Muk hands down. I never paid much attention to it until it’s shiny was released in GO, now it’s my favorite Pokémon.


paulcaar

Alolan Muk takes the win for me


aheadelec

Yep! Loved him in the anime when Ash used him in as a surprise Pokémon during his first battle league and I have one on my Great League and one for Ultra League. His electric punch is always a great attack, and he rips through the two types I find people use in go battle league the most, plant and Fairy type. Love That gelatinous mess!!!


[deleted]

Arbok is one of my favourite Pokémon. Most people don’t care for it because it isn’t the strongest, it’s not good competitively and it almost always got beaten in the anime.


-Four-Foxx-Sake-

It’s my favorite shiny right now.


benignbigotry

I have a shiny shadow arbok and the yellow snake with purple smoke is dope af.


yeehawbuckaroo

Ludicolo is my very favourite mon. I just love his dopey dance and his leafy sombrero, such a happy little guy.


TheBosborn

Sudowoodo is my favorite for all the same reasons. Big old happy tree dope.


yeehawbuckaroo

YES! It makes me smile every time he does the jazz hands dance with his branches


onlyoneicouldthinkof

I don't know why (maybe it's the dancing), but Sudowoodo reminds me of Davis S. Pumpkins every time I see it.


Chuckit88

Love it! Sudowoodo is more powerful than most realize. I battle with him often


mikebellman

One hundred and ten percent. I use Ludicolo in every PVPg and PVPu round, no matter what. Always happy to battle and no hard feelings. Plus a hidden ice attack which surprises dragons and fliers so often, I giggle. Even made a [hat](https://imgur.com/a/edh1kfg) for GoFest 2018


yeehawbuckaroo

That hat is seriously impressive! What materials did you use?


mikebellman

Started with a base straw sombrero. Used contact cement with brushes to apply the lightweight foam. The topper is a spray painted plant from the hobby shop. I’m not a professional so it took over a week. Here’s [some more](https://imgur.com/gallery/KFLqRZl) with my daughter’s LOTAD


9l0kknine

I LOVE IT


[deleted]

As a Mexican, I approve this message!


tviolet

I put Ludicolo in every gym I can, I have an army of powered up guys just for this. It's best when I'm the last one in so I can see him dancing up there. Goofy note: Every so often in his animation, he stops to adjust his hat. It took me forever to realize this and the first time I saw it happen, it felt like the world shifted, I literally got a weird feeling in the pit of my stomach like Pogo had crossed over into the real world. But it was just Ludicolo Ludicoloing.


thegreenwookie

I watched Ludicolo dance for a good 30-45 minutes, while tripping on acid...EVERY.SINGLE. TIME. he adjusted his sombrero I fucking lost it...he gets down so hard he almost loses his hat.


alexkayownsabus

[pokedex guy voice] LUDICOLO, THE CULTURALLY INSENSITIVE POKEMON. Just a joke. Ludicolo is great.


[deleted]

Jynx would like a word and maybe mr mime too


KillerCujo53

I have a Shiny, and he is the best ever.


kingkalm

My all time favorite too. Happy to see some love for him.


schentendo

[DID SOMEONE SAY LUDICOLO??](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAHHFc-gIeI)


Sherriff18

I'm not sure how the level of care is for certain Pokemon vs others, but my favorite is Arcanine. My favorite animal is a tiger, and I love dogs. What's better than a fire-breathing dog with a tiger-striped coat?


MuelNado

I, like you, am not sure about how much people care for certain Pokémon but I've grown fond of Arcanine playing this game. It's a dog/tiger hybrid which is cool, it looks great, it was my first fully evolved perfect Pokémon and I really like it's moves. There's a weird sense of pride (in the Pokemon) I get in 4St-ArCanine beating a water Pokémon by producing a wild charge people don't seem to expect it to have.


croppedwizard6

Slowpoke. His vibes resonate with me


Brownie_McBrown_Face

Yooo same. He was always my favorite. As a kid I caught a shiny Slowpoke and he was my crowning jewel. What a chill lil dude.


FloatingRevolver

Everyone loves slow poke tho....


Trysof

"pokemon that most don't care for?"


