I love Mienshao, it's design, it's usefulness
(That thing is a beast on Psychics with U-Turn and Regenerator)
So, yeah, I gotta go with the kung fu ermine, Mienshao
 
Mienshao. Its design has something strange, very strange, but I like it nevertheless.
I'm supposed to prefer psychic-type but Beheeyem is for me one of the V gen disaster Pokémon, I completely lol'd when I saw it the first time.
 
NO don't make me choose between them!!! :( :( :( I like them both so much. I love their designs and I've used both and they're wonderful Pokemon. But I think I will go with Mienshao here because it looks better and I've made more use of my Mienshao than I have my Beheeyem. It's one of my favorite Fighting types anyway because it's not some huge brute Pokemon. It's sleek, slender, and cunning. And I like a lot of Psychic types over Beheeyem, it's pre-evolution included.
 
I love Beheeyem, but Mienshao wins my vote here. Like Sydian, it's one of my favorite fighting types, and it's really good in battle. I've never actually trained a Beheeyem before, and honestly its pre-evolution is cuter to me. :B

Plus Mienshao is purple, +1!
 
I predict Mienshao will win by a landslide, why do so many people love kung-fu weasels over funky aliens?

I guess Mienshao having higher Speed might be to do with it.
 
Although both are in my Top 10, I'm going to have to choose Mienshao. I love both designs, but Beheeyem just isn't as cool as Mienshao. If we're talking about battle, however, in a 1-vs-1 fight, I choose Beheeyem. It's too bulky for Mienshao to one-shot, and since Beheeyem has the Super-Effective STAB, it should be able to beat Mienshao 1-on-1. Add more pokemon, and then Beheeyem is doomed.
 
Mienshao is one of the few Pokémon that has succeeded extraordinarily well consistently on my OU team. Gets the moves it needs, and a great ability to cancel Life Orb Damage.

While I like Beheeyem's design, and I dig the pun GameFreak made in the name, it just can't win many battles. It's straight up outclassed by so many Psychic types.
 
Mienshao. It's the biggest, baddest powerhouse Pokemon I have ever caught/trained in Black/White. Its moveset is just INCREDIBLE. I was never into fighting-types until I encountered its pre-evolved form. :)
 
I'll go with Mienshao, Beheyeem doesn't look too bad but I prefer pokemon that remind me of animals.
 
Yaaay Mienshao won. Much better. :3 /unstickies

me @ late :x
 
I knew my beloved Beheeyem was going to get pwned by Mienshao fans.

I'll blame Beheeyem's low Speed for losing the poll. But it will still remain one of my personal faves.
 
This poll just proves my point that Beheeyem is underappreciated. It's definitely better than some Lucario-esque "anthro" mink. It looks a bit like Darth Vader with it's head, and it's not all that bad in fights, either. While it's outclassed by Reuniclus and Sigilyph, it's definitely better than Musharna, Swoobat, and Gothitelle. It's just stuck in the middle of the Psychics of Generation 5. Definitely Beheeyem.

Beheeyem is just ugly imo, I don't see what it's supposed to be, its design is just weird and kind of all over the place, doesn't seem to have a point

It's an alien. I don't see how that's so hard to deduce.

I really like both of these critters, but am going to have to follow the crowd and go with Mienshao. Having one in a team is just an absolute asset: it looks cool, it has great offensive stats and its movepool is to die for. Beheeyem is also cool - especially when combined with Trick Room to actually make it a powerhouse, but everything about Mienshao just works for me personally.
 
I've never actually trained or used either Pokémon, but simply based on design alone I'm going to have to go with Mienshao. I have never been much of a fan of Beheeyem to begin with, but I've always loved Mienshao regardless of never using one before.

One day I will train one though. Perhaps in B2/W2 maybe.
 
I was told to post here so I voted for Mienshao as my post in BW
 
Mienshao looks more interesting and has a great move pool and ability selection. Beheeyem is a cool poke, but lacks the same promise in battle.
 
Mienshao. Currently on my team now. Can almost pawn every single Pokémon in the game with Hi Jump Kcik!
