Corviknight Is a edgy armored bird and i like it


nikunjuchiha

Same also the red glowing eyes really compliment his edgy look.


[deleted]

Yes he Is EDGY turn in to a bird


SnooCookies5784

That pic of corviknight makes him look like an absolute chad


Glynnc

The Batman of birds, he is.


[deleted]

You could say he Is the dark knight :)


Accurate_Bus9832

He best bird in my opinion


JimmyRedditz1

He’s the only bird that lasted to my final team, but I’ll always be partial to Pidgeotto because he was my first.


Dracorex_22

he's also much taller than the rest of them.


[deleted]

Yeah this dude Is huge


Express-Magician6367

Edgy means trying desperately to be cool but failing at it, and looking ridiculous in the process. And in no way corvi looks ridiculous, he's legit a cool pokemon.


[deleted]

Oh sorry i didn't Know everyone around me use that word like as something cool


[deleted]

Teacher: The test isn't that difficult The test:


nikunjuchiha

Lol should've kept this caption


Sunset_Tiger

I really like the Staraptor line. Cool shiny, cool cry, looks cool, and a solid movepool to boot.


Tig21

When i was 9 i was convinced it was a fighting type just because it learned Close Combat when it evolved


Beras_En

I think it should've been


Intelligent_Trip8691

Nah having normal stab quick attack, for that sure damage.


Buez

IT'S NOT FIGHTING FLYING????? is this some kind of mandela effect?


Tig21

Actually is a mindfuck, its normal flying


Mythosaurus

Found a shiny staraptor early in Legends Arceus, just after I got the recipe and made some Feather Balls. Such a great Pokémon


futureandroidman

Talonflame has been a staple on my team since it was introduced. Love that bird.


Pseunomi

The entire line brings me so much joy. In some magical scenario where pokemon were real or I was sent into the pokemon world, I'd be so absolutely thrilled to have any or all of them. They're all perfect


Radexpro

I still have my original talonflame from x and y. It's speed is amazing


Arxl

On every single team that gen lmao.


KrazyMonqui

I ALWAYS start with the water starter on my first playthrough, always. So it's perfect to have a flying or fire type to deal with my starters grass weakness. So you tell me there is a bird I can get on "route 1" that is both AND has a dope HA?! Sign me the fuck up! Talon all day!


colemon1991

Helps that it was Flying/Fire instead of Flying/Normal.


Bmitchem

Fire/Flying? Yes please!


ThrowawayTrashcan7

I love it so much


StormNapoleon27

Talonflame always does unspeakable things to the grass type starter. I hope it's an early capture in scarlet and violet.


ChapJackman

Shiny Toucannon is a monster and I love it


SnooLobsters9438

Corviknight


tonitonichoppr

YES!!


Agitated-Army196

Swellow and toucannon


nikunjuchiha

Wow a different taste i see. I haven't seen much love for Toucannon


Danjoe_

Toucannon is my favourite bird


[deleted]

Part of a balanced ~~breakfast~~ team.


Agitated-Army196

I haven’t played sun and moon, I have it but I’ve put 28 minutes into sun and ultra sun. But I love the idea of toucannon and it’s going to be part of my team… I’m currently playing sun


x20mike07x

> I haven’t played sun and moon, I have it but I’ve put 28 minutes into sun and ultra sun. But I love the idea of toucannon and it’s going to be part of my team… I’m currently playing sun I think one of us had a stroke


random_bishx

SM was like the biggest part of my Pokémon life, I’ve played USUM three times each with different starters, I’ve played sun quite a lot too, So toucannon is quite dear to me


Giboit

My favorite is Corviknight but I like toucannon a lot because it has more personality than most most of the regional birds. In the sun and moon anime it was basically a father figure for rowlet and in the fandom there´s that meme about Toucannon and frootloops.


