12.

I'm pretty neutral on Exeggutor.

 

[FeraligatrMaster]

13.

I like its design.

 

[ReKoil]

14.

The Alolan form was the first Grass/Dragon that wasn't a temporary form.
I'd rather have a Flapple though.

 

[CF1994]

15.

Alolan Exeggutor was even foreshadowed as far back as a late Gen I trading card game promotion.

 

[ReKoil]

16.

I prefer the Kanto form between the two forms.

 

[FeraligatrMaster]

17.

Me too, even though Alolan Exeggutor has the better typing.

 

[CF1994]

18.

It is admittedly difficult to fit Alolan Exeggutor onto your team, given how late you can actually obtain it or Exeggcute.

 

[FeraligatrMaster]

19.

In Johto, you can encounter Exeggcute by using Headbutt on small trees.

Safe.

Cubone is next in line:

11.

It's cute.

 

[ReKoil]

12.

I wish they had given it an Alolan form like it's evo, but it's okay enough.

 

[CF1994]

13.

Something about a certain skull lifeform that lives on isles of witches and awesome girlfriends, though I won't derail the subject any further.

 

[FeraligatrMaster]

14.

Cubone always wears a skull on its head.

 

[CF1994]

15.

There's also a complex theory on how it may have once been an orphaned Kangaskhan.

 

[ReKoil]

16.

It evolves at level 28.
The Alolan form also requires it to be night time.

 

[FeraligatrMaster]

17.

The Cubone line was initially excluded from the Galar dex, but got included in the Isle of Armor.

 

[ReKoil]

18.

It's HA is Battle Armor.

I will vote up. Pokemon can be surprisingly poignant sometimes like a Cubone mourning the death of their mother by wearing her skull over it's face. This also raises more questions than it answers, because Cubone always masks it's face with that skull. If taken at face value, then that would mean every cubone that you encounter lost their mother.

There are some species in our animal kingdom that die shortly after mating and giving birth, certain kinds of marine life for instance, but the whole Lavender Town side quest I think undermines the idea that explanation, and the darker one that Cubone kill their mother. The cause of death for Cubone and Marowak was humans poaching them, not something happening in nature.

More noteworthy is the fact that you can breed Cubone in-game, but fortunately the parent doesn't die, yet the newborn hatches from the egg wearing the skull helmet that's supposedly it's mother's remains.

The best I can do to explain it is that maybe there was once an ancient cubone that hid it's face with it's mother's skull in grief after she died, and then the species overtime evolved to look the way it does today because they are all descended from that ancestor.

20. Adds something unique with the skull. Probably looks boring without it.

Next up: Marowak

I like the Alolan form more, but the Kanto one is okay too.
