Favorite Pok?mon Tournament 2017 : Bug (Oct. 6 - 13)

---

Welcome to the fifth annual installment of the Favorite Pok?mon Tournament, hosted here in Pok?mon General! The goal of the Favorite Pok?mon Tournament (also known as the FPT), is to determine the most popular Pok?mon/Pok?mon family of the users here at the Pok?Community. This will be a 10-week set of polls running between now and December, where we'll pit almost all Pok?mon of different types from past and present generations against each other to determine a winner. After we know the results of each type, we'll add all of those Pok?mon to a final poll, where the winner(s) will be crowned champion, and will go down into the record books as Pok?Community's favorite Pok?mon of 2017!

​

If you are new to the Favorite Pok?mon Tournament, or would just like a refresher on the rules/process of the event, please take a look at the FAQ posted below:​

Spoiler:

• Every week, two new polls will be stickied at the top of Pok?mon General. Each thread will include a different elemental type, and the list of Pok?mon to vote from.
• You aren?t required to pick just one Pok?mon- you can vote for as many as you'd like to ensure your favorites get through. The Pok?mon with the most votes at the end of the week will earn a spot in our grand finale, where the winners from all other polls will compete to be crowned the champion(s)!
• In order to preserve space, we?ve grouped all of the applicable evolutions in a Pok?mon family together. Some Pok?mon (ex.: the Nidoran families, Alolan formes, etc.) may be exempt from this rule.
• While regional formes have been included, please be aware that any Pok?mon that changes formes (Mega Evolutions, Pok?mon holding items, etc.) will only be included in polls with its original typings.
• In the event of a tie at the end of the week, all Pok?mon tied for first place will advance to the finale.
  
• If there are any questions that you need answered, feel free to leave a comment in this thread or send a VM to ?rendino to get it sorted out.
  

NOTE: Due to the large number of Bug type Pok?mon, not all eligible Pok?mon are present in the poll (inclusion is based on popularity from previous years' polls). If you want to vote for an unlisted Bug type, check the "Other Pok?mon" 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 are open until the 13th of October, so get voting!

The Finalists:

None yet. :)

​

 

[colours]

Volcarona, Venomoth, Shedinja/Ninjask, Ledian, Butterfree, and Beautifly for me!

Kinda surprising that those stand out as my favourites given I'm not exactly a huge Bug type person.

 

[Absolitetion]

Spinarak/Ariados for me.

I absolutely hate spiders IRL but I just love them both somehow design-wise.

 

[Somewhere_]

Other: Vikavolt

I also voted (on the list) for Kricketune and Vivillon

 

[EC]

Heracross for this one. One of the only usable ones.

 

[Sheep]

These two have grown high on my favorites list. I love them, especially the shiny forms! So teeny and adorable. Beautifly, Butterfree, and Mothim rank super high too tho. <3

 

[gimmepie]

Venomoth, Ribombee and Kricketune for me.

 

[Raffy98]

I don't usually like bug types, but I happened to use Scizor recently and I quite liked it.

 

[Desert Stream~]

Ledian, Yanma, Cutiefly (almost passed over it O_o) and Pheromosa. Lots of great bug types.

 

[Mister Coffee]

Ninjask is my number one favorite Bug Pokemon. Fantastic supportive Pokemon, does amazing things with Speed Boost, and is my second favorite Baton Pass abuser.

 

[pkmin3033]

I've actually always really liked Spinarak. It's kinda cute, even if it is missing a couple of legs.

 

[Star Arcana]

I've always liked the purple butterfly, and it was once my favourite Pokémon. I'm sure my fondness for Butterfree is evident by my current banner, haha.

Shoutout to Volcarona, Vivillion, and Cutiefly!

 

[Mewtwolover]

Heracross, it's useful in competitive play.

 

[noa]

Wow, lots of votes for the Volca family :o

Beedrill, Scizor, Ledian and Pheromosa for me! I'm drawn to their designs!

 

[Kostas]

Heracross! It's a very cool mon with an awesome design too!

 

[Cool_Porygon]

Scyther line and Joltik line. almost voted for Butterfree, Beedrill and Pheromosa but decided to narrow down my favourites.

 

[BlazingCobaltX]

Scyther/Scizor and Nincada line.

 

[Hikamaru]

I mostly voted for the cute ones, but my personal fave is still Vivillon.

 

[Eleanor]

Votes go to Scizor, Ribombee, Leavanny and Volcarona!

 

[FireSnow]

Scyther, Heracross and Sewaddle line. Bug isn't my favorite but I find these designs great and I love their competitive uses
