Zoroark, Gardevoir, Lucario, and the Eeveelutions are Pokemon that have fan appeal in the SFW sphere, are considered "attractive" in a general scenes and are also sexualized. For me I see Smash or Pass as a general test on how a Pokemon may be considered "attractive" in general especially since the big smash or pass results were done in general sites, one done in a general porn site and another done in a website meant to attract more normal people. There's also tier maker which results more or less line up with Smash or Pass results. On that front I really wish e621 had done a version of it because that would be valuable data for the reception towards Pokemon and the impact of the NSFW sphere.
But yes, being popular in the NSFW sphere doesn't generally translate into having broad general popularity among fans outside of that context. Lopunny is the perfect example because in the NSFW sphere it sits pretty close to Gardevoir in popularity but definitely not in the SFW sphere. Lucario and Gardevoir share similar popularity in a general fan context and in the NSFW sphere are only apart by small margins, the eeveelutions dominate in either spheres. Meowscarada has the makings of being up there with the "elite" since it appears to have good general popularity and a lot of NSFW art work created in a short span of time, sadly it came to late for the Smash or Pass craze but giving it's reception it would be up there in the top 10 and possibly even top 5.