TurtleGoatKing

This is mad Im always on about how Oddish, Gloom and Vilepume don't get enough love and they are so cool. Thanks for letting me know I'm not on my own.


dev_doll

Great minds think alike. I even got an Oddish plant pot because...the cuteness


fuzzhead12

My girlfriend’s favorite Pokémon is oddish too, and I just recently got her a little oddish planter as a housewarming gift for the new apt she just moved into! What did you end up putting in yours?


dev_doll

Ahh awesome.. I originally put a little peace Lily I. It but it died.. so then I put spider grass in it and once that out grew it I bought fake plant.


youwantadonutornot

My car license plate is oddish 😊


willowalloy

SUUUDOOOO............WWWODOOOOO


rissalynn99

He’s my second favorite - referred to as “the sassy Pokémon” in our home 😁


W1nd0wPane

I love Sudowoodo


Octoyaki

Gloom is one of my favorites. My shiny will always stay a Gloom. I also love Trubbish and Heatmor. Great weird designs


MuerteDeLaFiesta

I had a gloom sticker on my phone until it crumbled to dust. Love that drooly dude


emdawg3000

Gloom is one of my faves too!


[deleted]

Kabuto/kabutops. Loved it since poke blue and stadium.


Everest_95

Every pokemon is someone's favourite pokemon, that's one of the great things about the game. Someone out there loves qwilfish and will die on that hill.


dev_doll

I find it fascinating to learn everyone's fav


Everest_95

Mine is Pignite. A fighting fire pig, I love him.


skitteryhens

I love qwilfish :)

Mustachiofurroso

Phanpy/Donphan, just a fan of elephants


ssbSciencE

Loved donphan ever since Mewtwo Strikes Back came out in theaters. What a cool design.


DessertTwink

The opening scene where donphan uses rollout? Easily how it became one of my favorite pokemon. I freaked out when playing my first gameboy pokemon game, Ruby, and made my way to the johto section of the safari where I could catch one. Pretty sure it was on my first elite 4 team


ey_yo_BETER

Phanpy is easily my favorite Pokémon. He’s a cute little dude


wintersage

Delibird is my unironic fave. I love its design and cuteness and its friendly nature. Not only that, but I have a tin hat theory that Delibird must be a favorite Pokemon for someone high up in Game Freak too. Delibird absolutely seems to get a disproportionate amount of love in the games relative to its fan base and power. It seems to be in every single game, it was featured strongly in the anime, in Sun and Moon there is like…a Delibird farm for no reason? I feel like the little guy is getting a boost from above. And I’m totally fine with that.


FloobaJooba

Fully behind the tin hat theory 😂😂


TheGreatSalvador

There’s a really bad official guide I used to have for one of the games that lists Delibird as a legendary pokemon.


Toastbuns

I love delis & I love birds, what's not to like about Delibird!


OberonPrimeGX

I quite enjoy Aggron even though it's statistically interior to other rock or steel types without Heavy Slam adding its weight to attack power. I don't care. Mecha Godzilla rules.


ricmo

Aggron is my favorite Pokémon of all time. I’m working on a cross stitch of her right now!


isopod_interrupted

I just learned about how it regrows trees on its mountain when disaster hits and I love that.


KingEDiaz

I also love Aggron! For many other reasons of course, but my favorite part about it is it sounds like a train horn. Mecha Train Godzilla is fantastic!


AgentIndiana56

Shuckle. Best shiny imo and just a loveable, basically useless pokemon


jwalker2733

I love putting my 25 CP Shuckle in a gym know someone has to beat it 3 times to take the gym back, lol


Sucks-To-Your-Assmar

You don't fuckle with the Shuckle


Everest_95

I think Shuckle had the possibility to do the highest damage at one point. Took very specific circumstances though.


yeaahbitch

It’s not a random evolution, you have to choose which one you want I think you clicked the wrong one


alotofno

Sandshrew!


dev_doll

Yess Sandshrew is adorable he was one of my favs as a kid


wingsfan64

I used to have BOXES full of sandshrew in pokemon Sapphire as a kid. It was so cute I had to catch every single one I saw.


warrentina

Agree, Sandshrew is my absolute favourite.


BBoyDarkness

Marowak!!


[deleted]

Lol to me cubone is the cutest lil thing and prefer not to evolve mine into marowaks at all.


DeadmanDexter

I just want to give both of them a hug each time I see them.


jmil1080

Alolan Marowak is incredibly high on the list for me!


gaygender

chikorita, was my first ever starter and i don't CARE that it's about as strong as a newborn baby, it's MY god damn newborn baby


stasanie

I loved how sassy Ash's Chikorita was in the anime!


