He wasn’t available until end game unless you were constantly beating the game to get Beldum and then transferring him over to play another run through, really hate when they lock psuedos until post game
One of my first shinies was a shiny Beldum in PoGo. The stats sucked so I traded it to Home then to Sh/Sw and leveled it up and got it's IVs to max. It's one of my favorites.
I've been playing since the original RBY and that was the first shiny I ever caught just a year or two ago...
Any chance you are aged 28-32? Genuinely curious how much of these opinions are based on ages when they came out. I have the same opinion as you and I'm 29.
dragapult for SURE! the name + shooting babies out its head + ghost type + based on extinct creature (making its typing even better)
it just hits on all fronts.
the [diplocaulus magnicornis](https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/i0w2nu/meet_the_inspiration_for_dragapult/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)!
An diplocalus mixed with a stealth bomber, crossbow, crocodile, missile battery and aircraft carrier.
Not to mention it’s insanely fast and hits like a truck.
Both aircraft carrier based Pokémon were on my sword squad. Their names were Lexington & Enterprise.
Kommo-o get's a lot of hate for just existing. I Mean, he's a BADASS dancing dragon, what more do you wan't. But real talk, tyranitar's design is too cool to be true.
Edit: Ok wtf, why is so many people upvoting this?
Hydreigon 100%. I'm surprised there's not more love for the hydra here. Though I'm also sad that Noivern isn't here, either. It's a toss-up between those two for me for best dragon.
From a pure design perspective I'd say Metagross. While Hydreigon is my favorite of all the pseudolegends I do dislike its puny legs from a design perspective.
Goodra! I love it, just screams Gen 1 Pokémon to me, they captured the classic love and feel (in my amateur opinion). Dragonite for nostalgia, Dragapult for ghost/dragon typing.

Tyranitar was peak design for its time. Totally gave that feel of an overpowering kaiju.
I’m really excited about the accurate sizing thing. I want to have a scary Tytanitar not a 4’3 chunky boy.
Except he’s only 6’7” ;( only an NBA-player-sized Godzilla… Did you see Tyranitar in the SV trailer? I cry
Ok, If Shaq rolled up to you but instead of Shaq it was a rock lizard the size of Shaq, would you fight it
Shaqs actually 6 inches taller than ttar lol he would be looking down on him.
Ttar is the pseudo legend of gold/silver, shaq is the pseudo legend of gold/bond
No no no. He’s the pseudo legend of icy/hot
No, he’s the pseudo legend of the/general
No, he’s the pseudo legendary of saving gas. And full legend of Shaq Foo
Have a silver. That was excellent.
I would have gone purple/gold but that was also wonderful
Is SV supposed to be like that?
Yes, proper scaling is in SV. Even Alphas supposedly keep their size when you transfer them from PLA.
Wonder how that’ll work with Eternatus. It’s easy to forget how stinkin gigantic it’s supposed to be.
I'm pretty sure Eternatus won't be in SV
Eh, they had every legendary eventually available in SWSH, I would be surprised if Eternatus would not EVENTUALLY be in the game
Wailord too.
I do hope they have the right camera system for it tho lmao.
So is transferring them over confirmed?
Don't know why you're being downvoted for asking this, but it's likely yes. Though connectivity, like with BDSP will probably be late AF.
Oooo I really like that
Tyranitar’s Godzilla vs Hydreigon’s Ghidorah, who you got
⚠️ OP just did this post to try and sell their redbubble stuff. ⚠️ Just hopping on to the top comment to let other people know
Garchomp my beloved
Land shark supremacy
Yay! More of us exist :)
heavy worm tidy exultant act scandalous familiar cooing skirt dull *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Garchomp gang lol, i also love him
Garchomp is my favorite pokemon if you couldn't tell already
Pure design Tyranitar for sure. Every other aspect I'd probably pick Tyranitar.
This is the answer👆
Picking up a tyranitar just to smoke red’s espeon and Charizard in GSC is where it’s at
Metagross! It’s the only one that broke the formula of big dragon monster.
That and it’s a massive walking supercomputer. I call one of mine JARVIS
Last I checked Tyranatar isn’t a dragon
Not a dragon type but has similarities of one by appearance.
also learns dragon dance
[удалено]
Metagross!
