I find any Pokemon I can't run from or has an ability that wastes time annoying. (Intimidate and weather abilities.)

Trapinch / Diglett are a nightmare in Gen III when they have arena trap because when they all use Sand Tomb you end up eventually losing a lot of hp as well as pp to defeat them (well, Diglett is OHKO'd by pretty much everything bar Magikarp but it is hard to outspeed).

Other than that its just super common pokémon like Rattata (especially as its deceptively strong), Bidoof, and Patrat.

Diglett is pretty bad and any Pokemon with sturdy, if I want to grind or try and take one out that I can't run away from, it's kinda annoying not being able to one-shot them, it's a small thing but it does annoy me haha.

These were the very first two that came to mind for me. I remember going back to play Sapphire and going through route 111 without repel, and running into a Trapinch with Arena Trap at every corner.

I also hate wild Pokemon with Sturdy. Sometimes, you wanna knock a Pokemon out for fun, and they just have to make life difficult for you.

I am not much fond of native bird-like pokemon on every region (pidgey, pidove, fletchling and etc) the cycle just makes things very repetitive, Well you have no repel while walking to sandy location and would makes you go crazy whenever you just encountered trapich over and over and over and over.... again it just force you to knock'em up but if you just carry pokedolls or other escape items, you're good.

Sturdy when you just one-shot and they alive or any pokemon would learn endure just to prevent one-shot.
Post Sig coming soon.

Just about anything when surfing.
dude I know what you mean
i saw a suggestion somewhere a while ago for adding in "dark water" (kinda like the dive spots) and having that be the only type of water where wild Pokmon can appear - so it'd work a lot like tall grass. that way the map designers could position rocks or islands in ways that force the players into dark water, or make them choose between dark water and a trainer battle like they often do with land routes. I think this would be a lot nicer than the current surfing system where you can find wild Pokmon anytime and most of them are completely uninteresting and repetitive.

Oh yeah in Gen V they were the worst. Weird because I actually liked the common rock pokmon with Sturdy but then when it was lead pokemon and couldn't defeat its family due to Sturdy it was incredibly irritating

Anything that can explode or spam annoying status moves. However, as of Sun & Moon I admit to a newfound fear of running into Pelipper in the wild thanks to that one ability... DRIZZLE.

Just had flashbacks to trying to EV train a Feebas in defence - every single time I didn't OHKO Graveler it Exploded.

I used to get into a lot of trouble with Golbat in Emerald and Diamond / Platinum if they had Mean Look and Confuse Ray.

Magikarp. I'm always looking for something better when I'm fishing and every time I end up encountering a million Magikarp before I get what I'm looking for. Heck, In Gen 1, the only thing the Old Rod caught was Magikarp. I hate Magikarp!

Doesn't help that with Sun & Moon's changes to fishing mechanics, if you don't fish in a bubbling spot you are almost always guaranteed to keep running into a Magikarp. Heck, even the bubbling spots still have Magikarp in them.

Magikarp has also been in every regional Dex to date barring Unova, so don't expect it going away from our minds for all eternity.
