- Greetings Pokefans, Michael here and over
my seven or so years of being a Pokemon YouTuber,
I've made a lot of videos ranking my favorite Pokemon. I've done my top
10 favorites twice. I've done my favorite
of every type twice and a booty load of
other types of rankings, but I've never done a
ranking as ambitious as the one I'm doing today, I will be revealing my
top 100 favorite Pokemon. As of right now, it changes as the years go by
because I have new experiences and new games come
out and all that jazz. I figured out this
ranking by using the Favorite Pokemon Picker, a valuable tool I stumbled
upon a few years ago that's remained up to date. You can use it as
long as you want. So I just kept picking
Pokemon until I reached 100. It took many hours, because of that I'm not going to be
scripting any explanations for why I like any
of these Pokemon. I think it has more potential
to be entertaining and funny if I just have to come up
with why I liked the Pokemon off the top of my head. So don't forget to subscribe
to my channel since apparently 60% of the people who watch
my videos are not subscribed, which saddens me greatly and
let's dive into my top 100, hold on. Security alert? What does this have to say? What? My personal information
has been stolen. - Hah hah, it was me. Your personal
information is now mine. - Team Rocket. - Actually, I prefer to go
by my given name, Grunty Boi. - Okay, Grunty Boi. How were you able to do this? - You didn't have ExpressVPN, the sponsor who has paid
for and approved this video. - Oh of course. This must have happened when I was using that
public wifi network. Without a VPN, my
personal information was easily accessible by jerks. - Hey, there's no
need to be rude. - You stole from me. - Yeah, but I didn't
do any name calling. - This is just, this is too much. I'm stressed out. I need to relax and I'm going to do that by watching some classic Studio
Ghibli movies on Netflix. Ponyo is my jam. Just pull that up
right here and they are not available in my country. - Ah, yeah. You know, ExpressVPN can
actually help with that too. With just a few clicks, you
can unlock blocked content, not available in your country and there's a lot more out
there than you might expect. - Wow, that's incredible. I really do need
to get ExpressVPN. Is it easy to use? - Oh yeah, open it up. Click, connect,
boom, good to go. - All right, I'm convinced. I want my private
information to stay private. How do I get it? - You and your viewers can
head to expressvpn.com/mandjtv for three whole months free. The link is in the
description below. - Perfect. Wait, why are you helping me? - Just spreading the word
about a very valuable service and also because I already have your personal information, tata. - No, Grunty Boi! Dang it. Well anyways, thanks so much to ExpressVPN
for sponsoring the video, but now let's dive into my
top 100 favorite Pokemon. Number 100 is Shaymin Sky. I have no personal
attachment to this Pokemon, but I think it
looks pretty cool. I like its scarf
and face and stuff. Number 99 is Poipole. It was the first ultra
beast to be revealed that was actually good
looking and I think it's cute. So I like it. Number 98 is Grotle. I think it's a very solid
looking middle evolution that doesn't really look awkward like a lot of middle evolutions. Number 97 is Ultra Necrozma. It is an insane light dragon that was very frustrating
to battle, but I mean, it looks cool. Number 96 is Forretress. I am not really sure
why I like this Pokemon. I mean, it's kind
of cool looking. I think I liked how in the
anime it would close up into a ball and like spin and hit really hard
with rapid spin and then you use rapid
spin in the games and it's not anywhere
nearly as cool or as good but I still ended up
liking Forretress. Number 95 is Raboot. I love how it's kind of like
a ninja, hoodie wearing, teenage cute rabbit thing. Number 94 is Heliolisk. I love me a cool lizard and
Heliolisk is a cool lizard. Number 93 is a Araquanid. I thought it looked
cool from the start, but I gained some extra
sentimental attachment to it, due to using it on my team in my original Sun playthrough. Number 92 is Heracross. Always been a very solid
looking bug Pokemon and hits like an absolute truck. Number 91 is Magmortar. Magmortar, most of it is
kind of weird looking, but it has cannons for arms. Come on guys. It's got cannons for arms. Number 90 is Druddigon. I know Druddigon is a
pretty unpopular Pokemon, but I really like lizards
