Is that misspelling of Gorebyss in the poll on purpose? xP
I was just wondering the same thing o_O

Anyway, I've only used both of them for a short period of time, and that was back on Emerald. Seeing as how all Water type moves were Special Attacks back then, I had much better success using Gorebyss than I did Huntail. Neither of their designs really interested me, and I always found their were better (and easier to obtain) Water type Pokemon available to me, so I never went back and used them again.

So, from my limited experience with the two, I voted for Gorebyss.

Huntail has a weird look on its face that I find ugly so, although I don't really care for Gorebyss either, it still wins in this competition. :s

I guess I'm in the minority on this one. I do like both designs but Huntail got the nod for me as it was a version exclusive in the wild in the games which I ended up playing more (Black 2 and X). They do have their niches though.

I actually just traded a Huntail for a Gorebyss on the GTS. I've never used either in battle before, so I'm just gonna go with the one I prefer design-wise, which is Gorebyss. I just think she's very pretty. I think her RSE 'dex entries mentioned that she's also cruel and has a kinda gory way of eating her prey, but they decided to drop that in recent games.

So yeah, my vote goes to vegetarian Gorebyss.

More recently, Huntail. Gorebyss is cool and all, especially since it's pink, but the fact that it's possible for it to be male is just awkward to me. I've never trained either of these but am hoping to pick up Huntail sometime when I replay Sapphire. :3

I don't really like either. They're meh Pokemon in my opinion, but in this case, Gorebyss.

It's pink, looks elegant and has Shell Smash + Baton Pass. Prepare to grind your eyes out. Also, disturbing Pokedex entry. Interesting Pokemon.

I never used either, but Huntail is one of the ugliest pokémon there is imo ;) While Gorebyss is actually pretty. So Gorebyss gets my vote for that simple reason!

I always thought these pokémon were pretty obscure overall. Hardly even saw NPCs in-game use them.

These two never seem to show up in the games, haha. Easy to forget they even exist! Personally, I've never used either in-game, but just by their appearance, I prefer Gorebyss. Huntail looks disheveled and aggravated, as if he'd lash out on his trainer when prompted. On the other side of the spectrum, Gorebyss seems calm and peaceful!
