Most Difficult Pokemon to use?

I think is shedinja. It there's only one HP! And any attack could fainted him.

Mine would be Shedinja against Pokemon with Sandstorm and Snow Warning.

The King Of Dragons says Goomy. In my personal experience, he is quite impossible to use, literally, in every Dragon team, every time. He's NOT gonna clap anything out by himself, because even at the same levels as everything else, let's just randomly say, Axew or Fraxure, Dratini-Dragonair, or even Deino(who I'll get to in a minute!), his stats are just nowhere near comparably good enough to do any actual real damage. Even with super effective shots he will barely do anything.

He's just not viable as a first stage Dragon and he takes very long to become Sliggoo.

Deino is actually quite useful and so is Zweilous, they just suck as far as trying to get Hydreigon for the main game...you're pretty much going to have that small blue dragon for most, if not all of, your entire main run to the E4. Which is no fun considering how many dark type E4s there are.

I would say ice types in my experience are pretty hard to use. It sucks because I really like them but aside from helping go against dragon types they don't have a whole lot of utility since their other strengths overlap with other common types(ex fire, bug, and flying are also strong against grass, making Ice types unnecessary), and their weaknesses, such as fire and fighting, tend to be pretty common. Aside from learning some water type moves and aerial ace for coverage, they don't have a good way to defend themselves against these types.

Also, I really like Ariados and wanted to use one in my last Heartgold playthrough but Spinarak was such a pain to level up that I gave up along the way(In comparison, I added a Heracross that I caught at level 2 in its place, had a great time using it, and no difficulty leveling it up).

Glaceon seems like one of the only exceptions to that rule.

yeesh I suffered using pidgeot in GSC... it was so weak @_@

 

[Kitty]

i suffered with luvdisc because i was in it for the aesthetic

slaking. I remember using slaking back when emerald was first released. training it to be a slaking was hard enough as it is. imagine me just battling and I'm just pressing A on and on because of Slaking's ability :( grinding up used to be a murder for that A button.

I also suffer with training clefairy even though I think clefable is a cute pillow :((

 

[budube]

Battling with Delibird and Ledian during Pokémon Colosseum was terrible

 

[Ninetales]

Training Magikarp is unbearable. Of course, once it evolves it all becomes worthwhile.

I used a Mightyena in ORAS and although it was tremendous at dealing damage it was so noticeably frail and I ended up replacing it with an Absol because of this.

Snorunt SUCKS.
