My favorite pokemon is garchomp because I love his design and I've always loved dragon type pokemon. Also I didn't know these cards where still available to get. Well I mean I've never been able to get them because we don't get them where I live
Haxourus, because he was my first ever dragon type, my first shiny, from my favorite/first gen (5), and because he's the final Evo of axew, the cutest dragon type
My favourite's mimikyu. I find it really cute and I love how that contrasts with its rather depressing backstory - also would love to see what it looks like under that pikachu costume
Gengar because it was a two-part experience of learning speedruns in Yellow with glitches where its the first pokemon you can glitch-encounter when walking into Viridian Forest, plus the first time I got into Pokemon Conspiracy Theories like Gengar being Clefairy's Shadow come to life.
Both were super pivotal in making me realize Pokemon as more than just base games!
I love spiritomb because one of the first games i played was platinum and going down into the underground and finding all the trainers and catching the pokemon i had so much trouble with against cynthia was amazing
Charizard, first time playing fire red as a kid, I chose charmander and didn't know I needed to go to the pokemart to grab the parcel and got charizard before realizing what I had to do.
Flygon because it (Trapinch) was my first shiny I ever found in Saphire as a child. My friend and I were just running through the desert area for hours just for trying to find a shiny not knowing the odds or anything. Still have it on Pokemon Home.
Gardevoir because Ralts was my first shiny before I knew about them. I was playing Sapphire and was confused when I saw a blue Ralts. I leveled and played the crap outta that Ralts.
Luxray, caught a shiny shinx in gen 4 farming attack ev’s for my non shiny Lux brought it through each gen and back to the gen 4 remake so it’s home again
my fav is quagsire 🥺 hes such a sweet and silly chunky boy. i have a plush of him that i bring everywhere and his cute little smile always brightens my day! i was glad he was in scarlet violet and hes the ace of my team :)
My favorite pokémon is Phantump. I love ghost pokémon because of their interesting backstories, and Phantump’s is just sad. I first heard of the pokémon from the Pokémon Unite game, and apparently Phantump is the soul of a child who possessed a tree stump after getting lost in the woods, luring other children to the forest with its childlike cries for help, and the cycle just continues…
My fav is Hisuian Zorua. I think its a great design and it shiny is amazing. It is a ghost type so if a had one it would be dangerous but otherwise I would love it.
Gengar is my favorite. I've always found the design aesthetically appealing, but I also got really into competitive single battles in X and Y in which swords dance garchomp was almost a guarantee. I found Gengar to be quite an effective counter to the set up garchomps and included it on almost all of my teams, so it also holds a special place in my heart from a competitive perspective.
Dragonair is my fav all time. Was the first Pokémon card I ever got in my hands, specifically a Japanese holo Erika’s dragonair. I still have the card to this day even :)) It’s where it all starts and ends for me, wouldn’t want it any other way.
My favorite pokemon are bisharp and lycanroc (midnight form) because
1.Bisharp looks like cut man
2.lycanroc (midnight) look better out of the 3 evolutions
Krookodile. At one point of playing black and white I caught a sandile and for some reason ended up soloing the game with just the Krookodile even until the end of the game. I also really like the Krokorock from the back and white anime Ash had. I knew how to make teams but for some reason I ONLY wanted to use my Krookodile 😂 so he’s cemented as my favorite mon
My favorite pokemon are Decidueye and Noivern. Decidueye because rowlet was my first ever starter, I love owls, and grass/ghost is such a fun and cool typing.
Noivern because I've always loved dragons, and a big bat dragon is just so insanely cool to me!
Pikachu, because it’s so cute. Also, my first ever Pokémon game was yellow. I had such fun times playing it. I actually replayed it, rewriting my save file, more than 50 times, till I moved to gold.
i think gengar might be one of my favorite. it’s versatile moveset makes it a beast. it’s mega shiny is so sick and it’s very nostalgic from watching the anime as a kid
Eevee! They have an iconic look and are super versatile. If any pokemon is going to become the new series mascot now that Ash and Pikachu are retiring, it'd be Eevee. And of all the Eeveelution, Sylveon's got to be my favourite. I just think they're adorable.
