[Sword & Shield] Favorite Gen 8 Pokemon?

[Adam Levine]

Indeedee, if only for how simple yet intriguing its design is. Helps that it's cute, too.

Shoutout to Barraskewda but I have to pick Perrserker!

I used to be OBSESSED with Sirfetched before I got Sword, but then whoops, too lazy to evolve him. Now I like Impidimp (Hopefully I spelled it right) because I love the design. Fight me.

Funny, I caught Impidimp's second evo before hatching my own, but the third evo...eeeewww keep my pink emo boi pure okay?

I also like Yamper a lot.

Honestly though, I never fight with 99% of my Sword Pokemon. I honestly beat the whole game with just a Cinderace (gotta add that to my gen 8 favs list) and a Drapion. Those are the only two I have in my party. Everyone else is boxed. Ahahahahaha i'm so done! *insert maniacal laughter here*

I actually really like Sinistea? I liked Polteageist when it was revealed, but I've kinda gone off it a bit because it looks so awkward in-game. Sinistea is kinda adorable in a weird way...the tongue animation is creepy and disgusting, but it's not as bad as some, and I absolutely love the name. It's not as awkward as "Polteageist" (which, whilst clever, doesn't roll off the tongue in the same way) and...idk, it's cute.

#823 Corviknight

Keeping myself away from the spoilers of the released Pokemon when I first encountered this majestic bird I really wanted to have one :> It's also super huge ._. it's taller then me in real life.

Then I saw the shiny version and yep.. That's my vote :)

From what I used I really liked Galarian Weezing and Eldegoss. I wish the latter had a wider movepool though.

I want to use Frosmoth sometime, but its typing doesn't seem favorable. Besides that I also want to use Grapploct. Since I haven't used these two yet I can't say they're true favorites but from a design standpoint I really like them.

 

[Ninetales]

Hatterene is the standout for me. I absolutely love it.

Other than that, my favourites are:
Cinderace
Zacian
Corviknight
Alcremie
Frosmoth
Galarian Rapidash
Grimmsnarl
Nickit

Falinks is easily #1, but Appletun & Rolycoly are also top picks. I've also had Dracozolt grow on me, though I haven't had a chance to use it yet.

I still think Falinks is the first Pokémon I've ever seen and just immediately though "I need this", especially due to not looking at any leaks beforehand.
Never understood the hype for Grimmsnarl though. All that hair is just... weird.

Falinks is easily #1

Dude... You're my hero

Nickit is adorable also! I like its evolution too, but the first form is perfect as it is. Shiny form looks great too. <3

Dragapult !!!!! Best one ! I love the art with its fading tail, so smart!

 

[Sirfetch’d]

Sirfetchd for sure! He has actually overtaken castform as my favorite Pokémon overall. Falinks is up there too. I really like most of the new Pokémon

 

[EmTheGhost]

Definitely Yamper. As soon as I heard that the next region was gonna be based on the UK, I started looking forward to a corgi Pokemon, and it did not disappoint. It has a heart-shaped butt! It's shaped like a loaf of bread! It fetches balls! Agh, it warms my heart just thinking about it. <3

Some other favorites are Dracozolt, Dracovish, Alcremie, Inteleon, Galarian Ponyta and Eternatus (although I don't like that one as much as I thought I was gonna :[ )
