My favourite Gen 7 Pokémon

I’m a fan of quite a few of the new Pokémon from Sun/Moon and Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon. While these haven’t been the best games in the series for me, I’ve still enjoyed playing through and catching some of the new Alola Pokémon.

Pokémon	Sprite	Reason
Decidueye		I didn't fall in love with Decidueye until Park Se-jun built a team with it in Sword and Shield and then I discovered the shiny. Beautiful and a great inspiration story.
Incineroar		I intially hated Incineroar because of VGC. It was everywhere and people kept swapping it in and out and that killed the enjoyment of matches for me. Then I started using it myself and did the same thing so I'm a hypocrite. Now I love it in Scarlet and Violet as it's still OP but that switch in/out style isn't as prevalent.
Toucannon		It's a toucan with a beautiful beak and the shiny is so colourful (Bi Visibility!). I also like its signature move, Beak Blast.
Charjabug		It's like a little bug loaf, all rectangular and rounded at the edges.
Vikavolt		I used one in my Ultra Sun playthrough and, despite the lack of speed, it packs a punch and the design is awesome.
Salazzle		I don't know how to explain it but Salazzle makes me think of Teyana Taylor. It's the stance and the sleek movement and design. And, hello, Fire type!
Passimian		QUARTERBACK SNEAK!
Golisopod		What if a giant isopod was like a samurai transformer?
Palossand		A haunted sand castle with a creepy Pokédex entry: The terrifying Palossand drags smaller Pokémon into its sandy body. Once its victims are trapped, it drains them of their vitality whenever it pleases.
Mimikyu		More creepiness hidden behind cuteness. Had some great moments in VGC too.
Drampa		Literally a dragon grandpa, what's not to love?
Kommo-o		Cool design, great stats, and really powerful.
Tapu Koko		Fast and energetic, like an electric chicken. I used one in Sword and Shield as my electric terrain setter and it packed a punch.
Tapu Lele		Pink and cute, sadly never got to use it but I like it.
Tapu Fini		My favourite Tapu. So bulky and versatile, I miss it :(
Solgaleo		My glorious lion. I love it so much. It hits hard and it's Steel type so it takes huge damage too. I love a majestic lion Pokémon.
Lunala		I grew attached to Lunala after trying to catch it in a Moon Ball. It's a giant moon bat and it has a lot of cool techs.
Xurkitree		Just a bunch of sentient wires. Haters gon' hate but I like it.
Guzzlord		Big and ugly, a huge 223 base HP, and it's officially the Junkivore Pokémon.
Blacephalon		The spinning head always makes me laugh and its tendency to just explode. Here for a good time, not a long time.
Zeraora		Another Alolan kitty. I have a shiny one which is my prized possession but I love the original yellow form. From a VGC perspective, it's a shame that Zeraora is a Mythical as it's only been legal once (at the end of Sword and Shield). With an Assault Vest and the right EVs, it has the capacity to be good.
