Your Favourite B&W Pokémon .
 
Hey friends,

Everybody here are fans of Unova region and Unova pokémons. All of us loves unova pokémons for different reasons. Some people love them for their cuteness, some people love them for their powers etc. So, I want to know what's the favourite pokémon of yours in Pokémon Black and White.
Please share your favourite pokémon with us.

My one is Zekrom. I love it for it's power.

Elekizer May 16th, 2016 11:06 PM

I haven't fully seen or experienced every pokemon in Unova but I'd say mine as of now is my Serperior just 'cause it looks well superior. {XD}

Nah May 18th, 2016 4:51 AM

OP knows what's good

http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/xyani/zekrom.gif is best pokemon

FireSnow May 19th, 2016 12:51 PM

Gimme some of dat Golurk power! After not being a fan of Unova Pokemon at first, they have really began to ru off on me and Golurk is the cream of the crop for me

Jonkane May 19th, 2016 1:32 PM

I think a lot of people share the feeling of not enjoying the Unova Pokemon at first and slowly starting to love them, that's how I feel. I recently played a Nuzlocke on my Pokemon Black copy and only one Pokemon I had from near the start of the game held his own through six gyms, the elite 4 and being the only Pokemon still standing battling Ghetsis. That was Darmanitan, we worked well with Samurott who is be far my favourite of the Unova Starters (even though he should be a water/fighting type) I've come to love the giant fire eyebrows monkey thing? That is Darmanitan.

p3ndu1um May 19th, 2016 1:52 PM

For me it's easy. It's Joltik. The design of it is amazing and its movepool is pretty awesome!

Mawa May 19th, 2016 4:51 PM

This generation is really one of my favorite (right after Gen 2). I can make a really big list of Pokemon I like from Gen 5, but my favorite of them all is Mienshao. I always use it. It's a fast Pokemon, good ability, great with a focus sash. I love his design too!

... But Sawsbuck is right behind, for the design.

KorpiklaaniVodka May 20th, 2016 3:51 AM

Probably Accelgor due to its high speed and excellent concept.

noahr94 May 20th, 2016 9:16 AM

Oshawott or Carracosta, easy

Ho-Oh May 20th, 2016 4:34 PM

It's hard. I thought my favourite was Galvantula (I'm petrified of spiders so idgi either) then Herdier...

And now I don't know! I literally love all the Unova Pokémon. Even Garbodor is beautiful compared to that ugly barbaracle in gen 6.

Like I can honestly say that every Pokémon this generation they got right.

BUT I suppose I should give shoutouts to the coolest and most nostalgic of Unova Pokémon and I'll just say what they make me think of. So I suppose they're my favourites :)

Tepig (eminem)
Oshawott (hikari)
Snivy (trc)
Emboar (Eminem)
Victini (windy)
Musharna (ras/vrai)
Herdier (2011)
Woobat (koromori)
Pidove (art)
Excadrill (battling)
Audino (oppo)
Sawk (Jake)
Whimsicott (twilightblade)
Petilil (syd)
Scrafty (e4)
Minccino (nick)
Swanna (duck)
Ducklett (swan)
Reuniclus (gym)
Emolga (Kaori)
Amoongus (nu)
Alomomola (nu)
Jellicent (profile)
Litwick (Kaori)
Axew (speculation)
Stunfisk (kip)
Golurk (nu)
Braviary (livewire)
Volcarona (toujours)
Thundurus (competitive)
Reshiram (syd)
Zekrom (black and white)

So I guess from that battling with a lot of these Pokémon competitively has helped because it made me connected to them. That and the people that helped bring those Pokémon to my mind. I may not directly always associate them with that Pokémon but they made a difference enough that they're special to me.

Go Unova! I have way too many favourites...

(32 apparently...)

pkmin3033 May 21st, 2016 2:11 AM

I can't imagine what mine could be.

PankajBlitz May 21st, 2016 2:25 AM

The God of Thunderstorm!

Zekrom!

it has a pretty cool design.

Lunar May 22nd, 2016 1:06 PM

Victini and Zorua, I loved the side-event to get Victini it's something we don't really see in Pokemon games nowadays as we're often restricted to the main land mass of the region.

