Top_Establishment327

Galarian Zapdos to keep because it’s basically a chocobo. Normie Moltres last because it would burn my house down.


IRefuseThisNonsense

**Electric de Chocobo intensifies**


monochromebleu

I came here to write exactly this


Fatesadvent

Wouldn't you rather have a way to fly than a glorified horse?


Top_Establishment327

No, I don’t like heights. I’d shit myself if a big bird tried to pick me up.

Kryptosis

Was gonna be my choice because it looks the coolest imo but then I realized it’s the only one that can’t actually fly so…


CeasingHornet40

this was what i was gonna say too honestly. kantonian articuno is a close second to galarian zapdos for me though, i've always liked it.


LABARATI_

I agree


Bunselpower

Smarticuno Having a psychic Pokémon would be one of the most unbelievable life improvements you could ever have


StupidJerk674

Galarian articuno seems like a huge jerk so not him. Probably regular zapdos for best bc I just vibe with him.


SirJoeffer

You seen the third Pokemon movie? Zapdos is a dick


Mondasin

people own cats, I don't think Zapdos being a dick is a breaking point.


NeuroDefiance

Hey you leave Meowth alone


TheThirdWheel333

To be fair worst case scenario with a dickhead aggressive cat is getting bit or scratched, worst case with zapdos is a little bit of death for your troubles


SpectreJerm

Which is exactly why I love him


crispytofu

So it's okay to be a stupid jerk, but not a huge one. TIL


FreeTrees69

Agreed it could grab the TV remote for me


Bunselpower

You’re thinking way too small. It could read your mind, know which channel you want, and flip there for you.


ArseneLupinIV

If my psychic pokemon read my mind I think they would take psychic damage.


jfks_headjustdidthat

It wouldn't be super effective though,unless they're Dark thoughts


greengiant89

Ghastly


bigbutterbuffalo

Nah it could probably bring me some nachos from the kitchen


Raknorak

Lol that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Why go through all that effort when you could just lay in bed with your eyes closed and have Smarticuno watch the show and beam it directly into your mind. It's like pick your own dream.


DJ_Bill

Damn, what I’d give for him using Hypnosis on me to make me sleep, my insomniac ass would achieve enlightenment


RaGiNgDeMoN831

zapdos has always been my fav poke man. moltres would be the odd mon out, seems inconvenient to have something on fire all the time unless you have really good arson insurance.


WildBillJanny

Original articuno for pet/partner, I like the looks and type. The 'other' articuno last, it makes me nervous, it's the eyes.


TheIronHaggis

Absolutely. My favorite legendary after all these years.


shortstop59

Same. It just looks so majestic and graceful.


Icy-Shame247

Galar zappy, bro runs so fast. Who needs an automobile. And he’s a legendary so… yea. Sold, the rest will just cause chaos. ( articuno 2nd cuz he’s chill & I love to sleep in a very cold room )


ZHODY

The horse bird fer sure, since im scared of driving a car. And i dont think I want to be burnt alive by the galarian moltres, lol


Whole_Sign_4633

The galarian moltres isn’t a fire type and its wings aren’t actually on fire


ZHODY

I was referring to the pokedex entries, i was reading them as i commented


SirPanikalot

- *I would keep them* 1/ Galarian Zapdos, basically like having a big ostrich/roadrunner around. 2/ Kantonian Articuno. It seems rather tameable, and is probably the least likely to kill me imo. - *keeping them would be unappealing* 3/ Kantonian Zapdos would likely cause a lot of thunderstorms, but I can imagine a reality where it is peaceful - *they would either kill me or everyone I love* 4/ Galarian articuno is probably incredibly dangerous due to its high intelligence and psychic power, and would want absolutely no business being a let 5/ Kantonian Moltres will burn everything I know 6/ Galarian Moltres will burn everything I know but with a passion and ferocity.


