Chimchar, Monferno, and Infernape.
Their designs are just plain horrible to me, I ink their cries annoying, their Typing is comprised of my two least favourite Types, what they're based off I think are just ugh, their Abilities are somewhat annoying, and just everything possible went wrong with them.

I despise them.


Incidentally, they're also my least favourite Pokémon overall.

Except for the fact that they were essentially an inverse Masquerin, being one of the very, very few Waters with prominent access to the Bug/Flying Wind-based Movepool.

Least favorite? Tangrowth and Lickilicky come to mind. Too much design on already over-the-top designs (sorry Tangela and Lickitung). Both of these evolutions attempted to make these Pokemon lines good for competitive, but failed overall.

The reason I hate Gliscor so much is how much of a hassle it is to take out. Poison Heal + Toxic Heal + Stat Boosters = I want to ragequit. I must say though, there were quite a few Gen 4 Pokemon that I disliked.

I've never been fond of Buizel/Floatzel. Lickilicky is weird, yes, but...eh. I kind of like it. n_n Okay. I can't lie, it's pretty disturbing.

Tangrowth's design is weird, though. It's like..literally overgrown.

I have quite a lot of Pokemon I didn't like from Sinnoh, actually. Purugly looks hideous and ferocious, and its overly round face looks unsettling. Rhyperior disappointed me, because if I liked the concept a bit more, I would've actually caught a Ryhorn. Unfortunately, its final stage turned out to be all over the place design-wise, as well as an odd color scheme. Probopass looks like a scratched idea for a toy, especially with the bushy, odd-looking mustache.

LEAST FAVE #D/P/PT

1. BURMY

2. Lickilicky

3. Purugly

GoGoJJTech May 23rd, 2014 7:43 PM

Am I the only one to think that Skuntank is horrible? Frickin galactic grunts.. >.<

Arylett Charnoa May 24th, 2014 6:06 AM

Gastrodon. It's also my least favorite Pokemon of all time. Why? Because of one damn time where I was walking through some grass. Not sure what I was doing. I believe I was just passing through, trying to progress to the next area. Then they showed up.

One after the other, that horrible annoying splort cry made me want to impale somebody. And the way it squirmed around slimily and unpleasantly... it did not endear me to this Pokemon at all. If it weren't for that cry, I probably wouldn't dislike it as much. But it's the unpleasant appearance combined with the cry that left Gastrodon with a special place in my anti-heart.

Florio June 15th, 2014 9:01 PM

Shieldon/Bastiodon: I feel they are just weird and lame designs.
Burmy/Wormadam: Just really strange... what is Wormadam even suppose to be? I like Mothim though.
Pachirisu: We got Minun/Plusle the generation before, why do we need this Pikachu wannabe? At least Emolga was more original.
Leafeon/Glaceon: Have to be the worst Eevee evolutions to date, they suck both competitively and in-game. And they just aren't cool, my order for eevee evolution's is Jolteon>Espeon>Umbreon>Vaporeon>Sylveon>Flareon>>>>>>>>>Glaceon=Leafeon.
Probopass: Looks like a train, or a giant scrubber.
And all legendaries except for Dialga, Palkia, Giratina and Darkrai.

I think the only one I didn't like was Regigigas. It required Regice, Regirock and Registeel to get it, and even then it was a failure for it's slow start ability.

#1:regigigas

I refuse to capitalize regigigas because I hate it to death. I don't think this atrocity can be called a Pokemon. Seriously, what was GameFreak smoking when they decided to create this thing? I mean, COME ON.

1. Horrible ability: Slow Start makes you weak and slow for 5 turns, which I guess CAN be stalled in-game, but 5 turns is enormous in competitive battling, especially when regigigas doesn't have access to Protect or Rest.
2. Horrible name: regigigas? Really? And this is why most people call it "Regigigigigigigigigigigigigigigas".
3. Horrible design: what is it supposed to be? regigigas looks like a face with weird ears and a weird nose. And what's up with those green feet?
4. Extremely painful to catch: To get it, you will need to catch all 3 Regis from Emerald, then transfer them to Platinum and you can get regigigas. Sounds easy, right? Well, not really.
a) All 3 Regis have a catch rate of 3, so you'll need a lot of PokeBalls to get them, and possibly some soft resets because they just won't let themselves get catched.
b) You need to trade them to Platinum, which means you need 2 DS's.
c) regigigas is at level 1, which means you'll need to use a HM slave or a Pokemon with False Swipe.
d) regigigas still has a catch rate of 3, so you'll need once again to throw a lot of Dusk Balls, PokeBalls or whatever.

So yeah, regigigas is my absolute least favorite Pokemon of Gen 4.

I disliked Regigigas a lot because it didn't match the other Regis. The other Regis, when caught in Emerald, each know at least Curse, Superpower, and Ancient Power. Regigigas, as part of the Regis, should at least know these three moves. I agree with how hard the Regis are to catch in Emerald. I think the only one I had an easy time with was Regirock and that's because I used a Water/Ground-type (My Swampert) who resisted and had high defense. The others gave me hell. Regigigas was relatively easy with the Nest Ball. Still hated it and its design. The Regis were only on my Platinum game because I needed to transfer them to my White and then Y versions and my SS game is not in Fuchsia City yet. But I agree with the hate on Regigigas.

