Your favourite Pokémon of your least favourite type?
This one is fairly self-explanatory, I hope!
My least favourite type is Psychic, largely for visual reasons. Psychic-types are often weird, disproportionate humanoids, with little to endear them from either the gnarly or cutsey end of the spectrum - I get that it's a very consistent and deliberate theme, but it doesn't make many of them any less off-putting. They also tend to play into the stale weak body=strong mind trope, which is both overplayed and not particularly true to real life.
My favourite Psychic-type Pokémon is Exeggutor, and to be honest it could just be a pure Grass-type from a visual perspective. I like top-heavy, low-centre-of-gravity aesthetics, it makes species look burly and doughty. Exeggutor's Gen V sprite in particular gave the sense of it being a hulking tree that's coming to Stomp on your Pokémon's little face:
