2. Dragapult (#887)

Great type combination, extremely fun design gimmick, ridicously good too. No complaints. andylt (3) - The best pseudo in a long time, if not the best ever. Really cool while also silly in a fun way, and a great typing. Ermine (4) - Awesome Pokemon. Best Pseudo by far NFUN (5) - Honestly, Dragapult looks kind of stupid but his concept is amazing. Launching its first form like a motherfucking Broodlord is so cool. And the Pokedex entry is unintentionally hilarious to me, "Apparently the Dreepy inside Dragapults horns eagerly look forward to being launched out at Mach speeds." They nailed this one Paratroopa1 (5) - probably won. idk? probably this or corviknight or toxtricity. maybe falinks as a dark horse Inviso (6) - Not one of my favorite pseudo-legendaries, but it's solid enough, and Dragon/Ghost is a cool type combo. XIII_Rocks (7) - Probably the pseudo-legendary I have the least connection with, but it's a really great design. And I'm always a sucker for Pokemon that launch smaller Pokemon as weapons, like Rhyperior, and Dragapult does this with its own kids. Great. Bane_Of_Despair (11) - The pseudo-legendary of this generation, it's a good addition to them. Speedy ghost that shoots its own pre-evolved forms out of its head and they LOVE it, kinda ridiculous but in a good way. Also being Dragon/Ghost is cool, even if it does have a fair amount of weaknesses. Luster Soldier (11) - One of the better pseudo-legendary Pokemon in terms of design. I find it hilarious that Dragapult can fire off Dreepys when it attacks using Dragon Darts. Raka_Putra (15) - hyeah PrinceOfKoopas (43) - I should probably like Dragapult more than Drakloak (two Dreepy to shoot > one), but I find its competitive presence annoying. Johnbobb (71) - https://imgur.com/Pg2jk30 PrinceKaro (71) - I never could get past how stupid its head looks --- Born to bear and bring to all the details of our ending To write it down for all the world to see ...

1. Corviknight (#823)
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/8/1/AANp2HAAE86h.png Total Score: 682 Average Rank: 16 Standard Deviation: 15.363 Flying Rank: 1/5 Steel Rank: 1/5 Fully Evolved Rank: 1/61 Rankings: 2 - Bane_Of_Despair 2 - ecksgem 2 - KommunistKoala 2 - mnk 2 - MZero 2 - ScepterOfLove 2 - VeryInsane 3 - Bitto 3 - ctesjbuvf 3 - DireKrow 3 - Raka_Putra 4 - changmas 4 - red13n 5 - Anagram 5 - Ashethan 5 - hbthebattle 6 - Luster Soldier 7 - NFUN 7 - starfox 8 - andylt 8 - skulltrumpets 10 - xenosaga 11 - XIII_Rocks 12 - Brayze_II 14 - Ermine 15 - MoogleKupo141 15 - Steiner 16 - Cody11533 16 - OrangeCrush980 20 - Xuxon 21 - Inviso 21 - mcflubbin 26 - Eddv 26 - PrinceOfKoopas 30 - Mihark 32 - hotdogturtle 34 - TexWolf_1729 38 - Paratroopa1 42 - DragonGargoyle 45 - th3l3fty 47 - Johnbobb 53 - GameBopAdv 53 - PrinceKaro Comments: Bane_Of_Despair (2) - I think Corviknight was revealed fairly early on in the Sword/Shield previews (I could be wrong) and instantly he was a complete winner. A raven that looks like a knight is sick, and his typing is cool just like how Skarmory was cool. Skarmory flew so Corviknight could soar, I said it. Definitely the best bird region variant the series has had thus far. ctesjbuvf (3) - Best regional bird to date probably. Really good design, really fun to use, useful competitively too. Luster Soldier (6) - For a long time, I thought Staraptor and Talonflame had the best design for the fully evolved form of the early game bird Pokemon. Corviknight has managed to outdo both of them with its awesome design somehow. NFUN (7) - Very simple. Does it all set out to do and no more. Cool and classy andylt (8) - I like Corviknight a lot but I do think they overdid it a little with the edginess. Much like Talonflame before it, I wish they'd toned it down a tad. But it's still great, and I'll be shocked if it's not top 5. Inviso (21) - It's not a bad design, nor will I complain about Flying/Steel as a typing. Just wish it was stronger, to match how its typing makes it feel. PrinceOfKoopas (26) - I like how much lore and importance was placed on it. hotdogturtle (32) - It's genuinely humorous how good this Pokemon is and continues to be. To think that they used to make bird Pokemon bad on purpose... Paratroopa1 (38) - yeah, I guess its cool Johnbobb (47) - https://imgur.com/1Joi0OP --- Born to bear and bring to all the details of our ending To write it down for all the world to see ...

Fun project, I liked following the day-to-day stats. Probably could have ranked Dragapult and Falinks a bit higher. Kinda wild how in sync lefty and I were on Obstagoon and Toxtricity.

Toxtricity is a Pokemon that rests just shy of my top 100. Sometimes I look at it and go, "wow why didn't I rank this higher" and other times I go "yeah this giant space bat (my actual #100) is where it's at". Still, when there's over a thousand of these guys, that's still a compliment! Love the colour scheme, the aesthetic, the type combination ... I also love how it kind of has that gen 1 vibe of just being a weird animal, but it also still has strong design influences of the more recent gens. Sirfetch'd may be my number 20, but it is also another one of those Pokemon I place pretty highly. Holy cow there's over a thousand of these things! The idea of a Farfetch'd using its leek like a sword is a pretty novel one, I mean Cut was practically its signature move ... So I'm glad they expanded upon this idea and doubled down on it. Dragapult! Is my sixth favourite Pokemon of all time (though just my second favourite pseudo legend!) and boy is it just so great. I made a picture of it the lock screen of my phone like a year ago and I still smile whenever I look at it. A really cool design, but with a little bit of goofiness (it launches its CHILDREN say what!), and making a stealth bomber inspired Pokemon a ghost type is an extra layer of hilarity. I love though that it's also a doting parent too. Every single aspect of this Pokemon gives me so much joy. Corviknight ranks as my 49th favourite overall,which isn't bad for a winner if I do say so myself. Every single Pokemon in my top 50 gives me immense joy. I love crows and ravens so much. They're cool and clever fuckers, and making one a sleek knight of a bird fucking rocks. A solid design that doesn't overdo it at all. God, this guy fucking rocks and I'm perfectly happy with it as a winner. Really cool! I had a lot of fun with this! I'm pretty happy with this top five overall, even this top ten. I feel like if there weren't so many Pokemon, I could see most of these later entries being a favourite in another timeline. So surprised Grapploct and Centiskorch did so well and so happy about that too. Thank you Steiner for putting this together! Hopefully I'll be around when we do gen 9. Gholdengo gang assemble! ...

thanks guys i had a lot of fun with the spreadsheet! can i recommend if you didn't check it out, the pokemon compatibility tab has some pretty fun insights imoThanks for hosting this project again. It was fun. Gen 9 still has the 2nd part of the DLC coming up, so we should definitely wait for that to be released for a month or two at least. After that, I wouldn't mind doing Gen 9, but I'm guessing others would want to wait for Gen 10 to be announced in case there's another pseudo-spinoff game or whatever. Other things we could rank could be a Gen 1 redo (I'm fine with the original results being the official ones, but we can still do it for fun) or misc stuff that fell through the cracks (e.g. Gen 7 Pokemon after the original Sun/Moon, Galarian forms, Hisuian forms, Primal legendaries, other forme stuff, etc.) The latter probably doesn't have enough stuff to make that worthwhile though. --- "Those were my beans, Max." ...
