Comments:
Paratroopa1 (4) - idk, I like it more than dragapult. sue me I guess
ctesjbuvf (6) - It feels weird having several of the same line this high but it's just that good a line.
andylt (7) - It should suffer from middle stage syndrome but it somehow doesn't!
Bane_Of_Despair (15) - Another second stage evolution that isn't some awkward inbetweener, it's basically just a smaller version of the fully evolved form. But it's also kind of cute how it has the first stage hanging out with it, they're both so happy!
NFUN (21) - Doesn't have the charm of Dreepy but it makes up for it in accentuating its flying wing head, which is inevitably cool
PrinceOfKoopas (33) - But I actually really do like using other Pokmon as ammo idea.
Inviso (57) - This is fine, but it's basically just an incomplete version of what Dragapult does better.
Johnbobb (82) - https://imgur.com/mUUkKee

disaster. but aside from flapple pretty good top 10 i think without double checking

We were so close to all 3 in the top 10!

Regardless, Dragapult has this all sewn up.

Our top 10:
Appletun
Centiskorch
Corviknight
Dragapult
Dreepy
Falinks
Flapple
Sirfetch'd
Snom
Toxtricity

My #1 to #7 are still in. Looking pretty good for me!

Like someone said for Corvisquire, Drakloak escapes that awkward middle phase and could've passed as a fully evolved 2-stage line.

Not Fully Evolved Rank: 4/35

Isn't it just Snom and Dreepy left? Who's the third?

I think I haven't gotten a single pokemon at its correct rank yet.

interesting note before the top 10: basically exactly half (22/43) of the users have their #1 remaining

my bad. some logic in my sheet was calling flapple an NFE

1, 2

I guess I'm fine with this if we get rid of that 64 soonish. The rest is good.

Hmm... I guess this is my chance to climb the outlier rankings then.

I was doing pretty good for awhile, at least.

I'm just surprised and happy my #1 is still in. Definitely thought it'd drop around 30 or so

can someone explain to me why pincurchin was in the bottom 10 and snom is in the top 10? they're like the same thing. they're even next to each other in the dex.

snom got higher placements

Snom is named 'Snom'

they made pincurchins butt face too blatant by coloring it yellow

snoms blends in more with the rest of the design

also yes it is named snom

I am legitimately extremely surprised at the popularity of the Applin line, in particular Appletun.

Snom literally has a butt face. Now I wish I made it my #96

Yeah, seems about right.

What's wrong with butts?

Pincurchin doesn't evolve into an awesome moth. Or at all.

Snom is a more pleasant color scheme, and the transparent ice shell is neat. And its name is Snom.

(I did not rank Snom in my Top 10)

I would also rank Burmy above Infernape so this tracks

so would I actually haha

hey, my fault for not participating lol. I'll submit something for gen 9 if I remember to. Gotta boost those Gholdengo and Ogerpon stocks. (idk if those two are even my favorites, just the first to come to mind)

let's go gholdengo gang

I don't find it surprising, but I am disappointed that Sirfetch'd is the last standing cross-gen evo.

Glad to see some Gholdengo support

I love him and his happy little surfboard so much

I am also in the Goldengho is good club

strong Gen for ghosts in general (except those tumbleweeds)

It's started to fall apart a bit recently but I suppose not the worst. I'd be a little "Eh, I guess and I do like them I suppose" if my 28 or 34 won, the rest I'd be pretty fine with winning.

Take that back, heathen

Grapploct is my 38th favourite Pokemon of all time! A pleasing and striking colour palette, a great design and aesthetic all around. Love it when fighting types are animals and not weird looking people (Crabrawler is my 41st favourite Pokemon coincidentally!) It could be part water type, but on the other hand, the water type is kinda bloated. I admit it, I'm very frontloaded by design with my ranking. Cool, slippery, and badass all around.

I'm not one who usually cares about competitive gameplay, hell, I used Wormadam once, but man, the typing on Frosmoth kind of blows. Though apparently gen 9 made it better? Well, as I mentioned with Ursaluna I'm mostly blind to the DLC lol Besides that, it's fine. It's got a decent design, but it doesn't have any traits that stand out to me. Venomoth is my favourite colour (on days when it isn't pink) and Volcarona has one of the greatest designs of all Pokemon - of which I'm glad Slither Wing didn't fuck with too much (in fact, it would place high in my gen 9 ranks), but Frosmoth is just ... it's nice. It's fine.

Inteleon has an amazing concept but woof, I wish it wasn't so .... lanky? I really can't stand this guy's silhouette and proportions. It's weird, I'm definitely not one of those anti anthro people (Incineroar is incredibly high on my personal ranking, for example!) but this just doesn't do it for me. G-Max and Snipe Shot are definite highlights, so maybe if I used this guy it would fare better.

Sobble is so cute! I placed Scorbunny higher, but I remember being taken by this guy immediately. It was difficult to choose between the two for a while (sorry Grookey), but rabbits are my favourite. Sorry Sobble, don't cry!

Drakloak is an excellent bridge between two good Pokemon! This line is just plain solid across the board imo. I'll definitely have more to say when Dragapult gets revealed.

As for the Pokemon I have left: 1, 4, 5, 8, 11, 20, 28, 25, 30, 32 ... this seems fine? My number 1-8 are all in my top 100, and both 11 and 20 are very close to that threshold. 11 especially. Like I feel like I need to redo my ranking, that's how unsure I am lol. The other four are fine. Being in the upper third is good by me.

Being able to change bad typing into not-bad typing with a press of a button does indeed help in this aspect.

Also whoever said earlier that Frosmoth isn't bulky is objectively wrong. It has one of the best defensive abilities in the entire game and its massive bulk is the only reason why it can even attempt to be able to do something with its high Special Attack.

Frosmoth has Ice Scales (2x SpD) and its Ice so it gets the 1.5x Def from Snow, and another 1.5x Def and SpD from Aurora Veil, and another 1.5x SpD if it gets off a Quiver Dance thats pretty goddamn bulky.

This is what I have left:

if my #1 win that would be awesome. #3 would also be really good.
