Both male and female Basculegion are depicted in the top right, and Enamorus is shown in both Incarnate and Therian Formes on the bottom right.

Six pokemon got brand new evolutions in the latest main series entry, and we were also introduced to a new legendary genie. But which pokemon exclusive to Hisui is the best?

I think that the poll was basically equal pre-stuff and Typhlosion could've pulled it off regardless, but sadly we'll never know

Overqwil > Ursaluna > Wyrdeer > Kleavor > Basculegion >>> Sneasler > Enamorus

Uhhhhhh man I dont even know. Basculegion maybe? Honestly dont care for any of them much.

Ursaluna > Basculegion > Wyrdeer > Overqwil > Kleavor > Sneasler > Enamorus

The first three are all really good. The next two are fine. The last two not so much.

Basculegion/ursaluna > Kleavor > Overqwil > Wyrdeer >> Sneasler >> Enamorus

Overqwil > Ursaluna > Wydreer > Basculegion > Kleavor > Sneasler > Enamorous

I ended up voting for 'qwil but the first three are pretty evenly great for me. Bottom 2 are really bad, though

Overqwil

These are mostly bad (with some being really bad) and then there's Basculegion, who rules.

Enamorous looks like a DBZ villain.

There's nothing good here. I like the concept of a Rock type Scyther evo as an ancient alternative to Scizor, but the resulting Pokemon is awful. I guess Wyrdeer is the one that I'd be most excited to see when it comes to a real game. Sneasler has a funny name but that's it.

I think Overqwil is the only one who manages to be different enough to be interesting, without being too busy or over-the-top.

basculegion sick as hell

these all look terrible

except Wyrdeer who is hilarious

Ursaluna was my MVP throughout the game

Wyrdeer/Basculegion/Overqwil > Kleavor/Ursaluna > Sneasler/Enamorus

These... arent great

Wyrdeer I guess

Close between Wyrdeer and Basculegion, but I went with the fish.

I think these are all a lot better looking in game, except Sneasler and Enamorus, which are questionable, 3D or 2D. I don't think they're bad looking in general, although a few are overdesigned. Overqwil and Wyrdeer are both hilarious. I like them all bar those first two much more than I was expecting when I first saw them! And Enamorus got dealt a bad hand in life just through existing, given it comes from the line of some of the ugliest legendaries we've gotten. Sneasler is a real letdown, though.

Overqwil > Basculegion > Ursaluna > Wyrdeer > Kleavor >>>>>> Enamorus > Sneasler

These are pretty good minus Enamorus.

Wyrdeer is a bro though so he wins.

I still can't believe they took the most pointless filler Pokemon in Gen V and turned it into something so cool.

Definitely the spectral fish

Basculegion only because jumping and throwing pokeballs in slow motion is awesome

Basculegion takes it, Overqwil is second. The rest didn't really need to exist. Sneasler is the only bad one.

Up. I'm interested to hear from the Enamorus voters, every mention of it here has been negative but there's at least 7 of you who think otherwise!

Didn't need another genie and this one looks fucking dumb

I'm more puzzled than anything. Thunder, Tornado, Land, Enamor??

Enamorus is so horrid that it's still manages to be worse than the absolute (and needless) butchering of the sneasel line.

It's based on the Chinese compass

Someone even half-predicted it here

Oh that is cool! Why does it represent love though? I mean it must make sense cos that user even predicted that part, but it's such a weird fourth thing.

I like Sneasler and Overqwil, but I voted for Sneasler since it had less votes.

Edit: wow shocked everyone hates Sneasler so much, I like it better than the original Weavile. Still don't get why this one is hated and the other one is liked so much. I love Sneasler's coloring!

Sneasler is the only bad one.

I just actually looked at Enamorus and I take this back.