and I really like dragons and I think Druddigon
looks pretty solid. It's bright colored spiky
face, I think looks cool. Number 89 is Galarian Corsola. Galarian Corsola took a
Pokemon that I couldn't give two tiny poops about
and turned it into a really creative ghost Pokemon. I would argue it's one
of the most creative, regional variants out there
because it's inspired by something in real life
like white, dead coral. So care about climate change
people, Galarian Corsola, it's making PSAs and
I appreciate that. Number 88 is Copperajah. I haven't had a chance
to use Copperajah on a playthrough team yet, but
elephants are great animals and Copperajah is just really
colorful and cool looking and I like it. Number 87 is Yanmega. Yanma, kind of boring, but Yanmega, very scary
looking and very cool. Number 86 is Palossand. I love the idea of a
haunted sand castle and I also got sentimental
attachment to it due to using it on my Sun team. It's nickname was the Mountain because it started
out as a Sandygast, which looks just like
a little molehill, makes a mountain
out of molehill. It was fun. Number 85 is Zekrom. It looks like a fearsome
big dinosaur dragon that's blue and black, which
is a really cool color scheme and it's an electric type. So Zekrom, pretty solid Pokemon. Number 84 is Pichu because it is just
flat out adorable, much more cute than Pikachu and I would argue one of the
cutest baby Pokemon out there. It's got a big head,
like that works for me. Number 83 is Nidoking, a classic really
cool gen one Pokemon that is very good at a
lot of different things. I respect it. Number 82 is Latios. Latios, very cool Pokemon from
the very first Pokemon game I ever played, it's Blue. Blue is my favorite color. It's a jet, jets are cool. Latios, cool Pokemon. Number 81 is Quilava. Another middle evolution
that does not look awkward and looks very cool. I like how it has fire
in two different places and that just makes
it more unique. Number 80 is Toxapex. I love the design
inspiration behind it and I also got to use
one on my Ultra Sun team that did really well. So that made me get
attached to it too. Number 79 is Ampharos. It is a classic of
Johto playthroughs and I've used one in most
of my Johto playthroughs because it is strong and
cute while also looking cool. Number 78 is Shuppet. Shuppet just has that body
shape that I think is very cute, a big head and a tiny body
and or no body at all. It's just a cute Pokemon. Number 77 is Aggron. In the paraphrased
words of Pokemon Seven, it's a big metal dinosaur. What's not to like. Number 76 is Alolan Sandslash. I always thought
Sandslash regular was kind of on the
more boring side, but Alolan Sandslash now has
ice spikes and metal claws. It's just more interesting. Number 75 is Hitmontop. I was really obsessed
with Hitmontop as a kid for some reason, and I'm not as obsessed
with it anymore, but I do still kind of like it due to my fond memories of
liking it so much as a kid. I think it's just fun that it
spins on its head to fight. Like that's really unique. Number 74 is Braviary. It's a really awesome
strong looking eagle with an awesome shiny. Number 73 is Dragapult. Dragapult is a cannon
fighter jet dragon that I used in Sword
and is crazy strong. So yeah, I like it. Number 72 is Lugia. Lugia is a classic legendary
who I think is really cool. I would like it more if it
wasn't weirdly a psychic type that like barely learned
any psychic type moves. Number 71 is Arcanine. One of the classic gen one
Pokemon, very well designed. Very cool, very strong,
likable all around. Number 70 is
Gigantamax Sandaconda I like this Pokemon
for two reasons. The first is that it
was very nice to me when it was part
of the event raids. I did not fail to
catch a single one and secondly, I think the
design is really creative. A coiled snake that
is simultaneously
said coiled snake, but also a dust tornado, or
as I call them, Dust Devils. Number 69 is Sawsbuck. Sawsbuck is a very
well-designed Pokemon and its design I think
is really interesting. I hope we see seasons
make a return soon because I want to use a
Sawsbuck and have it change. Number 68 is Blastoise. Blastoise was the first
Kanto starter I ever used, and it's just a really
solid looking Pokemon. Number 67 is the Lapras, another gen one classic Pokemon
that I've used several times with great success. It's just cute while also
looking strong and imposing. Number 66 is Seedot. Seedot is a very cute Pokemon. Little acorn with little
black eyes, I don't know. I just have always
