Togekiss > Togetic > Togepi

I hated the line for awhile but Togekiss is one of my favorites to use now.
---

Well this one is just going to be sad :(

Poor Togetic
---

Togekiss is the only one that doesn't blow

Hilarious, Ermine.
---

The truth is sometimes hilarious!~

Togepi

I'm against any Pokemon deliberately designed to irritate (Ludicolo being the chief architect of this), and that's what Togekiss is. I like the power and the design is ok, but it's specifically designed to outrage players with its combination of Body Slam, Air Slash and Serene Grace

If you vote for Togekiss here you're voting for weird vindictiveness and a design choice that hates and alienates players by literally forcing inaction the majority of the time. And that's ok if you don't really care about that stuff, but that's exactly what you're doing.

Togepriiii

Really don't get the appeal of Togekiss. It's fugly
---

Togekiss and Togetic are both great (design-wise, anyway; I've never done competitive battling)

Togepi is awful

Why Body Slam when Thunder Wave exists?
---

Togekiss > Togepi > Togetic

But the entire line as a whole is good. I happen to prefer Togekiss because it's the most cute one in that line.
---

Togepi in the anime is so cute I just can't vote for the others.
---

Togepi all the way

Because Body Slam used to have stab

But sure, yeah
---

STAB doesn't matter when you have 50 base attack. You might as well use Thunder Wave at that point since it's more likely to cause Paralysis and it doesn't do that much worse damage.
---

alright dude

Just remember seeing a few with Body Slam back in the old DP days in particular

Togekiss would have gotten STAB on Body Slam prior to XY, but as noted in an earlier post, it doesn't matter when it has base 50 Attack. The typing change beginning with XY means that Body Slam is all but worthless on Togekiss.

don't like this line at all, starts bad and gets worse each evolution

I think we're all missing the point here a little
---

The point being Togekiss is wonderful.
---

you could run Body Slam for paralysis support to paralyze Pokemon who are immune to T-wave depending on your coverage. Serene Grace gives Body Slam 60% chance to paralyze.

imagine voting based on mechanics

the problem here is racism against cute pokemon
---

i like cute pokemon. this line is not cute at all.

Well, the entire line as a whole is cute, so there isn't any way to be racist in this poll.
---

It's not racism regardless you catastrophic weirdo
