Which is your signature pokemon?

My entire team seems signature to me! Skarmory, Empoleon and Jirachi make my core defense; and this has stayed nearly unchanged for a few months on Shoddy. They're all Steels, but have no common weaknesses and aren't stopped by the Zone (Jirachi's bulky, Skarm is faster (SDSkarm and can, uh, stall T-Bolt out of PP?), and Emp is a 2HKO on each end and slightly faster).

More importantly, I will never use bug demon Heracross over complete god Medicham. Higher base Attack + same base Speed (but can actually run Jolly) = win.

But more important than a signature Poke's strengths is the Awesome Quotient. Empoleon is such a badass penguin.

Actually, Heracross has 5 base speed higher.

I don't have a real pokemon I could call my signature (well, actually I do, but I haven't worked it into a team yet), but something I've used quite a bit yet never seen other people use is SD Infernape. It has a harder time with things like Donphan, Hippodown, and such, but can beat Gyarados/Salamence and still wrecks Skarmory.

Torkoal! Great tank move pool. And he's super cute =D

Oh, this totally reminds me--I need to catch a Torkoal in Diamond. I loved that guy back when I played Emerald (since I went ahead and chose Mudkip).

Not my signature Poke, but I do like Torkoal.
 
My signature Pokemon is probably Garchomp. Because back before I joined Smogon I used to destroy serebii noobs with SD chomp and I was pretty feared back then because nobody could beat it.
 
Azelf. I really love the little guy. So many teams are unprepared for it, it completely rips through many of the teams on shoddys ladder battles.
 
Jirachi is the best ever - I try to stick him on whatever team I use. Dragon Resist, Wish Passing, U-Turn, Zen Headbutt FlinchHax, and 60% Paralysis chance on Thunder is sexy.

Gonna say it again, Uxie is the best lead ever, I use him alot as well.
 
Gastrodon!!! Slugs PWN!

Seriously counter+mirrorcoat+recover=PWNage. AND it can survive SD outrage from neutral nature chomp with max attack. No life-orb though.
 
The best part is Gastrodon is one of the few that can actually have Countercoat. Too bad it's not very good at not dying.

Yes. Bred a piplup recently and love it to bits :D I'm not taking it out of my team.
 
Hitmonchan ^ ^ People often forget that he learns mach punch, and that with max defense and lefties he can possibly survive three mighty CB'd STAB'd returns from the insane tauros.
 
I've run a variation of a Subpunching Nidoking on most of my teams now that usually scores at least one kill. I also run a Tank Zapdos on all my teams
 
While my Black Specszard is my team's mascot, I don't seem to use him much lately. When it comes to use count, my Rhyperior would probably be my signature Pokemon. He tanks very well, and he is a Pimp, named Pimperior.
