IronbloodPrime

Back when we were all like "what the heck is that?!"


Im_a_Sammich

That’s what I said when I saw it the first time! I was like “ok! Now we’re cooking with gas!”


shinytotodile158

I love Donphan! Do you like the paradox forms too?


Flimsy_Appearance626

I dated a guy named Don Phan once...


Deenstheboi

He must have had a great tusk am I right?


Firsun

I'm not OP but I think the OG donphan is perfect, balanced design, it feels like pokemon, etc. The others are...*gulp* ok. They don't look bad but donphan is the perfect design for me


AlwaysCurious27

I love great tusk


Im_a_Sammich

I do like the paradox forms! Caught a shiny Great Tusk in a beast ball and it’s one of my prized possessions. The OG donphan is my favorite, though. Ever since I saw it all those years ago I was in awe by it. I was like WHAT IS THAT!?!? I need it!!! Peak Pokémon design right there. The tire treads on its trunk/back, the tusks, the ears, the bands around its legs, all of it. An elephant that can roll up into a tire and proceeds to smash into things!? Uh yeah sign me up!


shinytotodile158

Wow, congrats on that amazing catch! I’m pretty sure I first saw Donphan on a tazo in the early 00s, I forgot that was ever a thing until now. It has a great shiny as well!

Background-Arugula52

I have a Goodra named Goozilla.


ThePhantomDecidueye

I always name my Goodra "Slime Shady"


VortexLMAO323

I like goodra too, personally it's my least favourite pseudo but it's still really nice, just wish it had a secondary type. It would've made a sick water/Dragon or poison/Dragon


BringBackForChan

Yeah, that's a shame they gave him the steel type in hisui. Anyways, sludge wave and muddy water are perfect moves for him


Lux_The_Worthless

Goodra is the bestest boi 🥰 I love the Hisuian form so much


Soaring-Boar

Came here to say the same. My Goodra is close to being a ribbon master. Her name is Ambrosia

Do it (I have no idea what you're talking about and want to know)


Massive_Campaign6046

The shinies don't match. Which is odd because of tinkatons dex saying it hunts corviknights to make its hammer. So the shinies should match too


[deleted]

Tinkaton hunt corviknight aha.

Oh neat! I guess I should read my Pokedex entries more lol

She’s been my go-to for years. Especially with her signature Choice Scarf. I nickname mine Aurelia. The name befitting an angel of her grace and splendour.


Eljay500

I always have to have Gardevoir on my team too! I haven't always named my Pokemon, but I named her Lady in my violet playthrough and I'm keeping it for every one going forward


AtomicToxin

I’ve got a shiny lapras I caught in pogo for my daily login spawn I named Nessie. I no longer play pogo after the reddit page banned me for no reason (I rarely even posted there) and they lowered shiny rates for community day. I brought nessie to letsgo, beat the e4, then did the same through swsh then sv. Lots of memories with my purple turtle baby


VortexLMAO323

That's such a cool story, I can tell you've had alot of memories made and experienced alot with that Lapras


AtomicToxin

Sure have! She even won me a small competitive tourney during the sv launch party. Our gamestop was giving away cards and I won lance’s charizard box! Shell armor g max aurora veil goes hard


GiratinaBabbies

Me too, my old reddit account got banned from pogo for a very unfair reason.. They look at your past activity and they saw interaction with "pokemon go spoofer trades" when I was innocently looking for someone to help trade with me! I wasn't even cheating or spoofing either!


AtomicToxin

I felt targeted for no reason. I wish there was a way to appeal mod decisions like that


Famous-Four-4398

The fact that some of the mods have visited and have posted in those subreddits makes it even worse


Separate_Job_3573

Shiny Lapras in PoGo is pretty stressful. Low catch rate and they can flee. I remember sweating trying to catch one.


craftsmany

They never lowered the shiny rate for community day


rustic_fall

Shiny Gengar named Ecto, I recatch him every game I play


VortexLMAO323

Gengar is a cool pokemon, has amazing forms too


Vaulted_Games

Golurk. Nickname: Golurk (I don't name any of my pokemon)


VortexLMAO323

I used to not nickname them either, I still rarely do but I nickname my tyranitar in every game because I just think it gives it more personality


Vaulted_Games

I guess it does, I just don't like to name them because of the anime making the pokemon shout their names (I find it weird)


VortexLMAO323

Tbf I think about that alot too, I respect what people think about nicknames tho, some people may like them some people may not, it's fine either way

If I had to say what my signature Pokémon is in Violet, it would be my starter. https://preview.redd.it/hzs3jdjk78ic1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2f1d7f878d8ee5a2ef65ee92245ba1bb29b776e4 Though she doesn't have a nickname (and neither does any of my Violet team), but like the rest of my Violet team (except for Torterra, which I added in place of Arboliva for the Indigo Disk) she's been through it all. From the Treasure Hunt around Paldea, the school trip to Kitakami, to visiting Blueberry Academy, exploring the deepest dephs of Area Zero, and the epilogue.


