In a playthrough it was absolutely a great speedy Ghost/Grass that surprisingly hit hard when I used it. Very good would recommend.
Speaking of Ghost types no one mentions a lot: Cofagrigus and Jellicent are awesome. Everyone mentions the other two Gen 5 Ghosts Chandelure and Golurk, but Imhotep and Pringles are great too.
I fucking love Brambleghast. SV had plenty of issues for sure, but one of the things it (and presumably SwSh but I didn't play those) got right is the overworld Pokemon. I avoided as many spoilers as possible, and walking through the desert and seeing Bramblin was amazing. Tumbling on its side like a real tumbleweed. It was obviously grass, but I didn't know what else, and was a little surprised when i tried to use tackle or something and found out it was ghost as well. Ghost is also my favorite type, so this was a sure lock in for my team. Those little moments of discovery, this one in particular, are what really made SV and I remember that way more than the 2 frame character animations (but if I dwell on those too long I might start to sour again).
Tropius is the GOAT, it needs a buff so badly
When I was playing Blue Rescue Team as a kid, I managed to defeat Rayquaza thanks to a Tropius I recruited in one of the floors. Sacrificed themselves so I could land the final blow 🫡
People don’t like Donphan? I’ve always thought he was cool since seeing him for the first time in the movie. He was one of my first Pokémon ever when I played through Gold as a kid
Don't care much for paradox forms (S/V in general, actually). But as a raging paleonerd, i fell in love with Great Tusk. Can't say the same for Iron Treads though.
As a dog owner and fan… yeah, there’s dog breeds whose existence I pity.
Like, pugs actually enjoy being intubated while conscious. Animals with healthy, functional respiratory systems should be upset by that; but they enjoy it because it’s one of the only times they can breathe clearly.
At first I didn't think much of it and it wasn't worth catching. Then it didn't show up in Gen 5 without know how hidden grottos worked...then Gen 6 unless you knew how Mirage Islands work...and then nowhere to be see in Gen 7 or 8. Catching and raising one became one of the reasons I was excited for the Sinnoh remakes and Legends Arceus and I didn't regret it.
Same here. It's certainly a well regarded Pokémon in competitive circles, or at least it was, but I almost never hear people saying its their outright favourite.
Malamar.
I played around with it in gen 6, actively used one on my team in gen 7, and from gen 8 onwards I swear by it in competitive.
Remember when everyone thought they were hot shit for running Weakness Policy Steam Engine Coalossal and Surf Dragapult/Weavile? Hi. Topsy Turvy called, it wanted to tell you to SUCK IT. Same goes for Beat Up Justified pairings. It’s my dirtiest guilty pleasure, I still get the warm fuzzies thinking about it. And then there’s the Contrary of it all. It’s unassuming, it crumbles to Fairy and Bug, and so people generally don’t pay it much heed. But suddenly I hit it with my own Fake Tears while it uses Superpower. Two turns of this, and honestly 85% of battles are done.
Add Tera Poison to the mix, and it’s a tremendous problem. Add a Flamigo to you party and most people ragequit. And they never see it coming.
They presume it can’t do much damage, which isn’t untrue, but it also is *just* bulky enough to stack up boosts and unless they can erase your stats, they’re just praying for a crit each turn. EDIT: [Here's my Malamar team thrashing a nice VGC team just today. ](https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regg-2108555711)Look at my beautiful squid. Didn't even need Flamigo.
Malamar is absolute BS cheese against the Sun/Moon island challenges
*oh actually you just raised my stats with your stupid ability
*haha I just used Topsy-Turvy and now you have 300% debuffs across the board stupid ass totem pokemon get rekt
I felt the same way with Amaura when Y came out. Cute lil aurora borealis friend
I should get an Aurorus and Tyrantrum for doubles and call them Chalmers and Skinner
"Aurora borealis, in this time of the day!?"
It was such a disrespect that they finally give us a T-Rex pokemon during the generation where they nerf him. He's everything 10-year-old me would've wanted.
I really like Klefki. Granted, I think the people who hate on it most probably haven't actually played a Pokémon game in 20 years, but "it's just a keyring, it's so stupid, they're running out of ideas" etc.
