'Evening /vp/, what's your most surprising newly loved Pokemon? The one you never used until you were forced to or accidentally used, or decided to try for a change of pace that then made you love it? For me, it was ferroseed. Never liked how slow the walls were, then got one on a Nuzlocke in B/W and always use it when I get the chance. Unbreachable Wall Of Thorns. And if you're willing to help a guy on a 'locke: currently on a wonderlocke on ORAS and need your advice for a FUN league team. Current lineup:>Hydreigon >Victini GTS'd with a wonderlocked Mon because I love Victinis >Espeon >Sceptile I can never bring myself to trade my starter >Chandelure >Ferrothorn Pool to draw from: Tauros, Mightyena, Frillish, Klefki, Fletchling, Mareep, Shuckle, Pidgeotto, Bulbasaur, Dratini, Vullaby, Kyogre, Latias. Advìce?

>>25254307 Maybe not love, but my Y run and
SylvXHydra fanart made me start to appreciate Sylveon. It's probably my favorite Eeverlution atm.
Also seconding Beedrill
>>25254641 except I used mine in Y. Glad he got a well deserved Mega.

>>25254641 >Beedrill Due to moves, typing, or..?
I do love Beedrill though >>25254682 Sylveon is an adorable monster, but I have to have an Espeon or Umbreon on my team, if I'm having an eeveelution.
Umbreon just can't die.

Using a farfetchd on my current hg run and loving it. I would go with klefki, op.

I never cared for Relicanth (I generally find Pokémon that cannot evolve pretty boring) until I used one for laughs on showdown>STAB Rock Head Head Smash hits like a truck >way bulkier that I expected >Yawn creates panic and forces switches I immediatly went to breed one, what a fun Pokémon

Altaria. I remember back in the day when playing Sapphire, I got really excited to find out Swablu evolved into a dragon. I trained and trained one, and I think it didn't even make it to the E4 because it sucked so much ass. That made me drop it into oblivion for the next three generations. Then ORAS came out, and that fucking awesome mega, that God tier new typing, that newfound usability... I was in love again. It was a joy to use it during my playthrough, and I really love Altaria now.

OP here. The list seems so far to be:>Beedrill [potential mega] >Sylveon >Farfetch'd [wish it had a mega] >Relicanth >Klefki >Altaria [potential mega] >Numel (?) How's the team looking? Anyone need changed/added? I'll check back in a while, thanks for all the help and responses /vp/! I love hearing how surprisingly awesome the underutilised guys are. Still waiting on Luvdisc though

I had a Taurus in a Nuzlocke a while back who was baller as fuck, took him all the way to the league and won. He took hits like an absolute tank, nothing could put a dent in him. Still remember his name, Griskus.
Fast forward to now and I was ecstatic as fuck when I got this guy in my current Egglocke. Definitely filling in the shoes of my old Tauros and I'm loving every second of it. Both Pokemon are great.

I thought Chespin's line was kinda dumb 'till I used one on a replay of X and now it's my favourite starter. The kinda goofy designs of the first two stages grew on me and Chesnaught is a fucking bro.