Surprisingly, I don't dislike a lot of Gen 4 Pokemon. One that's been mentioned a lot is Wormadam, which I do think is pretty ugly, haha. Also, Purugly and Lickilicky. I also dislike Lopunny a lot.

curiousnathan June 20th, 2014 7:02 PM

Awww, but Lopunny is gorgeous! D:

Ingosmex June 27th, 2014 7:38 PM

Blissey, that thing was so annoying in gen 4 and still is to some extent nowadays too.

27thColt July 3rd, 2014 11:27 PM

With 4th gen being my first/fave gen, I hate doing this. But okay:

Purugly, Skunktank, Toxicroak. Who didn't like the 3 Galactic admin pokemon? I mean, they were hard to beat, they looked cool (except Purugly) but they were too dang strong!!

Bronzong/Bronzor. They are so hard to fight with the only weakness being fire (on my first playthrough I had no fire), they confuse you and wall you!

ObnoxiousOboe July 7th, 2014 1:44 PM

For some reason, I just don't like Magmortar. I think Magmortar is just uglier than the other Magby evolutions.

XtinaIsMeLuvinWWE August 3rd, 2014 5:51 AM

My top 3 would easily be Electivire, Ambipom and Chimchar.


Out of all the new evolutions to previous gens, I found Electivire's to be the worst in terms of design, I don't really know why I just find it really unappealing while all the other ones have either grown on me or don't bother me :)


With Ambipom and Chimchar, I've just never really overly liked monkeys so they were kinda a given, in addition to me really just not liking their designs (I don't mind Infernape as much though). Add to that the crazy Chimchar that Ash had in the anime and you can understand why I've never felt the appeal behind it.


As negative as this post sounds, I actually do really like a lot of the 4th Gen pokes lol :)

This guy I could never really understand. I cant say I hate him, I just really wish his design was better XD also Uxie, Azelf and Mesprit could have been better..

faf September 2nd, 2014 10:08 AM

Gen 4 also was my least favourite gen in terms of Pokémon designs. Anywho, these are the Pokémon I flat out don't like (it's hard choosing a least favourite):
The Bidoof line, Kricketot line (one thing I like about Kricketune is its cry), Budew (Roserade is cool though), the whole Burmy line, Combee (I like Vespiquen though), Pachirisu, Cherubi line, Ambipom (Aipom was cute), Chingling, Happiny, Lucario (I just find its design so awkward, I don't mind Riolu), Finneon line, Rhyperior, Lickilicky, Tangrowth, Electivire, Magmortar, Togekiss and Phione.

I happen to like Probopass, Skuntank, Garchomp, Gliscor (favourite Gen 4 Poke), Spiritomb and Gastrodon.

@Ingosmex- Blissey is a Gen 2 Pokémon.

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ September 3rd, 2014 5:51 PM

hmmm I have three least favorites; they are Shaymin, Gallade and Lopunny. If I had to chose one out of those three I would have to pick Shaymin because it is an annoying little Pokemon (especially in the movie). I just dont see why and how Shaymin is considered to be a legendary; it looks too innocent and soft.


:t354:TG

hey you pikachu September 25th, 2014 3:44 PM

the evolution of tangela i cant even remember his name but its kind of good coz nobody uses tangela

Dedenne1 September 27th, 2014 1:25 PM

Burmy Bibarel Spirtomb Floatzel Bronzong Purugly and and and Kricketune hes a little ugly failure he cant attack and the rest just look so stupid and aren't even needed in the game idk about arceus I kinda think they never should of made it stating its the most powerful hopefully one day they'll come up with pokemon more powerful than him

HollyYoshi September 27th, 2014 6:15 PM

Purugly and Lickilily. Their designs are absolutely terrible. Also Probopass. What was up with that thing?

Entermaid September 27th, 2014 7:27 PM

Poor Purugly.

I am harsh on many of the pokemon of this generation, unlike any other.
Lickilicky, Tangrowth, Probopass, Magnezone, The lake Trio, Magmortar, among others are just bulky overworked designs that lack charm.

But I always hear Purugly is ugly or fat as a reason why it is a "bad" design when a thread like this pops up. The whole idea is that this is an overweight pampered cat that uses it's tail as a girdle/corset, which is just hilarious. And the name implies that the intention was to have an ugly cat of sorts.

Just look at her pretentious face, it's adorable.


CombatantInfernape September 28th, 2014 6:11 AM

I kinda like all fourth gen pookemon, because that is my favorite gen and the pokemon look cool. My least favorite out of all of them is bronzor because the only purpose it serves it to annoy you. Brozong is like another golbat with confuse ray. If you don't have a fire type then Bronzong is going to annoy the crap out of you and waste your time.

Dedenne1 September 28th, 2014 5:39 PM

No I dont not like it for it being fat and ugly just i dont think we needed that and its stats arent great if it had an evolution of sorts it may be good Purugly is like average i guess
