3 absolutely nailed it with the trio, and Deoxys is possible the best-designed Pokémon there's ever been. Jirachi's also my favorite base-100 mythical, it's got a badass typing and moveset and an alien or spiritual look to him, looking truly like some legendary spirit. And Latios and Latias don't look like any animal in particular while still looking organic and absolutely sick, which I admire in any Pokemon design.
My heart wants to put Gen4 in second but really only Arceus and Giratina are exemplary, and every Gen2 legend is above average, probably with the best trio, which somehow still falls underrated beneath Gen1's flaming rubber chicken and Zapdos, which is cool in concept but anatomy is just fucked up, neither of which even drawn as detailed as the Pidgey line.
