Zuruggu or Croagunk?



Today we will be taking 2 Fighting Pokemon to the battleground. On the right is Zuruggu (Scraggy) and on the left is Croagunk (Gureggru).

I prefer Croagunk because he is the most Pokemon-like of the two and I am quite used to him

Zuruggu is the one for me. It has pants for crying out loud.

I like both of them almost equally, but in the Anime, Zuruggu is one adorable Pokemon with a really appealing personality. Brock's Croagunk was also one of my favourite Pokemon, even though many considered his regular jabbing of Brock a bit boring.

Stat-wise, Scrafty is a bit better than Toxicroak and Scraggy's type combination is also unique as there is no other Dark/Psychic Pokemon other than it's evolutionary line. Inspite of this, I still love both of them equally. <:

Wow, I never notice that they had similar mouths. xD

I prefer Croagunk, because he actually has bones. Zuruggu looks like something I drew when I was four years-old. Zuruggu was an interesting concept, just bad execution. I prefer my Pokemon to be at anatomically correct. What saddens me is that Game Freak makes less and less Pokemon like this each generation.
I hated Zuruggu for the longest time and even put it on my list of the worst generation V Pokemon. After looking into though I found out it was based on youth subcultures and that somehow made me extremely interested in it. I just think the idea for it and how they incorporated it into a Pokemon is really creative. The whole concept of it being a lizard and its molted skin being its pants is just so impressive to me for some reason. Plus I think it might also have to do with the fact I once had a lizard as a pet and looking at Zuruggu reminds me of it when it used to molt. :3

On the other hand Croagunk has always been really creepy and gross looking. D: Not saying I wouldn't use it, but it's definitely towards the bottom of my Pokemon list.

No offense to those who like him, but I honestly hate Scraggy... I think he's ugly :< I know he's supposed to an ode to youth culture but he still doesn't appeal to me at all. And I think his pants look dumb.

I don't like Croagunk but Toxicroak is awesome so he gets my vote!
