As much as I hate to say it, because I love Grass starters, Treeko. I shoved him in a PC Box halfway through Emerald because he was so fundamentally useless and used an Oddish instead. I hate to say it, but the Oddish was more effective. :|

At least Treeko evolves into something decent later in the game. As does Magikarp, and Feebas. Heck, even Farfetch'd has use as a Pokémon Catcher. Ditto has breeding usage. Bidoof as an HM slave. But one Pokémon that has absolutely no use (other then to make teams spelling abstract words and profanity) is Unknown. It's STAB is now average at most (and you're not guaranteed to get a STAB attack, either), it has sub-Clamperl stats, a copy-paste ability that aids it in very minimal ways (Switch into Tyranitar's EQ? Great. Now try and KO it.), and a single move, making it so you can't even use it as an HM slave. It's mentioned that Unknown are much stronger when in groups...Too bad Pokémon is a 1v1, 2v2 game.

Delibird. I know it doesn't evolve, and as far as I know it never learns any other attacks than "Present" or whatever it's called. Why make it? >_<

I'm inclined to agree with Unown as most useless, I absolutely disagree with anyone who claims it's Magikarp, Magikarp is a beast.
Agreed. Even Delibird can learn TMs and Move Tutor moves. Unown is stuck with "Hidden Power" as its only move. It doesn't mean I hate Unown (I still like to collect all of them), I just would never include one on my team. Ever.
Currently Playing Pokémon White, and loving it

My showcase thread, featuring Fakemon (like a Pachirisu evolution and Legendary Unown), new types (Light
and Glass), and new items.

That's interesting, I never knew that. Then, for now I would have to agree with the fact that Unown is the most useless. But, the thing with that is it's supposedly the most useless in-battle, isn't this about what the most useless pokemon overall is? So there might be worse.....

especially when their evolutions still suck(wynaut and wobbuffet)...
Wobbuffet's pretty amazing if you have any idea as to what you're doing. In-game, if you get a nature that isn't awful and level it up some, it makes a really effective catch slave (third highest base HP + shadow tag).

I'll have to agree with those saying Unown is useless. If you can get one with a near-flawless IV spread you'll get a powerful Hidden Power but that's about it. When circumstances call for you to face a team of Magikarps and Hoppips to remain unbeatable, you know it's bad.

what is the most useless pokemon you have ever used, i think its farfetch'd mostly because it has no evolution and its attack was terrible as its defence was also.
I absolutely agree with you, I don't even know why they put him in the game. :(

Sunkern. It's hell weak and really serves no purpose besides something for Luck to make love to.

Cherrim. I mean only time it's useful is when a sunny day approaches.
You'll regret that.

Qwilfish just because people forget it exists.

What can it do exactly?
Oh God Qwilfish. Siggy and I had this thing going where she'd be like "My Qwilfish was hungry. So...I fed it."

I found it competely hilarious, and made a few people remember it. XD;

I'd more so forget its opposition - Remoraid/Octillery.

1º Unown
2º Delibird
3º Farfetch'd

- All baby pokémons evolve, so they'll be good later, just like Magikarp and Feebas.
- Qwilfish could be a great pokémon: Swords Dance/Waterfall/Poison Jab/Explosion, with Swift Swim ability and a Life Orb attached. I already have one of this and it's very good.
- Cherrim with Sunny Day is by far more powerfull than Unown/Delibird/Farfetch'd
- Shuckle? Look at its defense/special defense.
- All pokémons that evolve to a stronger form couldn't be classificated as the most useless, when we have that trio that I refered.
- Dunsparce, that also doesn't evolve, could be a great annoyer.
- Unown/Delibird/Farfetch'd could be HM slaves, like Bidoof could be.

So.. these are the most useless pokémons, in my opinion.

Pachirisu. Other Pikachu clones at least brought something to the table--Pichu emphasized the new baby Pokémon feature, Plusle/Minun emphasized double battling... Pachirisu just sat there being an inferior Pokémon to the Shinx-line.

I think shuckle is pretty useless.It just annoys me..
Just because it annoys you doesn't mean it's useless. If played well with it, it can tear apart unprepared teams on the lower tiers.

Pachirisu. Other Pikachu clones at least brought something to the table--Pichu emphasized the new baby Pokémon feature, Plusle/Minun emphasized double battling... Pachirisu just sat there being an inferior Pokémon to the Shinx-line.
Pachirisu IS pathetic, but it isn't useless. It has a good speed, it also has decent defense and a good special defense, so it can be used as a counter to other electric types on the lower tiers. Also, it can be used as a support Pokémon.

The most useless Pokémon title is Sunkern, IMO. Magikarp at least has speed. A Specs Unown can actually do some damage, even with one move. But Sunkern has a crappy movepool, the worst BST of any Pokémon, and no utility at all.

Also, Pachirisu has Super Fang. It's a really useful move if used properly.
