Question of the Week: What is your favorite Baby Pokémon?

MMC-QOTW-2026-09-28_baby-pokemon.jpg

Introduced in Generation II, Baby Pokémon are certainly not battle powerhouses, but they are adorable! There's a total of 19 — do you have favorites among them? The large majority were introduced in Generations II and IV, but we've also seen an addition as recently as Gen VIII. Bulbapedia's page about them is a good place to brush up on your Baby Pokémon knowledge if you need to.

I'm also curious about what people think about the concept in general. Some of these Pokémon have specific requirements to actually get when breeding (Incense) in most games and the pay-off is relatively low — some have Egg Moves exclusive to the Baby Pokémon that you may want to utilize.

Personally, I'm a big fan of Togepi, Cleffa, Magby and Mime Jr.! I will say that in the main series I'm not a huge fan of the concept, just because of the breeding requirements and low stats when you're training them. But I appreciate many of the designs and feel like they help flesh out the Pokémon world.

Cleffa and Togepi have always been my favorite baby Pokemon. I also really love Happiny. Azurill, Mantyke, and Mime Jr. are very cute as well.

A lot are pretty cute, but I always prefer to just catch the Pokemon I need so any time I need to go through special breeding/evolution/etc. requirements and you can't find them just out and about drives me crazy, especially when I've already done so multiple times in the past X-x
