Pokémon that are better unevolved

[Sheep]

We all have some Pokémon we think are better unvolved for one reason or another.

What Pokémon is/are that for you?

 

[Devalue]

Torracat.

Also likes Naclstack, Dolliv, Ivysaur, Seadra, Purrloin, Tympole, and Fletchinder notably more than their later evolutions. Says some due to being good forms as-is and others due to bad final forms.

For their look? there's quite a few I prefer unevolved:

Meowth, Dragonair, Combusken, Vigoroth, Vanillite, Torracat, all Galar starters, Floragato, Quaxwell, and Finizen to name some.

But there's one Pokémon I prefer over its evolution not just for visual but also gameplay reasons: Porygon2.

 

[ReKoil]

Torracat, Shieldon, Vanillish, Tynamo, Bunnelby, Skwovet, Yamper and Rhydon.

Also Vigoroth is the only of it's line not plagued by Truant and can be decent early on.

Wartortle is an easy one in terms of looks

Hattrem! I absolutely love this pokemon, it's such a cute Lil hat creature! Hatterene is still an awesome pokemon, but I prefer hattrem!

 

[FeraligatrMaster]

Poliwhirl, Rhydon, Electabuzz, Vigoroth, Dusclops, Yamper, and Alolan Meowth. Most of them for aesthetic reasons, but for Vigoroth and Dusclops also in battle.

 

[Harmonie]

Fletchling, Litwick, Fennekin, Phantump, Piplup, Hisuin Zorua, etc. I'm speaking of design here. I like cute Pokemon.

 

[CoolKid575]

All the starters from Gen 8/9 except for Fuecoco tbh. They all have good designs in their first stage but become oddly humanoid/bipedal by the end for some reason.

I definitely prefer my Pokémon evolved, but if I had to choose which Pokémon is better unevolved, it would be Vigoroth. Even though Slaking is extremely powerful, its Ability Truant really hurts it. It's the only Pokémon that I can think of right now. In terms of design, Torchic is the ultimate winner for me. Even though I love this line, Torchic is so cute, I really hate having to evolve it.

 

[Adam Levine]

Charjabug and Dusclops for obvious reasons.

Spoiler:

theyre my favorites

Aesthetic wise: Scyther (for Scizor, I do think Kleavor is on par tho), Yamper, Murkrow (still love Honchkrow tho!), Rolycoly, and Kirlia (I prefer Gardevoir to Kirlia but prefer Kirlia to Gallade) off the top of my head.