And well Zorua is in my top three favorite Pokemon, it's design and ability are so cool xD

I think that's why a lot of people love Victini - it opened up a whole new part of Unova to explore. Unlike the other events in other games you had a reason to get Victini. Even if you didn't want it, you wanted to explore the small island and see what it offered. I actually think a lot less people would like Victini if it was given the normal event treatment, they'd have no reason to care about it. Whereas pretty much everyone that brought BW early on has an experience with Victini, which is awesome.

JJ Styles May 22nd, 2016 5:31 PM

Well please excuse me for liking the OP stuff but Excadrill and Haxorous are definitely like my top faves of this generation for a couple of reasons:

1) Both look cool as heck. They ain't messing around when they have their game faces on.
2) In Haxorous' case, its face is basically an AXE! if Haxorous was on Mortal Kombat, it be god tier
3) Excadrill, well obviously. Being on the banlist for being very very OP in this gen.

4) Even if i didn't know how stupidly powerful both Mons are, I'd still consider them to be my faves because they look so dang cool. Basically the monsters I'm glad to be hanging around with. And Both mons in their respective titles are my two primary hard carries since they easily cover up the Non-Serperior starters' lack of Speed.

Pretty Wing May 23rd, 2016 5:31 PM

Whimsicott and Deerling are my absolute favourites.

Also, Victini, Munna, Swoobat, Audino, Gothitelle, (female) Jellicent and Meloetta, every time.

Xertified May 24th, 2016 3:58 AM

Zoroark, hands down.

Very cool and have a decent movepool.

JohnnyGolduck May 24th, 2016 7:07 AM

A lof of my favorites come out of this Generation. I think Axew and Chandelure may be my favorites but I like Volcarona and Archeops a whole lot too.

Whether you like Gen 5 or not I think you have to respect the ghost Pokemon they introduced. They're all so uniqe and really different than any other Pokemon out there. Cofagrigus, Jellicent, Chandelure, Golurk. Fantastic designs.

Count May 24th, 2016 9:34 AM

I'm thinking my top 3 would have to be Serperior, Whimsicott and Zorua.

Honorable mentions are Emolga, Mandibuzz, Zebstrika and Archeops.

Esper May 24th, 2016 10:23 AM

I really liked this generation of 'mons. I think most of them are pretty great. My favorites are:

[Swoobat, Whimsicott, Chandelure, Stunfisk, and Volcarona]

esperance May 24th, 2016 9:28 PM

Probably Volcarona or Meloetta these days... and I also like Vanillite for whatever reason

Hikamaru May 24th, 2016 9:29 PM

This is hard because I love a lot of these Pokemon.

Personal fave is without a doubt uh, you know what that sea otter is, but I like the starter designs collectively and with the theme they had going for them it makes me love them that bit more. I also loved all the Psychic, Dark and Ghost-types of this generation which all had great designs, and there's also some other powerhouses I loved like Scrafty, Krookodile, Excadrill, Volcarona, and the mascot legendaries who I also love the thematic motif of.

There's already reasons why I loved this generation, because of the more unique thought being put into Pokemon designs.

Oh nooo, Stunfisk is amazing. Honestly it appeared as weird to most people at first iirc but over time its derpyness really made it one of Unova's most memorable Pokemon. Like when it laughs at you... you just have this urge to catch it and make it yours. So you can laugh at the losers that don't use Stunfisk. :)

(Fun thing to do: Go to style selector and look for 'Stunfisk'd' - you won't be let down!)

Dedenne1 May 26th, 2016 1:27 PM

Wow super tough but I'm gonna have to go with Emolga cause of its cool design and typing and its like freaking adorable <3

Adam Levine May 26th, 2016 10:32 PM

This is possibly one of the least likable Pokémon of Gen V, not because it's object-based, but because it's so forgettable, but it's my most favorite Gen V Pokémon so far:

http://www.pkparaiso.com/imagenes/xy/sprites/animados/palpitoad.gif
Palpitoad. I. Love. Palpitoad. It looks so funny, and it's one of the strangest Pokémon in its Generation. I love it, also because it's based on a FROG WITH HEADPHONES.

This is excellent! I will never change it!

Luzu May 28th, 2016 4:52 PM

Litwick and Joltik. No contest.

Other favorites include Lilligant, Snivy, Solosis line, and Palpitoad.