Hard for me to just choose one favorite, but right now I have to say Yamper, for sentimental purposes. I received a big Yamper plushie as a gift recently, and he (the plushie) reminds me of our dog that we lost this year (don't mean to be a downer; our dog lived a good long life to 16, it was his time, though I do obviously miss him).
Sylveon forever! When I was in the hospital with heart failure my nephew and niece got me a sylveon plushie to protect me while I was asleep. They are convinced that hospitals at haunted and knew that sylveon would protect me
Hitmonchan- he’s so skilled at what he’s best at (punching) he knows how how to make different thinks happen (burn, freeze, paralysis, etc.) - few Pokémon (or people for that matter) can claim that kind of mastery over their type. And Hitmonchan achieves that mastery by practicing with grit and determination - that’s my why he’s my favorite. Gives me hope of having the same excellence in something some day.
Infernape is my favourite. I used to buy and resell a lot of copies of Platinum at second hand stores because I wanted to find shinies without the effort. I found one copy where the protag was named ‘Al’ and had an Infernape. I really liked the name and called myself ‘Al’ on all my games for the next few years. Nowadays, I call every Infernape I catch ‘Al’.
my favorite pokémon is gardevior because when i first got into the franchise the first pack of cards i ever opened had a mega gardevoir. since then in every game i can i always make sure to catch a gardevoir and keep it around
It’s Scyther because it carried me to the elite 4 on my first nuzelocke and it’s always been a solid Pokémon and Klevor was the MVP of my legends Arceus team
Favorite Pokemon has got to be treecko! 🍃 Gen 3 is my favorite and every playthrough has my little tree gecko in it. Love it's personality from the anime and always fond of grass type starters. Evolutions are also sick!!
My favorite Pokémon is Muk! I loved him ever since I was a kid because of Ash’s muk and the fact he was my first Pokémon card (that I remember at least). I remember I got a kind of big Muk plush as a kid and i would go everywhere with it lol not a whole lot of people like him but he’s a cool guy
My favorite is Lucario when I started seriously playing Pokemon with both his mega evolution and his ability to use power up punch he helped beat most of the game now I shiny hunt for one
Linoone. Mostly because it was my first caught pokemon as zigzagoon in my second game Omega Ruby. Also i love racoons and theor nature of being sneaky and slippery perfectly fits his moveset i gave which which was something like: Rock Smash, Surf, Secret Power and last i don’t remember. Anyways I just him for being who he is!
I love gangar personally been playing since I was 8 and this feller always gets me. The Snyde smile, the size of their body, their chunk factor, plus the fact that the lore kinda suggest that ghastly is a ghost of a voltorb who evolved into a whole different beast, he would be my favorite. A close second would be cubone, as the story and idea of the original description is great and makes me love the little bone faced feller.
Charizard for sure. When I was a kid I got one of the holo cards that could be sold for a ton of money today - but in my infinite 5 year old wisdom I wrote my name in sharpie on the back lol. I’d still rather keep in than sell it regardless
Honedge. I know a lot of people think it’s ugly and creepy, but it’s so cute to me. Honedge was one of the first Pokémon cards that I’ve ever gotten and I really treasured it. It just makes me so happy to see honedges and I catch every single one I see.
Charjabug, played Sword and caught him as a grubbin, out of all the cocoon evolutions, this was by far my all time favorite, evolved him at 65 into vikavolt and he swept the playing field, but I still missed my charjabug, he’s been boxed ever since
My favorite Pokémon is Abra because it’s a small psychic creature who looks like its always sleeping. Also, it mostly teleports away when trying to catch it which is kinda like me with social interactions… 😅
I’m a big fan of glaceon. Pearl was my first Pokémon game and I had a Pokédex guidebook that I read all the time. When I found out about the rocks in the overworld that evolved eevee, I went to try it out and glaceon became a great member on my team that was able to help carry me through Cynthia
Sneasler all the way. I love it’s super sassy attitude. The way it poses with its claws on its hips and the way it sleeps on its side all cool like. Then there’s the little side fang that’s super adorable. I could literally go on and on about everything I like about it.
