I think itd like Cinderace more if his name was pronounced like Liberace.

FLOATY FALL DIVISION

71 Entei
47 Vileplume
43 Litten
14 Meloetta
-8 Voltorb
-13 Mothim
-24 Klink
-29 Swalot
-42 Shiinotic
-59 Pansear

DARK VOID DIVISION

52 Gyarados
32 Lanturn
25 Wooper
12 Seviper
6 Houndstone
-13 Gholdengo
-14 Machop
-16 Vigoroth
-18 Malamar
-66 Igglybuff

Star of the Day: Vileplume
I could give it to Entei for that blowout, but raise your hand if you had Vileplume getting 47 points, even in a weak division.

Dud of the Day: Lanturn
I know I gave the other 2nd place finisher star, but you just won 'kill the gen 2 Pokemon', this is kind of a limp result considering!

Fun fact: Gholdengo is almost preposterously divisive, maybe the most divisive Pokemon so far. Out of 41 ballots he appeared on a whopping 30 of them, with exactly 15 positive votes and exactly 15 negative votes, left off of just 11 ballots.

A lot of the newer Pokemon I'm seeing for the first time are lame, but Gholdengo has easily been the lamest so far. Awful, awful Pokemon.

Houndstone was also really divisive, 16 positive votes, 12 negative votes, 13 neutral votes. All over the place

Gholdengo appeared on more ballots than Gyarados did! Gyarados had 29. (Almost universally positive.)

Gholdengo is just fucking hilarious. From its ridiculous evo method, to its silly design, to the fact that this is the long awaited Pokemon #1000, to its dominance in competitive, it's just endearing.

I'm not being bribed to say this by the way.

Floaty Fall was probably the weakest division so far, I can't speak for anyone else but Vileplume kinda defaulted to top of my list because of how bad the competition was. And I wouldn't call Lanturn's result a dud when it only lost to a super popular gen 1 mon!

Sand Tomb Division
69 Houndoom
40 Trevenant
16 Eelektross
10 Trapinch (Tiebreaker)
10 Herdier
8 Flaaffy
-19 Frillish
-31 Gimmighoul
-43 Bramblin
-60 Rellor

Max Darkness Division
42 Aggron
29 Banette
28 Wailord
21 Nidoqueen
11 Wobbuffet
9 Wo-Chien
-27 Bounsweet (Tiebreaker)
-27 Togedemaru
-32 Swanna
-52 Ambipom

I double-checked my numbers and they should be correct.

Star of the Day: Trevenant
I guess I could give it to Houndoom (nice) but we've had so few good results by anything later than gen 5 that it feels worth celebrating that Trevenant took a solid 2nd place here.

Dud of the Day: Togedemaru
Might be the worst performance we get out of an electric rodent, but there's still a few to come. This was a pretty tough division in my estimation but getting bounced by Bounsweet has to hurt.

Bounsweet has hilarious lore. It'll be fleeing for its life from predators, but it's unable to stop looking/sounding cute while doing so, so people have no idea it's in distress. I'm pretty sure I recall the Sun/Moon website having bonus artwork showing that when it was first revealed, but I can't find it anymore.

I still would've preferred Togedemaru to win the tiebreaker, though. :(

Snap gives a lot of Pokemon a boost for me, but I was looking up Bounsweet's pics because I couldn't remember any of them, and was greeted with my own 4 star WR which I forgot that I had. That's definitely a bad sign for the Pokemon's sake.

I did believe that Togedemaru was more popular.

9 Koffing
6 Finizen
4 Fezandipiti
-21 Silicobra
-30 Pincurchin

Star of the Day: Drilbur
Wait, what??? DRILBUR won a division? It had two gen 1 mons in it even!

Dud of the Day: Runerigus
I dunno who to give this to but honestly I thought this guy would do a lot better

Fun fact: Bruxish is probably the most universally voted-on Pokemon so far with 38 out of 43 ballots weighing in, and that will probably hold true for all of one day until we get Enamorus's results in

Fun fact: You're all monsters what did Pincurchin do to you

I detested Sneasler as recently as when we did the gen 8 ranking and I can't explain why I 180'd on it so hard but I did. I got a shiny in Pokemon Go so maybe that's why.
