Jaden52001's Top 10 and Opinions

Rock Type Pokemon

Jaden: 'Allo governors and welcome back to my top ten lists. I apologise for this being a day late but you'd understand if you spent hours building drawers. Anyways, let's get onto the list.

Anna: Where are we?

Jaden: It's called a quarry. A place for digging stones.

Lucas: There is a lot of different types here.

Jaden: Let's just begin.

Number 10

Jaden: First off is Rhydon. I like this because it was the very first Pokemon ever programmed into the first games. Also, when it got the evolution of Rhyperior, I just found it weird to look at. How did it go from a smooth grey stone to a rough and ugly brown one.

Lucas: Ask the design team, it was their idea to do that.

Number 9

Jaden: While I do like this one, it's kind of overrated in my opinion. Also, it has too many weaknesses. It's Tyranitar, probably the worst Pseudo Legendary in my opinion.

Anna: You really don't like it as much as the community?

Jaden: No, while it is cool looking, mega included, and that it is powerful, it's just not that good defense wise.

Lucas: Yeah, I'm pretty sure it has like, 5 weaknesses.

Jaden: Hence why it is so low.

Number 8

Jaden: Now, I was originally going to put Gigalith on this because it looks cool and the shiny is amazing. But instead, I'm putting in Boldore.

Anna: Why Boldore?

Jaden: Let me explain, when I played Pokemon Black 2, I didn't know anyone else who played the game. Because of that, I couldn't evolve my Boldore by trade. So I had it throughout my journey. I eventually did evolve it when I came back to my hometown but it just didn't feel the same anymore.

Lucas: That's a great story actually.

Jaden: Thanks.

Number 7

Jaden: Read the steel type list for Bastiodon's reasoning.

Number 6

Jaden: Read the steel type list for Aggron's reasoning.

Number 5

Jaden: Next up is everyone's favourite Rock dog, Lycanroc. I'm putting all three forms on the list because they are all good. I like the design, the mechanics and the competitive usage. However, each of them has their downsides.

Anna: Which are?

Jaden: Midday looks bland, Midnight isn't the best at competitive compared to the others and Dusk is too annoying to evolve.

Lucas: How is it annoying to evolve per se?

Jaden: It is very specific as it has to be between 5 PM to 5:59 PM. But since I play Ultra Moon, it has to be the AM times instead so I had to change my clock to evolve it.

Anna: That explains it.

Number 4

Jaden: I was excited to see what fossils they had in Emerald. When I looked at the two, I preferred the Claw Fossil over the Root Fossil. When I revived it, Anorith looked cute. Once it evolved, I liked it way more. Armaldo is a beast and quite good in competitive.

Lucas: You said there was a funny story about Armaldo you had.

Jaden: Yes, you see, since I couldn't get Anorith in Pokemon Ultra Moon without the Poke Pelago mines, I asked my friend who had Ultra Sun to trade me one over. Since I like to nickname my Pokemon, he asked my what I would like to have it nicknamed. I requested it to be called Arthur because the Pokemon is based off of an Arthropod. He didn't get it until I told him.

Anna: *laughs* That's pretty funny.

Number 3

Jaden: Aerodactyl is probably the fastest fossil Pokemon of them all. It is very cool looking and it is awesome in competitive. Though the mega looks a bit ugly.

Lucas: I can tell, it's lost its hands.

Jaden: And the stones coming out of it looks weird. But other than that, a great Pokemon.

Number 2

Jaden: When it was introduced in Sun and Moon, it helped me a lot in competitive. Minior became one of the best Pokemon to use in battle thanks to its Shields Down ability plus Shell Smash plus White Herb plus Acrobatics. it becomes a monster in battle.

Anna: Yeah, he swept someone's team using it.

Number 1

Jaden: Now, everyone knows the whole Twitch Plays Pokemon thing with Lord Helix. Well guess what. Screw Lord Helix, I'm choosing the Dome Fossil. Kabutops is an amazing looking Pokemon and the origins are just cool. Also, give it a Damp Rock, use Rain Dance, have it have the ability Swift Swim and use Waterfall. It becomes a monster in battle.

Lucas: Yeah, you destroy so many Pokemon with that.

Anna: I'm glad he's never used it against me.
