tell us you're favorite legendry water pokemon ! and what you like about it
My favorite legendary water Pokemon is Suicune. I just like the legendary beasts and in general like Johto's legendaries, and the region itself. It's one of those places in the Pokemon world like Hoenn and Sinnoh that is full of history. Above all I like Suicune because of it's increased visibility in Pokemon Crystal and HGSS with the Eusine plot. I love how Suicune is elusive but unlike the other two beasts in-game it's very approachable at the same time, and not nearly as challenging to obtain because it won't run once it decides that it wants you for it trainer. It observes you for a long time as you travel across Johto, judging when you are ready. This Pokemon has a strong sense of personality. I especially like the moment before you capture it in Pokemon Crystal, and think it's actually a more interesting and mystical conclusion of it's storyline than in the remake, though I really liked having Suicuine be able to follow me in Soul Silver. It become my signature Pokemon, and I enjoyed catching it in Kurt's ball and putting seals on it for decoration. Not to mention Suicune has a very elegant, mature and unusual design.
Suicune has always been quite strong, and I think it's the best of the legendary dogs, though I like all three of them. Whenever I catch a Suicune in-game I will name it North Wind in honor of the 4th Pokemon movie with Celebi. I consider Pokemon 4ever- Voice of the Forest to be an extremely underrated movie. As a big Studio Ghibli lover I am happy to say that the 4th movie reminds me of Hayao Miyazaki's films, especially Princess Mononoke. It would be on my top 5 short list of Pokemon films.
I also have the event Suicuine from the GameStop promotion for the 13th Pokemon movie Zoroark, Master of Illusion. It's the shiny one with the special move pool of sheer cold, air slash, extreme speed and aqua ring. I consider myself lucky but to have it.
I have a shiny Luvdisc, Skrelp, Corsola, and Seaking from chain fishing. (Funny enough when I found the shiny Seaking, "Ocean Man" came on my playlist 😳 so of course I named it Ocean Man) I also have a shiny level 16 Wailord in Sun.
You reminded me of another chain fished shiny. I forgot about Corsola. I picked up one chain fishing too in XY. I like that baby blue shiny. Nice sampling of water mons you got there.
I didn't get around to hunting Luvdisc, Seaking and Wailord but I approve! Congratulations of your haul of many shiny fish from the sea. That's a cool story about how your Seaking got it's most fitting name. I am going to have to go looking for shiny water Pokemon next time while Song to the Siren plays and follow suit. Maybe I will have your good luck?
I have a shiny Toxapex and Gyarados! Lapras is going to be my next hunt though. My favorite water types in order are Gyarados, Kyogre, Lapras, and Milotic. What I like about Kyogre is pretty much everything. Love it's design, cry, shiny form, Primal form, and I played the shit out of Sapphire as a kid.
Shiny Toxapex is gorgeous, I love the deep rose color of that shiny. With your shiny Gyarados and Toxapex, it looks like the red tones are your lucky colors my friend. Shiny Lapras is another just exquisite shiny, good luck on your hunt for it! I also just like this Pokemon in general. I think the Pokédex entries for this pokemon are interesting with all the mentions of it's high intelligence, and being able to communicate telepathically and understand human speech. It's also sad how it was hunted nearly to extinction, and makes me reflect wistfully on some of our own marine life here on earth.
Yes, Kyogre is simply stunning, especially the primal form with it's intricate, glowing markings. It looks positively otherworldly. This is a bit of a plot spoiler of a certain favorite Pokemon movie of mine but I wanted to add
Anyway, you made some great choices of favorite water Pokemon. I think most people know how I feel about Milotic and it's twin Gyarados :)
