This list does sorta give a faulty impression. Empoleon and Torterra are both in my Top 3 mons of their type, it's just that I like infernape more.
Gen 6 and 7 were the hardest to rank.
Greninja and Delphox are more or less tied, so I had to consider the rest of the line, and I prefer the foxes over the frogs.
Likewise, I like all three Gen 7 final forms(wasn't too huge on Incineroar but damn did playing him in Smash sell me on him) so it comes down to their other forms, and I just don't like Popplio and Brionne to much, while I really like Litten and have a fondness for the owls.
Gen 8 is very much open to change(especially since I've judged every other line primarily on the final stage).
Water is overall the best, Grass is pretty consistently good and Fire is all peaks and valleys.