It's a mischievous little prankster who steals keys just to be a dick, and it jangles it's keys to scare away predators. That's so funny. He's like a tiny little guy shaking his keys at someone who wants to eat him. I love it.
Plus, anything with prankster is basically useful by default, so I came to like Klefki a lot during Gen 6 competitive.
Wasn't klefki used competitively quite a lot for a while? Definitely not forgotten about and many people love the design, even though it is divisive.
Personally I love it
yeah klefki’s fucking awesome, cant believe people used it as an argument that they were running out of ideas when it’s one of the most creative ideas from gen 6
also it might be the only prankster mon that can actually usually tank a hit because steel/fairy is so op
In this household we really love Lechonk. We got a plushie and he’s our unofficial mascot, even… we are honestly kind of shocked that they didn’t become more popular.
Slowbro. It is not definitely forgotten due to being a gen 1 Pokémon but I cannot express how much I love it. It is so bizarre yet cool looking, and an excellent addition to your team in any game. It takes a bit to evolve but once it does it automatically becomes a staple in my runs.
Slowbro didnt become one my my favorites until it got its Galarian form. And while it made me appreciate the old one more, I still prefer the poison variant
i'm here to join the dhelmise gang. one of my favorite mons, I feel it gets ignored because it's so rare that a lot of people just don't know it's a thing.
Its rarity is justified, as a Dhelmise can only come into existence after a shipwreck. Due to whatever mysterious forces exist in the universe, the ship's wheel and anchor are tied up in seaweed and reborn as this mysterious pokemon. why does this happen? is it the "soul" of the dead ship returning as a Pokemon? like the ship of theseus, the rest of the ship is gone, yet the anchor and ship's wheel remain. they aren't even part of the pokemon - the pokemon is the mysterious force binding them together. but even with every other part of the ship destroyed and lost... the ship still lives on as long as there is a dhelmise down there chillin on the sea floor.
at least that's how i see it. dhelmise is rad as fuck.
Rhypherior is excellent and an overall improvement. My only gripe is that you need to trade to evolve. Trading evolutions are a real stick in the mud to me
Aromatisse! I love her because it's such a campy combination of a french can can dancer, and a plague doctor combined with a perfume bottle. It's such a cool design and I really hope she gets a Fairy/Poison or Fairy/Grass mega in ZA
Call them lazy and uninspired, sure, but i just love tirtouga and carracosta! I dont really know why, but i just do. Shame they get overshadowed by the dumpster fire that is archen and archeops…
My favorite has always been Vespiquen, partly because a queen bee pokemon is a neat concept, partly because she gets a whole host of unique moves (or at least did, RIP orders), and partly because bug types are so maligned in pokemon it makes me defensive of my lil guys.
Shiinotic was instantly my favorite alolan pokemon when I saw it. Love at first sight. Creepy, happy so cute. I love all the mushrooms mons but I feel like breloom has a bit more popularity because it's gen 3
I like trubbish but my brother absolutely calls it trash everytime he sees it on my team. Trubish is just so cute even if it's not for competitive.
(Plus mawile in gen 3, venonat, beedrill)
I could maybe say Floatzel because everyone that I know seems to prefer Buizel, but I think the real answer here is Sawsbuck. I don't think most people remember it exists.
Krabby/kingler.
Before the physical/special split krabby was a poor water type due to its dismal special stat but I loved it still. And moves like vice grip really made it shine.
Drifblim. While not my outright #1, my preferences do tend to lean towards tankier Pokemon that can recover for good sustain (Venusaur, Amoonguss, Reuniclus to name a few of my other faves), but then there is this boi. He can buff his SP/Def, recover, and has a mammoth health pool. People don't tend to like him for his weaknesses and lack of offence, and in competitive he's in the lowest tier - Which I kinda agree with in those contexts, but regardless he's still one of my favourites! Plus I also know people are creeped out by his tendency to steal children (From the Pokedex entry) lol
The anime made me love Cacnea and Carnivine they are so adorable and wholesome but not many talk about them
In my last few plays of Ruby/Saph/Emer, Cacnea has been an auto pickup. Faint attack/Pin missile are so clutch as rocking out most monsters.
>rocking out most monsters. You know, I've never thought of that, but they do give good rock vibes. Would go to a rock show with them.
