I love my Celebi
My favorite pokemon include (in no order): Gengar, Golem, Deoxys, Rayquaza, Torchic, Blaziken, Mudkip, Swampert, metagross, Alakazam, all the regis, latios, latias and our dear God Arceus.
My faves in order from best to also best but not best best are:
Shuckle- Literally the greatest thing ever created
Swampert- Pretty sure this is the greatest starter of all time
Slaking- Have you seen this dudes attack stat?
Slakoth- Me
Blastoise- Blastoise
Feraligatr- My best memory as a kid was owning/pulling the reverse holo expedition base card where he’s swimming in the river (pretty bad ass) I still own it and I’m fairly sure the condition wouldn’t even get a PSA 1 ![]()
Raichu forever

Blastoise - was always my favorite from red & Blue and the TCG. Managed to snag a 1st edition Blastoise as a kid from trading (along with a Venusaur) Pretty much snaked that kid in the trade, but still.
Others in no particular order - Lugia, Zapdos, Moltres, Flareon, Gengar, Alakazam, Kabutops, Rayquaza, Charizard & Machamp.
Goldeen
Mew and Charmander are my favorite because of nostalgia.
Houndour because it has cool artworks

1st place of course is blastoise, I like the art work on expedition set and the art work on the squirtle deck
2nd place is umbreon…I’ll update onto what art work from which set I like
Arceus is life! ![]()
I really wish it would get a Full Art or Rainbow Rare at some point…on the flip side, i’m fairly close to my goal of getting every English Arceus card in PSA 10 (15/19 so far; missing 4 Black Star Promos).
Charizard, Gengar, Alakazam, Machamp