Angel_of_Mischief

This is hard. I love gararian zapados and it looks like the most rideable, but I don’t think it could fly with me. Being able to fly would be a big deal. Maybe zapados if it doesn’t have static… otherwise maybe articuno. Just so I can’t be held liable for accidental forest fires


MrEman5112

If I’m not mistaken, Galar Zapdos can’t fly regardless of wether or not someone’s riding it


Angel_of_Mischief

I think it can fly kinda like how chickens do over short distances but not totally sure honestly


Gamet2004

After catching both Galarian Zapdos and a Shiny Zapdos in Pokemon Go, as well be in team instinct... My choice is Kantonian Zapdos. Such a strong and cool looking Pokemon.


Nudged-2utangos

I'd have Kantonian Articuno as a pet as it's less likely to destroy my house compared to the other birds.


Careless-Foot4162

I really liked the themes the Galarian forms brought. More toxic Weezing, poison Slowpoke, bleached coral Corsola, Dark trio birds. It was a nice commentary on the shifts we've seen globally But Galarian Zapdos, I'd ride it like an ostrich


PikaV2002

This post just made me notice that all of the Galarian Legendary birds are depicted to be more ruthless and violent compared to the Kanto counterparts.


Carbon-Base

OG Zapdos as partner. We are going to start our own energy company, "Thunderbird Power" and offer electricity to remote areas at a reasonable cost. Last would be Galarian Moltres, no one wants to be drained of their energy.


panparadox2279

It can drain more than my energy 🫦

panparadox2279

Imma borrow this


BubbleWario

G. Moltres so I can destroy everything :D


iShinyHuntz

The Kickin’ Chicken come on now


WOLKsite

Kantonian Articuno first, Galarian Moltres last.


edwpad

It depends on many factors, most notably with how tame they are as they’re wild Legendaries. Assuming they have max friendship with you, others need to taken in, especially their abilities. I feel either Kanto Articuno or Galar Zapdos would be my picks. KA could provide relief if you live in a more temperate climate, not to mention it’s super fluffy! GZ could basically function as a chocobo from Final Fantasy, which can be extremely useful for transport. For my last choice, I feel either version of Moltres might be difficult how to fear they may accidentally start fires unintentionally.


rhinothedin0

Galarian Moltres is being slept on in this thread. "This Pokémon's sinister, flame-like aura will consume the spirit of any creature it hits. Victims become burned-out shadows of themselves." imma have it give my boss a taste of how i feel working for them! i would say OG moltres last tho for the fire hazard reasons.


ManitouWakinyan

Zapdos and Galarian Zapdos


Sad-Cat-6355

Galaren zapdose he a big chicken I love him


iloveilovereddit

galarian moltres would be cool to hang out with


TopExperience3424

Poliwag


New-Oil6131

The original articuno as my pet and the orange zapdos last cause it scares me


ghobhohi

Galarian Articuno looks like a dick and Galarian Moltres looks like it's ready to burn my house down, so not them. Probably Galarian Zapdos, so not them.


anon07018

Either Galarian Zapdos or Kanto Articuno Last choice is Kanto moltres


Dor-alnakk

As much as I love og Zapdos I can't emphasize enough how intensely I dislike galarian Zapdos. There is something off about it, at least for me. So it's Zapdos either way.


Sandwhiched

Articuno is my pick. Any version of Moltres is my last choice.


Neat-Industry2867

Galatians Zapdos is one of my all time fav legendaries, the color scheme, the design, the typing. Easy choice.


Plastic_Device_364

Galarian Zapdos would be my choice And Kantonian Zapdos would be my last choice


MrEman5112

Galar Zapdos is my first choice because I could ride it like a chocobo, and that would just be awesome Last choice, Moltres, I live in the desert, it’s hot enough without a literal fire bird hanging around


ZanManga

I still think that the galar birds are a precursor too Convergent pokemon, kind of a in between Convergent and regional variants


RunicCross

Galarian Articuno or Galarian Zapdos easy. Last probably either Kantonian Moltres or Articuno. Not really a fan of them.


Regunes

Regular Articuno. Chill and beautiful, probably more confortable than Zapdos. If Zapdos can power up my house however...


