The Most Useless Pokemon Award

When Pokemon evolve with a stone they either learn no new moves or very few new ones.

And leveled up evolutions learn moves at later levels, traded learn them at the same level and lastly happiness evos learn them at the same level, unless they're babies, in which case they learn all new moves.
 
Shuckle.xDD
A lot of people say Magikarps, but to be honest if you evolve it, it won't be that unuseful. And I think later it knows tackle or something.
And Caterpies, oh come on guys.:P You know how ANNOYING it was to start off with a pikachu on pokemon yellow and you absolutely cannot defeat Brock easily. Caterpies were actually useful in that situation. Cuz' you needed to evolve it all the way to a Buterfree to teach it a grass move to beat Brock more easily.

But other than that, yeah, Caterpies and Metapods are pretty useless.:P
 
Butterfree can't learn grass offensive moves, unless via TM, but neither of the appropriate TMs are available before Brock.
 
unfortunately this isnt the most annoying pokemon coz that award goes to zubat/confuseray hands down. the most useless pokemon would be perhaps a freshly caught kakuna as everyone seems to be picking on poor old metapod!
 


At least most of them look cute.*pats*


here is another fail pokemon.

Nosepass
Alright, so it has god awful attack stats. It also has pretty bad moves to use, and is actually liked by Roxanne, so that spells trouble already.
But it also has those horrid abilities. Magnet pull is useless unless you are trying to find a Steelix in Iron Island, which is about one of the few steel pokemon that are good in the game. And sturdy....well, that is self explanatory. I have never seen anyone use a 1HKO move unless it is Mind Reading Articuno, and even then, barely anyone uses Articuno what with it being NU and all.
Lastly, it lacks the character(and nosehair afro) that it's evolution probopass has.

Seriously.
Lmfao.xD
I've always hated Nosepass and Probopass are fugly, and they're kind of...meh. They're just really ugly and they don't have good stats.

Probably, just from the Confusion it learns, since most attacks are weak to Rock that early in the game.
bah.xD Not the link.D:
Anyway, well Confusion actually helps. Better than facing off with an electric type.xD;
 
My opinion on Metapod/Kakuna.

Guys do ya consider the thing that against Magikarp's Splash Harden has "only" 30PP?
I'm talking 'bout it because of Struggle as in fact only attack move for Metapod and low leveled Magikarp.
So low leveled Magikarp is more useless.
