I forget how Lechonk did, but I'm guessing its name got it an extra like 30 points lol
This is why they both got -3 from me (I don't remember what I actually gave them but this is what I wanted to do).

Earthquake Division
44 Rowlet
30 Zorua
21 Ninjask
19 Cramorant
8 Pelipper
6 Bibarel
-3 Dustox
-20 Skrelp
-27 Plusle
-78 Gothita

Instruct Division
49 Zapdos
30 Golisopod
23 Tauros (Tiebreaker?)
23 Toucannon (Tiebreaker?)
16 Dusknoir
-1 Drapion
-14 Seaking (Tiebreaker?)
-14 Skitty (Tiebreaker?)
-49 Drizzile
-63 Happiny

Star of the Day: Golisopod
Largely speaking, division winners have been mostly predictable throughout the contest but mostly not winning by margins high enough for me to point them out, so I've been going to interesting 2nd and 3rd place finishers more often, and Golisopod fits the bill for me today. 30 points is a solid showing!

Dud of the Day: Seaking
Regardless of whether or not it advances, voters did not say "fuck yeah" to Seaking.

Fun fact: Toucannon had an all-positive votes day. No negative votes cast for Toucannon.

On the other hand, I am absolutely convinced that Gothita would have had the lowest score of the contest if not for low votals. 31 out of 34 ballots voted for her - of those, just two were +1's, and every single other ballot cast (29 out of 34) was a -2 or a -3. Not even a single -1! I am near 100% confident that this is the worst ratio a Pokemon has had yet, but it avoids the -80 threshold nontheless.

If I hadn't missed day 41 (I remember looking at this so apparently I just didn't post for whatever reason). Seaking would have been eliminated and Toucannon gets a -3 lol. Happiny would get my +3, I loved it in the anime. Nothing else changes, glad Rowlet could win without me.

I can't hate Pelipper because of the fact that Wingull is one of two full odds shinies I caught in one day, but if it weren't for my insane luck (and a dash of gen 3 nostalgia) I don't know if I'd be so hot.

Cramorant meanwhile is aging like a fine wine.

For me, I just find it personally hard to give a shit about Mythical Pokemon, at least newer ones. Since they're the rarest of the rare and I don't pay attention to the anime or spinoffs ... I'm one of the biggest anthro defenders here probably, but I can barely remember what it looks like haha

I also feel like it probably should have been dual type too lol

Dunsparce ranked 85th out of 100 Gen 2 Pokemon? I would peg it for a lock at top 25 for sure. It always felt like a fan favorite like Farfetch'd.

I THINK it would rank higher nowadays though.

I never understood the concept of Dunsparce being disliked or being treated like a "meme". I always liked it and considered it to be a standard single-stage Pokemon like every gen has.

Yeah, I really don't get the design criticisms all too much, but I'm very much the kind of person who can get attached to a Pokemon through prolonged exposure and uh.......

Making your Pokemon almost impossible to get isn't exactly making that easier

Yeah, I have zero chance to ever get attached to Zeraora since I'm not watching the movies or playing spinoffs. Probably another reason why I don't like most legendaries. I don't think it has a bad design but it's one of the least interesting additions to the series for me.

I also gave a +3 to Brionne to try and save it from a last place finish in its division, but it also got a +3 because that was a very weak division for me. I also combined it with a tactical -3 for Alomomola because it's the only Pokemon in that division with any chance to end up below Brionne.
