    Hmm...either Sinistea or Eternatus, I think. I like the former because it's pretty damn cute - the naming is clever and it reminds me of Chip from Beauty and the Beast only without the excessively obnoxious voice that made me hate Chip as a character, haha - and I like the latter because it's a futuristic neon skeletal dragon thing and even if it has one of the worst alternate forms imaginable the base form is pretty awesome.

  • Either Galarian Rapidash or Obstagoon for me: Obstagoon is such a badass design and they've made one of the most forgettable rodents for me one of my favourite Pokemon and Galarian Ponyta and Rapidash fit with my vibe so much I just adore them :3 (just realised both of them are basically either side of my personality LMAO)

  • Obstagoon for sure, Guts plus STAB Facade claps cheeeeeks. Obstagoon is also pretty fast and gets switcheroo so you can nerf a physical attacker on the opponents team.

    Dude, I forgot about Rillaboom! 😂 I think it actually varies between Rillaboom and Obstagoon depending on my mood.

  • SirFetched was one of the main reasons I got Sword over Shield so I like him. I also like Impidimp because...I really don't know I just do. Cinderace I like too because I have that one in Sword.

  • The moment I saw Sobble in the announcement direct, I knew it was my favourite starter. In terms of non starters, Wooloo and Toxtricity are my favourites, in terms of legendaries, Regieleki and Calyrex.

  • Right now, it's kind of a three-way tie among Indeedee, Falinks, and Dracovish.

    Something about Indeedee's design just kinda clicks. I like its color scheme and its horns.
    Falinks is also a really neat spin on a Fighting-type and it's pretty cute too.
    Dracovish is...weird. And that's exactly what I love about it.

  • I love Grimmsnarl. Fairy-type isn't my favorite type, but Grimmsnarl's design really appeals to me. Corviknight is another favorite of mine because I like crows and ravens in general.

  • Well, Galarian Rapidash became my top favorite Pokemon altogether. I was worried that GF would somehow mess up Galarian Rapidash by overdesigning, but what resulted was actually great. I know a lot of people wanted an alicorn evolution, but I'm perfectly fine with Galarian Rapidash as it is.

    We definitely need a pegasus Pokemon, though!

    For entirely new Pokemon, I love Zacian. Zamazenta is great, too, but I really adore Zacian. These are probably my top favorite legendaries.

    I absolutely adore Corviknight. It's became my second favorite Pokémon. I like the design, and seeing it on the mini series from Pokémon: Twilight Wings made me fall in love with it even more.
