Charjabug becomes infinitely cuter when you watch the Sun & Moon anime.

Iāll have to go with some of the Ultra Beasts, like Stakataka:
Celesteela:
Xurkitree:
Blacephalon:
etc.
Oh, and some PokƩmon forms are done right, like Alolan Vulpix/Nintales or Marowak, but some are defintely not, like the Alolan Persian mentioned by OP or the new Pooper (Paldean Wooper) - although I might change my mind slightly when I see it in the anime perhaps:
Greetz,
Quuador
In all honesty some of these PokĆ©mon Iām seeing for the first time here Iām not really up to date with the newest additions but some of these are giving me the ick

Luckily they gave it the most op, quick bannable move ever but my eyes still havenāt recovered from seeing the sprite of this thing in every pre-ban OU battle. I feel bad for posting it here.

It hurts me deeply to see so many genuinely excellent designs in here.

Iām surprised that until now nobody has mentioned āStonjournerā ⦠itās extremely ugly. Itās like a brick with giant legs and tiny hands ⦠even other Rock PokĆ©mon that are also considered as āSimplisticā like Geodude, Nosepass or Roggenrola are much better than Stonjourner.

Stonjourner fit really well with the region design of Galar so I give it points for that.
Stop, I love Pyukumuku
Its like a mutant bunny/pincushion. And the noise it makes in the game is so fun!

Thereās lots of pokemon that I think look dumb or gross but I can at least appreciate their theme or vibe (even if it was an interesting idea that has a stupid design lol). Some have been mentioned already. But here are a few that bother meā¦
I feel like the potential from the previous evolution is wasted on the final forms of these 3:
Dragapult

Forretress

Ludicolo

This line could have been so much better, what a disappointmentā¦I love dark/fairy but this is stupid lol (although the third one is better than the first two):
Impidimp/Morgem/Grimmsnarl



I want to like this line but I just canāt⦠Cool idea, but it looks so ugly haha:
Capsakid/Scovillain


This oneās just weird and I donāt like it:
Turtonator

Did you watch the Sun & Moon anime? You may have a different perspective on Turtonator after watching it. ![]()
Oh no, I havenāt seen all of the S&M anime. Maybe one day Iāll watch it and change my mind :')
Please do!
Out of the three seasons (Sun & Moon, Ultra Adventures, and Ultra Legends), #1 and #3 are the best by far. Ultra Adventures is a bit⦠out there and side-tracked with the ultrabeast fiasco. The opening theme songs on Sun & Moon and Ultra Legends are also incredible.
Turtonator is such a sweet main character in the series.

You

Have you seen the Sun & Moon anime? You may have a different perspective on X after watching it.
Shoutout to Kiaweās Turtonator!
I would watch the Sun & Moon anime on repeat until the day that I die. It is honestly that good and wholesome.
(I might be biased because I have family from the real-world location that Sun & Moon is based off of)
I finally got around to watching it last year and its fantastic! The themes, characters, and just fun seen in Alola was a treat.
SM anime was so good, I was kinda lukewarm on most of the pokemon from gen 7 but after the anime and USUM I love all the pokemon and characters (minus bruxish). I honestly didnt care that much about bewear, but after seeing its antics with team rocket, which were always funny imo, I grew to love it, same with meowth and mimikyu
