Eh Togekiss isn't bird, though i do appreciate to hear who is your second favorite pokemon. Mine second favorite would probably be Starmie. I mean his moveset is so versatile and powerful, his psychic tricks and upgraded water attacks from new generations of games makes him very formidable pokemon for offense abilities. Kinda sucks that writers left Misty Starmie early at gym because while i liked Straryu, i wished we got chance to see Starmie more in action.
Togekiss was amazing too, that aura sphere and airslash can be really devastating when used right and i liked his serene and gracious appearance seemig fitting for contests and Dawn character to have.
