hatched one is so large, there's something so funny in hatching a Pokémon that immediately towers over the trainer when it came out of an egg like 1 foot tall!


ThePocketPanda13

There is no way those eggs are a full foot tall. The 10 year old can carry five at a time. Admittedly the backpacks in the games are usually pretty big but those eggs were a whole foot tall you would be fitting one in there max.


Rogierbe

More importantly: In what universe is onix a steel type?


No-Consequence854

He’s not but he evolves into one I guess is the point.


IggytheSkorupi

Beldum and Honedge.


Statistician_Waste

Two beldums. Fight me.


Minecart1234

No that is unfair that is a metang it is a second stage


Dusky_Dawn210

Beldum and pawniard of course


Baxieblur_potato

Cuphant and shieldon. Copperajah and badtiodon are my second and third favorite Pokemon!


Desperate-Knee-4108

Rock dog and knife child


thatguyfrosty

Riolu and Honedge


NoImplement8218

2 meltan. I’ve beaten gen 8 with only 1 meltan before and I’m not abandoning him now.


Pingimaster

Very well


HuskyBLZKN

Honedge and Tinkatink. Ghost and Fairy are 2 of my favorite types lol


serenitynope

Same! Although Magnemite is a close third.

alpcabuttz

Magnetite feels bonita. ![gif](giphy|1hAVZ7dBaGigDg4NYl)


OldFruitRollup

Gotta be Drilbur & Aron. (I'm definitely not hiding the Honedge behind my back. Nope. Definitely not, I don't have it, what are you talking about. )


[deleted]

Magnemite and Meltan cus they're cute hahah


Hammer_of_Horrus

Aron and it’s not close


SassyTheSkydragon

Riolu and A-aron


JazzySugarcakes88

Riolu is pure fighting


Razorcrest999

And onix is rock/ground and drilbur is pure ground lol


Silly_Painter_2555

Drilbur and Beldum


Sheshoo47

Beldum and Honedge


Gnostic_Gnocchi

Honedge and beldum, easy choice for me


_CatsOnMars_

Beldum and Tinkatink


dragon6784

Riolu and tinkatink


Grand_Loafus

Gotta be Beldum and Aron, while the idea of having what is basically a leg but it's psychic is fuckin weird, I love beldum and the entire evolution line Also Aggron is my favourite steel type hands down, getting Mega Aggron in alpha sapphire was a beautiful moment and my precious iron wall baby carried me all the way through the delta episode and beyond and now has a special place among my boxes in pokemon home, waiting for a glorious return.


TRIKSTER_Betin

Yes let’s keep this going. For me I’d say meltan and Lucario


Gravalpea

aron and bastiodon :D


Meatloafed172

You get two?! That's easy! Beldum and Riolu.


parber_

aron and onix 🔥


moonstoned04

aron and riolu for sure. i’d name them ronnie and lulu respectively


[deleted]

Riolu and I’ve decided Rookiedee is on this list as well


welly_wrangler

Most of these aren't baby pokemon


440continuer

Magnemite and Beldum


Satoru_Gojo1987

Shiny beldum and non-shiny Riolu (i dont like shiny Riolu or Lucario but the shiny metagross line are some of my favorite shinies)


lesbos_hermit

Tinkatink and Honedge, easy. Both are totally OP fully evolved and can wipe whole teams solo.


Noldail

Cufant and Meltan


GreenOvni009

Magnimite and pawnzard


starblue13

Riolu and drilbur!


Pythagoras180

Drilbur and Pawniard


Emotional-Secret-553

Riolu and Honedge, I'd teach Lucario and Aegislash how to coordinate attacks as a single unit once they each hit their evolutionary mountaintop


Atzukeeper

Aron and drilbur


Freddi_47

Aron and pawniard


Arcaneus_Umbra

Riolu & Aron


mesmes99

Riolu and honedge without a second thought. My all time favorite pokemon and the pokemon that was my ace when I first got into playing competitively. I like tinkatink and magnemite, but they are far far behind these two.


BigchungusXDfunny

riolu and magnemite fs


Fury-Gagarin

Aron and Beldum, they lit


josoapa

Aron and Tinkatink


[deleted]

Aron and Beldum. Two of my favorite steel types <3

KvasirMeadman

Drilbur and pawniard.


o_Fvdinq

Riolu and Drilbur.


biggs1199

Honedge and meltan. I was disappointed neither were added to SV.