thought it was very cute. Number 65 is Charizard. I don't like Charizard
as much now as I used to because it's excessive
special treatment has started to wear on me but I did have a lot of
fun using Mega Charizard X in my X version. So I like it mainly
due to those memories. Number 64 is Scolipede. Another really cool
bug type Pokemon. I have an extra appreciation
for bug type Pokemon that are not weak
and are not ugly because that's hard
to achieve at times. Number 63 is Toxtricity, and I prefer the Amped
Form over the Lowkey Form. It looks kind of like a
lizard and I like lizards plus the electric Mohawk
is just really creative and electric poison was a typing that I'd been wanting
to see for a while. Combine all that with the
fact that I used one on my Sword playthrough team and
it kicked a lot of butt and you've got a Pokemon
I'm going to like. Number 62 is Ho-Oh. My affinity for Ho-Oh
has grown in recent years just because I think
it's so majestic and it also has an
incredible shiny, I think my favorite
shiny legendary. Number 61 is Gyarados, yet another classic
gen one Pokemon that's very strong,
that I've gotten to use on a few different occasions
and had a lot of fun with. Plus it's just one of the
coolest design aspects ever. The weakest Pokemon to a
crazy strong sea serpent. Like that's just fun. Number 60 is Groudon. Groudon was the first
legendary Pokemon that I ever captured in my
first playthrough of Ruby. So I have some attachment
to it due to that. Number 59 is Typhlosion,
my favorite Johto starter. Just really cool, powerful. It gets angry and fire
explodes from its neck. It looks very solid,
I like it a lot. Number 58 is Decidueye and
it's my favorite Alola starter. It's a hooded Archer, which is cool by default. That's why those
superheroes exist. Plus it's an owl and
I really like owls 'cause they were
my college mascot. Decidueye, fantastic Pokemon. Number 57 is Seviper. I really like reptiles
and lizards and snakes and Seviper I think is
the coolest snake Pokemon. I love the uneven patterns
and markings on its body. Number 56 is Grovyle, the middle evolution for
my favorite starter line. It's very cool. The long leaf hair looks
awesome and I just, I love it. Number 55 is Runerigus. I like it a lot more
than Cofagrigus, especially because it's markings
on the head possessed part, make it look like it's a kind
of weird dragon, which I love. Number 54 is Alolan Muk. They took Muk, a pretty
boring Pokemon in my opinion, and made it colorful and bright
and a lot better in battle. So I like it a lot
because of that. I've never had the chance
to use one on a team, but I absolutely want to. Number 53 is Scyther. It is a bug type, but
I've always liked it because it honestly, it looks
more like a lizard than a bug, mainly due to its face 'cause its body
is very bug like, but its face looks like it
could be a lizard's face and as I've said,
I like lizards. Do you have lizards that
show up in your backyard? Little lizards, those
are my favorite thing. Number 52 is Minior, specifically when it's
Shields Down form. It's extremely cute. I love that it comes
in a variety of colors and it's shiny is
just impeccable. Number 51 is Krookodile, or as I like to say, Krookodile, it's a menacing powerful reptile that I used on my first
ever playthrough of White and I just think it
looks really awesome. Number 50 is Salamence, another
reptilian Pokemon this time, a powerful, imposing dragon
from my original region Hoenn. So I really like it. Number 49 is Aegislash. I love how they took a seemingly
bad design concept of it. It's just a Sword, yet made
it really cool and creative. I also had a lot of success
using it in competitive battling and in the Battle
Maison back in gen six. So I got attached to
it because of that. The one I had was a gift
from my friend Pierce called Eggyslash. Number 48 is Infernape. Infernape has grown on
me a lot more recently. It wasn't my original
Sinnoh starter, but I've used it in more
recent Sinnoh playthroughs and it's kicked a lot of butt and I've had a lot
of fun with it. Number 47 is Torkoal. I love reptiles and
Torkoal is a turtle that I've always thought
was really cute and cool. I love that it's gotten more
attention in recent years since it getting
drought has made it a much better
competitive Pokemon. Number 46 is Giratina. The main reason I developed
an affinity for Giratina, is how incredible mine was in the Metronome Nuzlocke
Pokemon Seven and I did several years ago. We did another one more