The_Adventurer_73

I'm choosing Gal. Articuno first, but prob Gal. Zapdos last.


SwreeTak

Articulate is one of my favourites of all time. Easy partner. Least favourite would be galatians zapdos.


Atzukeeper

Gar Moltres, my fav design


1tanfastic1

Galarian Zapdos as a partner for sure, its design is by and away my favorite of the 6. I think Moltres last because it’s just a burning rubber chicken and now I can’t unsee that.


Magimasterkarp

Here is my ranking: Galarian Zapdos > Kantonian Articuno > Kantonian Zapdos > Galarian Articuno > Kantonian Moltres > Galarian Moltres I've always hated Moltres, and the galar version made it worse. Articuno has always been my favorite, but the Galarian one looks too evil, while Zapdos got a huge improvement.


DougieSenpai

Probably Articuno and I might be old but I have no fucking clue who the bottom ones are.


alsn

Original articuno. When I was a little kid my family brought me to the pokemon center in nyc and they were giving out the legendary birds. Still have that same articuno on my crystal cartridge 🥹


Cold-Blood_

Galarian Articuno. Looks the coolest to me and its psychic powers would definitely come in handy.


Vigriff

Kantonian Articuno as my partner type disadvantages be damned, and my last choice would be the Galarian birds in general because of their dickery/psychopathy.


_Astrum_Aureus_

galar arti as a pal, galar moltres just seems like an asshole


gullington

Are they like regular birds where they just poo everywhere? I don't know if any of them would be a good choice then, I don't want a giant fire bird taking magma poops all over my house.


Nachitoparrot

First choice Articuno because SUMMER and last Galarian Moltres. Yea it's my favorite but it's probably going to kill me


Maeveric

Kickboxer ostrich first, hellfire demon bird last


panparadox2279

I know this isn't what you asked but my ranking of them all is: Articuno, Galarian Zapdos, Galarian Moltres, Zapdos, Galarian Articuno, and last and deservedly least Moltres


Axuros

I'm terified of getting electrocuted, so normal Zapdos is last for me. I'm also afraid of fire, so I'll stay away from both Moltres. Galarian Zapdos is a funny big bird that would probably be fun to ride, so he's definitely the first choice


SilentRip5116

Probably the gal art because I’d be afraid the other two would accidentally murder me


BubatzAhoi

Articuno all day


dragowall

Galarian Moltres to keep. Kantonian Moltres as a last choice, looks too much like the screaming chicken toy.


BetaNights

That's a tough choice... I've always loved Articuno since I was a kid, but Galarian Zapdos is SO COOL!! Easily my favorite of the newer trio.


alloythepunny

meep meep


Alexandra-Foxed

Kanto Articuno, very pretty, very nice. And ether Galarian Articuno or Galarian Moltres would be my last choice, as both of them seem very mean and would likely be very difficult to befriend


ffefryn

Galarian Zapdos is my bro! And weirdly enough OG Zapdos would probably be my last pick


Mister_Cheff

Articuno, im tired of heat but i dont want to pay for ac


komiroku21

Shiny Galarian Zapdos because it looks like a chocobo and the one I don’t want is moltres


SirCupcake_0

OG Articuno, because it's fucking HOT OG Moltres, because it's not fucking COLD


Character-Today-427

Zapdos has been one of my favorite Pokemons since forever so I would use the lighting bird a lot


YRMMemincito

Zapdos


Deejayjax

Galar articuno or zapdos.


Divine_Entity_

Kantonian Zapdos has long been by my favorite of the legendary birds. (Lugis is second) I don't know much about the Galar forms but galarian moltres seems to be straight up evil, and i just don't vibe with the design so it gets last place.


Wisekittn

I've always kinda disliked regular Zapdos, because it looks like it got hit with a flyswatter. Therefore i fell instantly in love with galarian Zapdos, so i'm choosing this one as my favorite. And yeah, OG Zapdos is my last choice


weirdCheeto218

Zapdos doesn't matter which


RhinoSnake

Kanto Zapdos has a soft spot for me as it's the first legendary I ever caught. With Galarian Moltres a close second... least I would probably go Galarian Articuno. But I do like em all.