Flowerchild May 29th, 2016 6:26 AM

http://www.pokestadium.com/sprites/black-white/animated/lilligant.gif
Grass types remain best type. Lilligant is adorable and I love its design.

Besides that, probably Joltik and Zebstrika.

TomPhanto May 29th, 2016 11:26 AM

A lot of good choices, but I would have to go with Chandelure, Volcarona and Cofagrigus, mainly for their design and power. And strangely enough, I really like the design for Vanillish.

jappo May 31st, 2016 6:56 AM

Archeops! for sure!

http://img.pokemondb.net/artwork/archeops.jpg

GenuinelyAuthentic June 1st, 2016 2:36 PM

Emboar, my first level 100 in Unova.

Stunfisk is one of my fave in Unova to use. I had it in XY and it was really badass. ;U:

Imagine if it had Water Absorb (which it should cuz it lives in puddles) - everyone would want it. Legit. It'd be a pretty formidable threat if you remove the water weakness.

Aurora June 11th, 2016 12:14 AM

Cute Pokemon: Lilligant. Generally, floral Pokemon, like Bellossom and Cherrim, stand out to me and Lilligant isn't any exception. She's just adorable (and fun to troll the RU ladder with).

Cool Pokemon: Krookodile. I love its typing and its design concept: a crooked crocodile. It looks fearsome and has a MASSIVE snout I would not even try and get close to.

classiccartoonsftw June 11th, 2016 12:57 AM

My favourite Gen 5 Pokemon are Victini, Serperior, Samurott, Musharna, Zebstrika, Gigalith, Excadrill, Seismitoad, Throh, Sawk, Scolipede, Lilligant, Krookodile, Darmanitan, Scrafty, Sigilyph, Cofagrigus, Archeops, Zoroark, Cinccino, Reuniclus, Vanilluxe, Escavalier, male Jellicent, Galvantula, Ferrothorn, Eelektross, Chandelure, Haxorus, Beartic, Golurk, Bisharp, Braviary, Durant, Hydreigon, Volcarona, Cobalion, Terrakion, Zekrom, and Genesect.

blue June 12th, 2016 7:13 AM

Unova introduced the most unique mixture of Pokemon imo. Top five favourites would probably be:

- Vanilluxe
- Whimsicott
- Liepard
- Chandelure
- Reuniclus

L'Belle June 12th, 2016 7:31 AM

I love, yes, LOVE Sigilyph

Granzen July 13th, 2016 12:27 AM

Bisharp! I love it's cool design.

Bisharp July 13th, 2016 6:26 AM

I think you can probably tell based on my username.

I do also really like Scraggy and Scrafty too.

Squirrel July 15th, 2016 6:14 PM

I think there's a Foongus Amoonguss... (LOL GET IT)


Seriously though this is the cutest thing ever and I don't think it's possible not to adore this little guy. His little stubby arms and his smile and eeeee ♥

Lapis July 15th, 2016 10:49 PM

I'll have to go with Lilligant. It is so cute and I have used it multiple times in my 5th generation playthroughs. It is very useful and its shiny form is amazing. ^^

Flower July 15th, 2016 11:12 PM

Petilil/Lilligant, Genesect, Cottonee/Whimsicott, Snivy/Servine/Serperior, Rufflet/Braviary, Victini and Scraggy/Scrafty are my top favourites from Unova. I just can't choose between them, they're all different in their own amazing ways. <33 I love Grass-types and Pokémon with lots of flowers (see: my username), so some of these loves are prolly a little obvious hehe, and Genesect used to be my favourite Pokémon before Diancie and now Magearna came along. ;;

Keiw789 July 20th, 2016 5:15 AM

Love me some Zoroark.

Stunfisk is one of my favorites! It's quite the unique Pokemon being single staged and afaik the only Pokemon with it's typing. It's also a very nice Pokemon to have on your team if you just want a little extra bulk!

As for my favorite, Jellicent is probably number 1. The Vullaby line is also quite high on the list as well. Despite being my least favorite gen overall, Unova is inhabited by a good bit of Pokemon that make my list of favorites :^)

JoeyOlberding July 27th, 2016 4:12 PM

I love so many pokemon from Gen V I'll probably miss a few, but I'll try.
Foongus, Joltik, Litwick, Klink, Tynamo, Snivy, Servine, Serperior, Samurott (why does everyone hate on it?), Deerling, Vanillite, Vanillish (i love how out of place they are. Also they're pretty cute.), Zekrom, Volcarona, ect.