recently this year, but I didn't get a
Giratina in that one. I just got a whole lot
of other legendaries. Number 45 is Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur, very cute Pokemon, a classic gen one starter and I grew to like it more
due to making Pokemon Talk. Number 44 is Gengar, the defacto classic
gen one ghost type. What's not to like. It's scary without
being disturbing and it's really fast
and hits really hard, which is definitely
my battle style. Number 43 is Golisopod. Golisopod is just this really
fearsome looking Pokemon with a really cool design and I really love it's shiny. I haven't had a
chance to use one yet, but I would like to. Number 42 is Lycanroc, specifically the Midday Form because that was the
type of Lycanroc I used on my Sun playthrough. It's a really nice looking
wolf Pokemon, which is awesome and like I said, I used it. So I got attached to it. Number 41 is Jolteon, not
my favorite Eeveelution, but it's my second favorite. It looks really cool. I love the spikes and I
love the electric type. Number 40 is Garchomp. Garchomp is like the
most famously terrifying destructive Pokemon out there. So of course I used it. Like I did with Aegislash, I used Garchomp in my gen
six competitive VGC Stage and got a 50 streak
in the Battle Maison using a Garchomp on my team. So I really like
it because of that 'cause that was awesome. Number 39 is Treecko who I love. It's a lizard. It's the first starter
Pokemon I ever picked. It's wonderful. I sometimes find
myself wondering, did I pick Treecko as
my first ever starter because I liked reptiles,
specifically lizards or do I like reptiles,
specifically lizards, because I picked Treecko? Number 38 is Swampert. I love all of the Hoenn starters and Swampert is
definitely included. It's extremely strong. I've used it several times and it's just a
fun Pokemon to use. Number 37 is Archeops, which was my favorite fossil
Pokemon for quite some time. I love that it's basically
a feathered Raptor and Raptors are cool, and if you can keep it healthy,
it is extremely powerful, which I was able to
do most of the time when I used one
on my White team. Number 36 is Flygon, a really cool and unique
dragon that I've liked ever since I was little. Number 35 is Tropius. Long necked dinosaurs,
specifically the Apatosaurus, have been my favorite
type of dinosaur ever since I was a kid. So of course I gravitated
to Tropius immediately. The fact that it's
covered in leaves, which is cool and
it can frickin fly is just icing on the cake. Number 34 is Zen Mode
Galarian Darmanitan. I have wanted a fire and ice
type Pokemon for many years and this Pokemon finally
delivered it to me with a really unique design. An on fire snowball,
that's dope. Number 33 is Gallade, a
really cool, powerful Pokemon that I've always liked
ever since I was a kid. Number 32 is Squirtle, which I liked for the
same reasons as Bulbasaur, just a bit more. Squirtle was my favorite Pokemon prior to me learning about
the existence of Treecko and I also love the character
Squirtle in Pokemon talk. Number 31 is Dracovish, my
favorite fossil Pokemon. I love the Gen Eight fossils because the design
idea is brilliant and I'm glad there's
finally fossil Pokemon that don't have
to be rock types. Dracovish is my
favorite one because it's kind of insane looking, but also insanely powerful,
which is just fun. Number 30 is Clobbopus. Once again, a big round
head and a little body results in just an
extremely adorable Pokemon. Number 29 is Crobat. I never liked to
Zubat or Golbat, but Crobat I always
thought looked really cool and I've used it on
multiple occasions, very solid Pokemon,
aside from Cyrus's Crobat which caused me all
kinds of problems. My first ever Nuzlocke, I like all Crobats
except Cyrus's. Number 28 is Golurk. It's basically a giant
robot, which is cool, but it's an ancient giant
robot, which is really creative. It's also got a fantastic shiny, and I really want to use
one on a team at some point because I still
haven't done that. Number 27 is Umbreon, my
favorite Eeveelution ever since I was a little kid. I think it's the best
looking of all of them. I love the black with the
yellow rings, looks really cool. The shiny is fantastic and the Umbreon from Pokemon
talk is an iconic character that I was never expecting
to actually become iconic. So that's dope. Number 26 is Hawlucha. A little bit of a story time. The first time I
ever edited Wikipedia was when I was in high school and I discovered that paragraph
