Your favorite non-animal Pokémon

[Okido]

Per the title, which Pokémon not based on real-world creatures — be they inanimate objects, abstract concepts, or otherwise — are your personal favorites?

Muk, Magnemite, Cryogonal, Yamask, and Claydol all rank high for me for various reasons, but I'll admit that Klefki holds the keys to my heart.

 

[Serverus Snope]

A lot of my favorites are like that. Reuniclus, Dusclops and Dusknoir, the Magnet family, the Regis, Gardevoir (who is still an ethereal semi-eldritch being no matter what the fanart tries to depict it as)...

 

[Welkamo]

Does Jigglypuff count? They're kind of just..... round. I love Jigglypuff.

Aside from that, I love the Litwick line. Everything from the colors to the concept is really cool.

 

[Serverus Snope]

And now that I think about it... this very thread's premise could be a theme for my trainersona's team: a team that looks less like a pack of animals and more like a menagerie of constructs and otherworldly beings (the spirit world included.)

 

[Bahamut]

Gengar and Reuniclus.

 

[Die-Hard Dragon Devotee]

If we're counting Human-Like Pokemon, Gardevoir. If not, then Aegislash.

Edit: Oh, also Deoxys. It's always been one of my favorites.

 

[Serverus Snope]

If we're counting Human-Like Pokemon, Gardevoir. If not, then Aegislash.

Gardevoir's still in the Amorphous egg group, mind you. It's easy to forget that.

 

[Zafie]

I don't often use many non-animal based Pokémon on my team. When I do though its either Gardevoir, Gallade or Metagross

 

[Die-Hard Dragon Devotee]

Gardevoir's still in the Amorphous egg group, mind you. It's easy to forget that.

Oh, I didn't forget. It's just that Gardevoir is quite Human-Like in its appearance too, as opposed to other Amorphous Pokemon, like Swalot and Muk.

1. Jirachi: Starboi is cute.
2. Reuniclus family: Very unique concept that looks cute and strong and has adorable preevos.
3. Hitmontop: I like his design, attitude and spinning motif.
4. Pineco: While it's based on a bagworm it doesn't have many "worm" attributes on its design so I'll count it. I think it looks like a grumpy old man.
5. Golett & Golurk: Partially humanoid but based on rocks at the end of the day. Great designs with nice colors.
6. Unown: Literally based on the power of words and speak, is very underrated.

Honorable mentions: Ditto, Magnemite, Regice, Castform, Deoxys, Chingling, Roggenrola, Floette, Stakataka, Kartana, Palossand, Guzzlord, Stonjouner, Falinks.

Most of my favorite pokemon are the non-animal ones, so this is hard for me. I guess I would have to say Claydol. I always thought it was really cool and mysterious.

Duskull line

Gastly line

 

[Arceusgjengen]

I love Grimer and Muk, especially, but not exclusively, their Alolan forms.

 

[voltdog]

Magnemite and Metagross for me. I find Magnemite cute in a weird way and I just think Metagross is cool.

 

[Camille]

Gengar - love its grin and high Speed and Special Attack.
Rotom - has a really cool and fun form gimmick, and I love the method of encountering it in the Sinnoh games.
Chandelure - creepy and has huge Special Attack stat.
Metagross - pretty unique for a pseudo-legendary and has a good movepool.
Darkrai - love its lore and high Special Attack and Speed.
I also quite like: Alcremie, Mismaguis, Golurk, Magnezone and Aegislash.

 

[Aulos]

My favorite Pokemon list is almost entirely animal-themed Pokemon. However, I do have a few that are not:

Unown
Litwick
Phantump

 

[Pikasso]

Metagross - Has a cool design and its shiny is one of my favorites.
Mismagius - Very spooky and it looks like a witch.
Gigalith - Its cooler than Golem and I like its shiny with the blue rocks.
Chandelure - Very spooky and has a unique typing.
Sandygast/Palossand - I like building sandcastles at the beach, and its Water Compaction ability is quite useful. Used it on my main team in Sun.

 

[Herbizarre]

Magnezone has always been a reliable Pokémon whenever I used it in the games.

In the past I used to like Dialga because of its Steel-typing, but nowadays I prefer Palkia's spatial abilities, as I feel the spatial stuff isn't nearly as explored as temporal abilities are.

 

[Silverwynde]

Golett and Golurk. My sweet robo-children. (Yes, I know they're based on golems but the moment I saw Golurk, I actually gasped out, "Is that a robot?")

 

[RTLfan]

Sandygast and Honedge.
