Grass-type glory! Meowscarada reigns supreme in Japanese Pokémon popularity poll!

Trainers! Brace yourselves for some fiery debate and purrfectly adorable reveals, because a recent poll in Japan just crowned the king (or should I say, queen?) of the Paldea region: the grass/dark-type evolution Meowscarada!

That’s right, nearly 153,000 trainers cast their votes, and Meowscarada strutted away with the top spot, leaving even the charming fire starter Fuecoco and the ever-spooky Chandelure in its floral dust.

But hold on, Sylveon fans, your precious fairy didn’t get left behind! It snagged a comfy fourth place, followed by the steel-type powerhouse Tinkaton and the ever-popular Lucario. ✨

Of course, no poll’s complete without some surprises. Who saw Clodsire, the derpy evolution of the derpy tadpole Clobbopus, slithering into ninth place? And can we give a round of applause to Mimikyu, the adorable (yet slightly terrifying) disguise master, for holding strong at seventh?

But hey, this is just the top 20! If you’re curious about the full 100 (including the 100th-place water starter Quaxwell), head over to the GameWith website and see where your faves landed. (And trust me, the results are full of spicy takes and unexpected gems!)

Now, Trainers, let’s get down to the real question: who’s YOUR ultimate Paldea pal? Did Meowscarada steal your heart, or is there another Pokémon that sparks your inner champion? And do these poll results make you wanna hop back into Scarlet and Violet for another adventure?
