Welcome to the second annual Favorite Pokémon Tournament here in the Pokémon Polls board, where our goal is to determine the favorite Pokémon of the users here at the PokéCommunity! This will be a tournament that lasts several months, where we'll pit almost all the Pokémon from different types together to determine a winner. After we know the winner of each type, we'll add all of those Pokémon to a final poll, where the winner(s) will be crowned champion, and be known as PokéCommunity's favorite Pokémon!

If you haven't had the opportunity, please read the Rules/FAQ to find out more about the tournament:


Spoiler:



  • Every week, two new polls will be stickied at the top of the Pokémon Polls board. 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 like to ensure your favorites get through. The Pokémon with the most votes at the end of the week will face off against the other winning Pokémon in a final poll to crown the champion!
  • In order to preserve space, we’ve grouped all of the applicable evolutions in a Pokémon family together. Some Pokémon (ex.: the Nidoran families) may be exempt from this rule.
  • For every poll, at least one runner-up will be added to a wildcard poll before the finale. This will give these Pokémon a shot at redemption, and one more opportunity to win the tournament.
  • In the event of a tie at the end of the week, Brendino will have the tie-breaking vote. Pokémon tied for first that aren't selected will be immediately entered into one of the wildcard polls.
  • Furthermore, members who vote and post for a majority of weeks during the tournament will receive an emblem depicting the winning Pokémon!
  • If there are any questions that you need answered, feel free to leave a comment in this thread or send a VM to Brendino to get it sorted out.





NOTE: Because of the number of Electric-type Pokémon and the limited number of poll spaces, not all eligible Pokémon could be included. If you want to vote for an unlisted Electric-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 will remain open until September 20th, so get voting!

My favourite Electric types are Pikachu, Raichu, Electabuzz, Jolteon, Zapdos, Ampharos, Lanturn, Raikou, Manectric, Luxray, Magnezone, Rotom, Zebstrika, Galvantula, Eelektross, and Heliolisk. Rotom, Lanturn, and the Chus primarily for their cuteness, the others for their cool designs and power.

Pachipa! I think anyone that even remotely knows me (or has read my username) needs no justification for this, but I just adore the cute little rodent and it's 100% certainly the Pokémon I'd choose to have as a partner if I could. It's such a cute little thing and is so much fun to use if you give it a chance, definitely a big favourite of mine.

Difficult choice given that so many Electric-type Pokémon there are that I really like. I chose Pachirisu though cause to me it's just too cute.

Voted for Thundurus and Electivire. I don't know why I really like the latter since it's ridiculously overrated, but maybe because it kicks butt in-game, idk. As for Thundy, he's probably the best OU pokemon right now and really helped me competitively as he can stop sweepers with Prankster Thunder Wave, shut down walls with Taunt, act as a physical wallbreaker if he switches into Defog or just hit hard with special attacks. Thundurus is ugly though.

I placed votes for Rotom, Thundurus, and Zekrom. Rotom because I always thought that beating someone with derpy appliances was a bit funny, and it's nice how it has a bunch of secondary types to choose from. Thundurus for mostly the same reasons as AmourPearlShipper said: it's great for competitive battles.

And Zekrom.....I don't need to explain that one, do I?

Voted for a couple - electric squirrels (Emolga & Pachy), electric Eeveelution (Jolteon), and the electric felines (Shinx, Luxio, Luxray) - wanted to vote for Raichu, but I hate it's first 2 evo's - 2 over 1 not enough reason to vote for it.

picked them all based the animal it's based on
(that's how I mainly choose my favorites)

My main choice of electric Pokemon definitely goes to Shinx, Luxio, Luxray - love their design, love felines a lot, it's been my main star in my feline team.
I ♥ Foxes and Cats!! - art i drew myself
instead of 'Catch 'em All' for me would be "gotta Pet 'Em All"

Here's the Electrics that love to spark me up:

Mareep line - Cute, and also very fluffy and strong. Also, Mega Ampharos is fabulous.

Zekrom - I love badass-looking legendaries and this one certainly captures that image.

Thundurus - My fave member of the Kami Trio, and of course I love blue Pokemon.

Helioptile line - Adorable as heck and I also love how they can actually use a move that counters Ground-types easily. I pretty much love the Dry Skin variant since it makes great use on rain teams.

Electrike line - I love the design of these wolf-like Pokemon, and it's special to me because it was on my original Hoenn team and I'm definitely gonna use it again in OR/AS.

And also every Pikaclone and Pikachu's line itself. I love those cuties hehehehehe

My favs are Ampharos, Lanturn, Raichu, Electrike/Manectric, Jolteon, Shinx line, Eelektross, Zebstrika, and Heliolisk ! :D

I never build a team without an electric type! And Ampharos is my fav, probably because mine carried me all the way through my first play-through of pokemon Gold! :)

Electric has always been a mixed bag for me. I like Electric attacks, but I'm not a huge fan of Electric types. That being said, I have a soft spot for the Shinx line, so they get my only vote. I like to call mine "Electricat".

I voted for Dedenne and Jolteon. Dedenne is by far the best Pikachu clone and being part Fairy is really cool too, Jolteon is just badass and has got the best design out of the original three Eeveelutions

This time I choose the Mareep line, the Chinchou line, the Electrike line, the Shinx line, the Blitzle line and the Joltik line.

Mareep line - Huge fan of all three stages of this line.
Chinchou line - I'm in love with Lanturn ever since I got that TCG card (forgotten the expansion pack name) and it was one of my aces.
Electrike line - Manectric is a cool Pokemon.
Shinx line - I've been using one since I first got Gen 4, it's a really cool evolution line.
Blitzle line - What can I say, horses are cool.
Joltik line - Joltik is a cute wittle bug, and Galvantula is a really strong Pokemon.

Voted for the Tynamo line, mainly because Eelektross is my favorite pokemon. It was also my first real favorite when I really got into pokemon. By real favorite I mean not the usual "gen 1&2 yeah Charizard and Mewtwo" favorites.

I voted for Manectric (my most favourite, love its Mega as well), Raikou, Zapdos (both these two I raised to Lv. 100 on my X file), Minun (cute and love its shiny), Heliolisk and Dedenne (loved them both when their artwork was first released and that hasn't changed) :)


I also think Tynamo's really cute but I'm not a fan of the whole line so I didn't vote for him. Looking forward to seeing how this one turns out :)

- Raichu: I thought Raichu was the superior mouse from the beginning. It actually irked me as a child watching the anime when Ash would refuse to evolve Pikachu, but I mean I understand now lolol.

- Jolteon: It's designed well and so usable. The way I see it if you grew up with Pokemon somewhere inside you you probably like Jolteon. Of course there will always be exceptions, but you get the gist.

- Chinchou: Such an interesting animal to be seen as a Pokemon. It's odd yet manages to still be cute in my eyes. Lanturn isn't bad, but it loses that odd ball look that I enjoyed with its first stage

- Mareep line: Nostalgia def plays a part here. I used Mareep throughout gsc. If I could change anything I wish Ampharos wasn't sheared.

I have yet to use many of the past two generations of electric types so I feel as though I can't properly vote for them even if some look great.

Gah, I voted for nearly all of them. Electric-types are my favorite. Luxray is easily my favorite Pokémon, and Raikou and Ampharos are high up there in my favorites. The only ones I didn't vote for was the Voltorb line. Lame designs.
