Favourite New Pokémon in Sword & Shield?

So far? WOOLOO.
It won me over at first glance! But I like a few more too, and I just need some time to get used to them all~

 

Like many others, my favourite's currently wooloo. I mean, it's cute AND a sheep. There isn't anything better....probably there is. A close second for me is Gossifleur. I've no particular reason to like it, except for it's design.

 

My personal favorite is Corviknight. Wooloo's really growing on me as well, though I more than likely won't be using one on my team.

 

Pokémon Company: "We have a sheep, a snapping turtle, some nice flowers, an armored raven-"
Me: "You had me at sheep."

Seriously though, I like all the new designs so far.

• Wooloo is my favorite of the bunch simply because it's adorable and I want a dozen of 'em.
• Drednaw has an awesome name, and it's about time we had a proper snapping turtle Pokémon.
• Gossifluer looks fabulous and Eldegoss looks freaking cozy, I love it.
• Corviknight is definitely the coolest one so far and is my brother's new favorite next to Zacian (He's a Dark Souls fan).
• I like both Zamazenta and Zacian equally simply because of the mythological references behind their designs. Which is why I'm getting both versions.

 

Corvinight is my personal favorite!
I like its design, it is so cool!
(It reminds me a lot of Staraptor, which is like one of my all-time favorite, so I guess this explains that)

 

Corviknight!
Seriously it's gotta be one of the most metal Pokémon out there. It could easily come from a dark fantasy show or game.

My current rankings for the new Pokémon would probably go.
1. Corviknight
2. Grookey - While it may have been thrown out of its spot as my favorite Galar Mon by Corviknight, I still love this little grass monkey a lot!
3. Rolycoly - Cute name, and will probably evolve into something cool. Some people have suggested it might have a train theme, which sounds neat.
4. Impidimp - Unpopular opinion but I actually like this lil guy even if he does look more like a character from the Yokai watch universe than a Pokémon.
5. Wooloo - Round fluffy sheep. Bit generic though.
6. Zamazenta - Hated it at first but it has grown on me a lot in the past 24 hours. Now I think it's pretty neat, although a bit overdesigned.
7. Drednaw - Nice colour scheme and reminds me a lot of Guiron, and any Pokémon that looks like a kaiju is a win in my opinion.
8. Eldegoss - Pretty cute. Like it's colour scheme to.
9. Alcreme - Cute but not very interesting to me. I can understand why others like it though
10. Scorbunny - Cute, although I probably won't pick it unless it has a cool final evo.
11. Sobble - ^^^^^
12. Gossifluer - Doesn't interest me much.
13. Yamper - Weird squashed face, overly simplified body that makes it look more like a toy than a living creature, ugly colour scheme, not a fan of it's design at all.
14. Daruladon - Why, just why? Looks like the severely deformed child of gigalith and palkia.
15. Zacian - Confusing design, bad colour scheme, to many details. Terrible. Worst box legendary by far.

EDIT: ranked and added opinions on the Pokémon from the recent trailer

 

Wooloo, but Corviknight is a close second. I'm glad so many people seem to like Wooloo. When I first saw it, I thought I would be the only one.

 

Corviknight is also my favorite, followed by Drednaw. For the former, it is a simple, yet elegant and intimidating design that just screams badass. For the latter, it just looks cool. Like a cross between Grotle and Druddigon, but with a brighter color scheme. And you can already tell what it's name means: Drednaught + Maw.
The only one I wasn't very fond of was Eldegoss. The head just looks awkward to me, and I think they should have made the dandelion part a lot smaller.

 

I like the Pokémon we’ve seen so far, but not enough to get attached to them. Scorbunny is still my favorite. But Zamazenta is starting to grow on me.
Ranking from best to worst, because why not:
Scorbunny
Zamazenta
Corviknight
Gossifleur
Grookey
Impidimp
Wooloo
Drednaw
Eldegoss
Sobble
Yamper
Zacian

 

I actually really like Impidimp. It looks silly, but it's definitely not the traditional look that most fairy Pokémon have, which I love. I don't know if this is actually the case, but I think that Impidimp, being a dark/fairy type, is based off of unseelie fae/fairy, and I really love that idea. Impidimp is probably the one new Pokémon that I'm the most excited to see more of, like its Pokédex entries and if it's part of an evolutionary line. It would be awesome if Impidimp is part of a split off evolutionary line of seelie and unseelie fae, or light and ark fairies. That would be so cool.

 

So now that the dex has been completely revealed, I figured I'd post my updated favourites list.

Appletun and Flapple - These fellas have already made my all-time faves list. Appletun is perfect. Small, chubby, and cute as hell. Flapple has a really unique design and I love lil chubby round cheeks. If I did buy these games I'd definitely have one of these guys on my team.

Dragapult - A lot of people seem to love this one, me included. Easily one of my favorite psuedo-legendary designs. I love everything about it, especially the stealth bomber inspiration and the colour palette they used on him. Cool typing as well.

Snom - Frosmoth is fantastic to, but Snom is absolutely adorable and perfect in every way. I feel like it'd be one of those Pokémon that would be hard to evolve just because of how cute it is.

Grimmsnarl - As a fan of Impidimp, I'm so glad he got this badass evolution. Seriously, Grimmsnarl is God damn amazing. The whole line is 10/10 honestly.

Inteleon - I was never much of a sobble fan (as you can see by my previous posts on this thread), but I think Inteleon is really cool. Unpopular opinion, I know.
I will admit it took a while to get used to how skinny it looks, but overall I think the design is neat. I love the spy theme a lot.

Dracovish - I'm really torn on this fella. One one hand he is cute as hell and I love how weird he looks. On the other hand, I feel like he'd be in pain all the time because he is literally a just a tail with a fish head stuck on it

Some of my other favourites from this gen are Sandaconda, Zamazenta, Rillaboom (and Grookey obviously), the Hatterene line, Falinks, Mr Rime, Runerigus, Corviknight, and Cursola.
Despite my very negative views on SwSh and the dex cut, this gen has a lot of cool new mons. Hopefully I can use some of these mons in future games

 

Design-wise, my favourites for this generation are Dubwool, Orbeetle, Corviknight, and Galarian Meowth.

I love Orbeetle's colour scheme and how it glows during attacks, Corviknight just looks so good to me and I did raise one for a while.
Galarian Meowth... I love its design but I was disappointed to find that it's not actually a chubby fluffy cat, it's just its beard. I do love Purrserker's shit-eating grin tho

 

Frosmoth is my new favorite, now that all of the new Pokémon are revealed. I still do like Corviknight, though.
