"What was a Pokemon that you were completely shocked to find the first time you saw it in the wild?"

I have two examples. First was when I found Tropius for the first time in Pokemon Emerald - I already knew Tropius existed before I got that game, but that thing was so much cooler once I accidentally came upon it by accident. A gigantic flying palm tree dinosaur with a banana wattle was so much more imposing with its amazing cry and animation.Second one was in Black and White 2 when I had a total "what the hell did my game glitch out" moment because I found Milotic while fishing in rippling water in Route 1. I had no idea what I'd find in the rippling water, but I just had this very intuitive Pokemon trainer's hunch that I might find some weird stuff if I tried fishing into the rippling water instead of surfing into it (later I also found out you could get Kingdra the same way from the nearby Route 17). I got Milotic after just a few tries and was super happy when one came out with a good nature, because I'd never used one before and obviously Feebas was the worst thing ever to catch in the previous two generations. I made really great use of Milotic in the Pokemon World Tournament as a Scald tank, and it remains one of my favorite Pokemon. via /r/pokemon https://ift.tt/2NDp39Z