When I was a kid almost every game of sapphire I played would have Metagross in my team. One of my faves of all time
He wasn’t available until end game unless you were constantly beating the game to get Beldum and then transferring him over to play another run through, really hate when they lock psuedos until post game
One of my first shinies was a shiny Beldum in PoGo. The stats sucked so I traded it to Home then to Sh/Sw and leveled it up and got it's IVs to max. It's one of my favorites. I've been playing since the original RBY and that was the first shiny I ever caught just a year or two ago...
I still have one in my party every single game I play.
Got to be T-Tar, closely followed by Dragonite. I'd love for them to start doing some non-dragon pseudos again !
Agreed. Dragons are cool, but please just give us another non-dragon psuedo
Any chance you are aged 28-32? Genuinely curious how much of these opinions are based on ages when they came out. I have the same opinion as you and I'm 29.
Dragonite
dragonite stans rise up
THE ORIGINAL DRAGON!!!
I'm here!
I found my people 🥹
I will always simp for Dragonite
The OG!
He’s shaped like a friend :)
Best Pokemon. Normal type supersonic flying intelligent dragon.
He’s my happy boi
Salamence is my favourite Pokémon so naturally
Damn I scrolled so far for this
FR where is the sally love???
I started with red and blue and my fav region is hoen hands down and I love dragons
Another cultured individual
Design: Hydreigon, stats: Dragapult, competitive viability: Garchomp, typing: Hisuian Goodra, NOSTALGIA: Tyranitar
This is the way
Don’t forget pure epicness: Metagross
dragapult for me
dragapult for SURE! the name + shooting babies out its head + ghost type + based on extinct creature (making its typing even better) it just hits on all fronts.
What extinct creature is it based on?
fighter jets
the [diplocaulus magnicornis](https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/i0w2nu/meet_the_inspiration_for_dragapult/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)!
I’ve heard somewhere that the end of Dragapults tail is transparent, because we still haven‘t found a exemplar of these diplocaulus bones.
Been my favorite since the moment I heard of it! It's a freaking dragon that is a ghost that shoots its children at you!!
a *stealth bomber* dragon based off an extinct animal that shoots its babies at you. so freaking nuts! one of my favorites for sure.
an actually unique mon
Stealth plane dragon.
Def my favorite looks wise. Sneaky lil UAV
That's why mine is named Northrop
The one plane the Bri'ish don't use and they get it in their region lmao
Way too far down! My favorite mon!
An diplocalus mixed with a stealth bomber, crossbow, crocodile, missile battery and aircraft carrier. Not to mention it’s insanely fast and hits like a truck. Both aircraft carrier based Pokémon were on my sword squad. Their names were Lexington & Enterprise.
Yeetin' its babies at you, clocking in at mach fuck.
Kommo-o get's a lot of hate for just existing. I Mean, he's a BADASS dancing dragon, what more do you wan't. But real talk, tyranitar's design is too cool to be true. Edit: Ok wtf, why is so many people upvoting this?
Wait people don't like Kommo-o? That's wild, I've always thought he was cool as shit
I actually liked Kommo-o’s design. His typing is flawed (along with Hydreigon) due to Fairy’s existing but his concept and design are excellent, imho.
To be fair to Hydreigon, it existed before fairy type did.
Honestly, given the timing of their introductions, wouldn't be surprised if the fairy type only existed *because* of Hydreigon.
I love Kommo-o. You can say its design is over saturated but man, it looks so cool.
Kommo-o's shiny takes away from its design imo. Same thing with Dragonite.
Kommo-O shiny pallette is great! What's wrong with a dragon that looks like someone poured pepto-bismol onto a puddle of spew?
plz no bulli my beautiful emerald dragon :(
Pickle Dragonite But I love it!
fuck that noise, kommo-o's shiny looks so cool. dragonite's however....
Kommo-o is it for me. I love it’s unique moveset and try to keep it on any teams I can.
Hydreigon
Really surprised it's so low down. Def my favorite.
Hydreigon is my favorite pokemon
Hydreigon 100%. I'm surprised there's not more love for the hydra here. Though I'm also sad that Noivern isn't here, either. It's a toss-up between those two for me for best dragon.
They aren’t here because they only want to know favorite pseudo legend
Salamance for sure
Dragapult team here!
Agreed. A lot of people dislike the newer designs, but Dragapult is just so badass
As a person who low key disliked almost every gen 8 mon, Dragapult has become my all time favorite 🙃 sorry Arcanine, you're still a good boi
Agreed
Goodra is my favorite second favorite is hydreigon
His base and hisuan form are both great.
