My Top 8 Pokemon in Pokemon Sun and Moon
4. Cosmog
After completing the main story of Pokemon Sun and Moon, players will be all too familiar with Cosmog. This Nebula Pokemon holds a huge secret, which the entire storyline revolves around. Although Cosmog spends most of its time inside Lillie’s hand bag, once you become Pokemon League champion, Cosmog becomes addable to your own party. While Cosmog like Ditto is kind of useless in battle, this Pokemon makes the list because of the character it adds to the main storyline.
3. Alolan Exeggutor
When Alolan Exeggutor was announced, people went pretty crazy. The long neck was so incredibly ridiculous. Once I got Pokemon Moon and caught my own, I wholeheartedly agree. Half the time Exeggutor is on screen its head is cut off. It seems basically to be a meme Pokemon. I like memes, so Exeggutor comes in 3rd place on my list. Oh, yeah, Exeggutor is actually pretty powerful as well. So there’s that reason as well, but still mostly the memes.
2. Kommo – o
Of all the Pokemon on this list, Kommo – o is easily the most powerful. Being a Fighting Dragon type makes Kommo – o particularly powerful from a statistical standpoint. While a super powerful Pokemon, I actually really like the character design. Does this Pokemon not look awesome? Like seriously. Game Freak did an awesome job creating this Dragon Pokemon.
1. Mimikyu
Coming in at number 1 on my top 8 pokemon list is Mimikyu. Everything about Mimikyu works for me. The sad lore, the character design and its usefulness in battle. Known as the friendless Pokemon, Mimikyu uses a disguise in hopes of making friends with humans. This is sad. Trying to look like the lovable Pikachu? FeelsBadMan. However sad that lore is, the disguise itself is super useful in battle. By Granting Mimikyu the ability to take one attack without damage per battle Disguise becomes super useful. Couple Disguise with Play Rough and Mimikyu is an absolute beast.
There you have it. My top 8 Pokemon list for Pokemon Sun and Moon. Please note that this list is 100% subject; with 302 Pokemon to choose from will be vastly different than the one you probably have. Enjoy the game and the Pokemon you like!
