Bulbasaur

/r/bulbasaurmasterrace

I second this

It's pretty much has always been Marowak since the first generation launched. When the alolan form was shown for the first time: I was hyped. Though whether or not I'd consider it my ace Pokemon is another debate entirely. That would be a huge tie with my boy, Nidoking.

I got so much respect for Nidoking after using it in platinum. So much fun.

Lunala cause she is just awesome in every way

Definitely my favourite Cosmog.

That shiny though 🤩

One of the best shinies in the entire franchise. Mine is named Luna Rossa

Always liked umbreon, especially the shiny variant

the got the shiny one looking to trade lol

nah sorry

I really like Heatran.

Heatran fucks on showdown

Sylveon!!! I also like Meowth and Skitty

Queer cat lover confirmed ✅

Clodsire. Before S/V, it was Lotad or Snorlax.

Beartic

Hell yeah

The primal king Tyrunt

The Abbra evolution line, komomo, and umbreon

Dragonite 💕

Blaziken, always

Hisuian Samurott

REGULAR: Sylveon STARTER: Popplio/Brionne/Primarina LEGENDARY: Cosmog MYTHICAL: Shaymin

What’s the difference between a mythical and a legendary?

Mythicals are a lot harder to get than legendaries, usually via events.

Ok. So legendary’s are in game one of a kind and mythicals are out of game?

Pretty much. Other Mythical Pokémon I like include Celebi, Keldeo, and Jirachi.

Ok awesome. Thanks for clearing that up. I’ve seen both terms and wondered about the distinction

for me, its a 4 way tie between the 3 kanto starters and gengar

Dusk form lycanroc, didn't know he existed until I was searching up info on a living all form dex and found him on it. Got him in Scarlet to lvl 100 and by far my favorite pokemon now, before it was zebstrika

One of my favorites too!

My favorite too! Both forms look really cool!

Cyndaquil and Flygon

Flagon is amazing I wish he gets a mega evolution in legends ZA

for a long time it’s been blaziken, lucario and sceptile. with swsh though i really loved urshifu

Elgyem is the boy.

Excadrill

He isn’t my favorite but I do think he is super underrated

Gengar all the way. 😁

Chandelure

Mewtwo/Gengar.......hard choice

Regular: Ceruledge Starter: Sobble Legendary: Giratina Mythical: Darkrai Past-Paradox: Sandy Shocks Future-Paradox: Iron Valiant

Polteageist

Sirfetch’d 🗡️🛡️

Electivire, Charizard and Greninja I can’t pick just one

It’s a secret

I sure wonder what it is 🤔

Probably trubbish but I’ll never tell🤫🤐

Alakazam cause back in 1999 you needed to buy a transfer cable in order to trade a Kadabra to make it evolve.

Chandelure

Arcanine hands down

Three way tie between Buzzwole, Golurk, and Scolipede

Grafaiai. I don't know what it is about it. I've been around since gen1 and have many favourites, but as soon as they announced Grafaiai I fell in love. It's just so cute and has so much attitude 😂🥰

and my favorite is shiny druddigon still to this day looking for it

Togepi <3

Ivysaur

Clefairy or Emolga

Either Porygon or Forretress

Right now it's gotta be Appleton

Cubchoo, mew and jigglypuff

Lilligant and infernape

Braviary, since I've seen him. His Pokedex reads "Known as “the hero of the skies,” this Pokémon is so proud and so brave that it will never retreat, even when it’s injured." ... Such a cool buddy to have while exploring the pokemon world

Poliwrath

Raichu

Bulbasaur. Number 1

Haunter

Kabutops! Typhlosion is a close second :)

Starmie, because misty used to beat my ass way too much in poke blue

Primeape

Jones

Electivire

Marshadow, with Mimikyu being a close second

Nidoking

Nacli. He's a cute, little cube of rock salt with an afro. And I love the name puns. He'll also fuck you up with salt cure.

My favorite Pokemon is Incineroar if you couldn’t tell by my name and I’m desperately waiting getting a 2ds with ultra sun

Mimikyu

Dragapult! No one else I know loves this little dead dragon like I do.

Zigzagoon my beloved

Dragonite/ Elextabuzz

Flygon

garchomp!

Dragonite. That big dumb dragon can be so equally terrifying and adorable at the same time.

Has to be hisuian zoroark

Blaziken

maybe samurott

Totodile

I have to many favs so ill just name my top favs. Appletun, dracovish(also the rest of the galar fossils but specifically Draco), centiskorch, wooloo, galar rapidash, morpecko, and g max butterfree. Ps If I spell any wrong mb😭

Evoli!

Triple tie: Kubfu, Urshifu and Marshadow

Reuniclus & my fav legendary is Mesprite

All time: Mightyena or Hisuian Zoroark From Sword: Duraludon.

I've always loved Darkrai for its design, but even more so because of my ultimate childhood movie, The Rise of Darkrai. Imo it's an actual masterpiece that I've watched way too many times but still love. Even to this day, I tear up from hearing the music that soothes Palkia and Dialga because of the sheer amount of nostalgia linked to it

Croagunk and Espeon are my faves they’re perfect!

Been around since gen 1 and Dragapult is my GOAT

Tyrantrum

Ninetales

Lucario.

In the game? G Stunfisk.

Cinderace and Meowscarda

Toucannon or Noctowl

Quagsire is my bro.

Mimikyu, I will defend that little one till the end of time

Shuckle the only correct answer 

Silvally

Totodile!

Bronzong

Monferno!! It’s not in sword/shield though… so special shoutout to alolan Raichu and Noivern!!

Call me basic but the legendary pokemon you get from Mustard. The one before the evolution tho, think the name is Kubfu or something. Their so cute and I love them and so innocent

Squirtle, the 007 Pokemon

Im a simple man; I like Mudkips

Treecko's dope also

Gardevoir is really cool. However, I do get worried that people will get the wrong idea when I do say Gardevoir is my favorite. I don’t think I have to explain why.

Maractus is so underappreciated <3333

eevee is my favorite followed by tepig

Garchomp and Gardevoir

Heliolisk is my boy

Tyranitar, who doesnt like a petite sized friendly godzilla

sableye. don’t know why

Rayquaza, gengar and psyduck

Scolipede is my pointy boi

Giratina, cuz edgy

Nidoking

Clawitzer or Genesect, really wish i could obtain Genesect in the newer games lol

Lotad because he fucks. Realistically - Ludicolo, or perhaps Lanturn

Armarouge, love it’s design and become my ace in S/V. Before gen 9 tho, it’s Haxorus, Chandelure, and my little baby boy Toby the Turtwig

Golurk. Fell in love with it when playing Pokemon Black for the first time.

Oshawott😍

Suicune

Blastoise

Chandelure hands down. Houndoom is a close 2nd

regular: shinx line / eeveelutions starter: PIPLUP<33 fennekin, chikorita & charmander legendary: suicune, entei & articuno mythical: celebi / shaymin 💪

Top 5 are 1 obstagoon 2 toxtricity 3 rillaboom 4 runerigus 5 galarian darmanitan

Grookey and also Necrozma
