Just a really cool, kinda creepy, slithery octopus wrestler. Bane_Of_Despair (6) - I still don't really get why this thing is pure Fighting as opposed to Fighting/Water, but it's still cool. An fighting octopus that has a natural mask on and comes out to land specifically to find people to fight and then fucks back off into the sea after is sick. I think this was the main Pokemon that wasn't in my main party on my playthrough but I wish it was. Johnbobb (6) - https://imgur.com/U4DK8eh andylt (11) - Yeah this thing looks like it'd fuck you up, exactly what a fighting octopus should look like. Could've been a dual type- water, dark, poison, but it's still cool. PrinceOfKoopas (18) - Octolock is a cool move, but Grapploct's actual stats aren't designed for it. DragonGargoyle (20) - Wrestler octopus is genius concept hotdogturtle (23) - A victim of looking really cool but being functionally useless. Inviso (44) - I like Fighting-types, but why did this need to be a pure Fighting-type? There are SO many mono-types this Gen that it irritates me. Paratroopa1 (49) - I like his color scheme a lot Luster Soldier (60) - Another one of those Pokemon whose typing doesnt fully reflect the design here. Fighting type is very apparent in the design, but this thing not having a secondary Water type is odd with the design based around an octopus. It even has access to plenty of Water type moves. --- Born to bear and bring to all the details of our ending To write it down for all the world to see |

Can't really fuck this one up, it's a cute fire bunny that has a bandage on its nose. It just works! NFUN (18) - It has charisma. Clean design of a happy bunny with a slightly cliched nose bandage that still fits with the overall look Inviso (19) - It's never a good sign when I like the NFE more than the FE, but Scorbunny's just the cutest of the three starters. Paratroopa1 (19) - fuck why am I so basic andylt (62) - New Snap boosted my opinion of Scorbunny, but there's still something offputting about its cereal-mascot-looking ass. PrinceOfKoopas (93) - Cereal mascot... --- Born to bear and bring to all the details of our ending To write it down for all the world to see |

Its also nice to see Corsola getting some extra love here, in the form of a regional evolution to a Galarian Form. Johnbobb (9) - https://imgur.com/j7i4lUU XIII_Rocks (10) - Cursola is a stroke of timely genius and a superb update on a fairly mediocre Gen 2 Pokemon. Name, theme, typing, Pokedex entry, all totally on point. NFUN (11) - :( Bane_Of_Despair (24) - Yea this thing is pretty grim. Happy little Corsola died because of our dumbasses and now it turned into a ghost. And it's so sad! Inviso (33) - The concept is fascinating, and the design is cool. But much like Runerigus, it really should've been Ghost/Rock. Paratroopa1 (33) - the only pokemon that makes me feel existential sadness. yay! andylt (41) - Great idea, OK execution. PrinceOfKoopas (57) - I should probably like it more, but I guess I prefer its pre-evolution. --- Born to bear and bring to all the details of our ending To write it down for all the world to see |

I prefer the blue and the friendly demeanour of this middle evo to Corviknight's edgy badass look. Bane_Of_Despair (8) - As far as second stage evolutions go, this is a really good one. Corviknight wouldn't even have to exist and this one could be believed as the final in a two stage line. I really like the color scheme, and it was a great choice the way the darker feathers frame the eyes/head to looke like a knight's helmet. Paratroopa1 (27) - why is it pure flying type Inviso (32) - It's weird how many of the early-route birds have good middle evos, and Corvisquire is pretty solid. mnk (34) - It's a cool design, but also it's one of the worst Pokemon names. Doesn't roll off the tongue at all. That has no bearing on the ranking, but it has to be said. PrinceOfKoopas (41) - If I actually played Sword/Shield, I might've gotten similar affection for it that I do for Staravia. But I haven't, so..

