Electrode- 8

Zebstrika- 14

Boltund- 5
Toxtricity- 26

Toxtricity is the clear fav from yesterday, with Zebstrika a distant second and the rest of the field clustered together. I've dropped the obvious stuffed votes from Voltorb and Garchomp, so congrats to Blitzle and Tyranitar on their belated wins!

Read left to right, top row to bottom. Note Minior is depicted twice in its Meteor and Core forms.

I was really pleased with the amount of people participating in the postal votes yesterday! The majority voted for polls to continue though so we're back to that, but keeping an eye on obvious stuffing this time (pls no stuf :( ). However, you are always welcome to vote in-topic and discussion is encouraged, it can help make obvious stuffing clear too.

A single stage poll was requested, so here we are with rocks. It might not be the most exciting poll for everyone but all pokemon deserve their day in the sun! I know Aerodactyl would be viable here too but I think it suits a flying poll better so that's where it will be.

Minior gang

Carbink's ears secured my vote.

Corsola! My second-ever Lv. 100 Pokemon back in Pokemon Ruby, got her from the in-game trade. Also I didn't have Corsola in Gen 2 so for the longest time I thought Corsola is from Gen 3.

Wow the two best pokes from yesterday got 5 and 7. Good job b8

Oh, and these all suck.

Stonjourner is pretty good but I am not terribly into any others

ReliCAN

Shuckle > Lunatone > Solrock > Relicanth > Corsola > Carbink > Minior > Stonjourner

Corsola > Carbink > Minior > Stonjourner > Lunatone > Relicanth > Shuckle > Solrock

When X/Y were first leaking, I liked Carbink and was sure it was gonna be the first Fairy for my team. Then it was discovered to be a single stage with god awful offensive stats... I was so disappointed. =/

It's still a nice design though. Corsola's the only one of these I think is actually a great design. The next three are okay, Relicanth exists, and the last two are bad.

I voted for Shuckle, but not really a fan of these. Stonjourner looks like something a third grader would draw and I'm split on whether that is a good or bad thing.

I voted Shuckle but I would have voted for none of them if that was a poll option

Yeah but the people with good taste split the vote 5 ways so really it's a win for not-Toxtricity.

Anyway, for today, I don't care too much about the living rock Pokmon, they're fine but just kinda there. Relicanth, Shuckle, and Corsola are great though. Voted Shuckle.

Jesus christ, none of them? weakest selection so far
But I guess Shuckle if I had to pick one

It's one of the most forgettable Pokemon ever. It has nothing special going for it besides being tied to Diancie..somehow? and that connection never really took off, so it's not like it can evolve to Diancie
Also when the Diancie Movie came out and it had "forms" I thought maybe we might be getting something special about them...but nope it was just different looking Carbink for the sake of telling them apart and that's it

This is a tough call between Shuckle/Corsola... think I'm leaning the latter

pokemon sun and moon

voted lunatone

Shuckle > Corsola > the rest

Shuckle > Corsola

Big gap between them and third place, which I guess Id give Relicanth.

Stonjourner is just a discount Kirby boss and I love him.

Wtf at the negativity, I love most of these.

Shuckle, Lunatone, Solrock, and Relicanth are all some of my pet faves. Solrock is in my top 15 for sure.

I adore a ton of these. By a ton I mean that my three favourites are some of my top mons ever. Never seen the Minior alternative form before! It's probably the Pokemon I forget the most of all of them - very unmemorable, probably because gen 7 is the only gen I never actually finished a game from. They're (almost) all pretty cool concepts or good looking, though. Unfortunately, Carbink is pointless, but the rest are good! Stonjourner is adorable and goofy, Corsola is just cute, but I think Shuckle very narrowly takes it because I once used one to solo Cynthia's team via stall which was incredibly fun. I forget what it's meant to be, but I don't care, it's cute and dumb looking and that's all I care about.

Shuckle > Stonjourner > Corsola >>>>> Relicanth > Solrock > Lunatone > Minior > Carbink

Shuckle > Minior > Stonjourner > Corsola > Carbink >>>> Relicanth > Lunatone > Solrock

Can't be a Genwun stuffer if there's no Genwun.

Actually have a softspot for Lunatone for carrying me through a lot of early trainer battles in Pokemon Go.

I stared at the picture for a minute and couldnt muster an opinion

then I went with Shuckle because I guess its fine?

Stonjourner is great

Burn them all.

These aren't my favs by any measure but I think Shuckle and Minior are decent, I have a weird soft spot for Lunatone, and Stonjourner is hilarious. I agree with some that Carbink is a cool base form but it really needs an evo to be notable.

Rock resists Fire sorry!

voted lunatone

I just got angry all over again that Solrock and Lunatone aren't even in SuMo.

Don't fuckle with Shuckle

Minior in shiny form is easily the best one of all of these.

Always weirdly loved Corsola for some reason.

Core Minior is so much better than Meteor Minior, it's the same issue Cherrim has again.

Oricorio v Mega Pinsir v Who is Rayquaza for the next poll

Solrock with those mean eyes

I expected to see Shuckle stuffing, and boy was I right.

Relicanth for me.

Stonjourner

@andylt

Plz stop from spamming these topics simultaneously in a row.

some clown posted in all of them and sent them to first page

I've never liked Solrock's eyes, despite the cool overall design. Went with Lunatone.
