Competition: First Annual Archenskov Award for Best Bird

Running
First Annual Archenskov Award for Best Bird

Rules and Grading

We're looking for the Best Bird of Season 35, but since they're all the best birds, we'll have to settle for the most used and most successful birds. Submit your top bird Pokemon. Placement will be based on Battle points * Total Win Rate to try to keep things a little more interesting than just "whoever plays the most wins." Ties will be broken by Total Battles.

For the purposes of this competition, the following Pokemon are birds:

  • Decidueye (available as a starter for new accounts)
  • Talonflame (available as a starter for new accounts)
  • Articuno
  • Cramorant
  • Dodrio
  • Empoleon
  • Ho-Oh
  • Moltres
  • Psyduck
  • Sirfetch'd
  • Zapdos

How to Submit

Go to your Trainer Info screen, then select Favorite Pokemon and make sure to check the Current Season Data box. It should look like this:

Example

Submit a screenshot of that view, scrolling down as necessary to get to your top bird.
