Evolutions you dislike

Incineroar. I hate it so much. Even before getting interested in competitive to realize that it's on like 90% of doubles teams, I never really liked it. The design makes me uncomfortable. (The same goes for Grimmsnarl tbh)

Kingambit. I think it's cool, but I just don't think it was necessary. Pawniard and Bisharp hold up well on their own.
 
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Dudunsparce, but we've been waiting 20 years for the poor guy evolve and this was the best they could do for him?
I should clarify, I'm not talking at all about his design, I honestly think it's perfect, but he's still just as unusably bad as we was before he evolved.
If anything, it was better before he evolved because at least then there was hope for the little guy. Now, there's nothing. Even the hope of him receiving a mega evolution has been extinguished because of his 2 and 3 segment forms, they've never made a Pokemon with two different forms mega evolve and it would probably slightly complicate things enough for them to just pick a different Pokemon.
 
Aside from the ones OP mentioned, I immediately think of Incineroar. The first time I saw it was like "Oh god no", because it's like a combination of some cheesy 80s anthropomorphic cat character and a cereal mascot. It got even worse when it got included in Smash Bros Ultimate (which was a weird choice, a fully evolved grass starter would have been a better fit to match having Charizard and Greninja). And even in the newest set of Pokemon TCG Pocket, it gets an EX but not Primarina? Why?
 
Slaking: Regains the awful Truant ability that Vigoroth got rid of after evolving from Slakoth

Lucario: Insanely overrated, not even in my top 30 Sinnoh mons, the fact they forced one into Pokémon Horizons makes me even less interested in watching that series

Klang: Literally just a Klink with an extra gear

Zweilous: Feels more like a milestone towards finally getting a Hydreigon than a Pokémon in its own right imo

Pawmo: Arguably the most unnecessary second stage evolution, could have easily just had Pawmi evolve straight into Pawmot

Dudunsparce: Literally just a slightly longer Dunsparce
 
Rhyperior all the way. Every other gen 4 evo to a previously existing line I either liked, loved, or tolerated. Rhyperior is just ugly as sin. Its upper arms are too puny to match its lower arms, its orange plates look like a fungus, and its legs are both too short and too widely spaced for it to do anything but waddle.
 
Palafin literally doesn't change unless it transforms in battle, that's so stupid.

And Quillidan, of course.

Scovillain, I have a strong hatred for this scary pepper creature. But, I don't like its pre evolution much either ngl
 
Big name for me is Rhyperior... Rather just use Rhydon if not just for the sake of Dex completion. Regular Blissy is fine, but not a fan of the shiny coloration so not exactly one that counts. Same could be said for Magmortar but I used mine for hatching eggs.

The new evolution for Bisharp wasn't as good looking to me as I initially thought. Cool design but not one I use a whole lot in-game. Always hated trade evos because they felt so out of reach as a youngster with no friends that play nor any siblings... Palafin is one I agree with needing a bit of a redesign because it looks too similar to its previous stage. Maushold doesn't get much usage on my file either, especially since it loses pickup which is a nifty ability for me. Not sure what the point of it is to me, but never could get usage out of it aside from its cuteness and for Dex completion - again.
 
Not a big fan of Kingambit. I really like Bisharp, and I feel like it worked well as a final evolution, but Kingambit is just so disappointing imo.
