Based taste OP
For me its Basculegion, I fell off pokemon with Sun but for some reason despite having negative affection for Sinnoh something about PLA really spoke to me and seeing how cool basculegion was is the closest thing i've had to the feeling seeing Suicune [my actual favourite pokemon] in the crystal commercials as a kid that first got me really into the series and now i'm happily back revisiting/experiencing stuff I missed and exploring way more of the franchise than i ever did as a kid
there's a few others I can name but they're more the specific mons I used in a playthrough and transferred up across games [sigilyph, haxorus, sharpedo to name a few] but this big dumb fish gives me fuzzies
