Most Mediocre Pokémon

I genuinely like Lucario, just because. *shrugs* Overrated or underrated, why should it matter? I'm not a fan of furries personally, but then furries don't come to mind when I look at Pok?mon like Lucario. At least, not to me. If I followed that train of thought, I would probably hate Zeraora?which is one of my favourites!

When it comes to mediocrity, I'd say most the single or two-stage evolutionary lines with unremarkable stats. Qwilfish fits the bill pretty well, haha. A lot of them have nice designs, if only they were buffed up a little!
 
I agree about Stantler - its one of those mons that I always tend to forget exists. And the lack of a psychic typing is indeed baffling.
 
My pick goes to Maractus. "Hey, we want to put a desert cactus Pokemon in Gen V but can't use Cacnea and Cacturne."

"Uhh, how about a pokemon that looks like a friendlier version of Cacturne but doesn't have an additional type aside of grass and doesn't evolve?"
 
I was thinking of Mothim since I still keep forgetting about it even though its design isn't bad by any means. It just isn't too memorable to me.
 
The thing with mediocre pokemon is I don't remember them because they're, well, mediocre. Voltorb and Electrode are just colored spheres, and a lot of baby pokemon just feel kind of "meh" to me.
 
I definitely agree that Stantler is incredibly mediocre. I'm doing a Normal monotype run through Gold right now, and I REALLY wanted to use Stantler - but after looking at its stats and movepool, I replaced it with Togetic, of all things. There's really nothing it can do that other Normal types can't do better, it has no niche at all. It's just... There. I agree that it should've been half Psychic type - maybe it could've been a counterpart to Girafarig that way.

It is cool looking, though.
 
I really think Furret should just be considered terrible.
 
Heatmor is just... wasted potential. Could've been amazing if it had an evolution or at least a stat over 105, with most of its stats being under 100. Well, thanks Gamefreak for ruining a Pok?mon with amazing potential. What else is new?
 
When I played moon, I really enjoyed the design for Pikipek, and I was kinda okay with Trumbeak, but when I look at the final evolution, Toucannon I was disappointed. I didn't want a parrot, although makes sense for the region. Overall I think it's move set is decent and I enjoyed using it, until I replaced it with Lunala.
