What's your signature pokemon, /vp/?
What IS a signature Pokémon? The one that goes first? Or last?
>>32738337
Usually your strongest. The "ace" of the team. It's sent out last most of the time.
Not even in my top 3, but it's actually pretty solid, in my top 10, and it's a starter, so I guess you can't get much more acey than that.
>>32738337
It's the first Pokémon. Think of Red's Pikachu.
welcome to the filter, tripfag

My shiny Nidoqueen.
But i don't send it out last for obvious reasons
I don't know how much this may have changed since I don't play competitive much anymore, but I always had to have Cofagrigus.

gg no re
>>32738523
this fucking thing in ORAS, man...
Why would you send it out disguised as an absol? What purpose could there possible be? You'd use the exact same moves to kill both of them
>>32738916
>not using a defensive circle throw set
What are you doingBro since day 1. I reached #1 on the po server multiple time in gen 4 with a sub focus poliwrath set
>>32738354
>It's sent out last most of the time.
if you're a faggot.
My ace is either altaria, flygon or mega swampert. I have no idea which.
He's been my bro since FireRed
>>32738269
At least in Sinnoh. Used one in Diamond, my first Platinum run, and my ongoing Platinum re-run.
>ITT: whats your favorite pokemon

>>32738269
Sheer Cold scumbag when all else fails.
>>32738269
>>32738269
Looking at which pokémon I had in the most teams, this.
I blame teenage me putting gardevoir on every single gen3 game.
Charizard or Gyarados. One or the other.

I've been drifting further and further from Gengar recently.

I actually use Pic related online and in pokemon Showdown successfully.

God damn it forgot pic

Good taste
Kecleon is the bestleon
>>32739424
for a long time he was my signature, simply because I didn't have anyone to trade with.
>>32739455
as much as I hate the annoyance of zubat and golbat, crobat is alright
>>32739217
best fire starter
>>32739169
a favorite of mine, but not THE signature
>>32738292
used one of these bad boys all through kalos
>>32740013
as much as I loved using him in ruby, he needs a good buff.
as many great ghost types that keep coming out, nothing will replace the one that glued me to ghost types.

Menacing
Although I love bayleef, youre more likely to see me using Meganium as my ace
It usually depends on the game
>Any game where he's available, I love raising a Haxorus.
>Gen 2's Arcanine
>Gen 3's Cradily
>Gen 4's Torterra
>Gen 6's Tyrantrum or Aerodactyl
>>32738269
I really really like honchkrow
This guy until the fucking end. Really hoping that if johto pokemon get alolan forms it gets something.
>>32742022
Do you use it in your in-game teams?
>>32739169
i don't usually like gardevoir but this is nice art, love the colours and form
>>32742039
Yes, on multiple occasions too. I use it any game it is available in and have even hacked it into those it isn't. Toxic, sandstorm, withdraw, and rest are the most ideal moveset for it in game I find, though that means poison and steel types have to be handled by something else. Someday I plan to do a shuckle only run in one of them games.
>>32742076
>though that means poison and steel types have to be handled by something else.
Try Infestation.
Also if you get a Contrary one you can Shell Smash instead of Withdraw.
>>32742076
you get toxic so late, it's hard to make it useful in gsc or hgss
>>32739455
Ayy that is my signature mon aswell.
>>32742094
Infestation is great, it just sucks since it only came out in gen 6. I tend to use it on my "competitive" shuckle sets.
>>32742095
It's cool, sometimes I even just let it chill in my party for the sake of it.On more recent playthroughes I hack it in. Yeah, I know.
>>32742022
Same here. My first full Battle Frontier clear in Emerald was thanks pretty much entirely to this lovable little chap.
Either Dragonite or Minior.
This crazy motherfucker. Its only drawback is the lack of Boomburst. But it's so fun to use.
>Adaptability paired with Tri Attack
>Download paired with Hyper Beam
>Electric Z-Conversion Adaptability with Thunderbolt
Come on, Game Freak. Just give it Boomburst already. It's basically a computer. Let it play a FLAC file or something.
>>32738269
Either pic related or sneasel or snorlax. Im a sucker for those mons that really peaked my imagination when I was little
>>32738269
Man, gen 2 had some awful designs. Horsea line was amazing until Kingdra came along and ruined it.
>>32739455
>cross gen evo done right
But it ruined the line's aesthetic.
Clefable, particularly in red. As a mixed attacker she isn't bad and her special is high enough that she can threaten my friend's rhydon or golem when we do link battles.
Starmie is also a favorite of mine.
>>32738286
My ulti-nigga
>>32742236
It makes the generic cave encounter into something special and unique looking

