I don't know anything about anything, but Crabominable is a great fucking name.

mnkboy907: Rock/Electric is a cool type combo, and the design is nice too. I understand people calling it ugly, but I think it works. Pulls off the magnetic metal fragments much better than Probopass.

profDEADPOOL: RAILGUN

XIII: It just looks so brilliantly fiendish. Smart, interesting switch on the typing too.

StifledSilence: New from DeWalt, Golem plyers! Because regular plyers aren't quite explosive enough for the job.

Inviso: It looks like a taser and has a unique typing. I'm okay with this. Doesn't light my world on fire, but at least it's an Alolan form that feels worthwhile.

Raka_Putra: I want to try using this.

ctes: The idea to make this rock/electric is very sad. Gound was absolutely the type to keep and I would've loved this line. But just like Tyranitar, rock is apparently the favorable type of the two. Game Freak likes rock way more than they should. Now it's a pretty bad combination and Golem isn't too fun to use as a result. The design is fun, but there was absolutely no reason for this idea to be Golem.

swordz9: Golem..with a beard

Luster Soldier: Alolan Golem has a beard. That alone makes him an improvement over regular Golem.

OrangeCrush: It's a me, Wario!

Brayze_II: there’s nothing that meets my standards for stupid art for this guy!

Cybat: Well railguns are cool but I'm sorry, I cannot endorse this thing's face.

Paratroopa1: unlike geodude and graveler, you tried. but golem kind of sucks and your solution was to try to make probopass 2.0? oh shit you know what golem needs, looking like some turkish guy or something. did I even get the right stereotypical ethnicity? shit I dunno. now I'm googling 'turkish people' and I feel like a fucking weirdo goddamnit none of them even have beards this was a mistake

Paratroopa1: haha look at his little happy jump. this is totally the best late-game dragon line

ctes: While the name kinda bothers me with the "-", Jangmo-o is super cool. I think it looks really cool. Its placement is very good for a NFE. Solid Pokemon through and through.

Brayze_II: I don’t get this joke but I’ll assume it’s funny to someone

swordz9: They think a little heart on the head makes it cute?

mnkboy907: It's neat enough but nothing special.

StifledSilence: Django.

PrinceKaro: As most people know, this baby dragon evolves into Hakamo-o and Kommo-o. But few realize he has several split evolutions where he evolves into Kosov-o, Jell-o, and Dildo-o.

Inviso: It's pretty cute, actually. But still, NFE that doesn't set my world on fire.

Raka_Putra: Jaang Mo-got

Luster Soldier: This is definitely the worst Pseudo-Legendary line we've ever gotten. Jangmo-o is the only Pokemon from this line that could even qualify as being cute (and even then, just barely).

Cybat: Did they really think the little baby dragon wasn't cute enough without putting a literal heart on its head? (Yes, it's supposed to be an ankylosaur crest, but, come on)

aw that's a bit too early for jangmo-o

Is that Dio


Also damn, hope the rest of the line doesn't fall so soon

it's fuckin 5am man i waited as long as i could

What is this joke

after looking at that picture I kind of wish I had ranked jangmo-o just a bit higher

it's hard though because everything in this gen is rad

I have never read or seen JoJo's Bizarre Adventure but I think the joke is that it looks like Dio

ctes: Silvally is cool, but I kind wish it didn't exist. Type: Null is cool as it is, I don't think I wanted it to have an evolution, at least it needs to be explained a bit upon in the future how that works with friendship, but even if they do, I think they should've just given Type: Null completely equal stats, perhaps a little bit lower than Silvally's, but that's not too important. But yeah again, Silvally is cool in itself.

Inviso: It's still kind of an ugly mishmash, but it also has a certain elegance. Plus that Swords Dance/Explosion combo is useful in the Battle Royal.

MrSmartGuy: Mike Judge is great, but I dunno why he had to shorten his show to be in Pokemon.

swordz9: Inferior to Absol

Luster Soldier: Oh hey, a Pokemon that's literally a Poor Man's Arceus, but in a tournament legal form for VGC and other official tournaments. It's nowhere near as good as Arceus, even considering the 570 BST vs. Arceus's 720 BST. Silvally has a much worse movepool than Arceus, not having access to Extreme Speed and Earthquake as 2 notable moves which Arceus can learn. Move tutors in a future game (a third version or a later generation) could potentially save this Pokemon and make it a bit more viable than it currently is.

Brayze_II: silvally sure loves gladion, if the art tells me anything

Cybat: Where the heck did this name come from? Why couldn't its predecessor have had a normal(ish) name like this? Anyway, its design looks mostly worse without its helmet, but the Arceus-esque gimmick is pretty interesting. Although its ability, "RKS System", is another pretty uninspired name.

PrinceKaro: What? Type: Null is evolving! Congratulations, your Type: Null evolved into something slightly less stupid!

StifledSilence: Silicon Valley

Paratroopa1: the obsession with arceus lore is probably like the thing I most don't get in the pokemon fandom, fuck arceus is a dumb pokemon why is it like this DEEP LORE thing ooooh why does silvally have an arceus thing ugh who cares

Raka_Putra: What the fuck

Huh. I'm sure I did a writeup for Silvally. Weird

oh wow I'm really surprised silvally is that low

wait what how is Silvally lower than Type: Null

Type: Null is 'okay' but its helmet is dumb and Silvally fixes it

Drakeryn posted...

The designs are overall quite similar, with Type: Null only losing its helmet when it evolves. So I guess most people had them very close to each other on their list and maybe Type: Null had slightly more people who preferred it over Silvally.

