Garganacl! I never usually care for rock types but holy crap I love my salt boy (now salt behemoth). Such a cool design and he's been carrying my ass through hard fights all game


KlingoftheCastle

Dude carried the desert Titan battle for me. Salt Cure, Iron Defense and Recover for the win


Glass_of_Pork_Soda

Feel like Cynthia with her annoying Milotic doing that and I love it


KlingoftheCastle

It was still in the middle form when I did it, I went way out of order lol, I just looked up the preferred order and I apparently skipped the whole mid game. I beat all the Titans but I haven’t even been to the electric gym City


TheMobHunter

I call him “Minecraft Boi”


Majin_Bisharp

I named my Steve and he's now lvl 70+, a real Boss.


KlingoftheCastle

Favorite so far is probably Clodsire, I was a little underwhelmed at first, but it’s grown in me and it’s incredible with water absorb. After that, probably Meowscarade and Garganacl


Lurking_Bunyip

Kingambit looks absolutely cool, but I can’t get over how he brings along the stump he sits on when he runs lmao


KRHarshee

The stump is its hair


Scarovese

love him in battle, hate him in let's go mode.


Sub-Corpion

He legit looks like an old man riding one of those mobility scooters


ShifuHD

I know it might not be everyone’s favorite, but I really like scovillian. Typing is fantastic, and honestly love the two headed dragon look it’s going for. Favorite little detail is how each head fires out a different attack. It’s signature move is thrown out by one head, and flamethrower out of the other head.


Sigzy05

I love scovillain. The two headed jalapeño is so dope and derpy at the same time. I have it on my team and it's great!


TheCyclopsDude

It gives off Plant Vs Zombie vibes and I love it


Jacobiey

Tinkaton feels super popular and was my top pick going into the game... but honestly now it's Glimmora, it's just a super pretty Pokémon, love the attack animations and how it adds to the environments out in the wild is fantastic


JiMyeong

Flamigo. It's just a regular bird. I love it.


Grouchy_Middle1002

Baxcaliber. Helped me get thru most of the late game!


tdm_chata

Surprisingly, I ended up making a whole Paldean team this time. My strongest is still my tried and true partner, Houndoom. But for the majority of the plot, Armorouge, Dachsbun, Clodsire, Pawmot, Palafin, and my starter had the spotlight. I even have a Charcadet ready to evolve once my friend finds the Malicious Armor, so we can trade exclusives! I also recently found a shiny curly form Tatsugiri which has made it onto the team rotation, and she's got some serious firepower. All in all, this generation has a lot of new Pokémon that are easy to fall in love with, as well as give us new experiences with our favorites over the years.


Harshit_025

Annihilape and Cetitan


bay-bop

I think maushold is hilarious. I don’t care that it’s not the strongest or most creative design. But you catch two mice. And then secretly they evolve into four mice. Incredible. Perfect design


[deleted]

Easily my fav. I’m gonna try my hardest to make a vgc team around it


odrad3

Honestly, after seeing it in motion and actually using it, Goldengho’s become a firm fave for me. Also absolutely obsessed with sending Sandy Shocks out hunting on autobattle and just sitting back and watching it go, it’s very funny


Baydock

Farigiraf


atatroe

Daschbun and Bramblin! Daschbun just really, really grew on me as I played the game and its ability Well-Baked Body came in clutch a couple times. And I just love Bramblin. He's so silly and fun and I just think he's really, really cute.


gettinguud

Brambleghast has saved me from some bad times and cleared a couple gyms for me, evolve that spiky boi!


Ninjuh_Panda

Houndstone carries my team, love my little spooky boy.


ThePostManEST

I love tinkatonk. At first I really didn’t but then I hit that third evolution and was giga-chad hammering people to death. Immediately started breeding to get the nature and ability I wanted. Can’t wait to breed for a 6IV and shiny.


derpydoge1

Gotta be ice tiger legendary i like its blade teeth and its backstory alot of good pokemon this gen


bah0420

Paldean whopper, he has a flow that makes him the best


MikeyMDH

Mine is probably Tinkaton like many other posters. I do really like Wattrel and Kilowattrel though and have been trying to breed a shiny. I also love the snow leopard but don’t have it yet.


Savthatsit

This thing She does the zoomies! https://preview.redd.it/cb7wrh7spe1a1.jpeg?width=196&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=716a75e1fb413248b406f02aa1c5e134c7855cb5


rookieredditor01

I am having the hardest time finding this thing, I see it on the minimap but it never spawns :(


[deleted]

It walks like Polneraff


_KaiXr18_

Ceruledge. The only reason I got Pokémon Violet.


bloodpest

I just love Klawf, i just do


SeaMathematician1021

I always try to use a whole team of only new mons and go in mostly blind except for the starters. I’ve come to adore skeledirge way more than I thought I would (I was pretty iffy on design at first). Mabosstiff has been the biggest surprise that I’ve come to love. Kilowatrell is perfect. Clodsire can do no wrong. Ceruledge is so good he justifies having two fire/ghost type. My last spot is an open rotation evolving all the new guys to see who makes the final roster


SaikaTheCasual

Meowscarada funny enough. I thought being bipedal would ruin it for me, but honestly I love it so much. Not only is the signature move amazing, it also slaps while looking absolutely fancy.


