9. Quaxly

Paldea’s water-type starter is a gay icon. Look at how it swoops its feathers/hair that turns into a hat. Quaxly is styling and profiling at every turn of Scarlet and Violet’s open world, and is the voice for all the gay Pokémon fans who need to be heard. When it waddles over to you, you can hear “Here comes the hurricane, bitch. Katrina, Katrina, Katrina” playing off in the distance in time with each step. What a legend.
