So I was humming and hawwing over this, but in the end I went for Hydreigon, with a tie for second between Garchomp and Salamence. I just love the look of Hydreigon, and once I get the shiny charm I plan to breed for a competitive one.

Of the seven, the one I like the least is easily Goodra.

Hmmm, have never been a fan of pseudo-legendary (or even the legendary ones, bar a few exceptions) Pokémon. Dragonite does have the nostalgia factor but design-wise I think it's a toss-up between Salamence and Hydreigon for me. I'll go with Hydreigon 'cause Dark is my joint-favourite Pokémon type. :cool: (Poison being my other favourite)

Least favourite design-wise is Metagross, 'cause it's an ugly fúcker, but I also have a dislike for Garchomp due to Cynthia's annoyingly powerful one. (Never played Gen 4 but did fight Cynthia in Black; had to use an X Speed on my Excadrill to defeat that fúcking Garchomp. :mad:)

I have always loved tyranitar, don't know why but I always have one in my team, I have one currently, only pseudo legendary I'll even use though! Did use goodra because it's adorable for a while but switched for tyranitar ha

only one other person correctly chose dragonite

Banjo

Hydreigon
Garchomp is a close second for its awesome kaiju look. Dragonite is a disappointingly goofy looking final evo. Salamence's appearance doesn't gel with its stats or typing in my opinion. Goodra... Just.... No. Metagross's breeding issues just annoy me. Hydreigon looks awesome and has a real sense of cohesion between its evo stages. Yes I am very shallow.

Machismo Fan

Couldn't choose anybody but Dragonite. It's awesome and adorable. Also partial to Salamence.

Chose Dragonite for a mix of nostalgic reasons and it's versatility (Physical attacker and Special attacker on my rain team).
Garchomp is a close second as it was my favourite Pokémon in Platinum when I returned to playing Pokémon games.

I have enjoyed using all the others in battles since too! Hydreigon would be immense if some of its attack stat was put into speed instead!

Angron

I generally run my Hydreigon scarfed, so speed is usually fine. It is a bit annoying being locked in on one move, but oh well.

Atavan-Halen

Has to be t-tar for me. Ran a really nice one in soul silver. Salamence would be a close second purely based on its design.

Hydreigeon is the coolest thing since Aticuno

I like Dragonite for old time's sake and for the love I bare his pre-evolutions... he's just so ugly though

Yeah I can't deal with being stuck with one move (even more so if it ends up being a Dragon type move), especially when you have the great coverage that Hydeigon has!

Lexicious

Has to be Dragonite. I've had one on my team for as long as I can remember. Always with the same nickname and normally with the same set-up.
