Your favorite Gen VII Pokémon

Pokémon Sun and Moon introduced 80 new Pokémon (not counting Alolan forms) of all kinds and sizes. Which one(s) is/are your favorites?

To soon for me right now, but you already know who I'm DIGGING with! *flips hair*

Seriously tho, my favorite Gen 7 would have to be.. Dicdeueye he's everything I wanted for a Grass Type to be this cool

From simply the artwork, my favourites are the Rowlet line and Oranguru. In fact, Oranguru is the reason I pre-ordered Moon and not Sun.

My favourite Gen VII Pokemon would have to be Incineroar. I loved it since the day it was leaked, and it easily convinced me to start with Litten.

Wait and see

Update: I added a poll to the thread because polls are cool. :]

(Had to leave out the legendaries though, because that would make way too many options.)

Ok, I really can't just pick just one for this region. Alola is full of awesome new Pokémon and I definitely think the variety is the strongest since the Sinnoh line-up! Narrowing it down to a top 3 would be Araquanid, Mimikyu, and Lurantis.

This was a multiple choice poll hehe!
I don't know why, but as soon as I saw Rowlet, I had a sudden obsession to the Pokemon. I mean, I would do anything in the world to get my hands on it. Don't worry though, its nothing creepy! :D
Other than that, the Grubbin line, especially the Vikavolt is super cool, Rockruff and both of its evo forms are amazing. The cherrim-like pokemon and its evos are awesome too. I am not very good at remembering names though, but the dragon type and its evolutions are no less, atleast the way they look.

Incineroar is the most precious pokemon to ever exist, I love him to death! I have both my phone and laptop completely filled with Incineroar pictures, something I've never done with any other pokemon so that shows how much I love him.

Alola overall has some really amazing designs, Rockruff line, Bewear, Tsareena, Passimian and Mimikyu are some of my favourites. There are really little pokemon I don't like this gen, I've even learned to like some of the ones I originally disliked like Pallosand (Even if I still hate the design of it's ''towers'', I guess the middle part of the design makes up for it)

It would seem too early to decide, but I've gone for Decidueye. Considering he's a starter, he has more chance to make an impression on me when I get the game so my decision possibly won't change.

Currently, my opinion on the new Pokemon (excluding Alola forms and Ultra Beasts) is like this:

New Pokémon I'm fond of as of now.

1. Popplio, Brionne, and Primarina
I've always been on Team Popplio, and since the adorable sea lion now becomes a majestic, yet powerful mermaid/siren, it would be really fun to use and raise as a close companion while I traverse through Alola. Water Types are usually awesome, and Primarina is definitely no exception.

2. Salandit and Salazzle
More manageable than Combee and Vespiquen, that's for sure, along with a solid Type combo and Ability to back them up in battle. Looking forward to using Salazzle's seductive, yet fierce nature in battle.

3. Wimpod and Golisopod
Wimpod could easily have been just another Dunsparce, but thankfully he gets to evolve into a much fiercer being. Now that Leech Life is buffed, Golisopod would certainly appreciate some fierce recovery while it dishes out some damage. Bonus points for keeping the Bug/Water combo at long last.

4. Cosmog, Cosmoem, Solgaleo and Lunana
Interested to see how a Legendary being part of an evolution line works out. Looking forward to using Lunala in particular. Solgaleo's equally as cool with it's Fire coverage.

5. Litten, Torracat, and Incineroar
A cat that becomes a heel wrestler that sports Houndoom's type combo. I'm actually okay with this. At least it effectively contrasts all those Fire/Fighting Type Starters in the past.

6. Grubbin, Charjabug, and Vikavolt
With some patience invested with this line on a team all throughout the Alolan adventure, one can make solid use out of Vikavolt. It knows Agility to work around it's low speed.

As Karen once said "Strong Pokémon. Weak Pokémon. That is only the selfish perception of Trainers. Truly skilled trainers should try to win with Pokémon they love best."

7. Yungoos and Gumshoos
Donald Trump jokes aside, Stakeout and Strong Jaw definitely give this diurnal Pokémon one heck of a niche.

8. Stufful and Bewear
Pink can make anything adorable, and these two bears are no exception. Being a natural Normal/Fighting Type with a new Ability that can benefit from Bewear's HP certainly helps.

9. Rowlet, Dartrix, and Decidueye
These owls are precious, and I love their designs. Decidueye's definitely a badass and worth using if you can muscle past how slow Rowlet and Dartrix are.

10. Steenee and Tsareena
While Bounsweet may not be the best Pokémon out there, raising it to become a Steenee and then into Tsareena later on, would be one big award for keeping it as safe as possible, in my opinion.

Hm...



These guys right now. I love many more, like Steenee and Togedemaru among others, but the above are among some of my very favorites. Especially Rockruff. I dislike dogs irl, but this precious babe is so cutie.

Having caught and used a Stufful for a bit now, I gotta go with that. The cry, the flailing, and tag on it's behind; it's just too adorable (and pretty strong as well)

Litten and it's evolutions (Torracat and Incineroar) are my most favorite this gen - so cute and adorable looking and with me loving cats was the main reason they instantly became top favorites of mine, I also like Solgaleo and also Rockruff and it's evo (forgot it's name)

I think my favorites are the Rowlet line, Salandit line, and Jangmo-o line. When I first saw Rowlet, I didn't really like it that much. But then I saw how cute it was and how fierce and awesome their evos are. Salandit I loved from the start what with the typing and smug grin and now that it evolved it's like a creepy velociraptor. I love it! Jangmo-o is ADORABLE and the typing is interesting as well. I love Hakamo-o and Kommo-o as well. The idea of it using its huge scales as offense (Clanging Scales, their signature move) and as defense is pretty cool. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely ADORE Litten and Torracat, but Incineroar could've been, idk, like a lava sabertooth tiger or something cool. I do find it weird that Incineroar is SLOWER THAN EMBOAR. (60 to 65)

No surprise the Rowlet and Rockruff lines are leading. This definitely makes me believe Game Freak will milk the promotion out of them as the "face of 7th Gen" like how Lucario and Greninja were the mascots of their respective generations.

My fave though is definitely the Popplio line. Primarina has majestic factor rivaling Milotic, as well as being the strongest special attacker of all the starters. So obsessed with having mine use his special Z-Move as well!

Minior is officially my favorite Gen 7 pokemon. The little gumball meteorite is fun to use with a pretty diverse movepool, and an ability that is actually really good. It comes in 8 different flavors too,

Oh, Silvally!
I'd been interested in Type: Null since it's release, then when it tore off the helmet in the teaser I knew I just had to have one!

Stufful! He's adorable, and evolves into tanks Bewear. Him and Pyukumuku, God I love that little sea cucumber 😊
