Altaria never stood out that much until my Alpha Sapphire playthrough where it was a beast that could sweep through most of the Elite Four.
Same applies for Azurmarill in my X playthrough.
Also helps that both are pretty cute.

Never really gave blissey much thought until I tried her in the maison super doubles/triples.
Choice scarfed serene grace rockslide is hilariously broken with flinch hax.
This guy always killed me in ecruteak city and I hated him for that, but I've started to get a liking to him

What the fuck
Too bad its stats suck and Contrary isn't used to its advantage.
Damn you Game Freak...
I cannot hate the edge
I largely ignored it because it looked really strange to me. But after raising one of my own I now realize how adorable it actually is.
Absol is Cute!

more?
Clefable. No reason. Just started using it a lot more

Anon did it again
The absolute madman
>>27861498
anon, this is the nature, this is how pokeeggs are made, nothing to be ashamed
I ignored it until I used one in a Nuzlocke.
>>27861136
it turned out the opposite for me honestly. i thought absol getting a mega would give it the bulk it needed to be able to 100% crit sweep teams, but it just reversed exactly what it was to begin with. whats with all the special attacking sets, i mean really???
>>27861089
There was that one build where you abused Assist with Victini's V-create.
I learnbto like a lotof mons after Nuzlockes.
I've learned to love Roserade, Vileplume, Crobat, Altaria, Raichu, Noctowl and Ratticate from my recent Nuzlocke runs.

Came here to post this. What a great pokemon

I had ignored Mawile for a long time because it looked so strange. Later on, I found out that I was looking at the back of Mawile and when I saw the front I grow to liking it. Over time, it became my favorite Pokémon.
>>27858540
Croagunk and Toxicroak. For reasons I don't even properly remember I used to think they looked stupid. But they're great.

I already have the whole thing. Boy I sure wish Chansey was more popular.
Call me a pleb, but I've been playing Gen 4 again recently and this guy's lore has grown on me considerably. It has this mystique that not many pokemon can quite achieve. What's up with that ring around its body? Or its almost centaur-like appearance. Is it the actual deity whom created the universe, or merely an avatar of said creator?
Not to mention the events that exist for it are rather unsettling and mysterious. I mean, it CREATES one of the three Creation Trio. Does its power show no bounds?
Anyway, yeah, Arceus. Oh, and the movie depiction of it was horrendous. Just thought that I'd add that in.
>>27858540
I've been playing alot of Go as of lately. Others include golem and rhydon.

Woops! forgot this.
>>27858786
This and Primeape.
Also a lot of Gen 2 ones.

Speaking of Chansey, have the Balanced Hackmons lead I made of her.
Chansey@Eviolite
Bold 252 Def 252 SpD 4HP
Prankster
-Spore
-Stealth Rock/Spikes
-Dragon Tail
-Roar/Iron Defense
Priority Spore, Priority Rocks, force a switch, Spore it, switch it, repeat to take their entire team down a decent amount of HP and sleep them all.
>>27865823
It looks cool but its stats suck, and I'm not a fan of it's typing either
>>27866381
apparently it doesn't have the power to resist Pokeball compulsion to obey humans
Used to dislike Vileplume for being an utterly average Grass/Poison with no particular skills. Then X rolls around and I realize between Sweet Scent and Petal Blizzard/Dazzling Gleam it's the perfect mon for EV training something by summoning hordes over and over and one-shotting them with a hit-all attack.
Also I can't deny the little fucker's cute.
>>27861034
morty's gengar only uses hypnosis > dream eater
if it puts something to sleep, just switch
Amzumarril. Never liked him until Black 2. Now he's my partner
>>27868178
this, just did a runthrough of platinum a few months ago and I really love this thing. I picked piplup in both diamond and platinum and I decided to do something else. Sinnoh starters are absolute bro-tier
Ever since he helped me glitch in a Gengar on my Yellow, I don't have any more problems with this guy
>>27870088
Crobat also redeemed the line