about flying type Pokemon said the flying
type has been paired with every single other type
at least once and I was like, "No, that's not true. It's never been
paired with fighting." So I corrected it and
the correction stayed. I don't know where
that article is now, but then they came out with
Hawlucha and I was like, "Oh, ha ha see? Now it has." So I like Hawlucha because
of that very mundane but fun memory, but also
because it's really cool. It's a Luchador Hawk,
which is awesome and I used one on
my Ultra Sun team that kicked a lot of booty. Number 25 is Rayquaza, a really incredible
looking legendary Pokemon, the master of the skies and I used one a ton in my
original Ruby playthrough. Rayquaza, fantastic Pokemon. Number 24 is Staraptor, the first regional bird
I ever used on a team and it's incredibly powerful. It looks extremely cool and it's just awesome. It's got raptor in the
name, like come on. Number 23 is Gastrodon, a Pokemon that's
grown on me recently due to my Draft League Team, the Houston Gastros
are having success and also it just, it looks nice. I definitely prefer
East Sea Gastrodon more. I think the blue color
scheme looks better than fricking pink and brown, which is like it's Pepto-Bismol
and poop, come on guys and I also like the two
ear tufts on the top, more than the strange horn
whisker stuff going on. Number 22 is Corviknight, an extremely cool
legendary bird. Steel and flying
type is awesome. One of the best Pokemon to use for a Sword and
Shield playthrough. It looks great. Number 21 is Blaziken. As I mentioned, I love
all the Hoenn starters and Blaziken is up there
as one of the coolest. It's a long legged combat, I guess it technically
it's a chicken, but it doesn't
even look like it. Look, it doesn't look
derpy like a chicken. It honestly looks
more like a Hawk. You know, it's just
got like a beak. That's like the only really
chicken thing about it. It just looks like a
fearsome combat creature. It's dope. Number 20 is Tauros. I know a lot of
people think Taurus is a pretty dull Pokemon. It just is mostly
a regular bull, but I've always thought
bulls were cool animals, especially since I like
the Houston Texans. So I've developed an
affinity for Tauros. Oh, also I used one on
my Yellow playthrough, the first time I ever
played through gen one on the virtual
console and Tauros was very, very good in gen one. So it was fun to use it there. Oh and Bullrush. My shiny Tauros from Lets Go, that I caught and then used
to like ride everywhere for like all of the shiny
hunting I did in that game. So also for that reason. Number 19 is Grimmsnarl. I love the idea of
having a fairy type that is not cute or pretty, but is kind of
ugly and menacing. So I really like that design
and I got even more attached to Grimmsnarl because it was
my best Pokemon on my team that won me the MBF
earlier this year. Number 18 is Lanturn. I love the electric type. I love the color blue. My channel's color schemes
are blue and yellow. It's wearing goggles, which is a trait that
I like in Pokemon. If it's got like
markings around the eyes that look kind of like
the superhero mask the Incredibles
wear, extra points and I just think Lanturn is a
really cute and cool looking Pokemon that I hope to use
on a team at some point. Number 17 is Ludicolo, a Hoenn
Pokemon that is just so fun. Dancing around all the time,
reminds me of Miror B's music, which I use as my background
music in all my videos 'cause I love it and it was on my team
that one won me the MBF. Number 16 is Torterra. The first Sinnoh
starter I ever used and my favorite Sinnoh starter. It's a turtle and
I love reptiles and I really love the design
inspiration behind it. A world turtle
Pokemon is so cool. Number 15 is Metagross. Metagross is a fearsome
and terrifying Pokemon. It's a cool robot. I used it to kick
some butt in the Pokemon World
Tournament in gen five and I've just thought
it was really awesome from the beginning. Number 14 is Falinks. Not only is it a really
creatively designed Pokemon, but all the little
Falinks segments are extremely freaking cute. They're like War
Kirby's, that's amazing. Number 13 is Breloom,
another Hoenn Pokemon I've used on many occasions that hits so hard and it's
so powerful and I love it. Number 12 is a Marshadow, my favorite legendary
Pokemon because I classify mythical Pokemon as a
subset of legendary Pokemon, not a wholly separate group
and if you think I'm wrong, the Pokemon company has