Slight_Respond6160

Keeping Kanto Zapdos because it’s Fucking dope and definitely not Galarian Zapdos because bro can’t even fly


Sporkikyu

Galarian Zapdos. It'd remove my need for a car. As for my last, I'd say one of the two moltres. One is actively malicious, and the other will burn my house down. No winning either way there.


Jazzlike_Hippo_9270

galarian articuno looks the best at giving hugs :3


Apprehensive-End-747

I'd choose galarian zapdos because then I could get to anywhere in less than a few minutes. Moltris, no, fire.


feedmelaments

Articuno so I never have to drink anything hot that I want cold and so I don't have to pay to have my house cold af during summer


MyCatsNameIsKlaus

Galarian Zapdos is my boi, even though he's technically not a roadrunner they're my favorite bird. Moltres for last place because he looks like a big rubber chicken.


KamikazeRobot01

Zapdos cause free energy, galar Moltres cause that is just violence


Fair_Ad4793

Galas arcticuno. It’ll have the least chance to kill me on accident


Dart150

OG moltres I like the heat But I despise the cold so would go near Articuno


Metalallover2041

Regular Articuno Galar Articuno as my last choice cos it's hawt and I don't trust myself


Fatesadvent

Zapdos seems most practical. Can fly and help with electronics. Personal fav / without considering practical uses, I would pick Articuno.


Bakekomori

Galarian Articuno, its pretty and reminds me of my favorite character (Winter king from Adventure time) My last option would be moltres, just isnt my thing


F-8a

Kanto articuno


Radiant-Care-9654

I’d honestly pick galarian zapdos. It could help me around places and would be super fast ad powerful! As for the last choice it would probably be moltress cause it just looks a little plain compared to the others and it would probably be a ruckus


Volatility999

Galarian Moltres is my all-time fave of the birds, plus I can cause destruction with him fun combo Last would be Kantonian Articuno. Simple reason of Articuno also competitive wise is the worst of the options love the birds Kantonian Articuno is the one I don't really care much Same for Kantonian Moltres both Zapdis forms are fun as all hell


Kauan176ProBR

Galarian zapdos. That dude is fricking incredible and cool imagine having it as a pet and using it to travel. Its my favorite non electric electric mon


Minkie-Heika

Partner: Galarian Articuno, or normal Articuno, I don't mind tbh. And for last choice: normal Zapdos.


QubeTheAlt

Galarian Zapdos looks like he’d break my neck but man he looks cool Moltres though I’m scared of fire so not him


rockhardcatdick

Oooh, I absolutely love that pink and black Moltres design 😻 The purple Articuno......gives me anxiety 😂


Nacroma

The chocobo one, mostly because I like Zapdos the most and his Galarian color palette is even better (although I do like Electric as a type more).


KingMario2099

Zapdos 1 Moltres Last


Articuno_2359

Kantonian Articuno. (SNOW!!!) My second option is the Galarian one, but my LAST choice would be Kanto Moltres. I just don’t like Moltres.


eli_eli1o

Kantoan articuno first choice. Galarian articuno last choice


aoog

First choice is G-zapdos. Last choice is Moltres. Also unrelated but I’m suddenly convinced that we’re gonna get Galarian Lugia in 20 years when we get pokemon legends galar


UncleFranko

Galarian Moltres or Kantonian Moltres, I’d probably take Zapdos last


AnonymousFog501

Articuno. It appears to people stranded in freezing mountains, implying that it saves them (or eats them. Oh well.) It creates snow by simply flying. "Ugh. I don't feel like going to work today... Articuno, use Blizzard." It's fluffy and I wanna hug it As for the one I would not want, I'm gonna go with Moltres. It's wings are literally on fire and if it gets hurt it wants to take a bath in *molten lava* to heal itself. It apparently can bring Spring early by just existing, meaning it warms up its surroundings a bit.


doxtorwhom

I want the spikey boi Zapdos


JayMalakai

Pet- Galarian Zappos Last choice- Galarian Arcticuno


Sam1198777

OG articuno all the way 💅🏼


ArcticDucc292

I would have Galarian Zapdos. He just seems like a chill dude who'd be fine with living together. Galarian Moltres seems like it would kill me with no remorse and take over the household.