XIII_Rocks (4) - This isn't a very good generation imo, but the three final starter evolutions are pretty good. Rillaboom is a rare grass-type starter win. It's only the second time out of nine generations that the grass type is the best, and to be honest, Sceptile only narrowly beats Swampert and Blaziken. The gigantamax is cool, the signature move is cool, and just how elaborate it is are all great. PrinceOfKoopas (7) - Moss Donkey Kong from Super Smash Bros. 64! I wrote a whole KoopaTV article about Rillaboom's potential moveset which would just be what Donkey Kong's is in Smash Bross, but with Pokmon move names. I think it's funny. DragonGargoyle (11) - Music monsters are peak Luster Soldier (20) - Our first ever gorilla Pokemon. Surprised it took 8 generations for a Pokemon to be based off the gorilla. mnk (22) - The best of the evolved Gen VIII starters, but that's not truly saying a lot. He did grow on me over my playthrough, though. Bane_Of_Despair (41) - I actually warmed up to this one, when first revealed I was kinda meh on it. But now I like the theming of it and the way it has the leaves as hair and the single strand going over its face. A solid final grass evolution starter. Ermine (70) - Yawn Paratroopa1 (96) - usually starters are pretty bog-standard inoffensive but then they made this horrible ape with cheeto dust on his face and thats straight to the bottom with you bucko.

Wow. Inviso (11) - It's a mount, and it's a cooler Water/Ghost than Jellicent, plus it's pretty tough in combat, so yay. NFUN (13) - It takes the "wooden art" designs of a few Hisuian Pokemon and works it into an actual, like, flesh creature. It looks great, and the concept is great too Eddv (16) - Great Evolution hotdogturtle (17) - I didn't like it until SV came out (and thus it would be ranked much lower if we did this ranking during active gen 8). But it turned out alright in the end. Johnbobb (37) - https://imgur.com/J7N9lIy andylt (38) - The female looks miserable. I like the lore and typing more than the design itself.

He's a total rocker, his color scheme is great, and he's a badger. The raccoon-dog -> badger timeline of Zigzagoon is fantastic as they're all great creatures to base a Pokemon on. The tongue out is A+ as well. And we don't talk about the 4x weakness to Fighting type. I hope he places high in this because he's super cool and great. DragonGargoyle (8) - You can be friends with mean stinky monster mnk (20) - I was so happy when the first Galarian form trailer was released, and then surprise, Linoone is evolving! It was so dumb they stopped doing cross-gen evolutions for a few generations, and I'm so glad they're fully embracing them again. That was a tangent, but this particular one is pretty good! Luster Soldier (26) - Probably the most edgelord Pokemon to exist. The design kind of resembles a Gene Simmons cosplay, a member of the band KISS known for performing live with his face painted in black and white (the same colors in Obstagoon's design). Even Gene Simmons seems to approve of Obstagoon, as reported in this news article - https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/08/random_kiss_gene_simmons_has_something_to_say_about_new_pokemon_obstagoon PrinceOfKoopas (29) - I like its battle concept. Inviso (34) - I want to like this more than I do. It's an innately cool concept, but it's so friggin' weak for a third stage evolution. Paratroopa1 (42) - Im really sad that we didnt get galarian zigzagoon and linoone in this thing, because I love them, especially linoone. obstagoon is sadly a downgrade Johnbobb (63) - https://imgur.com/miLtXVs NFUN (64) - I can respect it even if I don't like it XIII_Rocks (95) - I was never a fan of this line, and thought the Galarian forms might save it I didn't hate it at first, and I like the shiny form, but then GBL happened and Obstagoon became the most irritating bitch ever. --- Born to bear and bring to all the details of our ending To write it down for all the world to see |

Better than the Pans. Inviso (50) - It's cute, but doesn't really stand out all that much to me. Paratroopa1 (65) - grookey is my personal line between good and bad on this list.

I like the eyes coming out from the top of the apple. mnk (50) - It's okay. The concept of a wyrm in an apple is pretty good, though.