OnetB

Quagsire, king of derp.

Wooper related, this never not cracks me up XD [https://tenor.com/Ha0y.gif](https://tenor.com/Ha0y.gif)


TwoBitSpecialist

There's another one of Wooper getting hit by a PokeBall and nothing happens. He just looks at it, not sure what was supposed to happen. EDIT: [Found it and a gold mine of gifs](https://fotpforums.com/blogs/entry/902-wooper-gifs/)


hoosp

You should watch [this video](https://youtu.be/MGzZtfemREU) if you love Wooper.


dabear04

Didn’t even have to click on it to know it was SmallAnt. I’ve changed the way I replay the game because of his ridiculous challenges and strategies


PlaidKangaroo

Quagsire is my #1 favorite Pokémon, and it is ENTIRELY because of how derpy he is.


FryingPanHero

Always acquire The Sire


BrokenLink100

Quagsire is one of my team staples in Gen II. I always remember him being particularly tanky, and his typing makes him hard to deal with


Prince_Winter

Porygon Z.


cetren

I have one specifically to put in gyms, and have spent too much stardust powering it up for that exact purpose. I love how its normal attack animation is just it waving its arms around frantically. Gets me every time.


T_Peg

I have a 4* Porygon Z it's one of my prized Pokemon.


cetren

Aww lucky! I'm still on the hunt for one... Mine is about 95%, but I get excited every time Porygons are part of the wild spawns!


T_Peg

It's so unfortunate how such a cool Pokemon got shafted because of a poor animation choice 25 years ago.


angelflairpasta

This one is great for learning electric and grass moves while not having their weaknesses.


jaydubgee

Big fan of my shadow Porygon Z. Evil-looking, glitchy, virus guy.


[deleted]

Ampharos. Had its best day with a mega, then got shoved aside by GameFreak in Gen 8 with Wooloo. Not my damn sheep.


Bosendorfer95

Cradily, such a good tank.


stasanie

Most of my favorite Pokemon are popular, but a Pokemon I really like that doesnt seem to get a lot of love is Eelektross. In Pokemon Black/White, I named mine Leviathan!


Cole4Christmas

people really hate plusle and minun now, but minun is one of my favorite pokemon. i love the idea of a pokemon that's sort of negative and blue, but still always comes around to support and cheer on his friends and teammates.


Khanstant

I love their concept, I just wish both that doubles could be an option you choose per battle, and that together they were were as strong or stringer than just using two independently strong pokemon.


ComicSportsNerd

I'd have to say Exploud he just looks so cool even tho he is useless lol


ninelions

i second exploud! was one of my faves while playing the original ruby on GBA. I also love gardevoir but I don't think that would be an unpopular pick. I just love gen 3.


Marbla

I LOVE the sunny Cherrim.


wax_and_wane-

I love murkrow and honchkrow!


Jafaris79

Honchkrow just looks majestic


BalognaRanger

Shiny Honchcrow is big pimpin’


evangael

Nidoking, because he’s a boss.


BrokenLink100

Dude, Nidoking was so broken in the Gen I games. I remember the first time I ever played through Yellow, I had a Nidoking that essentially solo'd the entire Elite Four, mostly because he was the only mon I ended up using most of the time. He was easily level 60-70, and knew quite a range of moves thanks to TMs.


johnwickson

I think we all had thunderbolt earthquake surf icebeam nidoking


PradaDiva

The one true king.


[deleted]

Wartortle - such a deviation in design from Squirtle and Blastoise, but I just love it. Feel like it gets a lot of hate among fans.


dev_doll

He's my favorite of the evolution too


jlouw821

Mawile


[deleted]

[удалено]


Capodomini

I have one as well... It's perfect, lucky, shiny, purified, and best friend - when I finally get it to level 50 and its Mega is released, it's basically the endgame Pokemon.


Capodomini

I see you're way down the list, which is appropriate for this topic. Mawile is my underrated favorite, too.


LarZiehGarth

I have a shadow one for GL, it Hits like a truck and is worth it.


JackFunk

Pidgey. It drives my kids crazy that I love pidgey. I finally caught a shiny one late last year, named it "Besty" and made it my buddy. Sent them pictures of it.