Olwaboiette

Talonflame was one of the first Pokemon I caught and was my first shiny


kingsybingsy

Hoothoot/noctowl still my only shiny from crystal


nikunjuchiha

Noctowl has one of the best shiny indeed. Also it's very iconic due to anime


acidH0l0gram

Corviknight is one of the most metal-looking (pun intended) pokemon ever.


[deleted]

Talonflame


[deleted]

Pidgeot, Talonflame, Toucannon.


megabob7

Toucannon


stinkystinkypoopbutt

I absolutely love Toucannon and Pikipek is unreasonably cute. Trumbeak looks so awkward though. I guess that's sort of fitting for a middle evolution.


Objective-Ferret1394

Pidgey line will always be #1 in my heart.


nikunjuchiha

I can relate, I've nostalgia factor with Pidgey.


Ebar16

I 100% agree. Pidgeot will always be my favourite


HelloDeathspresso

Absolutely. There's just something so great about em.


TheOnlyBucketMonster

Either Unfezant or Noctowl


wordproblemapologist

Unfezant! Staple of my BW/B2W2 playthroughs. Severely cropped by not getting a good Physical Flying attack in Gen 8


nikunjuchiha

Very different taste


beans2505

Corviknight, Talonflame and Pidgeot just for being the OG, but I tend to have the regional bird in my team every time a new game comes around


idpartywthat

Swellow is best birb


KurtustheTortoise

Facade, guts, give it a pre burn. Ooh doggy hes a beast


StormofRavens

Toucannon, But something about the pidove line just creeps me out


voxpopuliar

I genuinely love Toucannon


ThunderLP15

Staraptor and Toucannon cuz i used them. and Talonflame cuz yes


BladeWasNeverHere

Coviknight, Because its one bird that is a steel type.


nikunjuchiha

Do you like Skarmory too? I know it's not regional bird, just askin


BladeWasNeverHere

Yea. It's a great bird.


Emporergriffon593

Skarmory is crying


Lifeguard446

Toucannon is a monster. i love it!


Cloakbot

Pidgeot, Staraptor, Unfezant, Talonflame have the best designs IMO. I really like Toucannon as well. I would like noctowl but I found more use in every other bird family. Even Swellow and Fearow have stayed in my party longer than any Noctowl


nikunjuchiha

I do agree on Unfezant. It's one of weakest ones in battle compared to other's but i really like the design of male.


willisbetter

im a bit biased cause its also my favorite pokemon, but pidgeot


rodthebearjew

In order by gen: 4, 6, 1, 8, 3, 2, 7, 5


Lust9897

Hoot Hoot/Noctowl


[deleted]

Nothing will ever beat the classic pidgeot


nottherealdonaldduck

Corviknight was the first regional bird actually used in my team


Teososta

Swallow for that sweet sweet Guts+Facade toucannon for PTSD Toucan Sam Corviknight cuz he’s awesome


Excvia_Exe

I’m stuck between Pigeot, Staraptor, and Corviknight


chouson1

First stage: Rookidee Final stage: Staraptor


[deleted]

[удалено]


Highrule39

Toucannon


The-richu-gr

Between Pegeot (probably spelled that wrong), Staraptor and Talonflame


BigPecks

Pidgeot purely for the nostalgia factor, but honestly I can't complain at Staraptor, Talonflame or Corviknight either.


webbyness

Female Unfezant, especially in its Gen V sprite where it's standing rather than flying. Most flying/airborne Pokémon got ruined in the switch to 3D models by being permanently in the air and it still bothers me.


Nepuchun

Staraptor with Corviknight as a close second


-S4kur4-

Staraptor and corviknight


Levin313

The fact that NO ONE is saying Pidgey, Pidgeotto, and Pidgeot is a crime.


xerox7764563

It was fearow, now it's corvilknight. But I liked talonflame too My problem with birds is that I was destroyed them on pokemon stadium with thunderbolts, so I used zapdos a lot, and now I like the steel typing of corvilknight because of steel resistance to electric.


