Favorite Pokemon for Competitive Play

You can list any number of Pokemon you like to use for competitive play. You can go by either GBU rules or Smogon rules (I don't play by Smogon rules, but I won't judge).

Blaziken
Greninja
Venomoth
Sableye
Snorlax
Vaporeon
Aegislash
Crustle
Forretress
Ferrothorn
Garchomp

But my all time favorite is Crobat. That thing is a beast.

I like finding pokemon no-one expects to see. That said, I don't choose any pokemon, and relying on surprises isn't very consistent, but if I see something that can comfortably fight it out alongside more popular ones, I'll usually wind up building with it for a while.

Since I usually play singles battles, with either Smogon or non Smogon 6v6, I like pokemon with the ability Frisk, particularly Noivern for it's speed, good move-pool, and ability to U-turn away to a counter. Bronzong has neat typing and abilities and can comfortably wall opponents, even those with earthquake. I use it along-side Vaporeon, one of my favourite pokemon, and one I feel pairs perfectly with the bell.

That said, I enjoy using well established but versatile pokemon like Tyranitar, Clefable, Aegislash, and Reuniclus

I love breaking the meta, but only a few picks are actually somewhat viable. Some of my favorite ones are Toxicroak and Relicanth. I love using these two. Toxicroak is actually really good for stopping Scald SPAM and checking threats like Bishard and Azumarill as well as some Manaphy variants.

Relicanth you just slap a Choice Band on and watch the carnage with Head Smash.