EDIT: Venipede line as well

Ky0greK1ng July 27th, 2016 7:05 PM

I, personally, find this question pretty easy! I didn't hate any, but I never loved too many of the Generation Five Pokemon... That said, I LOVED Munna!

First of all, it's a Tapir...

Secondly, it's adorable...

Thirdly, it's pink...

Fourthly, it's ADORABLE!

Sytiourious July 27th, 2016 8:44 PM

For me, definitely Whimsicott. SO CUTE!!!

Shuhbooty July 27th, 2016 9:33 PM

Oh my.. I have quiet a few favorites!

Victini, Oshawott, Munna, AUDINO, Whimsicott, Petlil, Cinccino, Derring, Chandelure, Haxorus, VOLCARONA and my sweet Meloetta. <3

Log July 28th, 2016 5:03 AM

Whirlipede is my top favorite, but I also like Joltik, Cofagrigus, Accelgor, Escavalier, and Archeops.

Lunarly July 28th, 2016 1:03 PM

Despite the controversy, I really liked Vanilluxe, it was the Pokemon I immediately wanted on my team when I was looking through the pokedex for the first time. I also like Gothitelle, Serperior and Liepard. Also Joltik is so friggin cute <3

notecard July 28th, 2016 11:11 PM

For some reason, my two specific favorites are Victini and Purrloin. Also Zekrom is great.

Starry Windy July 29th, 2016 3:07 AM

I think it's fairly obvious that one of my faves is definitely Victini. Besides of that, I also like Oshawott and Emolga as well.

AleXShi1 July 29th, 2016 4:27 AM

Zoroark, Cofagrigus and genesect would be some of my favs but gen 5 for me looks so amazing it would be hard to decide something like a top 3

Altairis August 24th, 2016 8:05 PM

Excadrill and Dribur are at the top of my list, definitely. Lilligant is good as well, and I also really like Minccino and Zoroark, and maybe Archen as well.. oh! And Sawsbuck.

In terms of designs, I also like Unfezant and Elgyem, but they're not really my favorite to use in battle.

I'm new to Gen 5 (I know, I'm behind) and I didn't realize there's controversy over Vanilluxe. It doesn't surprise me cause it's a friggin' Pokemon designed after an ice cream cone, but fuc it, I love it. I made room for one on my team in Pokemon White as soon as I found one (well, as soon as I found Vanillite)

KipKipFox August 25th, 2016 12:32 PM

Zorua for the win! Haven't trained one yet (I think I'll pick it up in White 2) but I love it nonetheless. Also, Serperior and Reshiram. They are also my children.

Stokesma August 27th, 2016 3:30 PM

My favorite B&W Pokemon has to be Ferrothorn.

I like its design. Being covered all over with metal having thorns and having the vines that extrude with smaller versions of itself, it is what I imagine the ideal Grass/Steel Pokemon to be.

Additionally, I love the way it can be raised to battle as a defensive Pokemon that be stally or one that can be bulky but can hit hard. It is the Pokemon that first comes to mind when the move Gyro Ball is mentioned.

Entermaid August 27th, 2016 5:05 PM

There are SO many pokemon I love this generation, though plenty I despised -- mainly it was a large roster. This generation CRUSHED it on grass pokemon especially!!!

LOVED POKEMON (Beautiful, Elegant, Regal, Cute)
1. Lilligant
2. Serperior
3. Samurott
4. Liepard
5. Leavanny
6. Jellicent
7. Whimsicott
8. Mandibuzz
9. Volcarona
10. Emolga
11. Sawsbuck
12. Zebstrika
13. Musharna
14. Swanna
15. Gothitelle/Reuniclus/Chandelure

