Terrible Pokemon
 
Other than the obvious uselessness of Magikarp, is there a Pokemon that you think is just terrible and never ever use? For me, that Pokemon is Paras and Parasect. I have one in every game I play, train it, hoping that it will be awesome. But it never is. Frustrates me! D:

When you hit kakuna or metapod in an evolution they are terrible.. Kakuna use Harden!!

deneric December 12th, 2010 10:48 AM

I hate oddish, with like, a fiery passion

*ADJ* December 12th, 2010 10:50 AM

Why oddish it can absorb its not like a kakuna that only does harden.

deneric December 12th, 2010 10:56 AM

Well, in red (I was really little), I had come across one and it had really given me a run for my money, so I thought, once I cought it, I had this crazy tough pokemon, but it kept dying, so I think I have, like, this negative connotation with it :P

Magikarp.

Umm, I really do hate Rattata and Bidoof with a passion <3

*ADJ* December 12th, 2010 11:00 AM

Yes bidoof is also terrible, magikarp isnt that bad just give it an exp share or throw it out first pull it back and throw out your pokemon and then it evolves into gyrados.. but bibarrel is still terrible.. so Bidoof is a failure

I don't know why I keep giving Volbeat a chance when I play RSE. It never amounts to kick assery, so I don't know why I always think different.

zoo3891 December 12th, 2010 3:41 PM

Luvdisc, because it never does any good for me. Oh and Gastrodon, it did terrible in the E4

PaxAmericana December 12th, 2010 6:17 PM

Zubat!
Need i say more!
Stupid crappy bat!

Timbjerr December 12th, 2010 6:43 PM

Unown is the only correct answer. Not only does it have pathetic base stats, it can only learn one attack that it would more likely sacrifice STAB for decent type coverage. :/

This also applies to anyone else that dares insult the babies of the majestic god of aerial pokemon. ಠ_ಠ

Bidoof and Bibarel are terrible, IMO. They're useful as HM slaves, but not in battle. When I get B/W, I won't be going near Minezumi because its later level up moves, other than Super/Hyper Fang, are terrible. I also won't be going near Baruchai because it's harder to train than Washibon, due to its bad attacking stats.

Ayselipera December 12th, 2010 6:59 PM

The only Pokemon that is coming to me is Ledian. I thought it was adorable so I figured why not try it out even after I saw its offensive stats. I wish I could go back in time and save myself all the aggravation and wasted time raising it. It's still pretty cute though. :3

*chucks a Crobat at you*

I've actually had a bad time with Jolteon and Flareon, which is unfortunate because I really like them. :/
And Luvdisc is quite terrible, as is Bidoof.

Asrodrig December 12th, 2010 7:45 PM

Luxray. I like the look of him and everything, but he just sucks for me for some reason.

MysticFlames December 12th, 2010 8:04 PM

I hate that there's a lot of Pokemon with interesting designs, but just terrible stats. Like Farfetch'd, Delibird, Ledian, Ariados, Beautifly, Dustox, Butterfree, Beedrill, Parasect...

Wait... why are there so many terrible bug Pokemon? Poor bugs, being discriminated against.

If memory serves, ariados could actually be pretty tough

I agree, I've had great luck with Ariados. But yeah, it is unfortunate a lot of Pokemon that have great designs have the worst stats.

Also, with Ariados in mind, Denchura didn't work out too well for me in White. :/ Maybe because of lack of Thunderbolt, but...I don't know, it just wasn't cutting it for me. I stuck with it though, since I really like it. But I doubt I'll be raising another one any time soon.

Pidgeot.

I decided to start my SS run by depositing my starter, so I caught a Pidgey. I thought Pidgeot would be as godly as Staraptor. I was wrong.

No Close Combat (obviously), no Brave Bird, not even Aerial Ace. I had to wait until lv. 37 to learn Wing Attack, and then the next best move would be Air Slash at lv. 62.

Then there were the stats. Horrible. Nothing over base 100, and yet it gives 3 Speed points?

Disappointing.

I'm inclined to agree here. As much as I HATE Bidoof, it can at least serve as an HM Slave. Hell, Kakuna can keep poison sting from its first form. Even Luvdisc and Magicarp evolve into good Pokemon. What is Unown's potential? It doesn't have any. No stats, only one useless technique, no TMs or HMs to learn. Unown will always and forever be useless.

#Emochu December 13th, 2010 10:54 AM

Whats with al this bidoof hate? is it the looks? Normal+water is pwnsome

I REALLY hate nuzleaf and lombre (lombre a bit)

I always would choos them when I was younger in Emerald and the had the WORST movesets ever.

I remember a similar problem with Nidorino in LeafGreen, I had to keep using TMs.

When I first looked at Golem's stats, he seemed to be okay, so I decided to raise one for myself.

BIG MISTAKE


Golem has weaknesses to 6 types which include a x4 weakness to grass and water! This is a huge disadvantage for Golem, which his stats do not make up for.