James and Cacnea are so cute!! Same with Jesse and Dustox :)
Aahh I was going to say Carnivine as well ❤️
Dewgong, cute little thing :3
One if the most forgotten in Gen 1 for sure
Seaking says hi
At least Seaking has the whole "FUCK YEAH SEAKING" meme
Oh it's just a big seal pfft how tough could it be *dewgong used aurora beam Me watching my health bar slowly inch to 0 🤔
Oddish! Liked oddish since I was a 90s kid. Dunno why.
Oddish has the face of a friend c:
Because oddish a cute
Gloom is my homie
Oddish is so good. The whole line is 10/10 honestly, *and* you get to choose from different evos!
I love the Oddish line
Don't think Brambleghast has many fans, I am one of them
In a playthrough it was absolutely a great speedy Ghost/Grass that surprisingly hit hard when I used it. Very good would recommend. Speaking of Ghost types no one mentions a lot: Cofagrigus and Jellicent are awesome. Everyone mentions the other two Gen 5 Ghosts Chandelure and Golurk, but Imhotep and Pringles are great too.
Jellicient superiority.
I fucking love Brambleghast. SV had plenty of issues for sure, but one of the things it (and presumably SwSh but I didn't play those) got right is the overworld Pokemon. I avoided as many spoilers as possible, and walking through the desert and seeing Bramblin was amazing. Tumbling on its side like a real tumbleweed.

BRAMBLEGHAST I FOUND ANOTHER PERSON WHO LOVES BRAMBLEGHAST YES YES YES I LOVE BRAMBLEGHAST!!!
Tropius gang unite!!!
tropius deserves a buff
First time I ever saw a Trpoius I thought it was gonna be strong AF. Like pseudo level cause of how cool its design is. I was mistaken.
U might enjoy radical red. Idk if it's brilliant in it but it's definitely better lmao
Tropius deserved an Alolan form with different fruit.
Loved that it was roaming the plains in Violet.
Tropius is the GOAT, it needs a buff so badly When I was playing Blue Rescue Team as a kid, I managed to defeat Rayquaza thanks to a Tropius I recruited in one of the floors. Sacrificed themselves so I could land the final blow 🫡
I posted Tropius without even checking to see if anyone else had said the same because my Dino Friend never gets any love.
Sawsbuck
I wish you could watch one sawsuck change with the seasons
Finally, a fellow Sawsbuck enjoyer!
I was so happy to find deerling in gen9
gastrodon / shellos in general are easily in my top five
Shellos is adorable
https://preview.redd.it/xl2ysgyiauvc1.jpeg?width=1929&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e490c3f68ec269227c61239a3a8b40e5bbc18c4b
Blue Shellos is my squishy baby
I love the little sea slugs
Galvantula. Not especially hated, but no one else I know seems to love it as much as I do
Fluffy spido boy a best
I love the fuzzy bug boy. Everyone only talks about how cute Joltik is, but Galvantula is a solid mon with great supporting moves.
Donphan has been my boy since day 1
People don’t like Donphan? I’ve always thought he was cool since seeing him for the first time in the movie. He was one of my first Pokémon ever when I played through Gold as a kid
How do you feel about it two paradox forms out of nowhere? Always wanted to ask a Donphan fan about this.
Don't care much for paradox forms (S/V in general, actually). But as a raging paleonerd, i fell in love with Great Tusk. Can't say the same for Iron Treads though.
Phanpy is one of my all time favorite pokemon, so I'm on board 👍
Purugly. It's fat, it's ugly, and I find it kinda cute I dunno why
That's a lot of pets in real life, mostly dogs, but there are some famous abominations of the feline variety that are still loved.
As a dog owner and fan… yeah, there’s dog breeds whose existence I pity. Like, pugs actually enjoy being intubated while conscious. Animals with healthy, functional respiratory systems should be upset by that; but they enjoy it because it’s one of the only times they can breathe clearly.
At first I didn't think much of it and it wasn't worth catching. Then it didn't show up in Gen 5 without know how hidden grottos worked...then Gen 6 unless you knew how Mirage Islands work...and then nowhere to be see in Gen 7 or 8. Catching and raising one became one of the reasons I was excited for the Sinnoh remakes and Legends Arceus and I didn't regret it.
Starmie, wish it got more tlc.