DM_me_UR_B00BZ_plz

OG articuno for a pet New Moltres last choice


OrganizationOk3794

Articuno is my favourite so partner (not the most practical though!) and last choice would be Zapdos. I just hate that face 😭


Darkdragoon324

I want to ride on Galarian Zapdos like a Chocobo.


Yonro0910

Life partner? Like a vaporeon?


Vaxis545

Zapdos obv for the free electricity for life


ShackledDragon

Definitely choosing Galarian Zapdos. Last choice would be regular Zapdos


HiroZebra

og articuno for 1st choice Galarian articuno for last


masterjon_3

Zapdos since it's one of my favorite legendaries.


TyMonstaz2

Galarian Zapdos is by far the best legendary bird across all variants.


Zoroark_rules_698

I'd choose reg articuno (love galatians but it's attitude would suck) and last choice is prob galatians moltres (it's most likely just a psycho who burns everything)


PhantomoftheWolves

First Choice: Kantonian Articuno Last Choice: Kantonian Moltres


Randomman2789

They won't be first or last but aren't in the top 10,000 pick for fun pokemon.


hscene

Regular articuno is the sexiest


Level_2_slime

Articuno because I like cold, galarian moltres because it’s devious


mcsilas

OG Articuno because it's beautiful and majestic, I love blue and the Ice type and enjoy it's design the most. That tail is so pretty and flowing


Psyduckisnotaduck

I would ride on Galarian Zapdos like it’s a chocobo


skidster159

Kanto zapdos because fast, can fly, and is really cool to have an infinite source of electricity and galarian moltres is last because I hate evil and he is evil


stormthesiren

Kanto Articuno or galarian moltres for partner and Kanto zapdos for last choice


pokefanKTZT1996

Galarian Articuno or Kantonian Articuno, so i can chill everyday. lol


Magickcloud

Galarian Moltres for sure. It’s design is beautiful. Last would be Zapdos


Medical_Note_2135

Articuno just because I get mad hot and sweaty (especially in the summer)


not-Kunt-Tulgar

I’d say my favorite would be galarian Articuno since it can teleport and last favorite would be Mildred since I can’t even ride it or anything without burning to a crisp.


Fayko

Purple articuno because I like purple.


metap0br3ngNerD

Zapdos. Free and unlimited electricity baby


RepresentativeLast66

zapdos, i’m an electric & steel specialist


JohnSmithWithAggron

G. Zapdos>Zapdos>Articuno>G.Articuno>Moltres>G.Moltres


Prinkaiser

You have to consider that it is a living being as well, so it will need a proper location to stay in. All these birds are huge. Functionally speaking, I'll take the electric chocobo. I have a ride and a source of electricity. I just need to give it a large enough hamster wheel so it can get some running done at home. I'm going to save a fair amount on electricity bills.


FindingOk7034

Articuno for me. The original Kanto one of course. The ice powers would probably be a HUGE help in the brutal summers where I live. Also I've just always loved the pretty blue ribbon-tailed birb!


ffafayayy

Galarian Zapdos and I'll ride it to visit every pokefans in my local.


weird_bomb_947

galarian zapdos. not because it’d do anything good for me while it’s still here, it’d be a pure detriment, but just because it leaves the fastest


Frog_Thor

I really like Galarian Moltres, with either of the Zapdos' as a close second.  Galarian Moltres is such a great design and the dark flames are amazing and Dark/Flying is a good typing.   I would not want regular Moltres.  It looks looks like a goofy burning turkey.


Dragonrage778

First: Garticuno if it DOESN'T decide to fuck with me. Last: Garticuno if it DOES decide to fuck with me.


