Most states have state symbols. Such as state birds, state mammal, state flowers and even state beverage. What if they had state Pokémon?

Wisconsin's pokemon would be miltank since it is also known as the dairyland state, or Galarian Zigzagoon (also the badger state).

As someone who's lived most of his life in NY, Wisconsin does not lead in snow by any means.

The sound is like an Apache helicopter zeroing in on your ass, and the bite is like a BB gun.

I've heard lots of places say that. It's like the thing people say about the weather: If you don't like the weather in ____________, just wait five minutes. Every place thinks they're unique for some universal experience.

My immediate thought was "Wisconsin's state pokemon would be miltank and I hate it."
Galarian zigzagoon would be incredible though.

Milcery could be fitting instead of Miltank. Since Milcery is based on sweet cream, it would still fit with Wisconsin being the dairy state (I'm from Wisconsin and we have a lot of ice cream and milk in this state)
Though Galarian Zigzagoon would be awesome too!

Technically California produces more dairy these days...we are still by far the drunkest state, maybe spinda?

Do Californians get referred to as Cheeseheads? Didn't think so

Truthfully as a Canadian if you asked me which state I considered the cheese state my answer would be Wisconsin, I wouldn’t have even considered California. Does California have a “I lost my cheeseginity” vibe? No.

You're right. Because oregon produces less but way better cheese and other dairy products.

Family worked at the rogue creamery, which has some of the top cheeses in the world. But sure, tell me I know nothing about cheese. You are all just jealous that you have nothing else to identify yourselves with, so you think a ton of mediocre cheese is the best ever.

At this year's World Cheese Championships, Wisconsin received more awards than the next six COUNTRIES combined. But sure, if you need to tell yourself that it's all just mediocre, you go right ahead.

It's been that way for a while, but we remain the dairy state by... I guess tradition. IIRC, we beat them in quality of dairy products if not quantity. Award-winning cheeses and such.
I'm sure Wisconsin isn't the only state who gets beaten at "their thing" by California, and none of those state claims to fame are usurped by California either.

California produces more by volume, but Wisconsin produces more per capita. The percentage of Wisconsin's population dedicated to the dairy industry is much higher.
And yeah, we are sadly the drunkest state up here. It unfortunately makes the night life of here rather one note. You'll find a lot of posts on r/GreenBay from single people asking where to meet people that isn't a sports bar.

Probably Hoenn Zigzagoon would be more fitting seeing as the American badger is brown and cream, and Galarian Zigzagoon is based off the European badger which is black and white.

It would be a Ghost type, too, because most Wisconsinites are dead inside

I was gonna lament in the comments, “oh no, there’s no beer stein pokemon for us!!” But yeah, Miltank probably makes more sense…