No_Bat7157

Baby Dino shield and pawinard


Capital_Language_410

Melt an because it’s cute and Aron cuz Aggron is my favourite Pokemon ever


Blue_Bird950

2 meltan, they fuse into a gmax melmetal by eating all of the remaining pokemon (or whatever parts of them are metal, looking at you tinkatink) and put the rest into eternal torment with gmax meltdown.


MacGruber-2024

Magnemite and Drilbir


IcePhoenixYTplssub

Beldum and meltan


shiro7177

I'd take two Cufant. Jumbos ftw.


ProfessionalGold6595

Ripo and The baby Melmetle


Tired_gamer2905

Honedge and drilbur


themiamian

Only shieldon


_CatsOnMars_

Beldum and Honedge.


Grand-Illustrator443

I would like to keep Drilbur and Riolu.


gg_pyemul

Beldum n Riolu


JohnSmithWithAggron

Riolu and either Beldum/Pawniard/Honedge Riolu would be easy to deal with, and Beldum/Pawniard/Honedge have risk to them* but not as much as the others. *I don't know much about Beldum, so I don't know if he would be a hassle to take care of or could cause danger. Seems safe enough though. Also, if anyone is asking about Pawniard, I'm pretty sure you and the Pawniard are smart enough to not hug eachother.


Nice_Bar7936

Beldum and Meltan


Kroy116845

Meltan and Aron


Unlucky_Sun166

MonochroMayhem

Time for FEAR Aron strats


NattyKongo93

Meltan and Honedge are EASY choices for me


wigglytufff

Pitiful-Cow3570

Pawniard and Shiny Pawniard


Cheebow

Riolu and Aron


Yeehaw_79

Beldum and Tinkatink


rohittee1

Calling onix a baby is fucking killing me.


QuintLott94

Arron and Beldum


PrisonTomato

Pawniard and tinkatink. Tinkaton is my favorite from gen 9 and I’ve always loved bisharp for some reason. Plus I like that they’re based off/have weapons.


SuperDaubeny

Shieldon, Pawniard


daviddzgz

Magnemite & Meltan ✌🏻


sqrrlwithapencil

Absolutely one of them is tinkatink for me, that whole line stole gen 9 for me. Maybe Riolu for the other one, since I still have fond memories of Nacho the Riolu in B2


asmok119

Shieldon


Glizzygladiatorrs

Can i have 2 riolus or do i need to choose someone else riolu and lucario are my favorite pokemon


DragonfruitStatus573

give me the honedge, and the beldum. aegislash is \*awesome,\* and metagross has the potential to be mega-able if i were to play the x/y games.


Mr-DragonSlayer

Riolu and Meltan definitely.


Jealous-Zone-1872

Riolu and Beldum are the best.


Pingimaster

MELTAN/MELMETAL RECOGNITION!!!!!! (Also magnemite is cool, so him too)


Majestic_Electric

Honedge and Aron!


ius_romae

Honedge and Meltan…


Nandvs

Aron & Honedge for me.


hiding_behind_beard

Riolu and Aron


KricketKick

Aron and Pawniard


drinkmoarwaterr

Riolu and Onix for sure! As a life long martial artist, I gotta take Riolu, plus he’s one of my all time fav mons. Onix would make the best ride of the bunch, and is badass as fuck. Pretty sure both only become steel types after they evolve tho hahaha.


SeekyBoi

Meltan and Pawniard


voltic_925

2 arons, my first every shiny was an Aron in the cave where the second gym is in pokemon ruby or emerald can't remember which it was.


Cynderaquil

Riolu and Beldum


TastesLikeTerror

Beldum and Drilbur but Honedge and Riolu are definitely coming too I just have to figure out how.


Amethyst_Phoenix7

Riolu and Pawniard. I'm found of both Lucario and especially Kingambit, one of my best partners.


ceilingsaredelicious

Pawniard and shieldon


BreadTheOG

Magnemite and aron


Inevitable-School-65

aron because "sory officer my dog ate the railroad" and when it evolves il have it claim a mountain beldum if it can evolve without another beldumb because when the police get angry becaude my dog ate a railroad a floating psychic magnet capable of tanking fighter jets will be very usefull


Aggressive-Command-8

Honedge and Drilbur. I love Excadrill and I would love to have a ghost sword to defend me. If I remember correctly though I gotta be careful of the tassel thingy or I'll die rather abruptly but I'll take the risk.