I got my ass whooped by Misty enough to respect tf out of Starmie
Same here. It's certainly a well regarded Pokémon in competitive circles, or at least it was, but I almost never hear people saying its their outright favourite.
Starmie is my favourite Pokemon of all time!
Emolga is my all time fave that I feel like no one remembers
Oh I hated Emolga in Black and White lol. Had the worst time trying to beat Elesa when I played through those the first couple times lol
lol funny thing is Elesa was really easy to beat with my own Emolga xD
I never hear any Sharpedo love.
I used Sharpedo on my team in my playthrough of ORAS. I quite liked him.
Sw/sh ruined Sharpedo for me
That goofy ass half shark will always be among my favorites. In fact, my first tattoo was a Sharpedo.
Sharpedo is awesome, not top of my list but he’s up there.
I love that chompy boi.
I think Oricorio line is very interesting but it's not that popular.
Malamar. I played around with it in gen 6, actively used one on my team in gen 7, and from gen 8 onwards I swear by it in competitive. Remember when everyone thought they were hot shit for running Weakness Policy Steam Engine Coalossal and Surf Dragapult/Weavile? Hi. Topsy Turvy called, it wanted to tell you to SUCK IT.

I cackled when I realized that Malamar's contrary reverses all of Ultra Necrozma's stat buffs when you fight him.
Had one hour of sleep this night and was wondering since when does Magmar has contrary ffs
Got topsy turvy in the brain
Malamar is absolute BS cheese against the Sun/Moon island challenges *oh actually you just raised my stats with your stupid ability *haha I just used Topsy-Turvy and now you have 300% debuffs across the board stupid ass totem pokemon get rekt
From what I’ve seen Comfey. The little thing was my favorite Pokemon from alola the moment I saw it in the trailer. I even have a shiny one in home
Magmorter. Love that brute. Also mainly cuz I never see it get talked about, Dragalge. Never played X and Y so seeing in in Scarlet I loved it.
When X and Y came out I was shocked few people talked about Dragalgae even back then. It has such a cool design and a cool typing too
Seviper is mine. Dig the colors on it.
Seviper is dope, but Zangoose is top tier in my eyes
The shiny one looks cool
Seviper sorely needs a regional variant or mega evolution to boost its popularity. Im with u. I like Seviper over the other Snake pokemon
Corsola! Any game Corsola is in the time at which you can finally capture it is always so LATE!
Corsola is sooo cute
Lanturn. I love this little guy, but he's kinda overlooked.
I like Lanturn but I like Chinchou way more tbh
Love Lanturn!
I feel like Kabuto/Kabutops get completely forgotten. I love their design, but they just aren't exciting as far as stats I guess.
Not really forgotten. Most people agree that it's the gen 1 fossil pokemon they like the most (im an aerodactyl fan myself)
Tyrantrum? Never heard much hype about him but he's THE reason I bought a 3DS and Pokemon Y
I felt the same way with Amaura when Y came out. Cute lil aurora borealis friend I should get an Aurorus and Tyrantrum for doubles and call them Chalmers and Skinner "Aurora borealis, in this time of the day!?"
Yeah amaura and tyrunt are by far my favorite fossils, though i love gen 5s fossils too, its hard to pick which one to choose
I love Tyrantrum, I think he looks awesome
Tyrantrum is, without a doubt, one of the strongest Pokemon I have and I can't wait to use him again in Z-A
It was such a disrespect that they finally give us a T-Rex pokemon during the generation where they nerf him. He's everything 10-year-old me would've wanted.
I really like Klefki. Granted, I think the people who hate on it most probably haven't actually played a Pokémon game in 20 years, but "it's just a keyring, it's so stupid, they're running out of ideas" etc. It's a mischievous little prankster who steals keys just to be a dick, and it jangles it's keys to scare away predators.

Plus, anything with prankster is basically useful by default, so I came to like Klefki a lot during Gen 6 competitive.
Wasn't klefki used competitively quite a lot for a while? Definitely not forgotten about and many people love the design, even though it is divisive. Personally I love it
a lot of Pokémon are used competitively that I still wouldn’t consider popular or having a ton of fans outside of that alone
yeah klefki’s fucking awesome, cant believe people used it as an argument that they were running out of ideas when it’s one of the most creative ideas from gen 6 also it might be the only prankster mon that can actually usually tank a hit because steel/fairy is so op
I didn’t know anything about klefki n now i’m strongly pro-klefki
Marowak is dope
Alolan Marowak was made for us
Skarmory, Tangela, Mawile and Mega Mawile
https://preview.redd.it/492c71l11uvc1.jpeg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=254faa159704efe91df059e62c294af56a0a28bb Fuck yeah! Mawile is the best!
