9. Gen VI - easiest last place yet. You have one regular Ground type and it's awful. Then there are a bunch of Megas I don't care for and a meh legendary that I actually thought was part of Gen VII! Mega Steelix is kind of decent but I don't really like any of these.

8. Gen VIII - Ursaluna is good, but after that... yikes. Runerigus is terrible and has a really dumb evolution method and Galarian Stunfisk... no thanks. The snakes aren't bad but not my taste.

7. Gen VII - Not the deepest roster here, but I like the sand castles and the Diglett line with hair is a funny meme at least. The horses aren't my favorite but they aren't actively bad.

6. Gen II - There's a lot of good here, but the problem is basically everything has been improved on since. Quagisre? Give me Closdire. Gligar? Great, but Gliscor is better. Piloswine? Mamoswine for the win. Donphan? Great Tusk clears. Even the Larvitar line falls into this, because Tyranitar loses the ground typing.

5. Gen IX - Clodsire and Toedscruel are fantastic, and Bloodmoon Ursaluna is imo an improvement. These aren't my favorite group of paradox Pokemon, and probably my least favorite of the treasures of ruin, but nothing I dislike here.

4. Gen V - Excadrill and Krookodile deserve better, but they're dragged down by Stunfisk and Landorus. I like Golurk and don't like Seisitoad much.

3. Gen III - While I'd probably take my top two from Gen V over Whishcash and Flygon, there's nothing really bad here. Everything else is pretty okay, and I even kind of like the Numel line.

2. Gen I - Sandslash, Nidoking, and Marowak are excellent, Dugtrio, Rhydon, and Golem are good, and Onix is kind of there. Aside from Graveler, who I've never liked, there are no real duds here.

1. Gen IV - Garchomp, Hippowdon, and Gliscor might just be my top 3 Ground types, and sometimes I feel like I like Gible even more than Garchomp, so it would be hard for any generation to top this one. I also like Torterra and Mamoswine a lot, and Gastrdon isn't bad. Rhyperior sucks but not hard enough to knock this stacked lineup out of the top spot.
