Porygon has the edge on the competition, and Vanillite stops the gen 1 trio from sweeping the top 3.

uhhhh

Graveler > Porygon2 > Carkol > Vanillish > Boldore

Porygon2 and Carkol are good.

Vanillish and Boldore get better when they evolve.

Graveler is whatever but at least it's distinct from the rest of its line, which cannot always be said about middle evos or gen 1 Pokemon.

Carkol > Porygon2 > Boldore > Graveler > Vanillish

I like Vanillite and Vanilluxe, but not Vanillish. It's a fine line between good silly and bad silly.

i appreciate but detest carkol

the rest are pretty good really, all ones that have grown on me over time

Carkol's face gives him the win here

Carkol

Love that little mine cart gremlin

Boldore for sure

Fuck Graveler. It's the only shiny Pokemon I've ever found and it used Selfdestruct on turn 1.

Tough one for me, the top row are all pretty similar quality. Bottom row is kinda awful though.

rocks

Yes?

thirteen rocks

...Yes?