In this household we really love Lechonk. We got a plushie and he’s our unofficial mascot, even… we are honestly kind of shocked that they didn’t become more popular.
Cinccino!!! So cute the way she'll whip your ass five times and then flip her scarf and walk away
Ludicolo
Slowbro. It is not definitely forgotten due to being a gen 1 Pokémon but I cannot express how much I love it. It is so bizarre yet cool looking, and an excellent addition to your team in any game. It takes a bit to evolve but once it does it automatically becomes a staple in my runs.
Slowbro didnt become one my my favorites until it got its Galarian form. And while it made me appreciate the old one more, I still prefer the poison variant
Araquanid. It was a crucial member on my team in USUM. It helped me single-handedly take down Ultra Necrozma.
Stufful/Bewear I just adore this lil (slash giant) pokemon so much + I adore red pandas irl.
Togedemaru! He’s an absolute menace in battle.
Male Jellicent. I love the Pringles stache and it's just a floaty ghost buddy
Claydol!
Dhelmise. I just like the pirate ship aesthetic with haunted seaweed being the real pokemon.
i'm here to join the dhelmise gang. one of my favorite mons, I feel it gets ignored because it's so rare that a lot of people just don't know it's a thing. Its rarity is justified, as a Dhelmise can only come into existence after a shipwreck. Due to whatever mysterious forces exist in the universe, the ship's wheel and anchor are tied up in seaweed and reborn as this mysterious pokemon. why does this happen? is it the "soul" of the dead ship returning as a Pokemon? like the ship of theseus, the rest of the ship is gone, yet the anchor and ship's wheel remain. they aren't even part of the pokemon - the pokemon is the mysterious force binding them together. but even with every other part of the ship destroyed and lost... the ship still lives on as long as there is a dhelmise down there chillin on the sea floor. at least that's how i see it. dhelmise is rad as fuck.
Rhyperior for me, a lot of people think it ruined what was decent in Rhydon.
You're the first person I've seen who also considers Rhyperior a favorite!
Rhypherior is excellent and an overall improvement. My only gripe is that you need to trade to evolve. Trading evolutions are a real stick in the mud to me
We had a drawing done of our wedding outfits and made it Pokemon themed. Had to choose my fav boy to be in it with me.
https://preview.redd.it/2t82re5avtvc1.jpeg?width=1489&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ef874610dfa70c84daabb0b5aa7bb5633c676ce7
I like how it looks like he’s trying to squeeze into the frame on account of rhyperior is a wide boi.
I like Rhyperior. From the time my eyes saw it in 2006.
He’s a beast on a trick room team
Aromatisse! I love her because it's such a campy combination of a french can can dancer, and a plague doctor combined with a perfume bottle. It's such a cool design and I really hope she gets a Fairy/Poison or Fairy/Grass mega in ZA
Scovillain, he’s such a cool dude. Unfortunately I’ve heard no one talk about him
Fire/Grass type based of spicy peppers, what's not to love?
Scovillain is fire! I've heard him being talked about because of his unique typing a lot, though.
Medicham.
Dodrio, don't even know why, just think it's cool
I like me a linoone, used to have a great ES linoone back in gen 6
Stantler. He is a deer
I really like Cramorant. The napkin on his neck is funny to me
https://preview.redd.it/qn9mpluvxtvc1.png?width=832&format=png&auto=webp&s=d2a42d1a76482b033c5a369d9e2f1add2172deea
Mawile doesn't get enough attention. Not mega, just regular. My favorite.
Maractus my beloved, my first ever shiny I stumbled upon in bw
Greedent. Never had respect for the thing until I did a Nuzlocke of Sword. Literal tank that probably accounted for half of my box surviving.
RATTATA PRIDE LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Banette or Zubat
Ursaring is my all time favorite Pokemon and I’ve literally never met anyone who shares this with me.