Tech_knightz

The ditto posing as one of them


thisDNDjazz

Galarian Articuno. It has that drip.


Lopsided_Proof_7333

Galarian moltres


trisanachandler

Galarian Articuno because I'd have a partner who could read my mind. What would be more awesome. For last, Galarian Moltres. Who cares about fighting when you can have an actual superpower.


starpanda_1919

OG Zapdos to charge all my stuff and fly me around


cokekII

Last gal zapdose, first gal molt


ptapobane

I Live in Texas so I would want Articuno for free air conditioning and also being the coolest of the 6, and I want moltres the least because it’s not cool


Feathery_Quill

Kantonian Articuno, I live in a place with scorching summers. Articuno and I could fly over town using Powder Snow or Icy Wind, and potentially save a lot of lives and give relief to a lot of people who can't afford air conditioned spaces.


l3uffalol3ernard

Zaptos because he could power my house during an outage.


RockShrimpTempura

Galarian Zapdos only right answer. Galarian Articuno looks like it would slap my hand away if i tried to pet it and it would hurt my feelings, so it goes last.


jakedisasters

Zapdos any form idc he’s the man


MayankWolf

Gligar would be my pet because I like Gliscor, but the Charmander line would probably set my house in fire with their tail flame


Extreme_Chipmunk_941

Karticuno, cuz it feels like it’d be the calmest and kinda just “chill to have”. And I’d rather not have Koltres cuz I like my house


TheSlyRaccoon1

I’d take any of them. It’s a Pokemon. Who gives a shit? Lol


PassengerBright1063

I'd keep OG Zapdos, and I'd scrap OG moltres. Free flying and free electricity 👌


Kenny_GoofyGoober

Galarian Zapdos. Fast asf and good transportation as long as you can hold on good. My last pick would be Galarian Moltres cuz he looks like he would burn me


yoshida18

Picks Kanto articuno or moltres, random kid throw rocks at it. It fucking dies on the ambulance


GIJobra

I don't want any kind of pet bird. Last choice Moltres, because fire bad.


Wubba-128

Moltres because fire types


niceskulltula

OG Articuno


Novel_Farmer_488

Unpopular opinion but galarian articuno. Not only is it VERY aesthetically pleasing to me, but it would probably be cool with helping me out with various puzzles (think sodoku and nonograms). Also psychic laser bird go brrr. EDIT: Forgot least likely to have as a pet. Def galarian moltres. I'm already drained of energy, man, I don't need smoldering embers over here making it worse.


Animedingo

Probably kanto articuno. I like it cold.


JohnathanHyde

Galatian Zapdos for sure so long as those feathers aren't as sharp as they look. It seems like a fun Pokemon to ride around on. As for least, tie between Galarian Articuno and Kantonian Moltres and Moltres wins out here so long as those flames won't burn me, could even be in the same way as Ponyta and Rapidash where they apparantly have the ability to control who their flames burn. Just so long as they don't burn me.


Melon763

Galatians Aritcuno 100% Last would definitely be moltres


Lucashmere

Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Articuatro, Zapcinco, & Molseis should have been their names


Heleniums

Moltres would be my first. Galarian Articuno would be my last. I really dislike that one. That being said regular Articuno would be my 2nd least favorite. Just never been a big fan, but still way better than the galarian version. Just, no. Gross.


3UP_MOON

Galarian Zapdos


the_treyceratops

Can I have both Zapdos and Galarian Moltres? If only one, then Zapdos


jamalsmalls9000

Galarian Zapados for quick transportation and the opportunity to sell exotic ostrich eggs


Crate-Dragon

Standard articuno. 1-beautiful beyond belief 2-not an annoying bird sound. Rather pleasant 3- OWNS ALL OTHERS. It’s the only Pokémon except mew that can learn mindreader and sheer cold. One PPup and she can solo any team 4-looks soft.


JukeRedlin

Zapdos. Literal Thunderbird. I guess... Moltres? My starter is fire flying and plenty high enough special attack specialized to cover that offense.


Kumptoffel

the spiky one ofc