VortexLMAO323

I picked fuecoco as my scarlet starter too, the reason I didn't pick sprigatito was because I took a break from my type speciality (dark). I'm back to it now but I called my fuecoco "coco pops"


Shiny_lugia_2021

Mine is my Shiny Lugia. I have a very special connection to it. When I was younger, I used to fight various ailments. So I would always Soul Silver. And as a result, Lugia got me through most of my real life troubles


keanancarlson

My shiny, rare marked Roaring Moon in a beast ball is my new ace Pokémon for sure! It’s just too cool and rare not to have at the front of my party at all times

Collector_PHD

How do you feel about Ursaluna?


RoutineAlarmed9166

When Ursaluna was first released, I hated it and Pokémon for ruining my favourite Pokémon, but Blood Moon Ursaluna looks amazing, which has eventually lead me to hate Ursaluna slightly less. Blood Moon Ursaluna is up there with my favourites.


Collector_PHD

The Ursaluna variants made me love Ursaring so much more. Plus Sad bear is cute.

SbgTfish

Mimikyu and eevee. Eevee is named frisk like form undertale. It’s the lets go eevee. Mimikyu is named pikachu and he’s from swsh. I need to rename him for species clause (it was name clause right if that even exist?) though. I’ll just rename him pika or something. He’s probably my ace and frisk would be my lead or somthin.


Asterion_Morgrim

Any game it's available in, I always go back to Totodile. My boy was the second pokemon I ever owned (first was an accidental Lugia keyring from a supermarket surprise capsule. I didn't know there was change in the dial, and I was given a Lugia in return.) I love the Crocs in pokemon, and I initially hated Krokorok as a design, lol. Legit, when Fuecoco was shown, I knew it'd be some kind of reptile, so to get Skeledirge out of it just made my day. He's the perfect fire type croc to be the opposite of Feraligatr imo.

Thought it was cool when I faced it in White fighting Alder, used the lvl 35 one in the sequel and it’s been my favorite ever since. I named my first one Pyrax cause I thought its French name was cool at the time, and now when I get one I name it a combo of that and the regional gimmick. Terastrax is my gen 9 ground type badass and hopefully the gen 10 Pokédex has it. Yes, Iron Moth and Slither Wings existences made me happy as hell. My favorite got TWO variations on it in the same gen? Only Charizard and Mewtwo have gotten that treatment.


RottenCheeseBear

Onion my favorite starter and will always be but chespin is also my favorite https://preview.redd.it/tgwo1t7149ic1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c8db6ce0058fdfa976f5a809ddf5d4c7d67d376a


Disco_Lamb

Feraligtr. Totodile has been my favorite bestest boy since I can remember. Only thing stopping the Sheer Force Life Orb Train is Gen 2 character limits.


MrAnthem123

I know it might be overused one media but I choose Charizard. Charmander was my first Pokemon (card and starter). It was my first Pokemon that I bred/ev train a competitive one. I mained Mega Charizard Y and somehow managed to catch a Shiny Gigantimax Charizard during that one event who is my current go-to Charizard. I named him Ebon. I recently was thinking of how you could change a Pokemon but its typing still makes sense. Alolan Sandshrew’s name does not make since for example. So instead of Charizard being Fire/Flying, what if it was Fire/Electric? Instead of just being “Charred Lizard” or “Charcoal Lizard”, what if it was “Charged Lizard”? I’d also make this variant look like a Chinese or Japanese dragon with wings, like the blue and red dragons from ATLA. With it being a regional starter, I’d swap its Special Attack and Speed around, so 100 SpA and 109 Spe. Still going off of my imagination, in addition to the two horns it has, I’d have a single row of identical spikes going down the length of the body. Which I think would be a nice reference to the first Charmander back sprite where it had back spikes.


m_curtis_0725

Never be ashamed of your love for Charizard, my friend. Luxray may be my ace, but Charizard is right there as a *very* close second - so close that I used to prefer Charizard over Luxray, at one point in my life. Charizard may get a lot of love from Pokemon, yes, but I think you and I can both agree that it's one Pokemon that deserves it.

A few chains and failed catches later I caught her and then bred for Circe using old school breeding methods to finally get my 31/31/31/30/31/31 Adamant Marvel Scale girlie. She took work and I’m so proud of her ❤️❤️❤️ My other signature Pokemon is Ty, shiny Leafeon in a Friend Ball! 5 IVs and a good boy.

Suicune named Wallace. my favorite pokemon, will always always have him in my team even if i already have a water type.


Metaphysical-Alchemy

It’s always been a Kantonian Raichu since Red Version- and later always with an adamant nature + physical moveset (Surge gave me ideas as a kid). Really rocked during the x:y days with Fake Out, Iron Tail, Volt Switch and Grass Knot. It was never competitive, just a lot of fun. A few generations on from Alola; I’ve finally warmed up to the new form and though I don’t run with a Kantonian Raichu in my party now - he came out of Pokémon home to join the main team for the last few champion ribbons (we’ve been going since OG Ruby/Sapphire days).

