5th Gen [Whimsicott] vs Lilligant

[Squirrel]

Lilligant, just because it actually looks like a viable pokemon rather than that annoying fluff ball people like using so much... xD From a battling background, I do enjoy using Lilligant as a sweeper - people just don't expect it. Whereas Whimsicott is pretty widely used nowadays (especially in UU) so it's incredibly easy to counter.

Whimsicott wins out competitively - there's not much contest there, especially with that Prankster set. However, I don't like its design as much. Lilligant has a certain . . . well, elegance is the only word that comes to mind, thanks to its name. It's just much prettier. I don't battle competitively, so I'm largely concerned with ingame, and Lilligant wins there. Big Root + Giga Drain (which is now broken) makes it a decent threat, plus Quiver Dance, as well as the Own Tempo + Petal Dance combo for massive damage. Give it Sleep Powder as well and it's lethal to most ingame teams. So overall, Lilligant wins by a mile.

why am i in this forum did i wander in by mistake

So hard to choose...ugh...I think I'm going to choose Lilligant. Love 'em both to tears, though.

Whimiscott hands down for me. Prankster Whimiscott is freaking fun to use and is amazingly frustrating to oppose :l.
Whimiscott was one of the more hyped up pokemon that has now dropped down the ranks but still is amazing to cripple opposing teams to allow my sweepers to dominate.

Whimiscott ftw!

I preferred Lilligant's design and even though it has a very shallow movepool I found something that worked for me... Petal Dance/Sleep Powder/Dream Eater/Leech Seed. Sadly, no way of trapping, but Petal Dance + Own Tempo can still tear through lots of stuff :)

As for Whimsicott... I had White version, so I never used it.

I love them both..............*raffle* .....It is Lilligant XD

I can't say I was a huge fan of either with the inception of the game. At first Whimsicott design I thought was meh, and I still feel Lilligant design is so closely related to Bellossom which seems like a lack of originality. None the less I still like both Bell and Lilligant concept. I really haven't used either in battle so I really can't say which I would prefer.

For me it is Lilligant, for the sole reason that it is nicer-looking. Judging from the equality of the voting so far (17-17), I'd suggest that they are extremely similar and any difference is really a matter of personal preference.

But that's just me.

Woah, this is a very close poll.

*crosses fingers*

Whimsicott had tied due to appearance. :\ I find him cuter. :\

Yeah, actually what seems to be (and hopefully will be) one of our closest. This is also the poll I've had most of an interest in, largely supporting Whimsicott. I think Whimsicott also might be tied because Lilligant/Petilil had a big following early on (due to a certain moderator!), whereas Whimsicott didn't, and in design, Lilligant technically wins out with the "beautiful" design, and not everyone plays competitively so chances are they aren't aware how awesome Whimsicott is, sadly.

nicely said. I've been always a huge fan of Whimsicott. He is certainly one of the great Pokemon made in generation five. Yes, sadly, the truth is upon us. Not all play compettively, and many just based favoritism on appearances, and not usability. (though, I'm not saying that Lilligant is unusable. In fatc her own tempo + petal dance combo is deadly.) It's just Lilligant has a more obvious advantage over Whimsicott.

The poll is not yet finish. Have faith brothers.

Whimsicott. It's so FLUFFY! It also reminds me of Jumpluff, which I used to love using. I can't say I've used either, though. From a quick glance over, Whimsicott wins on the usability side of things. If Lilligant had more than just Grass offensive moves, then it might stand a chance, but it's just walled way too easily.

 

[TheGr8]

Whimsi mainly because of prankster but it is one of the most annoying pokemon to play against, its kinda like if you don't have one get one :)

 

[treecko's awesomeness]

Solely based on design, I'd have to say Whimsicott. Lilligant seems like a bit too much of a Bellossom clone.

Lilligant, because of it's Ability which prevents it from Confusion.
Useful for Petal Dance

 

[Pkmn Trainer Touko]

Lilligant! She's so beautiful! <3

 

[Kaleidoscop]

Whimsicott because of his design. He is an epic elfman, with great quirks that i can easily use.

 

[A Pixy]

That 'fro cracks me up every single time.

 

[Legendary Silke]

Lilligant because it grew on me after all these days, and I can relate to it more than Whimsicott. Petal Dance + Own Tempo is also a killer when you can get Lilligant to hit first. I know that Whimsicott can use status moves first in almost every case, but... I'm not sure whether having no direct attacks suits my style.

 

[chella182]

I went for Lilligant. They're both pretty cute, but I don't know... just something about Lilligant draws me to it more than Whimsicott. I don't use either on my team, though. My Grass-type on my team is either Maractus or Virizion.