Wooloo is peak design. Lovable. NFUN (6) - hell yea PrinceKaro (6) - why is this so cute Luster Soldier (7) - This is such an adorable little sheep. It's also one of the few times where I consider the first stage to be vastly superior to its evolutions. I think this one should fare quite well in the overall rankings because it does "cute" in an acceptable way by being based on an animal and avoiding feminine vibes. Paratroopa1 (7) - baa Johnbobb (24) - https://imgur.com/kD0GznY Bane_Of_Despair (46) - Pretty much a perfect sheep Pokemon, they really nailed this and they knew it with how early they showed it off. Inviso (56) - It's very cute, especially with the rolling gimmick, but it just doesn't do anything new or exciting for an early-route Pokemon. mnk (57) - It's a little too cute in the wrong kind of way for me. andylt (66) - Never got the appeal of this thing. It's a round sheep. OK! I don't like when things seem designed solely to be cutesy/marketable rather than naturally reaching that state.

Great design, great power, interesting typing, and now an excellent alternate form. hotdogturtle (5) - I didn't think that I'd like an Ursaring evolution if you told me beforehand, but man it turned into a beast of a Pokemon once it could be transferred into the main games. DragonGargoyle (7) - Haven't played PLA, but design + lore + play as a poke Inviso (7) - Absolute combat beast, managing to be both a beefy tank, while having the offensive stats to back it up. Johnbobb (10) - https://imgur.com/arQpciG PrinceOfKoopas (27) - Well, thanks to it, Ursaring can get Eviolite. Bane_Of_Despair (30) - It's a bear. That's it, and that works! It's a good bear. I like that it's more like a typical bear to stand out from its previous form. Luster Soldier (40) - A cross-generation evolution of Ursaring first introduced in Legends: Arceus. Although not relevant to this ranking project since were only doing Gen 8, Ursaluna has a new form in Gen 9 known as the Bloodmoon Form which is a bipedal design instead of the quadrupedal design of regular Ursaluna. Strangely enough, the Bloodmoon Form is a standalone form of Ursaluna that cant be obtained by simply evolving Ursaring (which evolves into the original Ursaluna). Ermine (79) - Ursaring looks like a badass. This does not. Paratroopa1 (81) - not great andylt (82) - I hate its moon forehead and weird eyebrows, and the colouring is bad. Ursaring was a good choice to give an evo but this doesn't do it for me at all!

Luster Soldier (5) - Very cool looking wolf legendary Pokemon. This thing having a Fairy type is unusual as the design is very atypical for a Fairy type (not the typical cute and/or feminine vibe usually seen in Fairy types). Base form is pure Fairy, but the Crowned Sword form has a secondary Steel type and is the true form of Zacian (and the one used in marketing the Sword/Shield games). This is also a insane powerhouse in the Sword/Shield Dynamax raids due to having a move that deals double damage to a Dynamaxed target. It even got a nerf in Gen 9 (along with Zamazenta) as it was a bit too overpowered. PrinceKaro (10) - this rating based on armorless form, the dogs look stupid and overdesigned with their armor Bane_Of_Despair (12) - Sword doggo! It's a little cheap to do, but throw a sword in a dog's mouth to use in battle and I'm sold. It being Fairy type is a pretty cute idea too what with it kind of going with the sword/shield legend theme a bit. Typing wise the Fairy/Steel is pretty cool too. I think GameFreak does a good job with the potential of a sword-in-mouth dog, like I'd take Repede and Sif over Zacian but Zacian still works. Inviso (16) - Easily the better design of the legendary dogs, but I wish it was Fairy/Fighting instead of Fairy/Steel. Raka_Putra (20) - Its name origins is so stupid XIII_Rocks (38) - Would have been a lot higher, but got slightly ruined by Pokemon Go GBL. andylt (63) - As far as dogs-with-swords-in-their-mouths go, this is one of them. Johnbobb (65) - https://imgur.com/lel6hX0 Eddv (82) - trashmon PrinceOfKoopas (83) - Stupid mutt. Paratroopa1 (87) - i dont even like sword wolf ironically. sorry.

