Hydrate or die.
Refreshing.
Greetings Pokefans!
Michael here.
Have you guys seen the latest Pokémon Sun
and Moon news?
UB02 Beauty and UB02 Expansion?
Holy crap!
These guys look straight up eeveel!
Gotcha.
So over the course of the last few months,
I’ve made two videos talking about my personal
feelings on certain Pokémon, and both have
done fairly well.
However both of them were videos talking about
which Pokemon I disliked the most, and since
I don’t want to be a negative nancy and
I haven’t done a video about Pokémon I
personally like since Top 5 Mega Evolutions
almost a year ago, I thought it was time I
make a video talking about some Pokémon that
are some of my favorites.
And one of the “categories” that many
of you have requested to see has been my favorite
Pokémon of each type, so that’s what I’m
going to do!
In this video, I’m going to list off my
favorite Pokémon of all 18 types as of Generation
6.
To give this list more variety, any dual type
Pokémon will only be counted for one of their
two types.
So for example, if Skarmory was on here, it
would only count for the flying or steel type
entry, not for both.
Also if this video conflicts with the Pokémon
I listed in my Top 10 Favorite Pokémon video,
that’s only because it’s been over two
years since I made that video and my preferences
have changed a bit.
So be sure to leave a like and subscribe if
you haven’t, and without further ado, here
are my favorite Pokémon of each type.
I’ll go through this list alphabetically,
so the first type up is Bug, and my favorite
Bug type is Scyther.
Scyther is obviously a really cool looking
Pokémon and definitely one of the more fearsome
bug types, since most aren’t all that impressive.
Blades for hands is really badass, and its
whole appearance is a nice balance between
bug-like and almost sort of reptilian, at
least with the face.
I chose Scyther over Scizor simply because
I like Scyther’s appearance more, but I
do still like Scizor a lot.
Not Mega Scizor though.
It looks too much like a weird robot.
Scyther is really awesome and is definitely
my favorite Bug type Pokémon.
Well, until November.
Then Vikavolt takes over.
For Dark type, my favorite is Umbreon.
In addition to being my favorite dark type,
Umbreon is also my favorite eeveelution.
I think the black with yellow rings is a really
cool color scheme, and I think it looks the
most intimidating of all the eeveelutions.
I’ve been attached to Umbreon since Pokémon
Colosseum, and I also think it’d make a
really good pet in real life.
Plus Umbreon’s character in Pokémon Talk
is just so much fun for me to make.
I know Jolteon and Umbreon can be a little
bit crazy sometimes…
AAAH!
THE FLOOR TENTACLES ARE DROWNING ME!
Okay maybe more than a little bit.
My favorite dragon type is Haxorus.
I love this beast.
It’s incredibly scary looking, but in the
cool type of scary, not creepy type.
The fearsome glare, reptilian features, and
the freaking blades on its face are just too
cool to not want to use one.
I used a Haxorus named Razor to defeat the
Pokémon World Tournament in Black 2, and
it has since been my favorite dragon type.
My favorite electric type Pokémon is Luxray.
Luxray is my 3rd favorite Pokémon in my Top
10 Favorites list, and it has remained one
of my favorite Pokémon to date.
It’s super badass looking, and I’ve enjoyed
using one in various Sinnoh playthroughs.
And of course its name is freaking epic.
For fairy type, I chose Xerneas.
I picked X version because I liked Xerneas
more than Yveltal, and I definitely made the
right choice.
It’s a majestic, unique Pokémon, and I
love that it represents life while still giving
off an aura of strength and power.
I used it in my original X playthrough and
thoroughly enjoyed messing up my opponents
with it.
Although I have to say, Alolan Ninetales gets
this spot when Sun and Moon come out.
I just needed to mention that because, like
Vikavolt, it is way too awesome for me to
leave out of this video.
My favorite fighting type is Breloom.
I’ve liked Breloom ever since I started
playing the original Hoenn games, and the
first time I ever made a balanced team in
a game that wasn’t just my starter, I had
Breloom on my team.
I think it has a nice balance of cuteness
and badassness, somehow being an aesthetically
pleasing combination of dinosaurs, kangaroos,
and mushrooms.
Plus picturing it decking the absolute crap
out of Pokémon with those claws is a really
entertaining mental image.
For fire type, I chose Charizard.
My love for Charizard started a lot more recently
than most people.
I’ve always thought it was really cool,
but I started to like Charizard more once
I saw its megas.
It is admittedly unfair that Charizard got
two when the other Kanto starters only got
one, but I can’t deny that both of them
are really cool, especially Mega Charizard
X.
The first Pokémon I ever bred with 5 perfect
IVs was a Charmander I named Demon that I
used as a Mega Charizard X, and I’ve loved
it a ton ever since.
If only it didn’t suck in Smash.
My favorite flying type is Talonflame.
I think Talonflame is the coolest regional
bird by quite a large margin, but not only
that, it’s probably the most useful Pokémon
I’ve ever had.
I’ve used it with phenomenal success in
competitive on several occasions, both in
VGC and in the Battle Maison, and the fact
that it can both fly and has the Flame Body
ability to help hatch eggs means that there’s
a Talonflame in my party pretty much constantly
in both of my Gen 6 games.