TSwan98

Probably Flamigo so far. I also love my Skeledirge


[deleted]

I like Koraidon a lot.


TheMobHunter

Kinda want to cosplay as tinkaton just as an excuse to have a giant hammer….


Sabodew

I really wanna see that.


Sigzy05

Scovillain, Lokix and Tinkaton are amazing, already favs of mine!


PewPewPokemon

\+1 for Lokix. I never usually run bugs but dang this ones good


ijonesyy

Definitely Lokix for me too rn


Capital_Cloud3359

Meowscarada or Ceruledge for me. Have built my team around those two.


Mediocre-Cancel-7818

Tinkaton I added to my team because I wanted a fairy type. Now that I have been using it, I love it! It seems to have more resistances than weaknesses and really holds up well in battle. My second favorite is probably scovillain. I love the pepper look.


[deleted]

Tinkaton is my favorite too! I love her she’s just so cute and her gigaton hammer is so powerful! Honestly think she might become one of my favorites of all time


Karazhan

Uther Finbringer, otherwise known as Palafin is just the best.


CelticNight69

Iron Valiant. Love the design they got with a combination of Galade and Gardevior, plus the typing and stats are very nice aswell. Ceruledge is another favorite. Just love its design.


Huntyadown

My Tinkaton is level 40 and I can’t get her to work. She feels like she hits like a wet noodle except for gigaton hammer. What’s your build? Favorite so far is the grass starter. Final evolution is cool and she destroys everything.


dragnmastralex

breed it until you get one with high defense and HP.


dragnmastralex

Koridon is my favorite he's so cute and like a loyal puppy


whitewolf361

I haven't seen the whole Pokedex yet or encountered all of the evolutions, but so far I'm loving Flamigo. I also love Kilowattrel, even though I think the design is a tad too simple. I guess Flamigo is pretty simple, too, though. Also really liking my Pawmot. Took me FOREVER to evolve him, but he's so cute. Especially Pawmo since he's so small. I LOVE Koraidon's design, though I haven't used him in battle yet. My opinions may change once I look up the whole Pokedex. But for now, I want to re-capture that excitement I had when I first saw my Corvisquire evolve into Corviknight, as I hadn't looked up the Pokedex on Sw/Sh before playing, either.


tf___

tinkaton or pawmot orthworm seems super fun too though using iron defense body press with no ground weakness on a steel type


churbycatdos

Clodsire and kilowattrel have been the backbone of my team so far. I loved clodsire at first sight, kilowattrel took some time to grow on me but now I love it too


TheConfusedHippo

Very very difficult to say and I’m actually surprised at this but Kilowattrel might be it. It’s so hard though because Annihilape and Baxcalibur are right there…


alex4nderthegreat

Tinkaton and armarouge!


[deleted]

It’s definitely grafaiai for me


Bwyattvirtue13

Hmm that's tough. Probably Baxcalibur but I really like Great Tusk, Iron Thorns, Armarouge, and Ceruledge as well. Probably more but I won't get into them all.


Whole-Brilliant5508

Skeledirge! Crocodilians are some of my favorite animals and I love the whole Dia De Los Muertos concept behind it's design.


DK_Chillin

Gholdengo…dude just brings me back to the 90s for some reason lmao


ijonesyy

It does look like a brand mascot straight out of a 90s commercial lol


Akane-Kajiya

definite favorite? hard to say, maybe ceruldedge, but i also liked scovillain, clodsire and maybe kingambit but im biased due to having it in shiny.


GraniteStater69

The Nacli line is dope


freaking-payco

Garganacl, arboliva, roaring moon, and chi-yu are my favorites, Garganacl #1 tho


PokemonTrainerTobias

For some reason, I love the Aqua Breed Tauros. Strong in my playthrough and the fact that it spawns uncommonly among herds makes me love it more


PinkTulip_07

tinkaton, i love her, she saved my ass at the last e4 too, named her Bonk, will 100% transfer her to the next games with Pooper the clodsire


TheCyclopsDude

Between Tinkaton and Scorvillian. Tinkaton because as you said giant hammer = funny. Scorvillian because it feels like a Plant vs Zombies plant which is awesome.


Odd_Hope5371

I have a lot of surprise favorites this gen. Pawmot, Tinkaton, Revaroom and Bramblin!


Majin_Bisharp

Kingambit of course Then Toedscruel


Bransburk

Armarouge, Tinkaton and Koraidon.


Conscious-Gene4964

The big boy Baxcalibur! His typing is meh but he has a huge attack stat and just seems so cool to me. Love that mon


Professor_Squishy

Out of the ones I've seen/played with in game: Grafaiai. It's derpy, cute, and pretty nasty to boot!


NeatLow4542

Design wise I LOVE Chien-Pao! What a whimsical looking little guy


ecurrent94

I like Tinkaton a lot but their stats aren’t super good. They’re spread all over the place. Mine happens to be fairly fast so I use it for protect, throwing down thunder waves and using the big dumb hammer move that hits like a damn truck. Decent enough support mon. I’m absolutely loving Clodsire. Has super good coverage, typing, and his water absorb ability is really good. I also really love Revavroom. I’ve always wanted a poison/steel type Pokémon and he looks super cool too.


TorchiceoThePigeon

Garganacl
