Sizzlipede - I can't describe why, but I much prefer Centiskorch to this. Something about this feels... creepy to me. Bleh.

Eternatus - To me, this is probably the most boring final boss Pokemon in the series. I often forget this exists, which is pretty damning for a freaking main legendary.

Eldegoss - I echo my comment about its pre-evo. Kinda cute, inoffensive, but underwhelming.

Duraludon - I think I slightly overrated this. Dragons and dinosaurs are often a slam dunk for me, so I don't hate this, but one that looks like a stapler / pez dispenser / penis is not it. Can't they just make a slightly more normal looking metal dragon?

Arctozolt - Like its compatriots, it's just conceptually morbid and gross.

Barraskewda - For a long time, I felt like this was one of the best fish designs in the series. I've cooled on it slightly, and fish can only go so high (not very), but it's still pretty neat.

Regieleki - Like its dragon-type cousin, this was a very unnecessary addition imo. Not a fan. But I don't hate looking at it, so it manages to place above most of the Pokemon that actively annoy me.

Morpeko - Pikaclones are such a tired trope and this one has no charm to me. Too cylindrical too.

Zarude - I find this one very, very hard to rate. When I look at the design, its backstory and such, it actually has a lot of things I like and feels like a Pokemon I should be really into. It's a cool mon. But... it just doesn't excite me at all for some reason. Somehow, it's just less than the sum of its parts.

Dracovish - The previous fossils I said were awful, but this one has actually grown on me, I have to admit. Maybe its particular brand of goofy charm appeals? Granted, it's still only at #50.

Hattrem - I said I dislike humany mons earlier, but I actually tend to be fairly kind to some of the Gardevoir expys. This is a huge improvement over its pre-evo and is actually pretty cute! But when considering them head-to-head, I couldn't justify putting this above most of my #40s/50s.
