Favorite Pokémon Tournament 2017 : Rock (Oct. 6 - 13)
 






Welcome to the fifth annual installment of the Favorite Pokémon Tournament, hosted here in Pokémon General! The goal of the Favorite Pokémon Tournament (also known as the FPT), is to determine the most popular Pokémon/Pokémon family of the users here at the PokéCommunity. This will be a 10-week set of polls running between now and December, where we'll pit almost all Pokémon of different types from past and present generations against each other to determine a winner. After we know the results of each type, we'll add all of those Pokémon to a final poll, where the winner(s) will be crowned champion, and will go down into the record books as PokéCommunity's favorite Pokémon of 2017!

If you are new to the Favorite Pokémon Tournament, or would just like a refresher on the rules/process of the event, please take a look at the FAQ posted below:


Spoiler:
  • Every week, two new polls will be stickied at the top of Pokémon General. Each thread will include a different elemental type, and the list of Pokémon to vote from.
  • You aren’t required to pick just one Pokémon- you can vote for as many as you'd like to ensure your favorites get through. The Pokémon with the most votes at the end of the week will earn a spot in our grand finale, where the winners from all other polls will compete to be crowned the champion(s)!
  • In order to preserve space, we’ve grouped all of the applicable evolutions in a Pokémon family together. Some Pokémon (ex.: the Nidoran families, Alolan formes, etc.) may be exempt from this rule.
  • While regional formes have been included, please be aware that any Pokémon that changes formes (Mega Evolutions, Pokémon holding items, etc.) will only be included in polls with its original typings.
  • In the event of a tie at the end of the week, all Pokémon tied for first place will advance to the finale.
  • If there are any questions that you need answered, feel free to leave a comment in this thread or send a VM to ?rendino to get it sorted out.


NOTE: Due to the large number of Rock type Pokémon, not all eligible Pokémon are present in the poll (inclusion is based on popularity from previous years' polls). If you want to vote for an unlisted Rock type, check the "Other Pokémon" option represented by a (?), and leave a post with your vote.


Now that you know what the tournament is all about, what are you waiting for? Polls are open until the 13th of October, so get voting!




The Finalists:

None yet. :)

All hail Aerodactyl, the flying rock!

colours October 6th, 2017 8:40 AM

Rockruff family, Larvitar family, Regirock, and Omanyte/Omaster are my favourites!

Also tossing in my votes for Anorith/Armaldo because they've been one of my favourite fossile Pokemon for years. ?

Absolitetion October 6th, 2017 10:32 AM

Rockruff line all the way for me.

ErleCave October 6th, 2017 12:34 PM

My vote goes to Rhyperior, Omastar, Tyranitar, Aggron, Cradily, Tyrantrum and Carbink.
Another pokémon i would have voted for but isn't in the list is Minior.

EC October 6th, 2017 2:51 PM

Ah good, this feature is back. This time around I'm only going to vote for one Pokemon each time.

For this poll? Regirock.

No competition there. Diancie is my spirit Pokémon, and Carbink is adorable also. I love them a whole lot and they'll (especially Diancie) always be my #1 rocks.

Huge mentions go to Rockruff's line, Amaura's line, Larvitar's line, and Aron's line though. Aggron is hella awesome.

Cool_Porygon October 6th, 2017 6:44 PM

Larvitar, Aron and Rockruff lines.

Brendino October 6th, 2017 11:28 PM

Minior was the final Pokemon that I cut from the list, but seeing as how a few people have voted for it already, I'll add it to the poll with at least 2 votes (if anyone else who's already chosen wants to add a vote for Minior, let me know!).

gimmepie October 7th, 2017 2:37 AM

Voted for Cradily, Archeops, Carbink/Diancie and Nihilego.

LilyGardy October 7th, 2017 3:04 AM

Voted for Rockruff line and the Diancie line.

Indeed Midday Lycanroc is my favourite rock type.

Raffy98 October 7th, 2017 4:25 AM

Geodude line and Rockruff line of course.

Desert Stream~ October 7th, 2017 6:40 AM

I voted for Diancie and Auroras

Mister Coffee October 7th, 2017 10:25 AM

I picked Cradily and Minior. Cradily was one of the first Pokemon I ever used to perfect my breeding techniques back in 4th generation and I used it for a really interesting competitive team where it filled the role as my primary stalling Pokemon. Have some good memories with that Pokemon.
I have been using Minior as one of my primary sweeping Pokemon in my current competitive team on Moon and my goodness it has absolutely impressed me. It's use of Shields Down is an incredibly humongous advantage to this little guy whether they are up or down. Plus it is nearly extremely difficult to KO this Pokemon, while his Shields are up it's nearly impossible to land a solid hit on it and when his Shields are down it moves so fast not much can keep up with him.

Ida13 October 7th, 2017 10:47 AM

I voted for Lycanroc
Where is dusk form here?

I don't think Dusk form has a readily available minisprite to use on the poll yet, so just assume/pretend it exists in the line of existing Lycanroc sprites. ^_^

pkmin3033 October 7th, 2017 11:03 AM

Bastiodon, as my all-time favourite Pokemon, and Onix, for being...big. It was a big deal back then! Especially considering it had so many appearances.

Come on guys don't let furry bait Lycanroc Midnight win this...

Mewtwolover October 7th, 2017 2:53 PM

Lycanroc FTW! Its Midday form is so cute.

noa October 7th, 2017 6:40 PM

The only rock-type line I've ever been truly drawn to is the Larvitar line.

Kostas October 7th, 2017 10:45 PM

I voted for Lycanroc too. I just love this dog

BlazingCobaltX October 8th, 2017 7:52 AM

Roggenrola and Rockruff lines.

Hikamaru October 8th, 2017 2:02 PM

I voted for all of the 6th/7th Gen ones due to their designs and concepts, but I did also vote all of the fossils and Tyranitar because well, it's popular.

Eleanor October 10th, 2017 6:52 AM

I voted for Roggenrola and Rockruff lines, but also Nihilego and "Other"...
That "other" is Terrakion!

FireSnow October 10th, 2017 9:57 AM

Lets see....Lycanroc, Lycanroc, Lycanroc and uhhhh.....Lycanroc

My love for Midday Lycanroc, Rockruff and Dusk Lycanroc (when its eventually released) is neverending

I also threw votes to Onix and the Geodude line (cause OG Golem is awesome)

LilyGardy October 10th, 2017 11:09 AM

Thought the Rockruff line would do well here and it is. :)

Hikamaru October 11th, 2017 7:05 PM

I noticed how huge of a lead Rockruff's line has. Looks like the end of Tyranitar's run of always winning this type's round has come.

Brendino October 13th, 2017 6:55 AM

Thank you to everyone for voting in our first week back here in the FPT!

In a (sort of) surprising poll, this one was a complete runaway, with newcomers Rockruff and Lycanroc pulling off nearly 20% more votes than any other competitor, and earning their first trip to the finale! Coming in second place were perennial Rock type favorites Larvitar, Pupitar, and Tyranitar, with Aron, Lairon, and Aggron placing in a distant third place.

The next round of polls will be up later today, so check back soon! And if you haven’t seen the Bug type poll results, be sure to check those out, too!
