My mascot Pokemon is without a doubt; Whimsicott. It holds a special place in my heart as it was the first Pokemon I EV Trained by myself.

My Whimsicott isn't as trolly as others are, but it can take full advantage of the Prankster Ability.
 
Breloom was always most fun for me. Your opponent never knows what set it is and what you're going to do with it, so it's pretty easy to just roll right over them with some good play. Also if you use breloom you have a free win against user: Pride

Also i like Jirachi a lot too. Moreso in the last 2 generations because you legitimately never had a clue what it was going to do until your opponent revealed its moveset, but that carries over to some extent this generation. It's too fun to hold Expert Belt and bluff a choice item, only to HP ground the poor heatrans that are trying to counter you.
 
Trappers (Wobbufett, Gothitelle, sometimes Dugtrio) are always fun for me because there's a certain level of skill needed to execute them correctly. They all have liabilities in terms of their bulk, power, or versatility so you have to play them just right if you want your strategy to work. The main thing is that it's just the threat of them that really does wonders. The amount of pressure it can put on the opponent's style of play is amazing considering that it doesn't even have to touch the field to do so.