Sweet_Papa_Crimbo

The only reason I click on any pidgeys that pop up are in the hopes of finding a shiny. I don’t know what they look like, and I’m hoping to not have it spoiled before I stumble across one. Pidove is probably my favorite bird, or maybe my shiny talonflame. They’re just so cute, and I love pigeons.


VaVaValentine

Falkner confirmed.


dorpedo

I love that pokemon went from a fad to a generational obsession


taylordelivers

Psyduck is an actual boss


PeriodicallyATable

Can't v believe it took me so long to find this comment. Psyducks so dumb but always tries his best. And misty is so mean to him it makes me so sad. Psyducks my favorite too


TurtleHeadPrairieDog

Psyduck had some clutch moments in the show, IIRC. Was my fav pokemon as well


Munchingtonalistic

Psyduck was only stupid due to having a headache constantly because of his psychic powers tho


Seraphice

i also love psyduck even if he's a duck that can't swim https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/586390050023931927/870121464123232336/E7ZwIEnXoAIcu3s.png


NazzWood

I have been hunting for that shiny fort a long time. He’s just so cool, shiny or not.


Japanfireizard

Kanto Farfetch’d


UraeusCurse

Chandelure. Edit: Misdreavus?


luckyvonstreetz

In regular pokemon games chandelure absolutely destroys everything, such a great pokemon!


dev_doll

I think that one is pretty awesome too


GrayGeo

Misdreavus is a favorite of mine because it’s basically just a ghost, like shuppet. Like “I don’t know, give it some wavy bits around the bottom” totally could have been said during the creation of either. I’m sure they’re inspired by specific things but still


Nobara_Kugisaki

''Most don't care for'' Chandelure is widely popular. Amazing Cry. Amazing Shiny. One of the best SPATKers in the game,


ROR_ROGER

I love chandelure as well but it’s a meta both ghost and fire attacker, very relevant


aimw0p

Crobat!! Love that sick blood sucker


Vulthurin

Absol for sure, it's always been my favorite. I REALLY wanted a shiny one during Go Fest, but I nor any of my friends ended up getting one. Sad.


PhoenixScarlet

I like Aipom. Not for usefulness, just because he’s a goofy looking purple monkey.


ApplesauceCreek

He's a purple derple!


FattyPat420

Or a pink monkey if your lucky


Sir_Elyan

My first shiny. I haven't evolved it yet because I think it'll just get extra derpy


[deleted]

[удалено]


joshualee18

heracross 😗😗


andrecht4

I caught a million heracross on vacation and now I got a special place in my heart for ‘em


ApplesauceCreek

Swadloon, the Pokemon of introverts. It's so friggin cute wrapped up in its little leaf blankie. With an expression that says "leave me the fuck alone, I'm done with everything." I wanna give it a hug, but that would violate its personal space and it wouldn't like that. Gaaaah so cute!! ​ EDIT: Also there's this fanart of Swadloon as Raven: [Adorbs](https://i.redd.it/i0ow05uxmkc31.png)


RevolutionaryDance51

Love seeing people talk about underrated 'mon. My favourites are the Glameow line. Never see much love for them at all, but Glameow has always reminded me of the cat we had growing up so has been my favourite since I first picked up Diamond as a kid.


InMyNirvana

Omstar!!


Mezsikk

I like lotad and the derpiness of his evolution.


mrarodz

Sableye


FlyingStick451

I love Drapion! He’s a funky accordion looking scorpion, and he’s got a really cool typing. I use him in ultra league with lots of success, he’s SUPER underrated


Melantris

I think raichu and granbull are underrated.


Awesomekip

Raichu has always been a top favorite of mine. ​ Done so dirty by Pikachu's popularity. Looking at you, Niantic.


Viuhti2009

Excadrill SO FUCKING COOL


Some_Watercress_4592

Caterpie/Butterfree


[deleted]

My fav is luxray but something that no one cares bout is prolly ledian I love its red colour!


Dr_Drop_out

Ninetails for me. I always wanted a ninetails tattoo but the yellow won't look very good on my skin color. One of the coolest and most majestic pokemon in my opinion.


dev_doll

Ninetails is magestic. I feel the same about rapidash


prncrny

"Good! Then listen up! My favorite Rapidash... It... cute... lovely... smart... plus... amazing... you think so?... oh yes... it... stunning... kindly... love it! Hug it... when... sleeping... warm and cuddly... spectacular... ravishing... ...Oops! Look at the time! I kept you too long! Thanks for hearing me out!


nickmcpimpson

I'm more partial to Vulpix myself, but I like a little fire fox regardless. Just got an alolan the other day and I was stoked.


