What Pokémon would you hold in your arms/on your shoulder?

Time for something a little more wholesome!

Think Ash and Pikachu, or Misty and Togepi. What Pokémon would you hold in your arms or on your shoulder? This is excluding your original party of six if they're all too big. Any Pokémon would count as long as it's small enough to be held!
 
Well my first thought is to say Totodile since he's my favorite Pokemon :D I don't think he'd be that great to have on my shoulder or even in my arms. I get more of a walk along with me vibe for Toto. It would be pretty fun to have an Aipom though for the shoulder spot!

I love Aipom! Thought I was one of the only ones who would find it cute to have on my shoulder. Probably cause I saw it doing that in the anime, and it was pretty cute there!

+1 for eevee

For me though, I also like Poipole and Cinccino and those are both pretty small so.. <3 Poipole is probably better just floating near me though, but Cinccino can climb up on my shoulder. Gonna set weight aside to an extent, Cinccino is 7.5kg but Ash carries Pikachu and it's 6kg. Close enough.
 
Joltik! It's small, fluffy, cute, AND a spider. And since it's so smol I could carry it pretty much anywhere.
 
Pikachu or Dedenne! Look, you all know how much I love Mareep, but it's a little too big to carry around like that, it's a solid lil poof, so I'd prefer to carry an electric mouse or two.
 
I'm being pretty basic here but...Pikachu xD
I just love how the made it in Let's Go, it's too cute! Those tiny round red cheeks, the whole chubbiness, the personality...awww! It's too adorable!
 
I think I'd have to go with Eevee. It's my favorite, but it's also soft and fluffy! If I were to pick another Pokémon it'd probably be either Skitty or Alolan Vulpix, though - they're both very cute, and I honestly have really poor heat tolerance so carrying around an ice-type might help with that?
 
Spritzee! Even though it seems to do a bit of flying I bet it'd made for a great shoulder friend. (´▽`ʃƪ)♡
 
Shiny Eevee (GSC coloration) since I liken it to my fluffy grey cat who loves being cradled.

Spoiler:

I could also imagine Mothim riding on my head.

I'd probably have a Natu perched on my head, occasionally tapping on my skull, getting tangled up in my messy hair, and generally making my life miserable...but I'd endure it. Natu is ridiculously cute.
 
Think Hitmontop would be too big for me to carry so I'd probably have a Tyrogue or a Bagon or Rilou

I'm now thinking of carrying a Bagon in my arms and lifting it up like an airplane so it can pretend to fly, since flying is its dream, and that is too cute. ;_;