If Type: Null appears in the next 1 or 2 Pokemon reveals, my theory probably makes sense here.

Sivally looks 209 times better than Type: Null

I put Null higher. One of the few times I prefer the NFE.

I put Type: Null slightly higher, I think. It has more of a presence in-game, and...I don't know, its grotesque mishmash is at least man-made, but now it can evolve? And the mask became his face or whatever? And it's tail becomes even more out of place...

And both names are dumb, Silvally sounds like a made up objective an ESL came up with. And it's preevo...well we'll get to that soon.
---

Type: Null and Crabrawler outlasting their evolutions is a travesty.
---

Yeah I never liked the name either. Silvally reminds me of... Silvanian families or something
---

Silvally is too close to the word "silly"

Inviso posted...

Type: Null and Crabrawler outlasting their evolutions is a travesty.

I'm actually surprised you had Silvally fairly high on your list considering it's considered a legendary, at least in the game code. There are 2 different classifications of "legendary" in the game code. These images came from someone who datamined the full game when it got leaked to the internet:

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CxfFzRrVQAAiT3a.jpg
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CxfDqURVIAA1ziG.jpg

The second image shows a list of the lesser legendaries in a category of Pokemon called "sublegends" and you can see Type: Null and Silvally on that list. However, I bet fewer people would consider both of them to be legendary compared to the Ultra Beasts.

Weird, I thought I remembered Silvally was well received here when it was first revealed.

swordz9: Looks like he eats Snorlax for breakfast

MrSmartGuy: I'm glad they finally realized who Pokemon's biggest fan was and gave them a cameo in the game. Congrats, Luster.

Brayze_II: I was like ‘god I hope so’ and the answer is yes but I can’t post it, so here’s a teaser. use your imagination

Paratroopa1: oh my god, guzzlord is here and he's awesome. too bad he kinda sucks as far as ultra beasts go because he looks like some kind of horrifying meat grinder and that's exactly what I never knew I wanted in a pokemon

mnkboy907: This is a thing and I like it because I don't know.

Drakeryn: (11:56:57 PM) drakeryn: get a room you two
(11:57:08 PM) meisnewbie: Rance style
(11:57:15 PM) SirChris: I would but my ego is too big to fit into one

Cybat: This guy would look right at home in Earthbound. As a Pokemon? Not so much. Also, a shame how slow and useless it is.

hotdogturtle: It's funny how bad this thing actually is. High stats in all the wrong places and no real purpose. And to be the last UB, at that.

Ermine: All of the Ultra Beasts are terrible and a complete waste of space, except for MAYBE Necrozma.

ctes: Guzzlord is super lame. It's HP is beyond fantastic, but it sucks past that in every way. It has no good use. A lot of HP matters nothing when both its defensive stats suck. It's also ugly as hell and dark / dragon means that any fairy moves will completely trash it. Congrats, Guzzlord, you're the worst Ultra Beats by far!

Luster Soldier: Since I know this Pokemon is going to be the lowest ranked Ultra Beast, I'd like to take the opportunity to explain why you shouldn't quickly dismiss these Pokemon based on their designs. For those who have played Pokemon Sun/Moon, the story of the game depicts the Ultra Beasts as creatures from another dimension, rather than existing within the regular Pokemon world. So while most people might not like most of the Ultra Beasts because they look much different than normal Pokemon designs, you do have to consider that their designs represent creatures that do not normally exist within the regular Pokemon world.

Inviso: One of far too many legendary Pokemon in this generation, and it's hideous.

Raka_Putra: What even is going on here? It's like a Hallowe'en drawing made by a 3 year old kid…who just got hit by a truck.

StifledSilence: Don't be such a guzzlord.

PrinceKaro: Hey guys, you think you put enough fangs on this fucker? He's even got fangs on his asshole!

mnkboy907: A nice design and all, but boy did it start to suck in battle.

Cybat: I had such high hopes for this guy. You get him so early on and he deals with the Fighting gym and learns some good moves, and then you're halfway through the game and the rest of your team has evolved and you're just waiting for some usefulness to materialize, and nope. Sigh.

hotdogturtle: I thought he was gonna be so cool when he was revealed. But once we found out that he had an evolution, they were both doomed. The evolution is ugly and sucks, and Crabrawler was left as a weak, forgettable NFE despite his awesome design.

StifledSilence: The evolved form of Crabiter and Craboxer.

Raka_Putra: His face looks like Rocky.

swordz9: Oh boy another crab Pokemon

ctes: Crabrawler kinds sucks. Not only is the berry gimmick kinda sad, its typing is weird, t should absolutely be water now even if ice later, and it's so utterly disappointing to use it. Not only is it trash, you literally can't evolve it before a minute before the goddamn Pokemon League. You evolve Charjabug way to late and this thing actually somehow manages to be available even later.

Paratroopa1: eh not really feeling it. and then para tried to think of some kind of pun involving little mac for the next 10 minutes, and failed, and also died

Luster Soldier: A crab based Pokemon that's not a Water type at all despite a design that might suggest Water type. It's actually pure Fighting instead. Crabrawler's complete lack of a Water type comes from the fact that it's based on a coconut crab, which cannot live in water for very long before it dies from drowning.

PrinceKaro: You know what would make a great fighting type pokemon? A boxing kangaroo. Instead we get a boxing crab. Yeah.

Drakeryn: "big udders completely replacing crotch genitalia on entities that are not cows" - MycroProcessor in the fetish nomination topic

Inviso: NFE that is pretty hideous.
