Lanturn hit all of my criteria for a winning mon:

Top half of the gen's popularity, but not "popular"
Nobody would describe it as "forgettable" but it's in the blind spot
Not "ugly"
Not "cutesy" or "for girls"
Not a legendary
Not a known competitive mainstay or otherwise strong mon
Isn't crap to use in-game
Not part of a known meme
Doesn't have any kind of "reputation" or any other reason why it would trigger annoyance/disgust/hatred
Bonus points for cool typing

Cubone fit most of this criteria too except the typing thing