Maybe this project will prove me wrong though. PrinceOfKoopas (13) - Dubwool is okay too but it loses Wooloo's cuteness. hotdogturtle (19) - Underrated as a bulky physical Normal type. Paratroopa1 (24) - beeg NFUN (26) - One of a very few Pokemon in this generation I can take gameplay into account for their rating. I was playing Showdown with a friend and swept half his team with a Cotton Guard/Body Press Dubwool. Dude had no fucking idea. Outside of that, very mediocre Johnbobb (36) - https://imgur.com/8Sre2Td Luster Soldier (39) - MASSIVE downgrade in design compared to Wooloo. The popularity of Wooloo was due to being a very cute sheep, and Dubwool is severely lacking in the cute department. Still a lot better than a good amount of Pokemon from this generation. Inviso (41) - This is decently strong, but it's kinda basically, especially in a generation with another new mono-type Normal early route Pokemon.

Still somewhat animalish so it doesnt feel weird to have it as a pet, and androgynous enough so it still seems right regardless of what gender you get. Simply superb. Johnbobb (4) - https://imgur.com/FiGtooo XIII_Rocks (8) - Yeah I can't not like Cinderace. It's a terrific Pokemon and the football theme is executed so well. Luster Soldier (9) - Fits the British inspired Galar region pretty well with the whole soccer (football) theme in its design, and its signature move Pyro Ball being an animation of Cinderace kicking a flaming ball at an opposing Pokemon. It also has a Gigantamax form where it's standing on top of a giant flaming ball. Inviso (24) - Not even me being a furry could net Cinderace a higher placement. It's still fast, but I honestly hate the color scheme and design (and the mono-typing). Paratroopa1 (30) - cute rabbit slightly offset by slightly weird astro boy vibes DragonGargoyle (44) - I like it when monsters are sports/exercise-themed Bane_Of_Despair (65) - It's a rabbit, it uses its feet, make it a soccer/football player inspired! That's fine, althought the design itself is not the best for me especially for a starter. The Gigantimax form is kind of funny though, it just standing on a giant orb of fire giving me Asuka "Pathetic" vibes. Ermine (69) - Furries have at it. mnk (83) - It's kinda weird how much I don't like this line's soccer player motif, when I don't really mind Passimian's football motif. I guess it's all in how much more humanoid Cinderace is, while Passimian still looks like an animal. Cinderace just looks like it belongs to a completely different franchise with its own Saturday morning cartoon.

Thank you Legends: Arceus. Luster Soldier (24) - A well-deserved evolution to Stantler, who was previously one of the most forgettable Gen 2 Pokemon. Much better design over Stantler as well. andylt (27) - Hm, this wound up being my highest Arceus ranking. A solid improvement on a forgettable pokemon. Inviso (27) - Just about all of the new Hisuian stuff is actually pretty good, and Wyrdeer's use as a mount and a new Normal/Psychic (which massively improves on Stantler) is not exception.

Bane_Of_Despair (73) - It's definitely an evolution to Stantler. I do think it's an improvement on Stantler at the very least from the coloring, but the design itself is sort of eh. Also a little weird they went with Psychic for this design, although I suppose that's better for it than going for the obvious Ice.

