    So this got me wondering for a while :) Since the Generation 1 Pokemon games we have to travel through numerous caves, encountering A LOT of wild and some, annoying Pokemon.

    Since we have Generation 6 now and pretty much can encounter almost every single Pokemon in existence, which Pokemon is the most annoying to appear in caves in your opinion?

    I have to put Wobbuffet on #1 since I always hope to NEVER encounter one when I make it through Reflection cave for example...
    They are just so annoying with Shadow Tag as an ability and those ridiculous counter attacks x3
     
    Zubat is the original most annoying cave pokemon, and definitely was in this game. x3 I just hate the noise they make when they appear!

    I don't get annoyed by any other wild encounters, just in caves haha.

    Rofl yeah I know what you mean, especially in caves I get annoyed sometimes :3
    Well, since most people would say Zubat, I really wanted to go with something else this time xD Wobbuffet really works on my nerves, even more than Zubat. But it's sound however... xD
     
    I never had much of a problem with Zubat (Golbat MAYBE).
    In X&Y I would have to say the most annoying cave Pokemon is Floatzel. I hadn't realised how annoying its cry sounds until I had to hear 5 of them at the same time!
     
    I think the most annoying cave Pokemon, or in fact any wild encounter in general in Kalos, is Wobbuffet. They have that annoying Shadow Tag ability and those deadly counterattacks (Counter and Mirror Coat) meaning that if you don't take it down easily (doesn't really help its HP is the fourth highest of any Pokemon too) it'll most likely take you down.

    Thank god Ghost-types can't be trapped anymore, I always want to have a Ghost in my lead spot every time I trek through the Reflection Cave now just so I don't have to deal with the pain of Wobbuffet.
     
    I've never found a Floatzel in a cave before. I quite like them! I can't remember what their cry is like though.

    As for Wobbuffet, I never had too much trouble with those as my pokemon were way over powered throughout the game. I did a lot of grinding, as my team is usually lagging and then realised I didn't actually need to. But I must say, Wobbuffet is just annoying to look at lol!

    Thank you haha, now I know I'm not the only one :3

    Unfortunately I barely use a Ghost-type in my team, I tend to buy as many Repels as I can before entering Reflection Cave, but the Ghost-Pokemon solution is indeed way more cheaper lol :x
     
    I never really had trouble with cave pokemon this generation. It seems they aren't spawning or whatever as often. Gen 4 was terrible with this. Zubats and geodudes everywhere every step of the way. I also hated the dark cave systems where you ended flash. X and Y thankfully didn't have that.

    This reminded me of the first time I played Red and for some reason, I didn't realise you could use flash to light up the cave and so I made my way through most caves in total darkness. I'm sure you can imagine how difficult that was. xD I was such an idiot lol.
     
    I have to agree; Wobbufett is a little annoying to encounter. :( Same goes for every other Pokémon that has either Shadow Tag or Arena Trap; once you've run into them, you just cannot escape without battling. Aside from that, however, there's nothing else, thankfully. Encounter rate is a little high, though, but I always have repels, so that's never an issue for me.
     
    Joining the choir here, it was an absolute pain to come across Wobbuffet, especially in Reflection Cave. Worst part is I never have a Ghost type, so I can't escape, and am forced to fight. :[ Zubat is second, and would be first if not for the ability Shadow Tag. Before Crobat, I thought Pokemon would be infinitely better off without the bat ever existing. Its final evolution makes up for everything though.
