Board 8 > Favourite mythical 'pixie' pokemon?

(+) Yeah! (+)

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/8/3/AANyLIAADLoj.jpg
Row 1, L-R: Mew, Celebi, Jirachi
Row 2: Manaphy, Shaymin Land Forme, Shaymin Sky Forme, Victini
Row 3: Meloetta Aria Forme, Meloetta Pirouette Forme, Diancie, Marshadow

It's time for the very rare event-only pokemon that are usually unavailable in regular gameplay! We begin our mythical trip some small magical creatures. The first five gens followed a clear pattern with these little things, each one having a BST of exactly 600 split evenly among the six stats, but after that it gets a bit shaky and some of the inclusions here are debatable. We had to split them into two polls and this is how I decided on grouping them (I chose the smallest ones for today), apologies if you think Magearna should be here or Diancie shouldn't etc, the ones not here today will be in a poll tomorrow! Phione, Meltan, and Melmetal have already been in polls.

Meloetta~

where's Azelf

Still a lot of these are GREAT, so... hmmm... lemme think...

Marshadow > Mew > Diancie > Manaphy > Jirachi > Victini > Shaymin > Celebi > Meloetta

Marshadow is so good. I kinda stop caring at Diancie/Manaphy. Dislike the bottom two.

Shaymin > Mew > Diancie > Marshadow > Celebi > Jirachi > Victini > Meloetta > Manaphy

Azelf's part of the Legendary Lake Trio in Gen 4, not a mythical.

Meloetta.

Three of these are great and I don't care about the rest.

I guess I'll wait to see who needs the most help.

I've tried so many times over the years to like Mew, but no matter what aspect I focus on, I always come to the conclusion that he is, in fact, boring. I want to like him more but by mythical standards I just can't.

Celebi has cool powers (time travel).
Jirachi is fun to use, as one of the original Serene Grace users.
Victini has cool lore.

The rest are okay other than Marshadow.

I love Mew, Shaymin and Victini and am indifferent to the others.

Yeah let's go punch ghost. Waiting for my boi to show up in the other mythical poll (and then lose because most people don't like Hoopa as much as I do :( )

Marshadow is a top-tier Pokmon

friends

hedgehog

I've got big nostalgia for Mew & Celebi, but Marshadow is an absolute cutie.

Skymin is too great to not vote for.

I have no idea why Shaymin is winning when its the worst one.

My opinion of Meloetta will never recover from the anime.

Jirachi I think. This is definitely an uneven group. Skymin is one of my least favorite Pokemon but at least if it wins I can pretend it's winning because of regular Shaymin.

Celebi > Meloetta > Mew > Manaphy > Jirachi > Victini > Marshadow > Diancie > Shaymin

Top 6 are all pretty great.

Gotta go with Celebi here

Mew > Marshadow > Celebi > Shaymin > Jirachi > the rest.

Mew is a long time favorite.

Easy Shaymin vote for me, I'm not a massive fan of most of these (they're fine) but it's so cute! I prefer the 'hog form but Skymin is cool too.

I'm surprised Diancie is on no votes, Manaphy is my least fav here (and I think it has a worse design than Phione!).

Mew > Celebi > Jirachi > Meloetta > Manaphy > Marshadow > Diancie > Shaymin > Victini

Celebi, Shaymin, and Diancie are my favourites, but I'm leaning Celebi because Crystal is my favourite Pokemon game.

Huh, I like Shaymin but somehow never realized it was a legendary

Diancie > Celebi > Jirachi > Shaymin > Manaphy > Victini > Meloetta > Mew > Marshadow

I love this entire group, though, so it was very tough to rank.

Most of them are pretty good, but it's kinda tough to choose the best. I think I have to go with Mew for that one.

Meloetta > Mew > Marshadow > Jirachi > Celebi > Victini >Diancie > Manaphy > Shaymin

I love Mew, but Meloetta is too good

Fucking unleash V-Create holy shit yes

Mew = Marshadow > Shaymin > Celebi > Jirachi > Victini > Meloetta > Manaphy > Diancie

I do prefer the base form of Shaymin.

It is a Hedgehog. but it is made like a bush. it is a (Hedge)Hog and that is cute.

Uxie practically has Pixie in it's name

Meloetta > Marshadow > Celebi > Diancie > Mew > Jirachi > Victini > Manaphy > Shaymin

Meloetta is my favorite concept in the entire series, I wish it was more useful in practice but it still gets the top spot. Marshadow is just very good.

Big drop off from that point but I don't hate any of them. The bottom four are all annoying to fight though.

Sir.

(and I think it has a worse design than Phione!)

agree, probably not my least favourite overall since i have an unreasonable bias for any of them that have true mew equivalent status but design wise easily yeah

voted sad tanabata star comet genie. i rather liked its lore largely providing a very valid reason for it to not appear in normal gameplay

sad they retired the mew clone concept after gen 5 really, though they did stop at an ideal number to be fair

Voted for Shaymin, though not Sky Forme.

looks like Mew is the board fav!

Ended up voting Shaymin. Sky Forme is a top 5 Poke of all time for me.

Mew is great though too and Marshadow is underrated.