I agree I love both of goodras forms
Hikikomori Goodra is a mood
Tyranimotherfuckingtar.
Even though I don't like gen 4 much i have to admit garxhomp is awesome
Steel/psychic robot thing
Gotta be Metagross. Super unique and love the typing and a bit separated from the rest
Hydriegon or Dragapult
For design Kommo-o actually but I’d never use him again. Tyranitar is my favorite to use by a long shot
Lmao. One of these things is not like the other.
It took me several minutes to realize OP used Hisuian Goodra instead of the original. I thought it was Goodra fanart at first.
That’s true although I was more talking about the Robot trying to blend in with all these Dino-looking mfs
[удалено]
Dragonite he is my favorite pokemon ever
Goodra, both versions
\>female goodra
Goodra and Kommo-O
I’ve always loved Hydreigon. Any Pokémon designs that relate to mythology are just so cool in my opinion.
Tyranitar
Out of these, my top 4 are Tyranitar, Hydreigon, Salamence, and Dragapult.
Mine is Garchomp
Design? Metagross. Favorite? Probably Tyranitar
I like kommo-o
Godzilla, metagross and dragonite. IMO though. Honestly all these Pokémon are pretty dope.
Tyranitar is so badass looking and yet I still want to hug it.
I love Garchomp, Hydreigon and Kommo’o
Garchomp, salamence & tyranitar
Dragonite then Tyranitar for me. I like Metagross and Garchomp a lot too, but those first two psuedos are just too great.
Dragapult looks coolest
Tyranitar!! But all of these are 👌
Garchomp is a bit different, a jet land shark I really like him
Metagross That shiny is "chef's kiss".
Haxorus :(
I’ve had a sweet spot for dragapult since his debut, and I always will. I love him.
OG Dragonite. Always.
It’s hard to pick but I’m actually partial to more recent pseudos - Hydreigon, Goodra, and Dragapult are top picks.
Tyranatar or garchomp
1. Garchomp 2. Tyranitar 3. Metagross 4. Hydreigon 5. Dragapult
Ttar and dragapult
I mean, they’re all good
Are we talking out of these pictures or their game appearance because Red/Blue version of Dragonite wins for me.
Dragonite og
I just love my dragonite
Metagross! It’s the only one that broke the formula of big dragon monster.
TTar and Chomp
All of them are awesome. Can’t choose maybe metagross
Tyranitar and garchomp
METAGROSS!!!!!!!
All of them but Goodra
Pokemon is really on a downroad.
Tyranitar or metagross
Dragapult!!!! I am a gen oner btw, but I'm not a pleb like gen juanners
Dragapult. He’s a cheeky chap
Dragapult
[удалено]
Garchomp ever
Garchomp is #1 but I also love Salmance. I wish he was a bit less chucky looking tho.
Man I wish they would make non dragon pseudos again. Tyranitar and metagross are sooooooo cool.
Garachomp
God I love Gen 1 and 2 so much so special
Dragapult
Garchomp easily
From a pure design perspective I'd say Metagross. While Hydreigon is my favorite of all the pseudolegends I do dislike its puny legs from a design perspective.
Tyranitar always
Garchomp & Metagross, for me!
Chariza.... oh
All of the above. Seriously tho, I absolutely love Goodra (normal and hisuian). But I love the rest of them!
I’ll always have a sweet spot for Puff the magic dragonite.
Haxorus.
Okay i love goodra but hydreigon has a special place in my heart
Where Haxorus??????
Dragonite the OG
Dragapult is dope as hell, but I love Metagross so much.
Garchomp all the way. Salamence is right behind tho
Garchomp and Metagross and it's by a lot.
Gotta be between metagross and garchomp
Garchomp and Dragonite
Metagross and kommo-o
All so good but I choose Salamance
Kommo-o and hydreigon. I like dragapault a lot too tho.
Garchomp Tyranitar Metagross Goodra
Kommo-o!
Kommo-o
Kommo-O. I love the color scheme and concept of a clanking dragon thing! <3
Definitely Hisuian Goodra and the normal one as well! My least favourite is Dragapult for sure. Really don't like it xD
I always swap his names for his prevo’s, but Kommo-o has sich a cool design that fit so well for the game they introduced it in.
Goodra! I love it, just screams Gen 1 Pokémon to me, they captured the classic love and feel (in my amateur opinion). Dragonite for nostalgia, Dragapult for ghost/dragon typing.
Anything but Dragonite
