Ambipom is my favorite Pokemon.
I'm a big fan of underdog Pokemon; Pokemon that most people hate or overlook or just get a bad rap in general. My second favorite is Swalot.
It started in gen4. Back then I was doing another routine replay of - I think it was Platinum - and I was scouring the pokedex for mons that I haven't used or almost never use for whatever reason. One of the Pokemon I chose was Ambipom, and at the time I didn't have any high expectations. By stroke of luck, my Ambipom's ability was Technitian. I had happened to breed Aipom with Meowth (or something) and so it also knew Fake-Out.
It was then, dear, dear anons, that I saw just about every pokemon in the game that doesn't resist normal fall to two to three attacks. I was getting free first turns every fight that were dealing 25-30% of enemy health. I went to the internet to expand my understanding and over the years have found several gimmicky, fun movesets for Ambipom, but nothing will trump STAB-Technician-Fake-Out in my heart. It's a revenge finisher and a fantastic lead when paired with U-Turn. It is fast, it hits reasonably hard, and it is a happy, fun-loving Pokemon that probably doesn't sweat the small stuff and probably just wants to hang out and play vidya with you.
