Summary
A sweet fairy type introduced in Generation 8,Alcremieadds another Pokemon to the ever-expanding group of those with dozens of possible forms, somewhat adding a bonus completion quest for players inScarlet and Violet.While thisSword and ShieldPokemon’s alternate formsdon’t alter stats or types in any regard, the changing designs, flavors, and topping options are more than enough to tempt players towards one look over the others.
Since some extravagant Alcremie forms require different times of day and even exclusive events to evolve the simple Milcery, players desiring a certain dessert over the rest also showcase a dedication to the crème treat. There are 63 possible versions of Alcremie, jumping up to 70 with the shiny form. This includes 16 base differences that an Alcremie can have, with nine different flavors and seven different toppings. At least for the basic choices, the sweetest flavors and toppings stand high above the rest.
17Flower Sweet
Spring And Summery Dessert
One of the more toy-shaped sweets instead of the expected toppings for a creme dessert, the Flower Sweet doesn’t quite work with the color schemes for most the Alcremie flavors. As there are already two toppings with red or pink colors, the orange tone for the Flower Sweet does make sense, even if it is the least candy-like option.
16Star Sweet
Out Of This World
Much like the Flower Sweet, the Star Sweet borders more on the toy-like side of topping designs, and has a color that doesn’t quite gel with the many flavors of Alcremieavailable in the Blueberry Academy. Along with being a rarer topping, and only being available through the Item Printer, the Star Sweet may work well with the Lemon and Rainbow creme flavors, but is otherwise far too striking.
15Clover Sweet
St. Patrick’s Day Candy
A simple but effective combination of greens, the Clover Sweet pairs well with the often brown or red colors of several Alcremie variants. The deep green works far better than the neon yellow of the previous Sweet, along with being found at least once naturally in one of the Terarium biomes. The Clover Sweet topping may be slightly more situational than most of the toppings, as the Clover design is certainly less of a general sweet than the Star, Flower, and later entries.
14Strawberry Sweet
Crème’s Perfect Pair
A classic combination, the Strawberry Sweet works well with pretty much every flavor and color of Alcremie, even if it is slightly generic compared to other Sweets. Adding little strawberries to pin up Alcremie’s “hair,” the topping is still one of the better options for thisdessert-focused Fairy type. The strawberry colors work with just about every possible palette, and the sweet is fairly easy to find.
13Berry Sweet
Very Berry Blue
A counterpart to the strawberry topping, the Berry Sweet offers players a blueberry option to decorate their Alcremie with. Found easily across various biomes in the Terarium, this Sweet is also a convenient option. With most Alcremie having blue or white colors, the blue of the Berry Sweet pairs perfectly with several flavor options.
12Love Sweet
Valentine’s Treat
One of the most fitting choices for this tiny, cutesy fairy type, the Love Sweet is easily one of the best choices for every possible flavor of Alcremie. The pinks of the heart-shaped topping only add to both the candy and fairy nature of Alcremie, making it a great and accessible choice. While the Love Sweet is prime for any Valentine’s Day-themed Alcremie,especially following the promoted Raid event,the heart-shaped topping is great for Alcremie at any time.
11Ribbon Sweet
A Bow On Top
One of the rarer choices for Alcremie’s topping, the Ribbon Sweet is just as perfect as the Love Sweet as a potential Sweet option. As the Ribbon Sweet can only reliably be obtained by the Item Printer, only truly dedicated players can end up with this topping, making this a more exclusive creme dessert.
10Ruby Swirl
Multi-Flavored
A slightly weird color option for Alcremie, the Ruby Swirl feels like a combination of two other potential flavors, but in a worse way. Instead of the pink color making up most of the design, as a name like Ruby Swirl would imply, the fade to pink at the tips of a buttercream body isn’t quite as striking as the alternative flavors players can pick instead.
9Salted Cream
Bright White
Perhaps the most neutral option for this usually colorful Pokemon, the Salted Cream flavor gives players the choice to have the creamiest Alcremie possible. A bright white, with some blue highlights, the Salted Cream option works well with any Sweet, making it a great, if basic, choice.
8Vanilla Cream
A Simple Choice
Easily the most expected version of Alcremie, the Vanilla Cream flavor is also one of the fastest choices to grab, alongside being the base flavor. With slight hints of pink and purple swirling throughout the creme, this flavor has slightly more personality than the Salted Cream, and it works better with certain red-toned Sweets than others.
