And finally this great list comes to a close... on this page, you will see who wins!

Number Name Reason
11/10 - So epic that they get a better than perfect rating!
10
Flygon
When I first saw Trapinch, I thought it was just going to be one of those boring, average Pokemon that fill up the Pokedex. Of course, when I evolved it and saw 'Ground/Dragon' and high Attack and Speed stats, I thought that I should train Trapinch to evolve it into a Flygon... But anyway, Flygon looks really epic - both cool and kinda cute. Although I wish Flygon was Bug/Dragon (because I like Bug-types!), Flygon probably wouldn't be such a complete powerhouse (no STAB on Earthquake).

Fun Fact: Every one of Vibrava's base stats go up by 30 upon evolution.
9
Scizor
With nine resistances and only one weakness, alongside decent defensive stats and massive offensive stats, plus good moves including a Technician-boosted STAB Bullet Punch to cover up its low speed, Scizor is a dominating force in the OU metagame. Scizor has an awesome design, and it combines two of my favourite types together as well!

Fun Fact: According to the anime, Scyther hates the colour red, but when Scyther evolves it becomes a red Scizor...
8
Breloom
Breloom is my favourite Grass type, and also my favourite Fighting type for multiple reasons. The main reason is that Breloom looks really cute and awesome, and is a pretty original design. I also really like Breloom because of its massive power and unique fighting style - Spore and Focus Punch for the win! Breloom also has the ability Poison Heal and the Toxic Orb item to heal itself even more - epic!

Fun Fact: Breloom has the highest Attack of all Grass-types, and of all Fighting-types (alongside Machamp).
7
Starmie
Starmie is probably the most reliable and useful Pokemon that I've ever used... the combination of speed, power, and movepool is why; Surf, Thunderbolt, Ice Beam and Psychic has 6-0'd many of my friends with little effort, even those that EV train their Pokemon. But it's not just the massive amount of power that Starmie has; Starmie also looks very cool, colourful and (somewhat) creative.

Fun Fact: Starmie is one of four Pokemon who have been OU in R/B, G/S, R/S and D/P. Starmie is also the fastest Water-type, tied with Floatzel. I hope Starmie is still OU in B/W!
6
Shuckle
When i first saw Shuckle, I thought it was just one of those Pokemon that I would throw away into the box. But Shuckle is not one of those Pokemon, because of those massive defenses (base 230?! holy shit!). It's not only that, but Shuckle is REALLY CUTE and is also like a turtle, which makes it awesome! Shuckle is actually one of those few Pokemon who I've raised to level 100 (It has 614 defense... o_O).

Fun Fact: Shuckle is one of Tom's favourite Pokemon of all time!
Also, isn't Shiny Shuckle just so cute?

Number Name Reason
5
Lanturn
My original opinion of Lanturn was, like many other Pokemon, that it was another crappy weak Pokemon that should never be trained... but Lanturn grew on me, with its cute and happy smile, its good movepool, and the fact that it isn't completely useless in battle....... that's why Lanturn ranks so highly. Lanturn's real-life basis is really ugly, so I'm surprised that GameFreak managed to turn a big ugly monster into this cute little fish!

Fun Fact: Lanturn is one of two fully evolved Pokemon who resist the BoltBeam combination [Electric and Ice]. The other is Magnezone.
4
Togepi
Like Lanturn, I thought Togepi was one of those many Pokemon who were worthless, but eventually grew on me. Togepi is so cute, and it ranked as my #1 favourite for a very long time! Togepi may be worthless in battle, but it's just so cute that it ranks this high!

Fun Fact: Togepi can learn Fire Blast =o








3
Ninetales
I'm actually quite surprised that it got this far in the list, further than previous favourites like Magcargo, Togepi, Lanturn, Starmie, etc. Ninetales ranks #3 in this list, and is also my favourite Fire-type for multiple reasons: Ninetales is cute and has a nice design, Ninetales isn't useless in battle and can use some pretty powerful moves, and that Ninetales learns Nasty Plot, which is so epic! Ninetales has an awesome and original design basis, 'kitsune', which is a Japanese legend that foxes with many tails can breath fire, create illusions and have a long lifespan.

Fun Fact: Ninetales name has been spelled many different ways, such as Nine Tales [originally, before R/B] and Ninetails [TCG error]
2
Porygon2
Porygon2 is far different from the other Middle-evolution Pokemon; while most middle evolution pokemon aren't as cute as the first stage or as cool as the last stage, Porygon2 is completely different. I think that Porygon2 is a lot cuter than Porygon, and cooler than Porygon-Z. Porygon2 has quite a big movepool, and has great stats - Tri Attack, Thunderbolt, Ice Beam, Signal Beam, etc. Porygon2 is very cool. Porygon2 can also serve as a counter to Pokemon like Salamence and Gyarados (switching in on Intimidate, tracing it and throwing Intimidate back at it, then surviving a hit and using Ice Beam/Thunderbolt). Porygon2 is very cute, awesome, and that's why it ranks #2.

Fun Fact: In Gen II, it is impossible to return a nicknamed Porygon2 to its original (species) name, as the numeral 2 is not available for a nickname character.

Latias
Latias is my favourite Pokemon of all; not because it's legendary, not because it's Dragon-type, but because it combines cuteness, awesomeness and massive power all together into one epic Pokemon! Latias has a massive movepool - Dragon Pulse, Psychic, Thunderbolt, Ice Beam, Grass Knot, Shadow Ball, Thunder Wave, Surf, Wish, Recover, Roost, Refresh, etc., and Latias also has all the stats to use them with. Latias even gets its own item (with Latios), the Soul Dew, which acts pretty much like an instant Calm Mind! Latias has an awesome unique design basis and is one of those pairings that GameFreak didn't screw over (like Gorebyss/Huntail). Latias combines all the factors of awesomeness and is thus, my number one.