t. anti clair/Jaun
>Tfw your bro got a mega, but he's now the best he will ever be and has no way to ever get better
It's a conflicting feeling
>>32742324
at least hes usable
wazza
>>32742324
The fuck are you talking about? He was already a third stage. How would he get better except in the way everything else gets better? (i.e. movepool additions, ability mechanics changes, stat changes, etc)
>>32742343
His movepool is already crazy. Hoping they will make even better moves than all the ones he already has access to is plain delusional. They're not going to change Inner Focus. He's already at 518, they don't give stat buffs to mons that high. He's essentially capped out. I do like where he is, it's just kind of sad that there's not really any room for improvement
>>32738269
Good taste OP
>>32738279
BACK THE FUCK OFF??!?!??!?!?!?
Beep beep, motherfuckers.

>>32742311
It has retarded buck teeth only in its lower jaw, fucking ruined Golbats vampire teeth.
If only it was better competitively.
Magmar is the coolest.
>>32743237
It's fine, honestly. Quiver Dance is great. It could be much worse.
>>32743281
Yeah, Quiver Dance does save it. I just bent up about its BST at times, but that's cause I love it. Decent offensive variety too.
drowzee and hypno need a third evolution dammit!
Every time I play a game he's in I have an existential crisis on whether I should use him or not.
>I always use him anyways.
>>32738269
This guy since I first saw the BW dex spoilers.
This goofy duo
>tfw too intelligent for official pokemon so you make your own fusion
God-tier bromon
>>32739455
Lel, same. Loved him since I saw Koga use one against me. Also it's 5,11ft same height as me
>>32740072

>Can be get before the 3rd gym on average

Skarmory. So what if he has a 4x Electric weakness?
(And a 2x Fire Weakness)
>>32743798
>4x electric weakness
You don't seem to know your "bro" that well.
Or a childs game for that matter.

How could a 7/8th gym team with pic related as signature look like?
If your signature pokemon is a starter, considering ending your life.
>>32738946
He is.
That's my boy

Even though fairy type sort of buffed it, I really want something new for crobat to do, an interesting signature move, ability, or a specially based mega would be fucking awesome.
>>32744120
forgot to attach image
>>32743879
Skarmory is Flying / Steel
Both types are weak to Electric
Weakness = 2x damage from super effective type.
>>32738269
So whats your favourite pokemon then?
Why would your sig be any different?
>>32744296
>>32744296
nice bait
>>32744296
Anon, you might want to go re-check the charts for steel.
Porygon-Z and Lanturn
The GOAT
Chomp or slowking
I'd be like the fishermen with 6 Magikarps, but instead I'd have 6 Unown I found in some ruins.
Everyone forgets the tailwind
Trick Room is a fun
>Unique typing
>Interesting Evo method
>Contrary
>Cuttlefish/Squid
I usually have 3-4 water mons on my team so malamar is a perfect way to switch things up. Since kalos, I cant do a runthrough without an inkay. It's such a fun pokemon to train 10/10 would recommend.been playing since gen 1 and inkay is my GOAT
>>32743546
oh...honey...
I don't fuck around
>>32744321
OMG I'm stupid.
I always forget steel isn't weak to electric. Thank you!
4ever bros
>>32738269
Not my #1 favorite or the strongest mon around but he'd be an amazing mascot. I wouldn't let him go in the ball, just like Ash's Pikachu.
>>32738941
>not letting him use his full power
What exactly are you doing?I've wrecked teams of both primals and megafug using a bellydrum set in tripples in oras, and got a streak of 200 in battle maison tripples
>>32738859
then you should probably fuck off to yokai watch. I heard that's pretty easy
Always Magmar.
I loved the idea of some kind of "living inferno" in Gen.1 and have it used ever since.
I have caught my current Magmar 12 years ago on Mt. Ember and it has never left my core team since.
>mfw my magmar is older than the current generation of 6th graders
Best grass starter.

Everyone in this thread has great taste and are great people
My favourite mon,
Been my favorite for a pretty long time.
Ever since gen 1. His name is Empyrean.
>>32739075
>>32739060
My favorites back to back. I can't pick just one lol. Ttar is stronger and duskull isn't fully evolved though, so I'd probably have to go with disclose even though I love duskull. Can I have them for double battles? Maybe instead of one super high level ace I have two above average leveled pokes?
