Odd One Out

[Squirrel]

Simple game, just list three Pokémon and have the next person guess which is the odd one out! Be as creative as you like, the whole idea is for people to come up with interesting ideas for why two of them are related and the other isn't.

Rules

• First poster lists a set of three Pokémon.
• Second poster has to choose which Pokémon is the odd one out of the three, and give a reason why.
• The second poster then lists another three Pokémon for the next poster to play with.
• There are no right or wrong answers - the odd one out is whichever you choose it to be!
• Game ends when the world ends.
• HAVE FUN.

Example

Who's the odd one out between Piplup, Totodile, and Blastoise?

Piplup - his final evolution is dual-typed! Who's the odd one out between Gyarados, Magikarp, and Vileplume?

Magikarp - he isn't a final evolution! What's the odd one out between Swanna, Klink and Metagross?

The difference can be anything you like as long as it makes sense. So let's get started!

What's the odd one out between Sandshrew, Duskull, and Drilbur?

 

[Olli]

Duskull, both Sandshrew and Drilbur are Ground types.

Which is the odd one out between Poliwag, Remoraid and Pidgey? And it isn't their typing :p

 

[Squirrel]

I think the odd one out is Remoraid since he only evolves once!

What's the odd one out between Jigglypuff, Roselia, and Starly?

 

[Abby]

Starly. Was introduced in an even numbered generation

golbat
monkey
absol!

 

[François2]

Monkey because it is not a pokémon.

Arceus
Mew
Rayquaza

 

[Abby]

Access because it has formes

ratatta
sentret
zigzagoon

 

[Squirrel]

Sentret is the odd one out - he starts off knowing Scratch whereas Rattata and Zigzagoon start off knowing Tackle! (That one needed some thinking about XD)

Who's the odd one out between Ekans, Carnivine and Ursaring?

 

[Abby]

Does this have to be about pokemon
ekans has no i in it

Starly
pidgey
pidove

 

[Olli]

Starly, since it's the only one of the three that can learn Brave Bird naturally by leveling.

Gastly, Banette and Dusclops.

 

[Squirrel]

Dusclops - it's the only one that doesn't end up with a Mega evolution!

Kecleon, Castform, and Nincada?

 

[Abby]

Castform is the only one in the kalos dex

chickorita
Cyndaquil
totodile

 

[Olli]

Totodile, it's the only one that doesn't have anything relating to its typing on its body.

Hoppip, Jigglypuff and Kadabra?

 

[isthatyoudan]

Kadabra. It's name doesn't have double letters.

Just came up with this. Meowth, Vanillite, Squirtle. which one is the odd one out. I think it will be either very obvious or someone will come up with an even better answer.

 

[Squirrel]

All I can think of is that Meowth is the odd one out since the other two both evolve twice, but if there was a more interesting answer to that I'd love to hear it XD

Edit: OH, Meowth and Squirtle have both been starters in games (main series and spin-offs) whereas Vanillite hasn't?

Growlithe, Oddish, Cubone - which is the odd one out?

 

[isthatyoudan]

very obscure reason: Cubone because the other two have double letters in what kind of Pokémon they are (weed, puppy, lonely).
Less obscure reason: Oddish because it has two types, others don't.
BTW, the original thought behind meowth vanillite squirtle was that meowth and squirtle are based on animals.

Now, odd one out of: Farfetched, Oshawott, Pikachu.

 

[Olli]

Oddish is the only one to have been used in the Twitch Plays Pokemon stream ;D All hail the might Cabbage! aw

Very grammar nazi reason: Farfetched, because it's the only one that's misspelled (should be Farfetch'd) haha.
Less grammar nazi reason: Pikachu, because it's the only one to not hold some sort of object (Farfetch'd leek, Oshawott's shell).

Pidgeot, Arceus or Mewtwo?

 

[Squirrel]

Pidgeot is BirdJesus (yeaaaaah Twitch), Arceus is the PokéGod, Mewtwo is a random mutant freak - he's the odd one out!

Pikachu, Caterpie, and Drowzee?

 

[Sopheria]

Drowzee is the odd one out. It's the only one that can't be found in Viridian Forest.

Totally random:
Diglett, Furrett, Oshawott

 

[Olli]

Furrett, since it's the only one of the three two have double double consonants :D

Jirachi, Celebi or Shaymin?

 

[Squirrel]

Shaymin - it's the only one based on a real animal! (Unless time travelling bee-like creatures are now real animals, in which case it's Jirachi :D)

Heracross, Trapinch, and Poliwag?
