Everyone has a favourite Pokémon and recently in Japan, the strategy guide website 'GameWith' ran a poll asking trainers to vote for their top Pokémon from Scarlet and Violet's Paldea region.
"Close to 152,700 people" apparently put their vote in and in the end, the new-generation grass/dark-type evolution Meowscarada won! In second place was the fire-type starter Fuecoco, and the ghost/fire-type Chandelure was in third. You can see the top 20 below, courtesy of Silconera:
- Meowscarada
- Fuecoco
- Chandelure
- Sylveon
- Tinkaton
- Lucario
- Mimikyu
- Clodsire
- Gengar
- Gardevoir
- Teal Mask Ogerpon
- Umbreon
- Ceruledge
- Pawmi
- Glaceon
- Garchomp
- Sprigatito
- Flygon
- Alcremie
- Slither Wing
The same poll covered the "top 100", which you can view on 'GameWith' (you can also see how many votes were awarded to each Pokémon). Quaxwell, the water-type starter made the 100th spot on this same list. Keep in mind, that this is an unofficial poll.
Who is your favourite Pokémon from the Scarlet and Violet generation? What do you think of the poll results? Leave a comment below.

And that’s why game freak make Pokémon like that
I don't care how sexy they make final evolution Pokémon, I will always love Fuecoco.
He little boy (:
I love my Meowscarada, but cute litte Sprigatito will always be my favorite. Tinkaton and Clodsire are definitely in my top 5 as well.
I think I‘ll always love Dudunsparce just for the fact that Game Freak saw everyone wanting something else with the Dunsparce line and gave them the ultimate monkey’s paw.
As for actual answers, I do really like Quaxly and Greavard, the designs of the new mons are generally really good with the exception of the easy punching bag of Flamigo.
As deserved as of the best starter of Gen 9.
If Smash Ultimate was still around, I supposed Meowscarada would join, as its gimmick could certainly work in gameplay.
Let’s be honest no matter what your opinions are on Pokémon nowadays if theirs one thing that you can admit is that the designs for some of the Pokémon are still solid.
The lack of Blaziken in that list is a crime
But at least Flygon made it into the list
Why's there never any love for Pancham/Pangoro or Ursaring? Their designs are adorable (Pancham) and cool (the other two). Yet they never make any popularity lists. Hell, I like Ursaluna too simply because of how dopey it looks. Praise our ursine overlords!
Of course number one is an egirl/furry..
Never been a fan of these types of Pokémon, they always remind me of Yu-Gi-Oh characters rather than Pokémon.
Meowscarada also has the honor of being the only starter pokemon that I dropped after seeing its final evolution
From Gen 9 my favourite has to be Sprigatito.But nothing beats the starters from the first generation.
When I first saw her, I doubted GameFreak, since I expected great cuteness from Sprigatito's evolution.
But then she grew on me and it's one of my favorite starter line, and that's coming from gen 1 veteran
MissingNo is still my favourite!
No Dragonite? These people have no taste lol
Quaquaval is gay rights and deserve more.
The furry bait will always win. I knew the second Braixen made it into Pokken Tournament over its evolution (or hundreds of other choices) that there is great pull for these designs.
a reminder that meowscarada looks like natural, but shorter & furrier
@JakedaArbok noticing that Flamigo is a punching glove made me at least appreciate the idea a little, if you have missed that one.
Overall great picks, not surprising to see Meowscarada on top (and personally don't mind it at all, the Sprigatito line would've been my first choice if my sister didn't choose it), but what a nice surprise to see my boy Fuecoco immediately below in second place!
Given its Pokemon that's a tiny sample size
Everyone complaining about humanoid / bipedal Pokemon, yet Mewscarada being voted as the most popular.... Yeah maybe that is the same case as with the recent absolute lack of challenge in those games; maybe that is part of why they sell so well even if I can't understand it.
Seems like it is really time for me to turn the page and leave this franchise behind for good. Definitively not their target anymore (been playing since Crystal version in my GBA)
All this tells me is to be thankful Smash Ultimate finished before this game was revealed.
No Pikachu? No Charizard?
Nothing makes sense anymore 🤪
@MirrorFate2 Maybe she could join in a future Smash game. It'd be awesome.
Awesome. Such is the Power of Meowscarada! Here's hoping she joins Smash one day. She'd be the perfect Pokémon newcomer: Scarlet & Violet is the most successful Pokémon game ever, there's still no Grass Solo Pokémon in Smash as a playable character.
Poor Quaxly, though. Not anywhere in the Top 20.
@LanceOSX Charizard places at 23 and Pikachu at 38.
And you wonder why Digimon are full of humanoid mons
The minute I saw that evolution, I thought to myself "Yep, that one's gonna become the new most popular Rule 34."
I guess we know which Pokémon there gonna add in the next Smash game then.
Shows how good the new Pokemon designs are for so many of them to make the current top 20. Slither Wing is indeed super adorable, and Paldean Winds showcases how lovable Fuecoco can be. However, Alcremie or even Garchomp beating out a 'Mon like Dragonite is a crime!
In fact, Gengar is the only Gen 1 Pokemon present on the current list! Very different from Western audiences.
Rayquaza at #98, wow. I thought it was more popular
Good choices. Sylveon and meowscarad 👍, very cool
