Meowscarada by a mile. They actually tried to give the starters all good tools (dual typing, strong signatures, great abilities) but Meowscarada feels like they tried to give it the best stuff even if it falls off a bit.
>Protean, like Greninja and Cinderace. It might’ve gotten nerfed but if they wanted Meowscarada to be seen as lesser than those two shillmons they could’ve just given it a new, nerfed Protean clone.
>Flower Trick is actually more busted than Torch Song and Aqua Step because it always crits and can never miss.
>One of the few Dark types to get Knock Off in Gen 9.
>It’s very obviously the “cool design”. It’s somewhat feminine but not overtly so, so it can appeal to boys and girls. Fuecoco is the “for boys” design and Quaxly is the “for girls” design (which is either overtly feminine like Delphox or Primarina or fujobait like Inteleon).
Also it’s Dark-type, like Greninja (who was shilled by GF and the fanbase) and Incineroar (who was shilled by GF and the fanbase sort of came around to it as time passed).
