Topic: Ranking Every Pokémon ever, tier list/Ranking!

@Snatcher I've been sitting on my bed with my laptop for the last half hour making very hard decisions and I think my brain is just rapid firing at this point, I have more stuff in C and D than any of the others.

D means I still like the Pokemon I'm just eh on them! That will save me time.

@Kermit1 I’m probably going to make personalized tiers, so I get my point across better, I haven’t even started yet lol!

... thats a good idea... I might do that...

Garbodor is my 5th favorite Pokemon of how ever many Pokemon we're currently at. Trubbish isn't far behind, but I'm not sure where I would put Trubbish in...I guess my Top 50.

@I-U That’s a rare one, I’m glad that Pokémon can find some love!

Oof. This will be a time-consuming endeavour.

But I'll probably get around to it at some point.

Done!

@Bankaj lol Brilliant.

I was too lazy to do the list after looking at those 800 Pokémon, but I might do one like yours in the future.

if you wanted to make it longer you could rate all the shiny forms too...

@QwegieII Why, did you have to say that, now I have to do that!

@Snatcher oof. I second that

@QwegieII @Snatcher @Kermit1 : I actually thought of that too. Perhaps we can rank shiny forms separately? Because there are many Pokémon whose shiny forms I love, but I don't much care for their normal colours.

@Silly_G I'm spending more time wondering how to rank all Pokemon then ranking them. lol

Whilst I'm ranking them away there, I'll tell you one mon I absolutely DESPISE.....but not necessarily for the reason you think: Dusclops.

There's a lot to like about Dusclops: it's a cool take on a cyclops (being somewhat of a cross between one and a mummy), it's got some nasty tricks up it's sleeve in terms of it's movepool and, most crucially, it's a beast in competitive VGC. But that last point there is exactly why I loathe it so much: it's so good in VGC that it completely outclasses it's evolution, Dusknoir, entirely.

Dusknoir, in case it wasn't already apparent, is one of my (if not my absolute) favourite Ghost types. So to see him constantly be pushed aside for an Eviolite-clutching, pure wall of a mon who takes an eternity to kill in addition to setting up constant status AND Trick Room? Yeah, that makes me peeved beyond belief. Cool Pokemon, but I hate him for pushing the better of the two design wise (in my opinion) out of the picture entirely.

Oh and Duskull's adorable. Just though I should put that out there.

@Fizza : I found a shiny Dusclops in Legends Arceus the other week and thought it was so cool as I really like Dusknoir (also one of my favourite designs, which I had never gotten around to ever having on my team over the years). Had I known of its status as a tank in the metagame (am I using that term right?), I probably wouldn't have evolved it and saved for another main series game as I am with shiny Abomasnow (due to its inability to Mega evolve in Legends Arceus).

@Silly_G To the entire line's credit: they all have banging shinies. Duskull and Dusclops have a lovely slightly desaturated red to them which just looks fabulous (maybe a bit blood-like even?) whilst Dusknoir goes for some more darker, ominous shades of blue, both contrasting it's previous evos whilst also just being a sight to behold.

To summarise: can you tell I've been hunting them in Legends Arceus? I've only managed to grab Duskull out of the three as of now but I'll keep trying for as long as it takes!

@Silly_G Definitely separately.

@Fizza : I was lucky enough to find it in a massive mass outbreak. Due to the fact that they have lower odds of producing shinies, I usually default to the single-Pokémon outbreaks (where available, unless it's something underwhelming).

I usually check each outbreak (in order of preference) to check whether there are any shinies within, but I don't bother with the massive mass outbreaks as it's far too time consuming for a much lower chance of reward.

I'd really love a shiny Togepi though (as underwhelming as its colours are). Shiny Porygon would be even better, but I'd likely have better luck breeding for one in Sword/Shield (and I'd absolutely panic if I ever find a shiny in a space-time distortion given that saving your game within won't save the encounters).

I tried ranking every Pokemon ever and most Pokemon ended up mainly in C & D so I'm just going to rank my favourite Pokemons in a tier list then.