Firewolf1121

Luxray. Varies in its nickname constantly


YourLocalCryptid64

I guess mine would be either Shiny Gardevoir or Espeon. I've used an Espeon named Vanilla since Gen 2 and so every time I'm able to get an Eevee and evolve it into Espeon I usually name it Vanilla and evolve it into Espeon XD Unless I am planning on using a different Eeveelution for whatever reason (such as Nuzlockes or because an Espeon wouldn't be good for my team. Usually if it's not an Espeon I evolve it into a Jolteon tho) ​ I've had the exact same Shiny Gardevoir since Diamond originally released. Male, named it Fravardin. It was the very first pokemon I actively shiny hunted for and I have transfered it up and used it in every game since (so Fravardin has made the journey from Sinnoh to Unova to Kalos, to Alola, then Galar, and is now chilling in Paldea). ​ Between the two, I'm not sure which would actually be considered my 'ace' though XD

Perrserker. Fell in love with it once I evolved my Meowth in Sword. Nickname: King Mouth. (For context: I name all my Meowth “Mouth”)

Mine if def Torterra


DemitriArgent

My signature Pokemon is Absol and his name's Abel. It's a shame that I can't travel paldea with him.


CarrotSause

That's hard for me, I switch all the time. I think my one constant throughout all the games I've played is the Ralts line, more specifically, Gardevoir. I started playing gen 6, so psychic/fairy was pretty good and still is. I even did a dragon type only play-through of Violet and had Gardevoir tera dragon. That just what I've used most, though. If I had a youtube channel and I had to have a mascot, I think one of the Tapu's or Gardevoir, as I am currently shiny hunting Tapu Fini and am planning to hunt Alpha Gardevoir so we'll see.


Josh-Wash-58

My signature Pokémon is Growlithe, I always have to catch him if he's available. He's been my favorite since I was a child, and I always name him Hawkes.

thedragoon0

I ALWAYS have a red gyarados on my team. It doesn’t have a special name. It’s just always on my team.


Background-Arugula52

I usually don’t have one Pokémon as a signature, I pick one relative to the game I’m playing. For Scarlet and Violet, I have a Sylveon named Pixie and a shiny Gyarados named Rouge (no, not “Rogue,” it’s Rouge which means red in French).


blockprime300

When I got into competitive while playing gen 6 ( around 2018 ) I started Pokémon breeding for perfect IVs, one of the first mons I did was garchomp, at the time a Pokémon I quite liked. Every gibble I hatched had a food related nickname so I could tell them apart, from this process I got Jelly, my first 6 perfect IV Pokémon, and one of my favourite Pokémon I own


Velursi778

If in game for Scarlet and Violet, it's my boy Hydreigon. If it's in general than either Garchomp, Tyranitar or Hydreigon. The only one I would name is Tyranitar as fluffy :)

In every run I've done where it's available and fits the run, my signature is a Noivern named Echoir


CyberDrago12

Mine’s Garchomp, though I don’t usually nickname my Pokémon.


KenCannonMKXI

My signature Pokémon has always been Garchomp, both shiny and non-shiny. I use one in almost every game, and the only time I don’t is if it’s straight up not in the dex, or I’m playing a spin-off (ranger, mystery dungeon). That being said, my first ever Pokémon that I have to this day, and the one I consider my partner, is an Empoleon named Pippy. And as of this latest generation, my friends know me as Cetitan’s number one fan, and the only idiot dumb enough to try and make my shiny Cetitan, Bowhead, viable in competitive play.

MrRudraSarkar

Garchomp


XIleven

Ive created a monotype party for my playable character and he always cycle between 3 of my favorite types; Bug, Steel, or Ghost. His ace from each type respectively are Scizor, Aegislash, and Mimikyu. Its a shame that my most absolute favorite pkmn Aegislash isnt in sc/vl The Female Counterpart monotype consists of Ground, and i gave her Nidoking as an ace, but while in Paldea her Ace is a tie between Garchomp and Clodsire

retro_aviator

Wes's Umbreon from Colosseum. Since you start with him you can't nickname him which is why I specify it Being Wes'. As I kid I got swindled out of my Espeon from Colosseum and got even more protective of Umbreon as a result. He was one of my first couple of pokemon to make it to nearly level 100 (nothing impressive now, but for a kid to do in gen three it was special) before losing him at level 98 to a memory card corruption. I started up a new Colosseum file this year and I get a little teary eyed any time he's the last one standing in a battle Edit: just noticed now this was the SV subreddit and nor the main sub, so sorry if it doesn't apply. I'm aiming to bring the one from this new save all the way to modern gen if that makes a difference.