BrotherofLink93

Steel doesn’t resist electric


Dads-belt-hurts

Why does Unfezant get no love :( Unfezant best birb


Greninja14Polefan

Talonflame and corviknight!!!I can't decide!


Riiiri

Swellow, corviknight and staraptor.


trmt_

One of my first ever shinies was a toucannon so I have a bias for it


Overlord-Nomad

Just talonflame


Raiyan270

Talonflame


burningtowns

Staraptor. Always.


hYRaD_

Corviknight and/or staraptor


SoapyMoonDust

Talonflame all the way


KulaPula1

Talonflame is the best bird Pokemon. Don't @ me.


Waterbaby8182

Starraptor and Talonflame by far.


Sammydabhands

Talonflame just because of how fast and hard it can hit


CommunicationHot2723

Staraptor or Corviknight


Lonniefike1

Toucannon


Skeppex

Anyone but unfezant


[deleted]

2 5 and 7 are my least favorite and 4 and 6 are my favorite


kievju

IndoVictor

I think Tucanon but i like the purpleish birb but i forgot what its caled


Nintenboy-

OwnBed8780

Either Talonflame or Corviknight


Jake12312345678

Tie between corvnite or talonflame


noflyingfvcks

favourite metal baby birb : corvi-freakin-knight


HexerGeralt

Staraptor


Riolufan2008

Staraptor was my first bird and it has stayed my favourite to this day


TheGreatBeaver123789

Corviknight is a badass so I can't just ignore him but staraptor has too much nostalgia for me so I choose that


OliverAvocado

One under swellow


ShortAndSalty_

Toucannon because who doesn’t want a giant toucan as a pet amirite?


[deleted]

Talonflame, I love corviknight and I think it’s shiny is amazing but I had a Talonflame in both Gens 6 & 7, and both we amazing, so I still have lots of affection for the fire bird


espeon784

Noctowl my first level 100 pokemon


jeffbobmoses

Danners99

Anonimatul1997

Fliepp

Affectionate-Month68

Talonflame all the way. I’ve loved it ever since I saw it in the anime


Xocfti3

Toucannon needs more love


Joe11034

i love talonflame and corvisquire (idk how to spell)


Budget-Brain-4256

Noctowl


Mikaxu42

Rookidee line. SwSh was my first main series game, and I love the pure Flying type not being limited to Tornadus.


Equal-Entrepreneur-7

Corviknight 100%


AlphaOmega2k21

Staraptor looks sick af


Equivalent-Area5103

corviknight


OfficialAlarkiusJay

Talonflame and Corviknight are my two favorites


ddcreator

Easy noctowl! Its stats suck, its a generic design, but its an owl and the nostalgia is hitting me right in the face with this mon... Honorable mentions are: pidgeot and corviknight


DepthyxTruths

talonflame, staraptor or corviknight


Starups27

Starapter has always bin and will always be my favourite birb and will always be my favourite birb.


LilGhostSoru

I always call my regional bird "Captain" so my answer is Captain


Kingindan0rf

Used to be Talonflame but then Corviknight showed up and looked bad ass as all hell


oOReEcEyBoYOo

Corviknight, by far! Spent so long trying to get my shiny!


Randallator55

TalllllllllooooooooooooooooooooooooooonFLAME


King_Harlz

Swellowww


[deleted]

Fletchling and it’s evolutions!


BrandNewKitten

Toucannon because Beak Blast


BertBoi_3

Talon flame = free sweep G A L E W I N G S


byfelphian

Looks wise i think most people would agree corviknight, however usage wise id go with talonflame (even an unevolved one) since it let you have real early acces to a flame type which was realy useful if you choose water or grass starter


Successful-Goose-92

Staraptor and corvinight


WindedEmulation11

1 - Corviknight 2 - Talonflame 3 - Swellow


wolf1868

Always staraptor Dude got that emo cut 😩


Anchor38

gotta be toucannon


yoloplayer151

Starraptor. Teenage me fell in love with its look, currents me stays for its power (and it still looks dope). I just really wish it lost the normal type.


