>>51359646Gardevoir is probably first because of the reputation it got, similarly why Vaporeon is the most ranked eeveelution because of the vaporeon meme. In comparison here's Lopunny, both Gardevoir and Lopunny are pretty much down to the wire in smash percent and this is the same gap in
rule34.xxx. If Lopunny had been in gen 3 and Gardevoir in 4 their roles would've switched. Anyways I'm not saying it isn't a factor but based off this data it is miniscule and not worth mentioning. Vaporeon is only 3% away from beating Zoroark in 3rd. The fact is that most people don't care that much about how humanoid a Pokémon is otherwise you wouldn't see Meloetta and Hatterene below Glaceon, Sylveon, Primarina and Ninetales or all the Pokémon exclusive to the human egg group have subpar smash percents at about 50% or less.
