What To Do With Useless Pokemon?

I still catch them and evolve them for Pokedex data, then dump them in the PC.

What do you guys do with useless Pokemon (such as Dunsparce) that clog up your PC? I know that abandoning them is a possible solution but I always feel really, really bad doing that.

Blasphemous, Dunsparce is awesome!

...Why couldn't they give him an evolution! ;-;

I just don't catch them or box them forever, or release them so they're registered on my dex as captured.

TO THE BOX FROM WHENCE YEE CAME!!!!!!

But seriously, I tend not to catch useless pokemon.

I catch them so they can register in my Pokedex, in the next nearby town I release them back in the wild.

Majority of my boxes are empty, I just keep the Pokemon I will need for trade (between one of my Pokemon games to another - as I don't have WiFi), or breeding

Or for rotation, we can only have 6 Pokemon at a time, sometimes I like to give other Pokemon a try so I keep them around, the Pokemon I like I will leave temporarily in the PC and give the new Pokemon a try. If it doesn't work out with the new Pokemon it will get released back in the wild.

Some of the Pokémon I catch early on I don't like to release for some reason. =(

But others i'll get rid of eventually if necessary. If i'm trying to complete my Pokédex or something, then my boxes will be pretty packed.

No Pokémon is useless!~

I have a box labeled "BOXoFAME" (text limits) to keep things like team members I don't have anymore (i.e. kricketune), legendaries (palkia), rare pokemon (drifbloon), my fav. pokemon (shedinja), or shinies (none so far)

how about...try using them for once? dunsparce is NOT useless, with coil roost glare it can wreck anything ingame very easily.

in fact for ingame everything can be used, while competitively every pokemon can be used in their respective tiers as well.

i keep mine in the pc. just for decoration purpose.

When I was younger I just tried catching every Pokemon that I saw and didn't already have, and let a majority of them just sit in the box for eternity.

Now that I don't really care about completing the Pokedex anymore, I'll only catch the Pokemon I know that I'm going to use for at least a little while, otherwise I just see it as wasting Poke Balls. Sure, there are some I'll get through different things like the GTS and the Safari Zone that I don't really plan on using, but those Pokemon are few and far between now compared to before. My last look at HeartGold for example, I had only 2 ¹/₂ boxes full of Pokemon after hundreds of hours played, whereas on my original Sapphire I had to start releasing Pokemon because I had way too many in my PC (this led to me inadvertently finding that I had a shiny Shroomish in one of my boxes, though).

I leave mine in the PC, or I might even chuck them to another trainer, but, I would never, ever let mine rot... I'm surprised there aren't any PeTA like people in the games... They'd have you jailed!

I have never had useless Pokémon. And I have catch a ton of them.
I just know how to use them to it's fullest potential, even if it's just one small purpose.
Any Pokémon can be useless, even legendaries. Hard work and effort could change the general opinion on a certain Pokémon. Remember that.

Dunsparce is not useless. It has high HP and OK defenses. Can be used as a bulk/staller if used correctly.

Unown is useless.

Train them, enjoy them, experiment and have som fun in the E4.

If i kept every useless pokemon I hatched I'd have no room in the pc! I usually release them but occasionally I'll wonder trade a few charmanders or w/e

If you have a Pokemon with you that you don't want, Wonder Trade it.

Most pokemon I can find something to do with them, but if they're extremely useless (like level 1 magikarp) then I either leave them in my PC or just let them go.