I grinded for one a while ago. Inviso (14) - This is one of the few times when I'm cool with a mono-type, because solo-Steel is so rare. I just dock it points because Gen VIII is a very slow generation overall, and Copperajah contributes to that slow feeling. PrinceOfKoopas (15) - ...And the evolved form is still kinda cute too. andylt (37) - I'm not sure what it is but I don't like Copperajah as much as I want to. Maybe it's the colouring, or the very angular body, but it's still cool to have a steel elephant. And a proper elephant, finally! (Sorry Donphan) Paratroopa1 (50) - pretty cool Bane_Of_Despair (54) - Pretty cool elephant, really dig the color scheme. Good elephant Pokemon design. Raka_Putra (69) - Hup, two, three, four, it's so blocky, two, three four Ermine (89) - I hate elephants. --- Born to bear and bring to all the details of our ending To write it down for all the world to see |

The vast difference in popularity was apparent when I saw a picture of a Japanese Pokemon Center with like a full shelf of Zamazenta plushies, while the Zacian plushies were almost totally cleaned out. This was the subject of a news article here - https://nintendosoup.com/zamazenta-plushies-not-as-popular-as-zacian-at-pokemon-center-japan/ mnk (24) - Shield Doggo is much better than Sword Doggo. Bane_Of_Despair (26) - The other legendary doggo, I think the Shield form looks a liiiiiittle silly but I do dig the color scheme and the little blue ponytail on its base form. Raka_Putra (30) - Awkward to see DragonGargoyle (35) - I love the clunky shield hotdogturtle (44) - I bought Shield because at the time I liked Zamazenta better. Then Zacian turned out to be one of the best Pokemon in the game and also looks better than Zamazenta in both forms. Whoops. Inviso (55) - This is a far worse design than Zacian, and I'm always going to be against tanks in comparison to pure attackers. andylt (58) - Christ this thing looks bad without its shield. Still silly with it, and Zacian has a better colour pallette, but yeah. I dislike that they made the cover legendaries so similar. Johnbobb (69) - https://imgur.com/9TjBDLL PrinceOfKoopas (70) - Also a stupid mutt, but I like shields more than swords.

Luster Soldier (31) - An alternative evolution of Scyther that is a pretty good design, though not quite as good of a design compared to Scizor. This Rock type counterpart of Scizor has a bit more speed in exchange for less defensive stats and 5 extra points in base Attack. Raka_Putra (57) - Not as good as others in its line mnk (58) - A definite downgrade compared to Scizor. PrinceOfKoopas (68) - It's too much of a try-hard. andylt (71) - Worse than Scyther and Scizor, and a boring type to boot. Paratroopa1 (76) - looks a lot better from the side than the front. Idk maybe Im being harsh on these hisuian dudes but theyre all kinda ugly Bane_Of_Despair (83) - I feel like in theory this one should be cooler than I think it is.

Bane_Of_Despair (19) - I haven't actually played the DLC for Sword and Shield, but I do think Urshifu is pretty neat.

Also, the weight difference on the 2 horses is extreme, with Glastrier having a stated weight of 1763.7 lbs and Spectrier at only 98.1 lbs. Bane_Of_Despair (29) - The clear winner of the horses to me, a ghost horse is already cool and making the design with a flowing mane like this and floating hooves is just downright cool. Johnbobb (50) - https://imgur.com/wDSpiKN andylt (59) - Ghost horse should be really cool, but this bores me somewhat. I don't think the mane effects work.

PrinceOfKoopas (4) - Very cute, sweet, and appealing. hotdogturtle (9) - When is someone hosting "Board 8 Ranks the Alcremie Forms?" Let me put in a good word for Salted Cream + Berry. NFUN (49) - One on hand, I'm tempted to put it a bit higher. On the other, I feel like I'd deserve bad things to happen to me if I did Bane_Of_Despair (62) - It's a liiiiittle too cutesy for me, although some other cutesy ones in this gen I like more so I dunno. It's fine overall, nothing crazy. Johnbobb (62) - https://imgur.com/d3AksJq Inviso (63) - The design is fine, but why do we need so many mono-type Fairies that look like desserts? andylt (95) - nah --- Born to bear and bring to all the details of our ending To write it down for all the world to see |