Talonflame’s usefulness, battle strength,
and just plain cool appearance makes it easily
one of my favorites.
For ghost type, I chose Gengar.
Gengar is the OG ghost type beast, and to
this day I still think it’s the coolest.
It has a creative design that’s simultaneously
scary and cool with a little bit of cute sprinkled
in.
I mean come on, just look at those cute little
feetsies.
I...uh...gotta go!
The only time I’ve really used Gengar was
on my playthrough of Y version, but he was
really fun in that, and his mega form just
absolutely dominates.
If you’ve been around my channel for awhile...or
looked at the posters...or paid attention
to my shirt, this next one will come as no
surprise.
My favorite grass type and favorite Pokémon
of all time is Sceptile.
Sceptile was the first Pokémon I ever had,
is extremely cool looking, kicks butt in the
anime...the list goes on and on.
If you want to hear more about how much I
love Sceptile, check out my Top 10 favorites
video, but even if you don’t, just know
that I absolutely adore this guy.
For ground type, I chose Gliscor.
Those of you who have seen my Top 10 Favorites
might be confused that Torterra isn’t in
this spot, and the reason for that is simply
because Torterra hasn’t really had a prominent
part in any Pokémon games I’ve played for
the last several years, whereas recently I’ve
developed quite a lot of affection toward
Gliscor.
I still love Torterra though, and it’s definitely
within the Top 3 for both Grass and Ground
type.
But now let’s just talk about Gliscor.
I’ve always thought Gliscor was really cool
and a massive improvement on Gligar.
It’s got cool coloring, intimidating features,
and awesome wings that remind me of Batman.
I’d used Gliscor multiple times in competitive
in the past calling it Nightwing, but recently
I had one in my Platinum nuzlocke that I just
finished, the first time I’d ever had one
for a playthrough.
Metal the Gliscor was the MVP toward the end
of the game, and using him has made me really
like Gliscor a lot more.
My favorite ice type is Lapras.
As I said in my Top 5 Possible Alola Forms
video, everyone loves Lapras, which is very
true for me!
It’s really cool-looking and pretty, and
I love the fact that it’s the go-to surfing
Pokémon.
They definitely chose a great one for that
role.
For normal type, I chose Castform.
I have always loved this adorable little cloud.
In my opinion, there is no cuter Pokémon
than Castform.
That round head, little white mask, and cute
little smile wins me over every time.
I love the gimmick of it changing with the
weather, and that combined with its cuteness,
ability to float around, and need of minimal
food would make it an awesome pet to have
in real life.
I only wish that it was stronger, since unfortunately
Castform is hopelessly weak.
Just look at the absolutely savage Smogon
article about it.
But I still love it!
My favorite poison type is Crobat.
I’ve always been a fan of Crobat, training
up my own in several different games that
I’ve played.
It’s really awesome looking, pretty powerful,
and a massive improvement on Zubat and Golbat.
Plus the four wings was so well done.
My favorite psychic type is Gallade.
I was never all that into Gardevoir, but when
they came out with Gallade I liked it immediately.
It reminds me of a valiant knight, but with
swords on its elbows, and we know how I feel
about Pokémon with cool blades on their arms.
Gallade didn’t have its mega when I discussed
it in my Top 10 favorites, so I’ll say now
that I also think its mega is really cool.
I never thought a cape would look cool on
a Pokémon, but they did a great job with
our duel-disk friend here.
For rock type, I chose Gigalith.
I don’t have a whole lot of sentimental
attachment to Gigalith, but that doesn’t
change the fact that I like it a lot.
I think it’s one of the coolest Unova Pokémon,
just behind Haxorus and Zebstrika, and it
stands out from a lot of other rock types
with its unique body style and color scheme.
Also have you seen what its shiny looks like?
So freaking cool.
One of the best I think.
Sticking with the theme of badass quadruped
mineral creatures, my favorite steel type
is Metagross.
Metagross has always been a Pokémon I’ve
thought was really cool.
Its face with a big X on it is really intimidating,
plus I like how it can both be a walking behemoth
and a floating spaceship with psychic powers.
I have fond memories of using Optimus the
Metagross back in Black 2 along with Razor
the Haxorus, and Metagross will remain my
favorite pseudo legendary for likely a long
time.
The final type on this list is water type,
and for this I chose Blastoise.
Originally I liked Gyarados more, but after
Cyrus’s was a massive jerk in my Platinum
nuzlocke, it lost some points with me.
So instead I’m talking about the 2nd coolest
Kanto starter, Blastoise (although for the
record I think Venusaur is cool too).
Squirtle was my favorite Pokémon
Today is a good day!
for a period of time as a child before playing
any of the games, and even though Sceptile
passed it up, I still chose Squirtle for my
first playthrough of LeafGreen, and Squirt
the Blastoise kicked a lot of butt.
It’s a really cool Pokémon that I know
a lot of people like, and I think they are
very justified in their opinions, because
Blastoise is awesome.
So there we have it!
Those are my favorite Pokémon of each type.
Before I end the video, there were some Pokémon
that I like a lot that I unfortunately wasn’t
able to fit in here, but still want to mention
them!
So the honorable mentions are Flygon, Torterra,
Zebstrika, Tauros, Blaziken, Walrein, and
Hawlucha.
