My favorite Pokémon has always been Alakazam. I have a couple with ribbons; Spoonman, Spoonqueen, Razzmataz, and the shiny Alaka-blam. They move fast, hit hard, and have a legacy of great move sets. Dig. Thunder Punch. Focus Blast. Dazzling Gleam. Shadow Ball. Truly unhinged strategies.
I’d like to take time to remember my Luchador Cosplay Pikachu, Thunderbutt, who couldn’t be transferred into Pokémon Bank, nor Pokémon Home, and is the only 'mon of consequence I’ve ever been forced to leave behind.
Shout outs to my workhorse ‘mons Quacklin’ and Dux, my False Swipe / HM slaves. Also Eggers, my Flame Body Talonflame, who really makes hatching eggs easier.
Steven’s Shiny Metagross from that distribution event lives in my battle party.
The entire Klinklang line.
✔️ Stupid, lazy poké-object design
✔️ 3 stage evolution that starts at level 38
✔️ Best learned moves don’t get STAB
✔️ Ability useless without a complimentary doubles partner