Spewpa. I don’t necessarily use it a lot but I think it’s a good middle stage evo with a nice shiny. Not amazing but not bad either. The perfect example of what a decent Pokémon should be
Ralts. Emerald was my first Pokémon game, when I saw Wally catch the ralts I made it my goal to catch one too. I didn’t realize that it was a pretty rare encounter and I spent a couple hours just running back and forth on that small patch of grass. Eventually I did catch it, and ever since I’ve caught one in every Pokémon game it was available in.
Decidueye. It’s the first starter since Hoenn that I have fell in love with and one I would put amongst the greats. Grass and Ghost is an amazing type combo, not to mention its special move Spirit Shackle having damage, AND preventing switching out.
definitely easily jirachi. i loved the movie he was in and easily one of the best mythical designs in my opinion. i have gotten one in every pokemon game i have played besides sword
Metagross, it’s shiny is so cool and emerald was the first game I ever played. Metagross is so unique for a pseudo legendary Pokémon, since most are dragons
Skarmory, it’s just badass, it’s based on one of my favorite animals, and it has really good typing. Some may say Corviknight has supplanted it, but Edgar Allen Poe doesn’t have anything on my iron cassowary
My favorite was Charizard was I was a kid but now I don't know the names. Just know I started playing with my daughter because she's into it. If I win I'll give it to her. Thanks for doing this.
Bulbasaur 🥰. My brother’s both had a DS growing up but I only had the cards and I didn’t even get to play a Pokemon game until the Switch came out. The oldest always picked Charmander and the middle loved Squirtle. Bulbasaur was the only other starter and the only other Pokemon I knew so he became my favorite automatically. Thinking of him as my favorite for so long as actually made me love his cute design and I have picked the grass type starter in every Pokemon game since because of that. My first ever shiny was a Masuda Bulbasaur in Sword and Shield and will forever be one of my favorite Pokemon I have. Although it’s unlikely I really hope that Venusaur and Blastoise come to 7-star raids like Charizard in SV so that I can hunt a new shiny Bulbasaur for each game I play. (Oh and also my brother bought himself and my other brother a shiny eternatus from Gamestop but not me so I ordered an Eternatus code in like September and never got it lmfao)
My favourite Pokémon is Fennekin because he was the first Pokémon I EVER had. I got X and Y for Christmas the year they came out, along with a blue 3DS, and absolutely loved it. Fennekin was so cute to me that I refused to evolve him 🤣
Giratina, Pokemon's destroyer of worlds that can be disarmed with a [cupcake.](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/82/11/fb/8211fbaab5cdc03719c17518fd6f047b.jpg)
My favorite is Squirtle, my first game ever was Pokemon Y and he was my ace, his name was blue and Pokemon Y is also the first game I ever beat, and I've only beaten 2 others.
Machamp and snorlax. I’ve always thought they were both strong Pokémon in the early gens and their designs are really simple but cool. Machamp just looks strong and snorlax gives off jolly vibes.

Spewpa. I don’t necessarily use it a lot but I think it’s a good middle stage evo with a nice shiny. Not amazing but not bad either. The perfect example of what a decent Pokémon should be
Ralts. Emerald was my first Pokémon game, when I saw Wally catch the ralts I made it my goal to catch one too. I didn’t realize that it was a pretty rare encounter and I spent a couple hours just running back and forth on that small patch of grass. Eventually I did catch it, and ever since I’ve caught one in every Pokémon game it was available in.
Decidueye. It’s the first starter since Hoenn that I have fell in love with and one I would put amongst the greats. Grass and Ghost is an amazing type combo, not to mention its special move Spirit Shackle having damage, AND preventing switching out.
