>>55152417>Slither WingVolcarona was already pretty popular and SW is a big fluffy cool-looking version of that, first time Volc participates in a gen gimmick so fans and artists were pretty stoked
>Flutter ManeMisdreavus is a popular halloween mon and nostalgic Johto mon for a lot of people, it came back as an absolute monster in competitive so it makes sense to be here
>Iron ValiantGardevoir plus Gallade is enough of a selling point to make it one of the most popular pokemon this generation, the robot theme acts like a bonus
>Scream TailKantomon again appearing in a generational gimmick, isn't rated higher because it barely appears, no anime shilling and sucks in competitive, honestly biggest miss out of the Ancient Paradox mons
>Roaring MoonHonestly surprised it isn't rated higher, maybe because it fell really hard in competitive and isn't as easy to draw like it's counterparts, some just really want Megas back
