Personally, mine is joint first between Sandshrew (the cutest), Espurr (most relatable), and Gastrodon.

After those, in no particular order, I like Turtwig (best starter, fight me), the Roggenrola line (little rock guys), the Litwick line (candles and lamps with nefarious intentions), and Metagross (cool robot thing).

Kyogre is the best legendary in my opinion

Butterfree, because I once beat a friend's Mewtwo with it on Soul Silver.

Pikachu, because it's so cute.

Bug types being super effective on Psychic types is always so funny to me.

I have big brain and move big things with mind, but a bug bite, it scares me.

I believe the reasoning for the weaknesses of Psychic type are based on different phobias (scared of the dark, bugs, and ghosts). Also, it makes bug types just that little bit stronger which is nice!

Yeah, but the important detail in this case, was Butterfree's base stats vs. Mewtwo's and the fact that I hit it with a successful sleep powder and it was fast asleep for so long, that I managed to kill it with dream eater. 👻