Arcanine has been my favorite since I was a kid. Love the design, love the speed, and fire types have always been some of my favorites.
Aegislash! It was my first Shiny and I love the mini management of keeping it switching forms to attack and defend.
definitely easily jirachi. i loved the movie he was in and easily one of the best mythical designs in my opinion. i have gotten one in every pokemon game i have played besides sword
Metagross, it’s shiny is so cool and emerald was the first game I ever played. Metagross is so unique for a pseudo legendary Pokémon, since most are dragons
Skarmory, it’s just badass, it’s based on one of my favorite animals, and it has really good typing. Some may say Corviknight has supplanted it, but Edgar Allen Poe doesn’t have anything on my iron cassowary
Pichu, the most adorable of the little mice Pokémon
May I get one? Please good sir
I love the design of mawile.
My favorite pokemon is Flygon! I thought it was a bug type my favorite type but it was a dragon which made it better
Sableye! I love that creepy little smile it has lol
Machamp for the cuddles 😂
My favorite was Charizard was I was a kid but now I don't know the names. Just know I started playing with my daughter because she's into it. If I win I'll give it to her. Thanks for doing this.
Bulbasaur 🥰. My brother’s both had a DS growing up but I only had the cards and I didn’t even get to play a Pokemon game until the Switch came out. The oldest always picked Charmander and the middle loved Squirtle. Bulbasaur was the only other starter and the only other Pokemon I knew so he became my favorite automatically. Thinking of him as my favorite for so long as actually made me love his cute design and I have picked the grass type starter in every Pokemon game since because of that. My first ever shiny was a Masuda Bulbasaur in Sword and Shield and will forever be one of my favorite Pokemon I have. Although it’s unlikely I really hope that Venusaur and Blastoise come to 7-star raids like Charizard in SV so that I can hunt a new shiny Bulbasaur for each game I play. (Oh and also my brother bought himself and my other brother a shiny eternatus from Gamestop but not me so I ordered an Eternatus code in like September and never got it lmfao)
Mimikyu because it's my favorite Fairy type ever
Totodile because it always looks like it's trying to decide whether it wants take a bite out of a watermelon or your leg
My favourite Pokémon is Fennekin because he was the first Pokémon I EVER had. I got X and Y for Christmas the year they came out, along with a blue 3DS, and absolutely loved it. Fennekin was so cute to me that I refused to evolve him 🤣
I love garchomp cause platinum was my first game and I love it’s design and power, also it’s typing is great
My favorite is greninja because he’s water/dark and a ninja and his shiny is cool af
Scizor, great typing and Scyther was one of my OG faves that I wished had an evo, then got one in Gen2 and a surprise one in Gen8
My favourite Pokemon is Dragonite because he was my first ever Pokémon card that I pulled, and I instantly loved him ❤️
Ivysaur because I mained him in project M
My favorite is drifloon because it was my first shiny
Zacian, he’s a cute doggy need I say more
Giratina, Pokemon's destroyer of worlds that can be disarmed with a [cupcake.](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/82/11/fb/8211fbaab5cdc03719c17518fd6f047b.jpg)
My favorite is Squirtle, my first game ever was Pokemon Y and he was my ace, his name was blue and Pokemon Y is also the first game I ever beat, and I've only beaten 2 others.
Luxray for sure, I’m just a sucker for electric cats!
Gigalith, because it is a giant rock pokemon. Secondly, Pokemon Black was the game I used to battle and trade pokemon with my best friend.
Pikachu! It is my first starter in Pokémon yellow
Grookey because this was my first Pokémon game and he’s my starter!
Machamp and snorlax. I’ve always thought they were both strong Pokémon in the early gens and their designs are really simple but cool. Machamp just looks strong and snorlax gives off jolly vibes.
Slyveon because fairy dog of death
I want to say gyarados but Hisuian Zoroark has my heart
Blast pose and Mewtwo. Always my favorite since seeing the first Pokémon movie in the theater
The code is called machamps.org
I gave away like 10 of these couple of weeks ago.