Paratroopa1 (28) - have you guys seen the romhack where someone turned pokemon yellow into pokemon cramorant and pikachu is just replaced by cramorant for some reason. It rules Bane_Of_Despair (58) - The different forms this one has definitely gives it a bunch of points. Generally it's a pretty solid design, I like the colors used. Inviso (61) - The gimmick is funny, but there are just too many Water/Flying-types at this point in the franchise. Johnbobb (67) - https://imgur.com/YWGpItC Luster Soldier (68) - This is one of the derpiest looking bird Pokemon I've ever seen. Another weird thing about this Pokemon is that it can apparently capture either an Arrokuda or Pikachu in its mouth as part of a form change that happens after using either Surf/Dive and whether its HP is above 50% (Arrokuda) or below 50% (Pikachu).

But the design doesn't quite do it for me, and it's another case of just feeling a bit too slow. mnk (39) - Its shiny is really cool. PrinceOfKoopas (55) - It's a Kingdom Hearts boss! Luster Soldier (59) - For a Pokemon designed to be a counterpart to Hatterene, I am a bit surprised the 2 Pokemon lines werent version exclusives with their contrasting differences in both in-game gender and typing. NFUN (63) - A total joke just barely redeemed by the Gigantamax andylt (73) - Why'd they drop the pink? It was the most interesting feature this line had!

It's cool, not overly designed, looks like a pal, and has a zap of Electric to keep it from being boring. A great pokemon! PrinceKaro (5) - good doggo mnk (12) - Good speedy boy. Inviso (20) - I wish it was more than just ANOTHER early-route single-type Electric, but it's a cool design, and the speed is much-appreciated in Gen VIII. Bane_Of_Despair (23) - It's a bigger doggo! I like Boltund, I just wish the eyes were a bit different. It might be coloring, specifically the yellow framing the white outside the iris. Otherwise a solid dog design, he's definitely a good boi. Johnbobb (40) - https://imgur.com/dLNnFfW Paratroopa1 (56) - dog PrinceOfKoopas (95) - An even bigger electric mutt. hotdogturtle (96) - Unironically my pick for the ugliest Pokemon in the entire series. --- Born to bear and bring to all the details of our ending To write it down for all the world to see |

The gloves and mask are just natural enough so it doesn't look like it's wearing accessories. And come on, it's a sly fox! A perfect Poke-fit. Bane_Of_Despair (16) - The most fox ass fox they could make, and such a dapper gent! If there's one thing I'd say I would alter a bit it would be the fur sticking off the sides of its face with the face mask but it doesn't ruin it by any means. The tail is also still a bit much but it's better than its prior stage. Still love the way the fur is to make it look like its wearing little boots. PrinceOfKoopas (16) - Very slick and appealing design. Inviso (26) - The stupid moustache kills this one for me, because otherwise I think this design could be really cute. It's still better than most of the generation though. Paratroopa1 (67) - I SAID STOP GIVING THEM MUSTACHES! FUCK! NFUN (69) - Almost great. They shit the bed with the particular design of the mask and the tail Johnbobb (70) - https://imgur.com/S7FiC7X mnk (86) - It feels like it should be hard to mess up a Zorro fox design, but they managed. --- Born to bear and bring to all the details of our ending To write it down for all the world to see |

It's just a really cool sleek design. andylt (15) - Chilling Neigh is a very funny ability name. Luster Soldier (22) - Another Ice type Pokemon with slow speed. Game Freak really seems to hate making fast Ice types. Inviso (48) - Why does GameFreak keep making slow as fuck Ice-types? They're never going to tank (outside of the new snow rules in Gen IX). This is such a massive step-down compared to Spectrier. Johnbobb (55) - https://imgur.com/XnHRWOT Bane_Of_Despair (57) - It's neat, I don't LOVE the ice spike sticking out on the very top of its head but the general ice covering it has is cool. It's a horse. Paratroopa1 (60) - is definitely serving some kind of horse look PrinceOfKoopas (63) - Better than Spectrier. --- Born to bear and bring to all the details of our ending To write it down for all the world to see |