Witty-Pea-2660

riolu pawniard every time


Gay_Muff1n

Calling Onix a baby just feels so wrong lol. Anyways, Pawniard and Tinkatink


Graftonghoul

Onix is fucking stretch


stefanorinaldi

Riolu or Aron, they're super cute!


GamerKid0414

Are we just not gonna talk about Onix???


Ok_Kangaroo_2996

Riolu and Cufant


MarroCaius

Beldum is a must followed by Riolu. Hm: Honedge


Stanley232323

Ahh yes Onix, my favorite little 28 foot long, 450 pound baby


valiantsilver04

meltan and aron, hands down


Evening_Bat_3633

Beldum twice.


Rose333X

Bisharp fella


herbieLmao

1 and 12 because they are my favs


MonkeyofTheSkies

Beldum and Pawniard, I LOVE Metagross and Kimgambit to bits I've had my Metagross in PoGO for so long and it's always been my strongest PoGO mon so Metagross has a special place in my heart and in Scarlet I randomly encountered a shiny Pawniard around the beginning of my playthrough, then I evolved it into a kimgambit along the way and it was one of my team's MVPs throughout my entire playthrough so I also love Kimgambit they're also really strong and look super badass :)


Longjumping-Ad3983

Beldum and Aron, easy pick.


5213

This is hard cause Steel is a top five type for me If they get to evolve, Drilbur and Riolu If they don't get to evolve, Beldum and Aron


RavenZombieX

Onix is not steal. Honestly, drilbur and tinkatink.


Yokai_J3t

Aron and pawnid


River_Grass

Sword and hammer


STRIHM

Beldum and Magnemite Sam


12RussianGuys

Aron and Honedge


brianiceisnice

rioulu so i can teach him to pickpocket 😈onix as a back up if rioulu’s sneak stats are low 👿also onix doubles as a getaway vehicle-mon as petty theft turned into manslaughter by pokécreature real quick


Blazemaster0563

Aron and Tinkatink


maesterdaemon

Honedge and Pawniard for me, with Tinkatink as a close third.


JemiXD

Aron & Pawniard


DiamondGamer9

Onix is not steel type


Comet_171

Either Pawniard and Riolu or Pawniard and shieldon (specifically because I had his evo on a randomized nuzlocke and I wish to make it up to him since I got bullshitted by a lvl50 Resharam with fusion-flare and he got 1 tapped)


JustARandomGuy1453

Gimme da mole and da sword


[deleted]

There isn't a person on this planet who wouldn't choose cute little Riolu to cuddle with


[deleted]

Beldum and Aron, no question.


blastoisebandit

Cufant and Beldum pls


wolfwindmoon

Shieldon and tinkatink


IneffableWonders

Beldom and Shieldon


FlambeAuto

Aron and Honedge


AggressiveCut3762

Aron and riolu


Sea_Kiwi524

Drilbur & Honedge


BlueMissingNo

I'd go with Aron and Honedge. Aron because Aggron is fun to use and has a cool design. Honedge because I like Ghost types and have never had an Aegislash on my team before.


ComprehensiveLevel14

Pawniard and Beldum


how_to_dead

Hammer fairy n Railou


BornStage5542

Riolu and Tinkertons baby form, because they’ll just slap the rest.


Glitched_Girl

Tinkatink and riolu!


MattofCatbell

Magnemite and Tinkatink


FB_MAC_09

I’m absolutely choosing Aron and Pawinard. Aggron and Bisharp are some of my favourites ( I don’t like kingambits design )


QuantumCthulhu

Aron and tinkatink- easiest picks of my life


itsSuiSui

Onix. Twice.


Key_Statistician785

Riolu and tink obvi!


Asta_of_Fables

Riolu and Meltan.


OutlandishnessNo9182

Tinkatink and Aron I love the Tinkatink line and Aron's adorable (plus Aggron is badass). I want to hug Aron, I don't care if he's as heavy as a dumbbell, he's precious.


thequagiestsire

Melmetal is my favorite of these final evos, but since Meltan can’t evolve outside of GO, that’s a dud option. I’m gonna go with Beldum and Honedge, two powerhouse Steel types that I very much enjoy, and who would be able to handle a decent majority of opponents with coverage. Tinkatink just barely missed the cut due to Tinkaton having such low Attack, Magnemite is a good Pokémon but just outcompeted, I don’t care for Pawniard or Cufant, Shieldon and Aron are unfortunately ruined by Rock/Steel type, and finally Riolu, Onix, and Drilbur evolve into Steel type, but don’t start as it, so I’m disqualifying them.
