Here's some oddities for you! We've already done single stage rocks, so this rather eclectic mix of minerals is all that remains of the egg group.

Takes a lot for me to vote non-ghost over ghost but Falinks is so good and Dhelmise is one of the most forgettable ghost types

Falinks > Dhelmise > Klefki > Duraludon > Cryogonal

Falinks was the biggest surprise for me with the latest gen. What a cool unique pokemon with a fantastic design.

It was a long time before I figured out what the hell was going on with Dhelmise. It's great though, gets my vote easily. The rest of these are eh.

Falinks is a great design and no retreat makes it pretty interesting.

Falinks > Cryogonal > Dhelmise > Klefki > Duraludon

I voted for Cryogonal because I thought it could use it more.

Duraludon is really weird in a way that doesn't work for me.

Top row > Bottom row

Falinks looks like a Medabot, so I voted for it.

Voted Cryogonal. Actually used one in its debut generation. Shame about its HP, though.

Falinks is so damn good. Definitely one of the best of its gen. Good idea and execution. Everything else is fine, none of them are bad but none of em are great either. Gigantamax Duraludon is cool but the base form, not so much.

Falinks > Klefki > Duraludon > Cryogonal > Dhelmise

Falinks is in the same boat as Mimikyu where I'm surprised that the general population attached to it the way they did. I assumed in the beginning that most people would hate them.

Mimikyu is loved because most of us can relate to it.

Dhelmise, but this is a decent bunch

Voted Dhelmise but I like Klefki too. Not really sure what's going on with Falinks since I've never played a game it's in.

This is the first time I've ever seen Dhelmise

Dhelmise and Falinks are both excellent, solid bunch overall.

"oh yeah, that pokemon exists" is a pretty good description for all five of these

I actually like all of these. I think they're all weird in cool ways. Gave my vote to key baby though.

Falinks and Dhelmise are both so damn great. Really, the only one I'm "eh" on is Klefki, but I don't think it's bad at all. Falinks gets my vote, though. Such a creative design.

Cryogonal was really cool in gen 5 but the design has gotten worse somehow

super good day

cryogonal is cool

glad duraludon is in last

Cryogonal > Falinks > Dhelmise > Klefki > Duraludon

Falinks feels like a Megaman enemy or a Monster Rancher monster to me for some reason.

Anyway, voted for Duraludon for the cool typing (on a non-legendary).

I thought Klefki would have more support, and I'm surprised Dhelmise is doing well with how easily missed it is ingame (and its weird typing!).

Cryogonal is so cool looking. Voted for it.

"So why didn't Cryogonal Man use a Cryogonal?"
