I'm not talking actual competitive viability. Just pokemon that you randomly caught for some reason that you ended up liking a lot.

My unexpected bro in ORAS was Hariyama

Only caught it just for the sake of catching it, and it ended up becoming one of my top bros on my team behind Mudsdale. It sucks that its final evo has shit for speed, but it still gets shit done.

This thing clutched my ass through some moments in the game, those totems didn't know what hit em.

Bewear. I just liked the design, didn't expect it to take hits and be able to fuck shit up

Dhelmise exceeded my expectations. For sure one of my favorites from this gen along with Golisopod.

>>30821359
This guy is the only reason I wasn't swept by a +6 speed +6 attack hakamo

I use Relaxo whenever a Pokemon game gives me the chance to do so. I fucking love that thing

>>30821197
I should've figured that adding the dark type was gonna make Muk a monster but I had to use one just to find out how unkiklable it actually was

>>30821095
Is sandlash viable ingame for you? He felt pretty shitty

>>30821298
I love how it'll let you pee inside its bubble so your friends don't see you soiling your pants. Total brokemon

>>30821069
Hate A-Ninetales, so im using tailwind to speed up my cold steel bro.

>>30822462
This was true for me in Gen5. I expected it to be an early route shitmon, but holy crap it pulled its weight many times over. I even gave it retaliate because if something ever fainted, Stoutland would smush it all over the floor with a Retaliate afterwards

>>30823029

>>30822929

You're stupid, ninetales helps it with aurora veil in addition to slush rush.

Mudsdale, saw his design in the trailer figured I'd pick one up bam

Not going to lie, /vp/ talking about how shit he was kind of turned me off from using him in my first play-through, and the underwhelming totem fight didn't help. But I did for my second play-through and damn is he a trooper.

>>30823546
He's good. Just that he's underwhelming compared to other pseudos and he sadly doesn't get a good fighting move. But apart from that, he's pretty alright specially in game.

Gumshoos and Persian, both in high 40's now and I've had em since early in the game.

Somehow the 2 of em can shitshatter mostly anything thrown at em.

>>30822681
I used both HA ice bros in my first run and honestly sandslash slays. Pretty much swept the elite four with just the two of them. Decidueye on the other hand was the least useful my starter has been since serperior in black

Insecure or underage. Probably both

Gen 1 Butterfree. Confusion just killed everything.
Gen 2 Shuckle and Umbreon, my first tanks
Gen 3 Gardevoir... I suppose wingull as an hm slave
Gen 4 Empoleon. The only water starter I really enjoyed.
Gen 5 Mienshao and Ferrothorn. A lot of pokemon that I liked I already knew I would (Krookodile, Excadrill), but those two surprised me
Gen 6 dunno, didn't play
Gen 7: goddamn Wishiwashi. Thank you first newmon nuzlocke run for introducing me to that fuck fatass tank

Found a shiny slowpoke early on and just had to use it, wasn't expecting much but it turns out Slowbro can tank a fuckton of moves and then retaliate with a super effective move thanks to its incredible moveset.

>>30825746
Are those the only places people have ever called you insecure? Because I promise, they're thinking it everywhere you go

>>30825986
Who else would say a man is insecure because he wants to not be a girl?

Gen 1: Ninetales, best dogbro
Gen 2: Shuckle, gives no fuckles
Gen 3: Swampert, like Quagsire, but not shitty
Gen: 4: Garchomp, sharks are better when they walk
Gen 5: Ferrothorn, kills you while bored
Gen 6: Klefki, such an adorable little shit
Gen 7: Alola Ninetales, like pottery

Ended up catching a shiny 4IV Adamant Pikipek at the beginning of the game. Been top tier player since.

>>30826109
Who else is insecure enough to think using a ninetales changes your gender from male to female. But please, continue proving my point

>>30823751
when I saw its base stats I figured it would be one of the first things I replaced on my team, but then he mvp'd most of the totems. I think it was against lurantis that he held on with one hp from the refresh buff 3 attacks in a row and then won. Swift is great for evening the odds in the 2v1 battles.

About bromons, I'm just playing through the story and I am really quite casual

What do I do, do I evolve my ETERNAL ALLY Psyduck or do I just leave him as he is because he is just fucking cute

>>30824311
it can though

Gen 1, I don't even remember. I was a kiddo and I do remember shitting my pants when my Nidorino evolved into Nidoking and Thrash just instakilled pretty much everything. So let's go with that.

Gen 2, Ampharos. Based fucking Ampharos. Started leveling a sheep and while I at first hated what he had become, I loved that bastard ever since.

Gen 3, Flydragon. Same deal as gen 2 basically, I went in blind and this funky looking bastard turned into a flying GOD.

Gen 4, Drifblim. Because that's fucking spoopy.

Gen 5, Exadrill. I am autistic for moles so I just rolled with Drilbur (went in blind again) and he just destroyed other mons. Shoutout to Jellicent. Loved this gen.

Gen 6, Skipped it. The evil tree guy looks cool, I suppose.

Gen 7, Noone so far. Only halfway into the third island. The starters suck and my team consists of Hydreigon, Sudowoodo, Gengar and Blissey so far. Ditched the retarded owl as soon as I could.

>>30827062
>Hydreigon, Sudowoodo, Gengar and Blissey so far
fucking start over and limit yourself to new pokemon

My Lycarock and Toxapex hori shitu

>>30821494

I'll do that in Sun (bought both, started with Moon).

Wasn't too fond of this guy's typing. I had planned to get Salazzle on my team. But after learning about that whole girls only club, I said fuck it, leave Salazzle for competitive and reluctantly tried the Charizard X turtle at least until the postgame. Somehow, it became my bro.

Total qt on Refresh.

>>30825107

the bad thing is that if your not using the gay fox or the useless crab every other pkmn in your team is fucked, so no.

You catch Sandshrew literally at the end of the game. How did you even find the time to like it?

>>30821098
Fuck yes.

>>30827831
Actually, you can catch them in the grass at Tapu village at a 10% encounter rate (i.e., before you even do the ghost trial. Nowhere close to the end of the game).

>>30827512
loved this scene

You can catch sandshrew/vulpix much earlier at the tapu village, i guess they fell off the mountain.

I slapped the ground-weakness berry on him and he, Golisopod, and Nihilego did great jobs. Turtonator is a good boy.

He fucking jobbed in the league though.

>>30828132
I ended up making a competitively viable version of him in the postgame with White Herb, Shell Smash and Draco Meteor. Also don't see much art of him, which is a shame.

I tried to force myself into loving Decidueye, initially he was the powerhouse but as soon as my other mons started reaching the same level he was so outclassed.

RIP Baron. Bro til the end

Before I played Heart Gold I thought Typhlosion was my favorite Gen 2 starter but I eventually gave up trying to reset for a male Cyndaquil and picked Totodile. Very happy I did, especially having Ice Fang in Gen 4 made for a really fun playthrough, and he's probably my favorite Water starter.