been extremely inconsistent with their designations and mythical being a
subset of legendary just makes more sense. Yet another big head,
little body Pokemon that is absurdly powerful
with unresisted STAB, crazy strong moves
thanks to technician and it's just an
amazingly powerful Pokemon that I honestly wish was
not a mythical Pokemon. So I could actually
use it on a team. Number 11 is Luxray, one of the most popular
Pokemon out there. It's a blue and black
electric type lion. I know it's not
technically a lion. It's like a lynx or whatever, but it looks like a lion, that I used on my first ever
since Sinnoh playthrough team and several others since then, it's a classic which I love and now it's finally
time for the top 10. These ones, in the pantheon
of MandJTV's favorite Pokemon. As of right now,
Number 10 is Haxorus. I love Haxorus due
to how much fun I had using it in gen five. I had one that helped me win
the Pokemon World Tournament, my best Pokemon accomplishment
up to that point in time and it's just a cool dragon
lizard with axes on his face. Like come on. Number nine is Alolan Ninetales. I didn't give a tiny
poopoo butt about Ninetales until Alolan
Ninetales showed up. First off it's representative of the regional
variants concept. Something that I love
and Alolan Ninetales, it's just gorgeous, it's a
beautifully designed Pokemon. So majestic, ice-fairy,
really cool type combo and I finally used one
of my Ultra Sun team and it was great. Alolan Ninetales, my
favorite regional variant, beautiful Pokemon. Number eight is Gigalith. I love its body type
with like the four legs, like Metagross, but Gigalith
is just so fearsome looking, it's covered in spikes
that blast energy. It's got an incredible shiny, and it's just a really
cool designed Pokemon. Number seven is Grapploct. It's got the signature eye mask, the gamer goggles, you know, I liked that thing. It's got an insanely
cool color scheme, both in regular
and in shiny Form and honestly it looks
like a superhero. I'm kind of obsessed
with superheroes and Grapploct is the
closest a Pokemon has come to being a
superhero in my opinion and that's why I love it. Number six is Talonflame, a majestic badass looking
hawk/falcon that just, I dominated with in gen six, both in an actual VGC
tournament I went to and in the Battle Maison,
it's an amazing Pokemon and I'm really sad about
the Gale Wings nerf. Number five is
Castform, hail yeah, I've always thought Castform
was extremely adorable, but my affinity for
it has grown tenfold in the last few years. I love its little goggles. I get more attached
to it because I know a lot of
people don't like it, so I feel the need to defend it and now it's got shiny forms
for its weather forms, finally and the hail one
is blue and yellow, my channel's color scheme
once again, hail yeah. Number four is Gliscor. It's a creature of the
night, fearsome Pokemon that's really strong. It looks so menacing, but also friendly
at the same time and I just think
that's fantastic. Number three is Zebstrika. As a kid, my favorite
animal was zebras and they are arguably still
my favorite animal today, despite my affinity for
lizards and reptiles and this is my favorite
type on my favorite animal. It's an electric zebra with
the lightening bolt stripes. That is absurdly cool. Back when I was scrolling
through all the gen five Pokemon for the first time, when
it came out in Japan before here in America
and I saw Zebstrika, I just instantly was
like, I am using that and I did, and I
wish it was stronger, but it's just such
an insanely cool, it's a zebra with lightning
bolts stripes, like come on. Number two is Vikavolt. Those of you who have
been around my channel for the last few
years will know why I like this Pokemon so much. First off, it's really cool. It's a fearsome looking bug
that's not scary, just fearsome. It's an electric type and
I love the electric type and I had multiple
moments of my Vikavolts being incredible
in more than one of my Alola playthroughs, both in Sun and in Ultra Sun. Havoc and Ion are iconic
Pokemon in my Pokemon history, and finally Number
one is Sceptile. I picked it 'cause
I love lizards or I love lizards because
I picked Sceptile. It was my first ever
starter that I ever had ever and I've loved it ever since. So there we go, that
was my top 100 Pokemon and here's the picture
of the finished Favorite Pokemon
Picker thing I did that took a long time. Oh my gosh but you
can do it yourself. Link's in the description, but so is the link
