Listing my favorite of each of the 18 Pokemon types.

Honestly, you have some really solid taste in Pokémon. Being a Swoobat enjoyer is a win

[@galaxy-eyesgarchomp9478]

I would like to list my own personal favorite pokemon of each type. I'll order mine from my least favorite type-my favorite type. Rock: Tyranitar Godzilla pokemon who craves destruction. Simple, but I love it. Normal: Meloetta Not only do I love the idol inspiration, but I relate to Meloetta with the love of song and dance. I've even called Meloetta my pokemon sister, since that is how I feel. Using Meloetta in Scarlet and Violet just added to my love for her. She might even be in my top 20 favorite pokemon now. Ground: Cubone When I was nine, I lost my mother from a drug overdose. She was forced to give me up when I was five. However, it cut deep to lose her. No matter her faults, she was my mother and I love her deeply. As such, the Cubone story of Kanto hits deep for me. Flying: Noivern Boombox wyvern, what's not to love. Beyond that, I do love Ash's Noivern from the anime, so that gets Noivern some bonus points. Fire: Ceruledge I like edgy and boy does Ceruledge hit just the right edge points for me. Beyond that, my Ceruledge really had some great battles when I was playing Pokemon Violet. One of Claire's greatest victories was taking Hassel's Baxcalibur's signature tera move to the face while she was in dragon tera type and surviving like an absolute boss. For those wondering, I named my Ceruledge Claire after the main character in Claymore, which is a relatively older anime that deserves more love. Grass: Roserade While I do love her masquerade theme, my love for Roserade comes from my first victory against Cynthia. I'll mention the main part of this later, but Cynthia's Roserade was her last pokemon and both her Roserade and my last pokemon were on their last legs. However, I managed to pull out the win. This was a turning point in my life and so I respect Roserade a lot for being my last hurdle on the first time I beat a video game all those years ago. Bug: Volcarona I used to be afraid of bugs when I was a kid. However, when I was nine, I saw a goliath moth out in our back porch. I was scared, but I was also fascinated at how a moth could get that big. Ever since then, I have liked bugs. Volcarona reminds me so much of that day. He's also just absolutely adorable. Poison: Crobat Crobat and I have quite the history. He's been one of my go to pokemon in Johto, Hoenn, and even Sinnoh sometimes. Beyond that, there was this really memorable time from a replay of Pearl. In victory road. I got two shiny golbats back to back. It was immensely shocking. I evolved one of them and Crobat's shiny started to really grow on me from there. It's even my favorite shiny pokemon. Electric: Zekrom He looks incredible, blue glow to his tail, and bolt strike is one of my favorite moves. Pokemon White is probably the Pokemon game I've replayed the most, so that also helps Zekrom's case. On top of that, when I was going around catching legendaries in Violet, Zekrom was caught in a pokeball in just three tries with no status ailments. That was a very shocking moment for me (pun intended). Fighting: Lucario Lucario and I also have quite the history. He's basically a constant in my Sinnoh teams and my Black 2 and Whte 2 teams. As such, he's a must for my top five favorite pokemon. I also find his use of aura fascinating and his design is epic. Fairy: Mimikyu Not only is Mimikyu absolutely adorable, but I can relate to Mimikyu quite a bit. My brother was the popular star athlete in high school. Meanwhile, I was the unlovable problem child with Autism in elementary. We were in the same school because it was so small. That made the comparison even more apparent. Even after elementary, I felt like I was the shadow behind everyone else and that nobody wanted me around. This thinking only changed a little over a year ago. Steel: Empoleon This goes back to my first victory against Cynthia story. During this battle, My Empoleon was my last pokemon. He was on eight HP and Cynthia's Roserade was barely hanging on too. I clicked Hydro Pump and it connected. My 11 year old brain saw that win as the bond between Empoleon and I. I wasn't exaggerating when I said this victory was a major turning point for me. Back then, I was suffering from very severe depression. I felt like I was worthless and wouldn't achieve anything, so this win felt like it was my accomplishment. If Hydro Pump missed or Roserade outsped, things would have been much different for me. I'd either have committed suicide, or I would have become a serial killer. As such, Empoleon is one of my favorite pokemon through this. Water: Milotic She's definitely grown a lot for me in recent years. When I first played Brilliant Diamond, I decided that I would use a Milotic. Little did I know at the time that this would start a snowball effect that led to Milotic being my third favorite pokemon. It all started with the champion match against Cynthia. None of my other pokemon could withstand an attack from her Garchomp, so I sent in Akiza the Milotic. She was able to tank hits from Cynthia's Garchomp like a champion. If I did not have Milotic, I would have had a much more difficult time getting through Cynthia. Then Milotic was the first pokemon I got to level 100 in a very long time. She was instrumental in wins against the elite four too. Then I decided to use Milotic in a replay of Alpha Sapphire. Once again, she proved to be a fantastic partner in my endeavors through it. All these struggles and victories have propelled Milotic into the elite of pokemon in my mind. Ice: Chien-Pao Adorable Snow Leopard, cool backstory, awesome fangs, and all around a very helpful mon. Beyond this, Chien-Pao was the first of my pokemon to get the reliable partner mark in my Pokemon Violet run, so that also makes me feel more of a connection with the snow leopard. Psychic: Hatterene I like the witchy aesthetic quite a bit. On top of that, Hatterene feels like the pokemon of Autism to me. Really sweet, but push her senses too far and you better pray for mercy. That makes me feel more connected to her. Ghost: Sableye I mentioned this before on a previous pokemon video on this channel. I love collecting minerals, so Sableye's diamond eyes really stick out to me. On top of that, I love the rivalry he has with Gabite over who gets to feast on Carbink. Dark: Darkrai The Rise of Darkrai is where my love for him originates. Being judged for something that he did not do, being an outcast who is looked down upon, and sacrificing himself for the people and place that he loves. It really speaks to me on a deep level. Dragon: Garchomp As if this was a surprise to anyone who has seen my name and profile. My love for Garchomp stems form my love sharks. I've loved sharks and dragons since I was a kid, so obviously a land dragon shark hits so many good points for me. Cynthia also played a big part in my love for Garchomp. I could go on and on about this. However, I'll end my Garchomp fanboying here. To anyone who got to the end of it. Thank you for going through my Ted talk. You've got a lot of patience and hope your future is bright.

Absols head looks like yin and Yang is that what it’s supposed to represent?

[@Jewellsensei]

I remember doing one of these a few years ago and some dude went ballistic because I liked Pokemon that weren't competitiveness viable. My favorite Pokemon of all time is Ambipom and Aipom. I kinda love their weirdness.

[@lifebloodcore2106]

@@Jewellsensei Pokémon has so many weird little monkeys and we are all blessed by every one of them (yes, that includes the Unova monkeys, even though they’re unpopular)

[@galaxy-eyesgarchomp9478]

Personally, I prefer Hisuan Lilligant. The dancer design fits Lilligant more in my opinion. She also looks more beautiful in her Hisuan form to me.