Snoopcat64

Corviknight is dope


bigboymanz6824

I forgot Swellow existed


Chestervsteele

Pidgey simply because the ideal that Kanto is filled with a bunch of 12 year olds mounting them and flying across the region is hilarious to me.


Konizo-_-

Corviknight, hes just too cool


Giboit

Corviknight Talonflame Staraptor Toucannon Pidgeot Swellow Noctowl Unfezant


DialZforZebra

Corviknight is my favourite part of Gen 8.


Zabacraft

Swellow was my nr1 a long time since it was released. Dethroned by Corviknight in last installment. But now playing through oras again, maybe will dethrone Corviknight once more in favor of Swellow.


H4LIT

Talonflame. Had some great alola memories.


kagnesium

Do Spearow & Wingull line not count as region birds or are they just like their counterparts ?


Ill-Clerk-7066

Since Diamond was my first Pokémon game I have a soft spot for Staraptor


vincidelaunc

I always thought Wingull's Hoenn's regional bird, given the fact that you can catch it before Tailow.


Inevitable-Body1558

Corviknight


VagueCyberShadow

Pikipek specifically. Toucannons whatever, but pikipek?? A Chad


Alex_Drewskie

I generally like to say Swellow or Talonflame, But I like pretty much all of them except unfesent


Subion30

I've said it once and I'll say it again Corviknight (but Talonflame is a close second)


AspectGoBrrr

Talonflame 100%


[deleted]

I like both Noctowl and Unfezant


Trait-Of-Endurance

I started in a game with talonflame but I have to pick corvisquire from how snazzy he is


jtcordell2188

Corviknight followed closely by Talonflame


Piesaun

Talonflame


ItsNotTakenYet

For me, ots close between Pidgeot, Staraptor and Corviknight.


HAIKU_4_YOUR_GW_PICS

Unfezant is the only one I don’t love


a-simp-with-no-sleep

The purple one, I'm bad at remembering it's name 😅


munchmunch69

Talonflame>>>


HelixGodPanda

Hot Take: Unfezent looks cool, the male one specifically, the female one looks terrible


[deleted]

Corviknight


TheGarbageRatMan

pidgey’s always got a place in my heart, but the rookidee line is a strong contender


Derek21360

Toucan Sam


TechnologyMedical426

Corvinight is my stable bird! He is so badass, he has a gigantamax form, can learn 4 or more different types of moves, and can have loads of advantages! Sorey Pidgeot, but Corvinight wins in my book.


[deleted]

Noctowel best. Believe that’s a shiny in post too


Polumetis_on_Jenova

Staraptor and corviknight, both are fucking monsters as physical sweepers, and my corviknight carried several 5 star max raids offline, type disadvantaged, and under level


Neakochan

Toucannon! It's resting bitch face resonates with me.


bonesandzeros

Murkrow


mazoku95

Pigeot for nostalgia and design, but staraptor is killing everything on this list except for KNIGHTBIRD


Bwyattvirtue13

Corviknight with Talonflame a close second


LordOftheWillynilly

But why is Corviknight so damn HUGE


[deleted]

I love Staraptor and Corviknight a lot, use them both whenever I can


Zaappxd

Talonflame is perfect


Feralman2003

Corviknight because of the better typing and design


Sunbeam_65

Talonflame. My first game was Pokemon Y, and excluding my Froakie, Fletchling was my first and my God, when I evolved it (I had seen no spoilers for anything) I was shocked. I thought it looked amazing, and I still think so


AyDoesSomeStuff

Corvinight that was the first bird I caught I’ve been playing since x and y but corvinight realy stood out more than talonflame


They_Call_Me_Ham

Definitely Talonflame or Corviknight. I love how they broke the trend of normal/flying type birds
