Favourite pokemon characteristics

[budube]

I don't know about most of you, but when it comes to my favourite pokemon, many of them have something in common: They appear to be really elegant or classy creatures (Milotic, Honchkrow, Roserade and Delcatty, to mention a few), so I could say that many of my favourite pokemon fit that description.

Now, how about you? Is there any characteristics that could apply to most of your favourites, like being the cuttest, the scariest, or maybe having an overall ridiculous design like my boy Garbage Man? If so which one is it?

I noticed, a while ago, that I tend to like the Pokemon with the saddest backstories. :/ Necrozma, Yamask, the Ultra Beasts (in the original SuMo, a pretty big deal was made of them being scared creatures pulled out of their homes), Victini (it spent 200 years in hiding)...Even Oshawott, one of my only favorite Pokemon that's relatively ''normal'', I originally came to love so much because everyone else was calling it ugly and I felt sorry for it. (And, well, I'm a contrarian by nature - but still! LOL)
If I may get philosophical here...I think on some level it's because I'm always the one being cared for by others in real life, and I like being able to do that for someone (or something) else in the games.

Good battling abilities are great to me too (even if i don't over play showdown so much anymore for reasons)
