Board 8 > Pokemon of the Year R1D42 ft. Umbreon, Squirtle, Grookey, Dunsparce [PotY]

(+) Yeah! (+)

It's User of the Year, but with Pokemon! And, y'know, a modified format, to fit the bajillion entries. I could use help with votals!
-Rounds are posted whenever I get to them, daily-ish.
-Regardless of when they are posted, they will last 24 hours unless stated otherwise (ie they might overlap)
-No alt-voting
-No being a jerk
-No deleting posts, this will be enough of a headache to count already.
-No changing votes, see above.
-One Pokedex number, one entry. I believe that means you get Paradoxes, but not Megas, -maxes, regionals, and Formes. You are welcome to factor that into your vote, or not, however you wish.
-I will never vote, but I will serve as the final tiebreaker, including in seeding.
-If you're muted by Para, or me, or whoever else is counting votes that day, that's rough, buddy.
-I can modify these rules however I want. Don't be the reason I do so.
-Please put extra effort into normal formatting and correct spelling so that the spreadsheets work properly!

ROUND 1 RULES
-Give +3, +2, +1, -1, -2, and -3 to Pokemon however you see fit.
-There are two divisions per day to do this for.
-Please use the Easy Vote form.
-Bottom three scores per division are eliminated (most divisions, 7/10 survive, but there are a few 11-mon divisions that will send 8 through)
-However, the top 11 scores from 8th (or 9th, in the bigger divisions) place finishers will survive.
-Top 26 scoring winners will receive a bye next round.
-1,025 Pokemon will enter, 730 will leave.

Claydol is a Jomon Dogu! I went to the national museum in Tokyo and the thing I was most excited to see was the dogu exhibit. Cool guys. Zeraora looks like a mascot for a junior high volleyball team, and is probably just as sticky.

I'm a big coalossal fan even though it kinda sucks now; cool concept for a fire/rock pokemon. Sandy shocks is straight up hilarious. The idea of a primitive magnet robot is daft, and when I saw it walking around on its magnets with iron filing hair sticking out of it I immediately knew we had a winner. Of sorts

Folks saying silk trap sucks compared to supersonic, but Grimmsnarl is the only one here that's a top tier Pokemon for me (though Dunsparce gets points because I fucking love Dudunsparce and I do like Claydol well enough)
