The Real Top 30 Pokemon

This little weirdo is like a little seed guy. And is pretty cute. And it evolves (eventually) into Vileplume. If you evolve it into Bellossom, you're part of the problem.

That other list got this one right.

Gen 8 had its issues, but introducing a lightning corgi was not one of them.

It's cute and whacks stuff with a giant hammer. What's not to like?

Sneasel is a... snow? weasel? Idk but it's dark type too which is cool since dark type was new in gen 2 and, despite that, there weren't very many dark types in gen 2. Dark/ice is a cool (heh) combo. And weasels are funny.

Part pikachu, part gremlin. Morpeko changes moods and forms depending on how hungry it is. That's fun and electric/dark is an interesting type combo.

Shedinja is one of the most unique Pokemon. Period. You can't catch it. It doesn't evolve from anything. You can only get it if a Nincada evolves into Ninjask AND you have an open slot on your team at the time. Shedinja is the shed shell leftover from Nincada's evolution. If that wasn't cool enough, it has only 1 HP and a special ability that makes it so that only supereffective moves can hit it. And it's bug/ghost type which is a dope af type combo.

Electric/poison is a pretty unique type combo. And it has cool mechanics, changing between a low-key form and amped up form.

Gen 9 did some weird stuff with variants of gen 1 Pokemon. But I liked that they gave Primeape from gen 1 an evolution after all this time. And a cool ghost type with unique type combo at that.

Everyone thinks Gengar is so cool but he's just a pudgy weird ghosty boy. That changes when it mega evolves however. Mega Gengar looks cool af.

It's an electric spider. That's awesome.

Fucking look at it. It's dope.

Joe thought this one was weird on another list we shared some time ago. Little did he know he was clowning on a king.

Ghost/grass is something we don't have a lot of. And look at it. It's dope.

Poison/fire is a pretty unique type combo. And only female Salandit can evolve into Salazzle and I'm a sucker for unique evolution mechanics.

When I first saw Klefki years ago I thought "Really? A Pokemon that looks like a ring of keys? They're really scraping the bottom of the barrel for Pokemon designs." But then I learned that Klefki doesn't look like keys, it's steals and collects them and I thought that was kind of adorable and I've loved it ever since.

Yet another ghost type, this time combined with dragon. Which is just cool.

That other list got another one right. Mimikyu is great. It's cute, it has interesting mechanics, it pokes fun at the fact that Pikachu is the most popular Pokemon. It's ghost/fairy type which is whimsical and fun. 10/10.

I know Delphox just looks like a furry that they imported into a Pokemon game. I do think it would be cooler if it walked on 4 legs instead of 2. But fire starters desperately needed a change after 3 back-to-back generations of fire/fighting types and they finally got it in gen 6 with fire/psychic. And Delphox looks like a witch/wizard which is cool.

Fucking look at it. It's dope.

That other list got this one right, too.

Everyone knows Mudkip is the best gen 3 starter. Everyone. Water/ground is such a dope type combo. It covers a lot of type matchups and it nullifies water's biggest weakness since ground takes no damage from electric-type moves. Swampert is king fight me.

By far the best of the Gen 5 legendary dragons.

A psychic/ghost type based on moon imagery/language? Yeah I was never not gonna like this one.

Regular Mawile is fine and all but Mega Mawile is better in every way. Even though fairy type didn't exist until gen 6, steel/fairy is a cool combo. And just look at this thing. It's ready to fuck some shit up.

Specifically the Zoroark from the Hisui region. Regular Zoroark is meh. Normal/ghost is such a weird type combo since it's immune to both types of moves.

Do I have a thing for ghost types? Yes. Do I give a shit? No.

This one is the edgelord's pick. Well, I guess I'm an edgelord. Darkrai is cool looking, his lore is dope, and he's a mythical pokemon so he's nearly impossible to get legitimately. What's not to like?

"Ooh another mega evolved ghost type, real original" stfu nerd. Look at this thing. It's dope af. It's a monotype which I don't typically like on my teams. But Mega Banette doesn't give af. It's that dope.

I know it's a monotype. I know it's not the most powerful or the most rare. I don't care. I love the design of this pokemon. It's ghosty, it's witchy, it's perfect.
