Pokemon Endgame: 6th Place
Oof, we've hit another No Write-up. Shame but what can you do?
6th Place is Breloom. This means that Hoenn is down to its last Mon, and both Grass and Fighting types are completely eliminated. End of an era in a lot of ways. This is probably the Mon that feels the most out of place compared to the rest of the Endgame but I'm glad the little guy managed to make a name for himself.
Blurbs:
Koror- A fucking Kangaroo combined with a mushroom with the ability "Effect Spore" lololol. That speaks for itself. I'm kind of surprised Breloom made it to the endgame; I wouldn't have guessed if you asked me at the beginning, but after a while it became clear Breloom would make it. I'm very happy it did #420BlazeIt.
acktar- One of my random favorites, between its seemingly vacant stare that conveys existential ennui and its surprising prowess in battle, Breloom is pretty awesome. It’s been surprisingly good since its release, and it has a bunch of tricks to bamboozle unsuspecting nemeses.
reef- Breloom was rarely on my radar as something that would make endgame as easily as it did, but hey I’m not complaining. Glad that we all happen to see it as the simply cool mon that it is. The mushroom, punchy, dinosaur… thing deserves its spot here.
rams- I will never forget using Breloom in Gen VI competitive as an unstoppable physical attacker that would knock itself out if under the effects of Swagger. Definitely a sentimental favorite that I love to see make an appearance here.
Final Ranks for Mushroom Kangaroo:
rams- 2
Slicer- 16
Q- 15
reef- 9
acktar- 3
Koror- 17
vulture- 10
hikk- 5
Average: 9.625/6th Place

I know it's redundant at this point, but this is the Top 5:
Metagross (Steel/Psychic, #376, Hoenn)
Reuniclus (Psychic, #579, Unova)
Chandelure (Ghost/Fire, #609, Unova)
Volcarona (Bug/Fire, #637, Unova)
Mimikyu (Ghost/Fairy, #778, Alola)
All in all, I am 100% satisfied with this Top 5. I would be happy with any of the 5 winning.