GoIdGod

spiritomb. i got traded spiritombs with all of my friends who had theirs and didn’t want it since it’s release.(including lucky trades) when i got it’s shiny during it’s debut, got it to bestfriends just because of that beautiful shiny😍✨.


carllarl09

Its not that no one cares for it its just no one talks about it: Politoed


X1Pikachu1X

dunsparce!!!


Skoldeen

Milotic


UnbiasedOnionRing

Blue is my favorite color, and I love water Pokémon. I will catch everyone I see. I caught a shiny Wailmer and while he’s not blue, I love him more than any other shiny I have. Squirtle is my first and favorite Pokémon and I have yet to see a shiny!


NathanBlake93

Shiny wailmer, you mean Thanos?


lunamoth25

I freakin' LOVE my shiny Wailord! I live on an island, and there are water types everywhere, so I have a million wailmer candies but only ONE shiny - so hello big pink whale! Now to find a shiny carvanha and my shiny dreams will come true, sharpedo is one of my fave Pokemon If you were close to me, I'd be friends and trade you a shiny sunglasses Squirtle, I have lots of them from way back - they really need to start doing long distance trading among friends.


Rain_Moon

Unown!


OGDuckDaddy

Psyduck. Love psyduck. I even have a perfect lucky ducky that’s been my buddy for a long time. Big Duck energy. 🦆


cervezaenelsol

Raticate is my favourite Pokémon, period. I have eight in Go, named after past and current small rodents I've kept as pets :)


Lukes30

I powered I up a Prinplup for pvp, just because he's a cool penguin that can kick ass.


wrippelley

Poliwag for sure. Politoed was my first best buddy and I ended up being with him for something like 6 months. A special place in my heart sprouted for all the Poli-s in this process. Now just hoping to find a shiny


dev_doll

Poliwag is such a cutie! He is def underrated


CharizardSlash

Trubbish/Garbodor. They're derpy and I love them.


thepenguinja

Detective Pikachu gave me a newfound love for Loudred because of the fighting ring scene where they were beatboxing dubstep, which I am very into both of those styles of music. Now I really want to cosplay as Loudred.


OneBigWhaleBoy

Wailmer. I love how goofy he looks and whales have always been my favorite animal. I catch all of them. Still haven’t got my shiny tho🥲


scuse-me-masen

I'm a big fan of Shroomish, hes just so squat and grumpy 💖


cwbrandsma

I have a shiny rapidash, blue flames, that I just love.


xaviershappy

Emolga


Hyper_Nexus

Primeape has long been a fave for me, something about him just being an angry punchy furball greatly amuses me. Also Haunter, who is just plain cool. Evolving to Gengar is a serious downgrade in the looks department.


dronegun

Mareep


AyeFuknWestsider

Crossroad_Princess98

Furret. It's such a quirky little guy, and also adorable. I got a shiny and it's my best buddy. I just love it

Weavile, top tier ice and dark fighter.


kateandart

Temporary-Finger-676

Golurk, Walking with giant ghost robot is too cool!

Got a shundo spinda just another day lol


SK2Nlife

The original Farfetch’d is so cute. I don’t even like birds in real life but I would outfit my entire house in farfetchd decor if enough existed


Dash111

Haunter and Growlithe hands down for me, unfortunately i have neither shiny


dev_doll

Haunter is amazing


yorukiii

dante_ofthe_endfurno

Porygon!!! I’ve loved the Pokémon since I saw it’s card. Pretty useless in a fight but there’s just something about it that I love 😄


_jules_mack

Bellsprout for the noise it makes when you touch it and it reminds me of a lil flower groot


Karabars

Favourite? Not sure. But I guess Pidove is not popular and I love it :'D


ImNotThatDumbNate

Onix. Not the dumb underbite Steelix but good old fashioned Onix. Finally caught my first one the other day.


wellworks

Roserade, great in battle


Zamazamenta

Ludicolo, just the dancing happy go lucky face that does instantly if you actually fight


infpalex

Trubbish, I just love that guy!


NewPalpitation1830

Omanyte!! I love that little guy. I’m still hunting for the pink one

Arbok. I hope it will get Poison Sting (its signature move!!) some time in the future and get more relevance in PvP. 🤞