HATED POKEMON (Ugly, Forgettable, clunky, or downright uncharacteristic of pokemon)
1. Emboar (poor little Tepig :()
2. Basculin (boring and fugly)
3. Amoonguss (fugly)
4. Ferrothorn (clunky, fugly)
5. Heatmor (forgettable, fugly)
6. Durant (Seriously, what a waste of an ant pokemon line)
7. Klinklank (clunky, STUPID concept)
8. Golurk (not a pokemon)
9. Cryogonal (not a pokemon, what a waste on a cool concept)
10. Vanilluxe (I loved Vanillite, they just ruined what could have been cute or elegant evolution)
11. Seismatoad (clunky, odd in a bad way)
12. Alomamola (Not related to luvdisc? Okay then...)
13. Conkeldurr (Clunky pillars that do not match clownish concept)
14. Sawk (forgetable, could be a npc trainer)
15. Throh (forgetable, could be a npc trainer)

It's actually pretty much the only Grass type that doesn't appear to be 'nice' and soft yknow? Like compare it to basically every other grass type that isn't part poison and Ferrothorn easily stands out. It's probably the ugliest grass type but competitive wise it's probably the most competitive grass type. Pretty cool when you think about it :')

princess garghelina August 28th, 2016 5:14 AM

I like
 
My fav pokemon are reshiram,zekrom and kyruem.

Harmonie August 28th, 2016 6:29 AM

Sawsbuck is my favorite. A very beautiful deer Pokemon that changes with the seasons and has such beautiful forms.

Samurott is my favorite final starter of any generation. I really like Zebstrika and Elgyem and Beeheeyum as well. Litwick is adorable, but I don't really care for its evolutions.

thedestinedblade August 28th, 2016 1:34 PM

Druddigon gets a lot of hate for it's color scheme and looking like a child's drawing, but I loved the thing since laying eyes upon it. I find it charming for some reason, and I like how it's "wings" aren't really wings but more of solar panels.

LilyGardy August 28th, 2016 11:12 PM

My favourite Gen 5 Pokemon is Lilligant. I really like the design of the Flowering Pokemon and how it is a very effective Pokemon in game with a very effective Sleep Powder, Quiver Dance and Petal Dance combination.

Whilst it may be seen as Gen 5s version of Bellossom by some, Lilligant has a much more attractive design and logically there are no male Lilligant. Lilligant also has an understated yet pleasing Shiny Form with a suitably feminine pink flower.

Other Pokemon I really like from Gen 5 are Gothitelle, Reuniclus, Sawsbuck Whimsicott, Haxorus and Female Jellicent.

ZachTGD August 29th, 2016 6:50 AM

I don't have a favorite. It's the one generation where I like all the Pokemon. But I may be biased because Black was my first Pokemon game.

tenchi September 9th, 2016 6:39 AM

hydreigon was my favorite, then Druddigon. Emboar and crookadile were pretty cool too.

i picked that pokemon up pretty fast on my first playthrough. It wasn't until years later that i realized one of my favorite pokemon was one of the dumbest ideas that made no sense. I mean an icecream pokemon? Its no wonder i also loved chandelure. I mean... wtf is that?

I actually really liked Lilligant at the start but I dunno I feel as if it lacked in enough power to really have an edge over other Pokémon. It's way cooler than Whimisicott battle wise buuuut it just sort of got lost in amongst Unova's other grass types (Amoonguss, Ferrothorn, Simisage all stand out). That and having Volcarona in the same gen makes Lilligant not really able to stand out. Imo anyway!

Still a cool Pokémon but the above is why more people probs don't like it as much.

Lilligant is an excellent Pokemon in terms of design but it is admittedly hurt by a lack of coverage moves outside of Hidden Power and Dream Eater. She is still great fun to use however and is very useful both in game and in the PWT. Also the Flowering Pokemon is my favourite Pokemon in the Franchise. :)

Whimsicott might be the cutest Pokemon ever and priority status is always nice.

Amoonguss is the only Gen 5 Grass Type I have never used and with its uninspiring design it's likely to stay that way. It may be good competitively but I have never planned my teams on tiers or competitive viability. I have used Ferrothorn but it wasn't much fun to use. Being a largely defensive Pokémon it doesn't really fit with my playstyle. Exploding on things to take them out was fun though.

I like Simisage and it gets a nice amount of coverage moves through TMs to beat things in game. (Very useful for a Monotype run) but as I reached the Elite Four it lacked power leaving the end game to Lilligant and the underrated Sawsbuck. A shame as for me it was the most well designed of the Elemental Monkeys.

