Current Events > Best Pokemon Tournament: Round 9

(+) Yeah! (+)

Here we go! After four months of preliminaries, we've narrowed it down to our final 128 -- now to narrow it down to the single best Pokemon.

You all know how this works, I've run enough of these damn tournaments. Vote for your favorite of the two Pokemon presented; the winner will move on in the bracket, the loser gets to stay in a PC Box for all eternity.

Rounds last 24 hours, give or take; sometimes I'm not always at my computer right on time, or have to post the next one a little early so I can move on to other parts of my day. It might also happen that I'm not able to post the next round on time at all, but I'll at least end the poll if I'm able to in that case.

If there's a tie that refuses to break, it will be decided with a quick Lightning Round. I'll go over what that entails if and when it comes up.

Round nine! Hydreigon vs. Leafeon!

I know he won't win but I voted for Leafeon

I think all the Eeveelutions are rather overrated. Leafeon is one of the cooler ones, but it's nothing compared to Hydreigon.

Leafeon is fine but Hydra Dragon is way cooler of a concept.

I wouldn't normally vote for an edgy Pokmon, but the post-Gen 2 Eeveelutions are a bit fussy after the sleek restraint of Umbreon and Espeon.

A legitimate three-headed dragon would have been cool, but instead its basically just a regular dragon with two glorified arms.

Meanwhile Ive always liked plant-animal hybrids.

Leafeon is cool, but I love Hydreigon. Three headed dark dragon, hell yeah. All it needs is a mega evolution where the other heads are fully developed.

Also shiny Leafeon should have had autumnal colors.

Hydreigon

I agree, with the exception of Umbreon. Specifically shiny Umbreon

Yeah Umbreon is probably the best of them.

Leafeon is my favorite Eeveelution so it gets my vote. I do like Hydreigon too though.

leafeon is so cute!!!

Not a big fan of Hydreigon, but he's better than the abomination called Leafeon.

Hydreigon just isn't my style, so I am voting against it despite it probably being the more interesting of the two. I love the idea of the heads mauling each other; it's Dodrio on steroids, inebriated. But, as recently discussed, Hydreigon is not the only hydra in town anymore...

Hydrapple >>>>>>>>> Hydreigon

Unfortunately, it's up against another Eeveelution (and one of the most popular ones too) in its first-round battle later on in the Northeast bracket, so I don't know if it'll do much in this tournament.

Hydreigon, one of my favorite Pokemon of all time.

Easy choice here.

Leafeon. Hydreigon looks like a muppet champion stage digimon, very disappointed with its design.

Morning bump

Deltamon iirc

Noon bump

C'mon Leafeon fans!

Hydreigon is my jam!!! Look at that freak! XD

Hydreigon was one of the first (maybe the first) Pokemon I ever bred to any level of competitive viability! (It had perfect SPD and good SPATK, which was enough for me at the time~) I gotta give it a vote here~

Afternoon bump

Leafeon for me but i like both so am fine with Hydreigon looking to be the winner.

I was too busy to post the next round yesterday, but I can at least close the poll and officially name Hydreigon as the winner for this round. Also bumping to avoid the risk of the purge getting a little too eager.
