I've become much more interested in Dracovish after seeing the thread on Smogon's forum about it. Apparently, it can have the strongest Water-type move, Fishious Rend if it's boosted, in the game and can hit resisted 'mons pretty hard with it.

Per the thread:
252+ Atk Choice Band Strong Jaw Dracovish Fishious Rend (170 BP) vs. 252 HP / 24 Def Ferrothorn: 213-252 (60.5 - 71.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

till it meets a Dry skin, water absorb or storm drain user and boosts them instead. Risky.
But Revenge attackers need to fear it.
 
The more I look at Hatterene, the more I realize that its actual body is really, really tiny.

Like, it's more apparent in the Gigantamax form where it looks a tiny mecha pilot. But from some angles and in the fainting animation, it's the same thing in in the basic form too. It's just less noticeable since she's more covered up.

On another note, it took me forever to realize that Appletun's floppy ears were actually its eyes.

Yes, I'm aware. I suppose "melt" isn't the right term.
Like how Muk flattens out into a puddle when it faints.
Destabilize.
 
It's living milk, though. It's not exactly ice cream or something that could melt. It's more like a milk Homunculus then anything else.

Which I guess a homuculus is something that could also melt, but still.

I believe the technical term here is splish
 
Ah Alcremie is SO ADORABLE. I really enjoyed playing with it in Camp and its actually strong too!
This form is my favorite <3

Other faves includes G.Ponyta and Rapidash of course, Hattena Line, Snom Line, G.Corsola Line, Wooloo, Indeedee, Appletun, Polteagist Line, Zacian, Shiny Gossifluer/Eldegoss.

Also, I can't believe G.Rapidash is actually a lot prettier in its official artwork. The game made it face look... not as cute.

I didn't notice until rebattling Leon that Dragapult's tail sort of fades out into transparency. That's a really cool effect.
 
I'm really liking Dragapult and its whole evolutionary line, as well as Appletun. The thing is that this might be the first generation of Pokemon where I don't love any of the generic 'cute' Pokemon. In every other generation I had at least one favorite cute Pokemon, but none of them stands out to me. :/