Overall though Gen 5 was an excellent Gen for Grass Types.

Pignite is probably my fave Gen 5 Pokemom

I hated this pokemon for the longest time. Now i think it looks cool ><, and will use it as much as possible.

tenchi September 27th, 2016 9:55 AM

This was by far my favorite generation for some reason. IDK. Its kind of hard for me to pick favorites.
I'd say its between Hydreigon or Druddigon.

Hydreigon just looks [email protected]$$ and its just way too OP. Druddigon looks kind of lame i'll admit, but it has such a diverse moveset and it can do 1/4hp dammage to anything that hits it when it has a rocky helmet on. Focus on maxing its defence stats and that thing is a mean machine. I wish Druddigon could learn drain punch or something. It would be...well...*drools*...

Imrul Quayes Adnan September 28th, 2016 7:28 AM

Cool choices. But I think serperior is my favourite also!!

Espeonica September 28th, 2016 7:18 PM

Black & White is one of the few, rare generations where I love all 3 starter Pokemon. The Unova region has really awesome Pokemon overall so it's really difficult to choose just 1, but I would say Victini is my favorite Gen 5 Pokemon because it combines two of my favorite types: Fire & Psychic. I also love that it has blue eyes & amazing base stats ^-^

LegendChu October 2nd, 2016 12:25 AM

Top fav is Zekrom.

Speaking of the Starters, Oshawott's the best & Tepig's cool too, though its evos are just about okay. But for some reason, I never really liked Snivy or its evos.

Pika Pika :chu:

PercyX October 3rd, 2016 3:40 AM

Okay , so I am gonna go with Victini , Joltik and Zekrom . (PS Garbodor sorry XOXO :p )

LegendChu October 5th, 2016 12:55 AM

Also like Purrloin/Liepard, Victini, Zorua/Zoroark, the Lillipup line. There are actually a lot of cool Pokemon in Gen V :).

Pika Pika :chu:

Imrul Quayes Adnan October 5th, 2016 1:52 AM

You're absulatly right, LegendChu. It's hard to decide what the favourite is? All are my favourite.

OshawottMLG October 15th, 2016 5:34 AM

:chu: Oshawott. It is very quick and has a very high attack stat. The only thing is it's defense is very low. Also its so cute!

Sektor October 17th, 2016 10:50 PM

Gosh. My favorite Unova Pokémon have to be Hydreigon and Volcorona. Golurk is pretty good as well as Krookodile and Bisharp. There were so many good Pokémon introduced it's hard to choose just one!

LegendChu October 18th, 2016 12:28 AM

Oh & almost forgot the Pikaclone of Unova - Emolga.

Pika Pika :chu:

My absolute favorite would have to be Chandelure, but Gen 5 has some of my favorite Pokemon in general.

Imrul Quayes Adnan November 27th, 2016 5:17 AM

Nice choice. Chandelure is my favourite also. Actually for it's color.xD

Raichael December 27th, 2016 12:03 PM

I like quite a few B&W Pokemon. But I think my favourites have to be:
* Snivy/Servine/Serperior (I picked a Snivy)
* Oshawott (even though I'm not too keen on Samurott's design, Oshawott is such a cutie!)
* Munna/Musharna
* Litwick/Lampent/Chandelure
* Meloetta

Shitik December 28th, 2016 11:41 AM

Not in any order:

- Zebstrika
- Hydregion
- Haxorus
- Chandelure
- Zoroark

Probably many more that I've forgot. I'm sure of it.

Ok so since it is all about favourites... let's talk about Volcarona. Why is that your absolute favourite, what brings it over the line compared to say... Litwick?

When I first saw Volcarona, I really liked its design. I was also intrigued by its typing of Fire/Bug, and its move Quiver Dance. As soon as I could, I headed to the Relic Castle to catch it. And I didn't regret catching it. Whenever I went to battle the Elite Four again, Volcarona was the one who put up the most work.

Dragon January 24th, 2017 6:46 AM

Here are some of my favourites! Like... Reuniclus! http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/579.gif When the games came out, this Pokemon immediately stood out for me as one of the main reasons why I chose to play White instead of Black first! But yeah, it's a little on the slow side, but amazingly strong, and really durable! It's Magic Guard ability is sooo good so that it can negate any residual damage like from burns and poison, making it the perfect pivot for them!

