Best Designed Gen 2 Pokemon

Gen 1 and 2 are usually the ones that are known to have the best pokemon, I personally prefer Gen 2.
The Top Ten
1 Houndoom

It looks absolutely terrifying, very worthy of the typing it was given. I could see this having a 3rd form that looks like a Cerberus.

Houndoom is a dog wearing skeletons on his back. How does he not have a cool design?

An evil wolf with a skeleton on his back!

2 Scizor Scizor, known in Japan as Hassam, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. It is a Bug - Steel type, and was first introduced in the Gen 2 games (Gold and Silver) in 1999.

Well, they managed to make an amazing looking pokemon look even cooler. The metallic coating of it and the fact that it's blades are replaced with claws make it look even more awesome than before.

3 Umbreon Umbreon, known in Japan as Blacky, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

The best looking eeveelution so far. The simplicity and slightly mysterious air about it make it a really well designed pokemon in general

4 Xatu

I really like the theme of this one, that being some sort of tribal bird. The color palette is especially striking.

Are there eyes on his nipples?

5 Skarmory Skarmory, known in Japan as Airmd, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

For a design that's essentially noting more than bird that is metal, they did an extremely good job of making it look unique and interesting.

6 Ho-oh Ho-Oh, known in Japan as Houou, is a Legendary Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

I find this to be what Moltres should have looked like. This is just such a beautiful and majestic pokemon.

Ho-oh is my fourth favorite pokemon

7 Suicune Suicune is a pure water-type Legendary Pokemon introduced in the games Pokemon Gold and Silver (Generation II). It is the mascot of the video game Pokemon Crystal. According to the Pokedex, Suicune is capable of purifying bodies of dirty water wherever it goes. It is part of the Legendary beasts trio revived by Ho-Oh after they were caught up by the fire in the Brass Tower after it being struck by... read more

It's such an elegant looking pokemon in every respect, but still maintains the look of power that all legendaries should have.

8 Ampharos

Why is the mega on the picture?

9 Tyranitar Tyranitar, known in Japan as Bangiras, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

I personally don't like this design as much as most people, but it definitely looks cool.

10 Smeargle

One of the best humanoid pokemon, as it looks more human than most of the ones made to resemble humans. I find it to be a very cute design in general as well.

The Contenders

12 Misdreavus
13 Totodile Totodile, known in Japan as Waninoko, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

By far the most adorable looking pokemon of the generation, and the only starter pokemon of it he generation that looks decent in my eyes.

14 Lugia Lugia, known in Japan as ルギア (Rugia), is a Legendary Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. First introduced in Generation II, it's the mascot of the game Pokémon Silver. It serves as the master of the legendary birds trio, and is part of the tower tuo along with Ho-Oh.

16 Typhlosion Typhlosion, known in Japan as Bakphoon, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

If Xatu is here, I think Natu should be here too, I love his green color.