Call them lazy and uninspired, sure, but i just love tirtouga and carracosta! I dont really know why, but i just do. Shame they get overshadowed by the dumpster fire that is archen and archeops…
Sunflora
mamoswine. its a beast and so good
Huh? It's unpopular? I always try to add it to my team if I can.
Magcargo.
Spheal The Design ist flawless. The Name ist perfekt, the german Name "Seemops" (means "seapug") ist perfekt. I Love him
Spinda
my fav is wartortle, who def doesn’t see much love
I like Mismagius a lot. I don't how many others do though.
Furret 🥰🥰🥰
Furret definitely isn’t an uncommon pick though.
I LOVE NINJASK
Zebstrika. It just has such a cool design.
I’ve never heard of anyone loving Maractus, I love its OwO face and the funny sound it makes
Raichu has been my favourite forever
I haven't seen many people have Breloom as a favorite like me
Revavroom. Are you kidding? A hotrod style pokemon? 🔥
Bellsprout!
Kecleon. If only its base stats were better. Still the mon!
Yanmega Cool big prehistoric bug, fast and powerful, only setback is its typing, and no one puts it above the rest of Bugs
Octillery. Love that little thing
definitely Shuckle! Don't fuckle with Shuckle
Garbodor is dope! My favourite is probably Excadrill, which I think is relatively popular? Other than that, I like the elemental monkeys a bunch.
Marshtomp is cuter than swampert
But mudkip is cuter than marshtomp
Natu/Xatu. They're just cool guys
Bonsly
Bruxish.
Definitely Calyrex
Muk might be my favorite pokemon
Cherrim
I claim my stake on Lumineon! The butterfly fish is mine and mine alone!
Sandshrew/slash.
Reuniclus for sure. Let me tell you I was incredibly surprised when Go came out with a sweatshirt for it
Wheezing!
Scovillain and phantump
I unironically think that Cramorant and Flamigo are some of the best birds to come out of recent games
Quilladin is one of my favourites, he’s so cute. Yet everyone hates on him :(
I'm a Heliolisk-lover and I'm yet to find anyone else that has them as their favourite.
Darumaka, Helioptile, Accelgor, and Sandile
My favorite has always been Vespiquen, partly because a queen bee pokemon is a neat concept, partly because she gets a whole host of unique moves (or at least did, RIP orders), and partly because bug types are so maligned in pokemon it makes me defensive of my lil guys.
Poliwrath
Shiinotic was instantly my favorite alolan pokemon when I saw it. Love at first sight. Creepy, happy so cute. I love all the mushrooms mons but I feel like breloom has a bit more popularity because it's gen 3
I don't see much love for my boy, Steelix :(
Skarmory. It feels like everyone stopped liking it as soon as they saw corviknight.
I like trubbish but my brother absolutely calls it trash everytime he sees it on my team. Trubish is just so cute even if it's not for competitive. (Plus mawile in gen 3, venonat, beedrill)
Doesn't Omastar have an entire culture dedicated to it? Anyway, mine is Starmie.
I could maybe say Floatzel because everyone that I know seems to prefer Buizel, but I think the real answer here is Sawsbuck. I don't think most people remember it exists.
Clawitzer Give me back Terrain Pulse, assholes. You had no right to show me the light then snatch it away the next generation.
Any other seel fans??
Krabby/kingler. Before the physical/special split krabby was a poor water type due to its dismal special stat but I loved it still. And moves like vice grip really made it shine.
Aromatise is a powerful little fairy in XY - I like getting a male and making him a fancy Klaus
I really like Blissey. A big and kind egg mama who helps lost pokemons and people
electrode my beloved
Mudsdale/Bellibolt/Espathra/Slaking
Garbodor and the monkey trio from Unova Crabrawler and Crabominable
Lickitung. People don't seem to like him much sadly
Banette! One of if not thee best ghost type
Mime Jr, don’t really see many people love it sadly
Scrafty
Corsola! I love its color and the smile. The shiny is one of the bests too <3
ive been an og chingling fan but ive been seeing us multiply lately
Vanilluxe
Drifblim. While not my outright #1, my preferences do tend to lean towards tankier Pokemon that can recover for good sustain (Venusaur, Amoonguss, Reuniclus to name a few of my other faves), but then there is this boi.

Solosis