Lilligant is another one of my favourites! http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/549.gif An awesome flower who has pretty impressive artwork! Like a floral woman, ohoho. I also like it's attacks like Giga Drain, Quiver Dance, and Sleep Powder which makes it a pretty potent sweeper if maybe you attach it with Hidden Power Ground or Hidden Power Fire! I use it on my White runs when I can too. Team wouldn't feel the same without her. :')

Another favourite is good ol' Mienshao, a great Fighting type! http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/620.gif I really love the artwork; like an advanced monk! It's also really fast, speed wise, and it has really strong moves like Hi-Jump Kick, or Drain Punch for recovery in-game. Regenerator for it is also amazing. Competitive wise, it makes for a great scouter, or a member of Volt-Turn cores, utilizing U-Turn! Another pokemon who I regularly use for my Pokemon White runs!

Ohh another strong favourite of mine is Volcarona. http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/637.gif It's really powerful once it gets a Quiver Dance going, using moves like Fire Blast, Bug Buzz, Fiery Dance, even Giga Drain from it's buff! A really strong special sweeper indeed! Love the artwork because it looks majestic-looking even as a sort of moth pokemon, colorful, and easy on the eyes too. I don't really get the chance to use one before post-game in the 5th gen games, however, because Larvesta takes too long to evolve, rugh. But when I get to, it destroys everythiiiing.

Haxorus is also really big and cool! http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/612.gif Like, I use one all the time while playing the original BW games, because it's really strong and especially outstanding with Dragon Dance and it's Mold Breaker ability! Like, I used this instead of going for Zekrom/Reshiram against N, and it managed to take the legendary pokemon down with just a slither of it's health left!

Another fav is Meloetta! http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/648.gif http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/648-pirouette.gif Cool, cool and cute Meloetta. Relic Song is a cool move; can make the foe fall asleep, and it changes form! It's really a surprise when it does; it gets a boost of speed compared to the original, and Close Combat hits haaard. I don't really get much chances to use it but it still is adorable!

Last one is Audino! http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/531.gif Super Audino. Super Audino is really helpful! Runnin' at the speed of sound, GOT ITSELF A SITUATION, IT'S IN A NEW LOCATION! But really, it's a blessing this thing exists cause it gives truckloads of EXP, but I also love how happy and sweet it looks; it's like.. the caretaker of pokemon, alongside Chansey and Blissey! Hadn't used it much in battle before, but I do admire it's talents. :]

ToWriteLove February 23rd, 2017 7:19 PM

Scraggy. Easiest decision. The Best. He is my second favorite Pokemon of all time, and when they had first been spoiled, I used to hate his design. I thought he looked stupid, the design was awful, was my least favorite from the gen. I ran across him in the desert, ready to knock him out, and then he did it. He did the thing. He pulled his pants up to his waste, stuck out his hands and I knew he was saying, "Ta-dah!" Been one of the best ever since.

Radiating February 24th, 2017 9:24 PM

Serperior is easily my favorite gen 5 pokemon.

Absolitetion February 26th, 2017 10:31 AM

Zorua/Zoroark - Zorua is really cute, yet mischievous. Zoroark was for me the Lucario of Gen V, and I used it when I played the game (which is very little, stopped after E4), and was really useful.
Emolga - One of my favorite Pikachu-clones. Just really adorable and I don't get the hate (but know the arguments.)
Braviary - Love the concept and design.

Ducolamia February 26th, 2017 5:11 PM

Volcorona! I love it's design, it's movepool, it's stat distribution, it's lore. It's amazing! I'd definitely have one in real life if it existed.

Sage_Guda February 28th, 2017 8:08 PM

Emolga - The first of Pika-clones I liked, probably because it has Flying-type, so it has a nice gimmick to its name.
Trubbish/Garbodor - OMG, THE GARBAGE POKÉMON, HOW CAN YOU- I don't know, it just grew on me, sort of...
Mienfoo/Mienshao - Though it's sort of bothersome having to wait up to Lv 50 for it to evolve, good grief, they're stylish.
Deino/Zweilous/Hydreigon - HAIL HYDRA- Nah, just kidding, but I do have a thing for pseudos.
