My Top 10 (Sinnoh Pokemon only)
1. Staraptor - Loved this birdy, it can hit hard with Close Combat, and it served as my resident flyer in my 4th Gen games.
2. Ambipom - I love monkeys, and Ambipom has a huge movepool and Technician to power up any 60 power or less attack.
3. Skuntank - I love the look of skunks and I was really hoping it would become a Pokemon. And this is what we get, it can learn Flamethrower, set up Toxic and damage opponents with the Aftermath ability. Loved using this thing.
4. Pachirisu - Electric rodent Pokemon usually get dwarfed by evolved Pokemon, but Pachirisu's cuteness and affiliation with Dawn in the anime got me into liking her.
5. Roserade - I loved Roselia in Gen 3, so I was excited to hear she gained an evolution. Tried her out and she's awesome and now my fave Grass-type Pokemon!
6. Drifblim - Fantina inspired me to use it, and it's pretty good for a Ghost-type plus it's cute!
7. Infernape - Yep, monkey lover so I was excited to use it. Great movepool + good stats + awesome design. It can be fierce when used competitively.
8. Buneary - How could you not like this cutie? Dawn has one in the anime, and it's got good moves and design too.
9. Empoleon - My brother loves penguins, and then this thing comes along. It's awesome, hits hard and has good diversity to make it a great starter to use.
10. Weavile - It's awesome, is very fast, hits hard and I loved using this guy.
I also want to give these ones a mention:
Yanmega - My fave Bug-type. Awesome with Bug Buzz and Air Slash plus it has Speed Boost to make it zippy or Tinted Lens to deal more damage on resisting opponents. Also famously used by Jessie of Team Rocket in the anime.
Togekiss - I started loving the Togepi family when this cutie came. Dawn also uses one in the anime, plus great movepool got me into using Togekiss. Its Aura Sphere and Air Slash hits hard with that strong Special Attack stat!
Gallade - My pair PlatinumDude's fave Pokemon. Gallade hits hard, very fast and it's cool design in general. I loved using him.
Lucario - Great movepool, hits hard, pretty fast and awesome abilities too. I even ended up with a female one once.
Leafeon and Glaceon - Eeveelutions. I like anything evolving from Eevee.
Garchomp - This thing could take a bite out of you and it's cool and hits hard making it a great Physical sweeper.
