What is your Magnum Opus Pokemon?

For whatever reason, your most treasured Pokemon in your collection?

For example, despite owning a few Mewtwos and a perfect TTar, my favorite Pokemon is my Lugia.

It's the first and one of the only Pokemon I've ever maxed, and has tons of favorable neutral matchups. Best of all, it's extremely potion-efficient, meaning it can take down gyms with ease. I also have been meeting more and more people that don't have a Lugia at all nowadays, like its a relic from the past.

What's the Pokemon that holds the most value to you?

I really don't want this to become an IV thing, but I have a 100% tauros that I always thought was cool since it's regional.

Lugia was very difficult to catch due to its animation. You couldn't do the normal circle set and throw on attack and the circle stay the same. I'd say it was the hardest legendary to catch up to this point. You obviously are proud of and should be proud of yours!

I play on an iPhone 5 which has a tiny screen. Lugia's attack animation would raise the circle so high that I couldn't curve into it right after its attack animation unless i hit the very bottom of it.

I figured out I could throw into a small circle somewhat consistently by throwing the moment it descended after flying up.

I coordinated my anti-Mewtwo teams using name systems to represent counters to different movesets. When fighting Mewtwo, the moveset is everything.

For example, Lugia's role is as an anchor to all movesets except Shadow Ball and Hyper Beam, and it is imperative to Focus Blast.

It's my 100% Mewtwo,
the one and only Mewtwo I had the chance to catch and the first good 100% I got - Plus, Mewtwo is THE legendary Pokemon
Felt really rewarding to get it, since I was coordinating the Raid back then and I'm usually pretty introvertive

Can't wait to reach Lv38 and give him his last 2 power ups

Mewtwo's my favorite Pokémon, so THIS is what I aspire to get a hold of, pretty much my ultimate goal in the game. Congratulations, man. =]

My 2 are
- 100 IV Dragon Breath/ Dragon Claw Dragonite
-100 IV Shadow Claw/ Shadowbolt

The Dratini and Ghastly were both wild catches caught without tracker and predate even the appraisal system so I defenitely value them the most out of any of my mons.

In Comparison to the legendary Birds and Beasts... these, are the true legendarys, awesome catches!

My favorite would easily be Mewtwo, but I don't have it yet, so I'll go with what I currently have.

I have a few favorites, including Lugia, but my most cherished Pokémon is this guy here. I found him as a young 95% IV Dratini in the wild on November 6, 2016, and since then, has been with me through thick and thin since the good ole days during the old gym system. He was my first maxed out Pokémon, as well. He currently remains as my 5th oldest Pokémon in my collection, and has fought in over 6,500 gym battles! He even knows the infamous Dragon Breath (not Dragon Claw, sadly lol), which absolutely slays gyms. He is the only Dragonite I've ever had, and is currently my 3rd strongest Pokémon. I can't even tell you how long my Dracula has been in the top row for haha. He's an absolute monster, and will probably keep him over any other Dragonite, even maybe a perfect IV one! ;)

There's always room for more, no need to choose! I like his name.

Snorlax isn't exactly my favorite mon, but it's always made me smile. And I have managed a 0% IV one that's named Absolute Zero, and a 777 CP one named Buddha. I treasure them both.

My Lugia.
I remember what happened when I caught it after the last three fled (including a 98IV one).

I caught it the last days of July and, despite everyone said me to not power it up until Lugia was available in raids, I maxed it out the same day I caught it.

I use it a lot in gym battle and as an anchor in Machamp raid.

My 98% dragonite db/dp, caught in the wild in July last year and walked a couple 100 km during halloween event last year to evolve it and bring it to level 30.
I like also a gyarados that i have because its weight is 24.85kg and length is 6.03m.

My favorite is my 100% Lapras. Wish they would become more relevant again. I have a little stoner 420 Pikachu, and a 666 Mantine I call DevilRay that I'm fond of as well.

This shiny raichu. Although as far as usefulness and looks go, my female Rhydon that's 100% is my favorite of the bunch. Too bad Rhypherior looks so... boring.

My faithful Nessie, the only wild D'nite I ever encountered, on 26 Nov '16, when I was such a noob I needed help catching her (my 11-year-old son caught her with my last red ball). Although her IV's are only 38%, her awesome legacy moves make her one of my best fighters - then and now.

She has since been joined by 5 other dragons but will always be my favorite.

Mine is my first ever Gyarados. It took me sooooooooooo long to get enough candies and had to walk so far to get the last 4 candies and catch the last magikarp. I was so happy to catch it at the river to finally evolve it. He sucks. I was so new and because I didn't know any better about IVs or anything, I just picked kept the highest CP one. I think back at all those hundreds of karps I probably trashed, probably even a perfect one in the process, but he is my first goal in the game. He is pretty pathetic, but I cannot get rid of him. At least he has twister. lol.
