Tell us what you think of the Pokemon above....

[Dubious Disc]

One of my favorite Ultra Beasts. I like its electric-wiring design (and how it doesn't have a face), and it's got a cool-sounding name too.

Kartana

 

[Orchid]

Not a UB that I tend to think about as often as the rest, but still just as cool; it has a great type combo and I appreciate it a lot. Fun fact that I love about Kartana's design — its X-shaped face/"mouth" is based on the origami shape pakupaku (well-known in English as a "chatterbox" or "paper fortune teller").

Spoiler

("pakupaku" is also onomatopoeia for eating!)

Celesteela

 

[Chidamari Sketch]

Celesteela is one of my favorite Ultra Beasts. When it was released, I pretty much figured out near-immediately it was a nod to the "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter/The Tale of Princess Kaguya" fairy tale of Japan, and I gotta say, they managed to deliver on that theme with splendor, from those imposing bamboo rocketry, to the main body giving the visage of a towering alien regent without looking that much humanoid/"waifumon"-ish despite both the presence of 'hair' and a 'dress/cloak'. I also got to appreciate that, like Xurkitree, it's another creature evocative of plants without outright bluntly being a plant by virtue of the bamboo thematics, right down to actually being one of the few non-Grass Pokemon to learn Leech Seed!

Buzzwole.

 

[Sheeer]

Eh... It's funny, but nothing I really think about that much

Pheromosa

 

[toastghost]

it's.. fine? i think out of all the ultra beasts its the weakest design. I think it looks interesting, I'm not sure why it's fighting type but more power to it i guess

nihilego

 

[R.O.B.]

Really cool name, just above average design.

Natu

 

[AgedVeteranofShow]

Actually not bad, cool design for a Psychic bird type in Gen II debuting.

Wailord

 

[montrovy]

Big!!! I've never gotten a chance to use them in game but they seem fun enough - though some more recent games have trouble actually scaling it in battle which is a shame. That's like it's main thing

Escavalier

 

[toastghost]

i find the whole gimmick with accelgor pretty neat, and i like its design

accelgor

 

[Chidamari Sketch]

Yeah, this one's the creature I prefer out of this unique trade gimmick. I've always liked this mollusk that embodies race-car drivers, ninjutsu, and Sentai superheroes; which is probably an utterly incoherent mess in any other context, but Pokemon is generally a franchise where seemingly random tropes are intricately knitted to make a cohesive yet unique character; this graceful gastropod being no exception. Out of every Pokemon that's meant to be invocative of ninja, this one's my favorite.

Regidrago

 

[DigitalGen6]

It looks great! Cool color scheme and now we have like six (or seven) Regis now!

Arceus

 

[toastghost]

it's fine, i'm not sure why the god of pokemon is native to sinnoh out of all places, and i do think its design is kind of a mess (but then again most of the sinnoh legendaries have messy designs)

frosmoth

 

[R.O.B.]

Cool to many, cute to me.

Flygon

 

[AgedVeteranofShow]

Awesome, epic, and unique typing for the time as well.

Salamence

 

[DigitalGen6]

One of the best pseudo Legendaries ever (I don’t have one but now I need one) especially since it can mega evolve

Oshawott

 

[Chidamari Sketch]

To be honest, the fact that this thing had such backlash back when it was first revealed/leaked is audacious, and the fact that the similarly mammalian Popplio a few generations later also became the target of a virulent hatedom just gives me a bit of a suspicion that this fandom has an oddly specific vendetta towards marine mammals for whatever reason.

Golisopod

 

[DigitalGen6]

This Pokémon is okay I guess

Gardevoir

 

[Sheeer]

I respect it. I don't necessarily adore it like some do, but I 100% get why it's such a fan favorite.

Klawf

 

[DigitalGen6]

I like it (I call it the evolved form of Kingler)

Dragonite

 

[toastghost]

bad.
