Memorable Pokémon (Individuals) That You Had

My shiny Pidgeot who's currently chilling in Bank.
This was during my childhood. I was half asleep, hunting for Ditto in LeafGreen. I closed my eyes, only to be woken up by a very distinctive sound - lo and behold, a golden Pidgey appears on my GBA. It was the first shiny that I ever caught and takes me back to 2004/2005.
 
My very first was a charmander, in red on GBC. My first non-gyarados shiny was accidental, it was a venipede in X that I didn't even know was shiny and caught purely on a whim (I dont try to catch every new thing I see).
I loved gens 1-3 as a kid but then had kind of stopped paying attention to pokemon, but a playtrhough of Ruby (swampert, flygon, starmie, gardevoir, groudon, absol) got me back into pokemon big time (I have since gotten games from gens 4-7). I was really attached to this team adn while I haven't thought about them in a while, I definitely owe them my current passion for the franchise.
I also have a few shiny pokemon that were given to me by my friend whom I bonded with over our shared love of pokemon as adults, something that hadn't happened to me for over a decade, so that was dope
 
There's so many, but I'd say my most recent one was Judith the Galarian Rapidash. A friend of mine caught one and traded it to me so I could use it in Sword. She ended up being the MVP of the run and nearly swept Leon's team because she was just terrifying. The only member of his team she didn't eat for breakfast was his Charizard. She was definitely memorable.
 
I've had Shield for a while now and I feel I must add my Galar team, which I find to be endearingly wacky: sweet, cuddly doggy Arcanine, the first of his species I ever had; menacing-looking but childish Corviknight that always wants to play fetch; big, scary, yet Timid-natured Obstagoon with 31 Speed IVs; and rocker girls Rillaboom, who can't stand still, and Amped Form Toxtricity, who plays her electric guitar chest at foes (Toxtricity as a concept is so delightfully ridiculous to me).

My starter Inteleon, Serious by nature, looks comically posh and gentlemanly leading this silly team. I always imagine Obstagoon and the girls playing spy movie music for him when he battles, which makes him funny too.

Nidoqueen named Ivy was my first ever caught Pokémon from Yellow and she was the best Pokémon I've had on my team. She was the reason I even got through Brock and was the one to take down half of Blue's final team. To this day I still use name Ivy for female Poison-types as a tribute to her.

I also love my whole team from Sapphire - Swampert, Gardevoir, Dustox, Torkoal, Tropius, Linoone and Hariyama. This was the first team I've beat the game with. There are seven members, because I decided to swap Linoone for Hariyama I caught in Victory Road. They also don't have nicknames, because I had German copy of the game and had no idea how to give them nicknames back then.

Audino, nicknamed Gabca was Pokémon I've caught during on Challenges event and she became the MVP of the run. And I had Haxorus and Krookodile on the team. This also spawned my love for Audino for years.

And finally, another female Pokémon... This time shiny Primarina Deni and shiny Lopunny Linda from my current Shiny Badge Quest in Ultra Moon. I spent so much time getting them, but it was worth it. Deni took down Ultra Necrozma in two hits and Lopunny is overall great Pokémon that helped me in many trials. I can't wait go get Lopunnite and Mega Evolve her. I hold dear all my Pokémon from this run, but these two are the aces of it.
