Greninja Wins Pokémon of the Year 2020 Vote - Full List of Best Pokemon
Pokémon Day is officially underway, so The Pokémon Company and Google have revealed the results of this year's "Pokémon of the Year" vote. Greninja takes the top spot in 2020.
The Pokémon Company revealed the top 10 Pokémon of 2020 in a short video recapping each entrant. It's an interesting list as it includes some of the usual suspects from past years (Charizard/Lucario) but also has some notable omissions including the franchise's mascot, Pikachu.
It should be noted that Mimikyu, the Ghost and Fairy-type Pokémon that imitates Pikachu to get more love, made the list at number three.
Here's are the top 10 Pokémon of the Year for 2020:
- Greninja
- Lucario
- Mimikyu
- Charizard
- Umbreon
- Sylveon
- Garchomp
- Rayquaza
- Gardevoir
- Gengar
It's no surprise that Greninja, the Water-type starter of the Kalos region, grabbed the top spot. Not only was it a popular choice when it was revealed for Pokémon X and Y, but it also had a major role in the Pokémon anime, almost winning the Kalos League alongside Ash.
Greninja is even a playable character in the Super Smash Bros. series, so it has lots of exposure outside the main series games.
