The Abra line goes 2 for 2 as gen 1 takes complete control of yesterday's group.

(Read left to right, top row to bottom row)

And we get a full roster of 10 for the final stage in this human-like egg group. Yesterday we had four gen 1 reps and none from gen 4, today we have two gen 1 reps and three from gen 4! But who will win?

Voted Alakazam, but losing that massive tail is such a downgrade. Also that tail must weigh a lot since Alakazam is lighter than Kadabra.

Electivire deserves more love. By FAR the best of his line and the best one of this group as well. Alakazam is fine too.

Picking one of Alakazam / Machamp / Gardevoir is VERY hard but in the end I think Alakazam has stuck with me the longest

Gardevoir is by far my favorite of these

Electivire is top tier

Electivire > Alakazam > Gardevoir > Machamp > Gallade > Conkeldurr > Magmortar > Grimmsnarl > Rime > Gothitelle

Gardevoir, but I unironically love Magmortar and it's definitely my second fave here.

Conkeldurr by far the worst.

Electivire > Gallade > Machamp > (shiny) Grimmsnarl > Gardevoir > Mr. Rime > Conkeldurr > Alakazam > Magmortar > Gothitelle

Electivire easily the best. I don't really care much about any of the others.

Machamp is too much fun in Pokken for me to not vote for him, even if Mr. Rime is aesthetically excellent, gross tap dancing clown man is a STATEMENT to beat others with.

Honestly a great set, though not at all a fan of the Gen V final stages, think their middle stages have much stronger designs (and I don't really care for Gurdurr).

Magmortar for Mega Man pride.

Machamp for second.

I only really like Alakazam and Gallade here. The rest of the top row is okay, with Magmortar in particular being a huge improvement over its awful predecessors. And the rest of the bottom row is just tragedy after tragedy.

Machamp > Electivire > Gallade > Gardevoir > Alakazam > Magmortar > Mr. Rime > Gothitelle > Conkeldurr > Grimmsnarl

All around decent final evos. Nothing exceptional, nothing abhorrent.

Went with Alakazam but not a huge fan. Such a diwngrade from its pre evos.

This is a great list.

I voted for Magmortar, but mainly because I reckoned he'd need more love and those arm cannons are so cool

Could have picked any of them except Gothitelle, Rime and Conkeldurr, and I don't even dislike Conk that much

Mr. Rime is so good. I think I would flip/flop on this between him and Gardevoir but today is a clown charlie chaplin kind of day.

If you had told me a few years ago that pokemon would give an evolution to Mr Mime, I would have shuddered with fear and assumed the evo would be an abomination. But I actually like him! Just look at the silly man go!

...That said, I voted Gallade. Honestly I think most of these are 'fine' but I'm not massive on the human-like pokemon apparently.

Really hard to pick between Gardevoir and Gallade but I went with Gardevoir in the end.

Alakazam > Gallade > Mr. Rime > Machamp > Gardevoir >>> Electivire > Magmortar > Grimmsnarl > Gothitelle >>> Conkeldurr

Top 5 are all great and hard to order. Next four are pretty bad, and Conkeldurr is an abomination.

Gallade is probably my #1 Pokemon.

Difficult choice between Champ and Gardevoir...

I am not surprised to see the Waifu Pokemon winning.

If Electivire got fighting type and Magmortar got psychic type added, one of them would be in the running for me here

Gardevoir > Gallade > Alakazam > Machamp > Magmortar > Gothitelle > Grimmsnarl > Electivire > Conkeldurr > Mr. Rime

Conkeldurr is my favorite Fighting type, no questions. And it's one of the only types for which I can so easily pick a distinct #1 without having to juggle between two or more. Definitely in my top 10 overall.

I hadn't heard of people loving Conkeldurr before, that's cool.

Gothitelle is great. I guess I am the only one on this board who likes the gothic look. (If I wasn't lazy, I'd probably dress that way)

I'm generally neutral-to-positive on the gothic look, but my problem with Gothitelle lies elsewhere. Aside from the awkward first stage that paints the rest of the line in a bad light, Gothitelle kind of looks like a weird cake body with a bowtie head. Now that I think about it, she looks like a cut-up tie.

All the Goth line received multiple votes so you're not the only one!

All three threads combined...

Gardevoir > Abra > Kirlia > Alakazam > Gallade > Electabuzz > Electivire > Machop > Kadabra > Machoke > Magmortar > Magmar > Machamp > Ralts > Timburr > Morgrem > Grimmsnarl > Impidimp > Gothorita > Gothitelle > Conkeldurr > Gothita > Gurdurr > Galarian Mr. Mime > Mr. Rime

I really like Gothorita but the other two in the line aren't that great.

Conkeldurr is such a massive improvement over Gurrdurr. I actually like it a fair bit.

I quite like Gothitelle too (now that I think about it it's probably #2 on this list), but I'm not used to seeing it in direct comparison to Conkeldurr.

Conkeldurr is one of my favorite fighting types. It's Guts-boosted Mach Punch was soooo good.
