What Pokemon do you think are related to Christmas and why?

Personally Id have to go with Snover because it looks like a Christmas tree( imagine it decorated like one) and Winter Sawsbuck, which seems to be as close to a Reindeer as you could get in Pokemon.

You could also do what pokemon would represent hannukah or kwanzaa

I Disagree with sawsbuck is the closest reindeer Pokemon, because ponyta ( or rapidahs idk) was the first reindeer
 
Delibird and Stantler are two Pokemon that are made with Christmas-themes that I can think of. However, any Pokemon that learns Present (including Delibird) can qualify, like Clefairy.

What's your reason for this? It's very clear that Ponyta and Rapidash are horse-like (Rapidash is also unicorn-like), and both the horse and deer are different. First of all, Rapidash doesn't have antlers. Secondly, their tails are long like equines have, as deer have shorter tails (see Bambi). So yes, Ponyta and Rapidash are equines, and reindeers are deer, and that means Sawsbuck is closer to a reindeer.

However, Stantler is probably closer to being a reindeer, which I guess is what you are trying to say.

Thanks for reading.
 
Delibird, because it delivers presents and even has a present sack and Stantler because it's kind of like a reindeer.

I believe his reason is because the first and original Christmas episode featured Santa's sleigh being pulled by Ponyta and Rapidash. However, this was only because Stantler and Sawsbuck didn't exist then; they were really the only Pokemon from Gen I that fit the role.

So yeah, overall, Stantler and Sawsbuck fit much better. And of course, Delibird, who is a direct shout-out to St. Nick himself. Snover looks like a Christmas Tree, and Jynx sticks out in my mind due to her anime episode focusing on Christmas. I can see Cryogonal as being Christmassy too, and perhaps Jirachi (stars and wishes are a big part of the festivities for some people).
 
What pokemon best represents christmas

Re: What pokemon best represents christmas

Delibird is totally the Christmas Pokemon. I mean, its even got the Santa-esque sack of toys ready.

Maybe Chandelure for Hannukah? That'd be pretty awesome.
 
Re: What pokemon best represents christmas

yeah I think delibird is the santa for pokemon!
 
Re: What pokemon best represents christmas

Delibird for Santa Claus, and Stantler for his reindeer!
 
Re: What pokemon best represents christmas

Definitely Delibird like everyone else said, but I would have to say Sawsbuck in its winter form as his reindeer. And I love FinalArcadia's suggestion of Chandelure for Hanukkah.
 
Re: What pokemon best represents christmas

I go with Delibird also, however my second choice would be Articuno. I use Articuno a lot in my art to represent Christmas because it is so beautiful.

Also Articuno could represent the angel on top of the tree. Other reasons would be the fact that it constantly has sparkling snow flakes emitting from it's wings. :D
 
I thinks so too. Delibird is the Santa Clause in the Pokemon World because he only knows the move present, and who delievers Presents: SANTA!!!
 
I have always imagined Delibirds bringing presents ( I really go to the Department Store :p) and they bring me presents on the late part of Christmas in my Pokemon games. And I will start trying to catch Sawsbuck and transfer a Delibird up, and somehow make my little team of Christmas. :p
