Wasn't until now that I realized I had two Dark Horse Pokemon on my team, so I might as well sign up.

Updating the list momentarily, just posting to say that more than one person can claim a Pokemon, as long as that Pokemon hasn't reached the HoF this month already (for example, Kingdra is now off limits.) Have fun, guys!
EDIT: Now updated through Raseri.
EDIT2: Gonna involve myself.

Birkal, you oughta consider doing this for more than three months, as I feel like this project has evolved beyond its original purpose of learning about the metagame. It's become almost like the Scramble Challange, where it's just something fun for people to do (well, not "just", but you know what I mean).
PS- Just tilted, but simply couldn't make myself stop playing. Went from almost 1300 to low 1100's.......... fuck.

^SuperChillarmy, unfortunately Alakazam is no longer a Dark Horse Pokemon. Please make sure to check past month's statistics before choosing your Dark Horse!!
EDIT: SO SORRY, I was looking at January's statistics x_x;; Alakazam is actually eligible for the challenge!

MAJOR CONGRATS to Noodlez who just set the bar higher, peaking 1470 (#9) with his Kingdra! If he breaks 1500, I may just have to make an additional tier class just for Noodlez :)
Some questions to Noodlez - which Kingdra variant has proven more useful in the long run? And is Specs Kingdra's trait really Sniper???
Again, congrats for claiming the #1 spot!

No, I'm not just trying to used an incredibly unused Pokemon. I think Escavalier truly does have potential and is not outclassed by that stupid Scizor.
