Top 5 Totem Pokemon

As I play through Ultra Moon - and I know, I'm so slow - I begin to contemplate what I like and dislike about the new games compared to Sun and Moon. One of the things that sticks out is the Totem Pokémon. Some are new, some are the same, but all have been buffed. It's clear to me that the difficulty level has definitely been increased since the first two games. That being said, there are some Totem Pokémon that I really like despite how hard they were to get past. So, here is my list of my Top 5 Totem Pokémon. Please note that I will consider Totems from all 4 games for this list. Here we go!

5. Totem Wishiwashi

My favorite Totem cutscene has to be the one where Totem Wishiwashi appears. The moment is so cool yet terrifying. That's why I had to put Wishiwashi on the list.

4. Totem Araquanid

If there is one thing that took the last entry's cutscene to a whole new level, it's the Araquanid. A giant spider coming out of the water instead of the big fish you were expecting was a perfect touch. It kept a moment exciting and terrifying even though the trial is basically the same. On top of that, it knows Aurora Beam which not only destroys your flying types but also isn't in its moveset (including TMs). Great job on that one, Game Freak. I totally didn't see it coming!

3. Totem Mimikyu

Yes, the adorable yet unsettling Mimikyu is also on this list. The trial itself is one of my favorites since it includes a rather creepy Pikachu shrine. Who knew getting a photo would prove to be so difficult? Its secondary Fairy typing only adds to the difficulty but that doesn't make it any less enjoyable.

2. Totem Ribombee

When I played Pokémon Moon, I was a little annoyed and relieved when Mina didn't have a trial. That was fixed in Ultra Moon and I was so happy to see that a giant Ribombee was her Totem Pokémon. I used a Cutiefly when I played Pokémon Moon and I fell in love with it and its evolution. This Totem was also a bit difficult but still so cool.

1. Totem Togedemaru

I am not going to lie - I was ecstatic to see this Totem Pokémon appear. Togedemaru is my favorite Alolan Pokémon so seeing a giant one is wonderful. It's cuteness overload!!

Well, that does it for my list. I hope you enjoyed this list and will follow me so you don't miss out on upcoming posts. Do you agree or disagree with this list? Leave me a comment below telling me which Totems you liked or disliked the most. I look forward to reading your comments. Have a great weekend and as always, keep on gaming!!!
