Topic: Pokemon That Are Just Bad!

[The name master]

Is there a pokemon that you think is really crap? Is it because of it's stats? Crappy learnset? Something else?

Caterpie/Weedle

They can only learn tackle/Poison sting and string shot

Metapod/kakuna

Can only harden unless evolved from their pre evolutions.

Magikarp

Obvious reasons!

Unown

Can only learn hidden power!

Once you have one, you'll want to un-own it! (hope no one notices I stole that joke!)

[Shaymin]

all of them are terrible

[the bread dragon]

skarmory and latias......both horrible

[The name master]

skarmory and latias......both horrible

If you're trying to annoy me or something, it's not working!

Wurmple and silcoon/cascoon.

Same reasons as Caterpie/Weedle and metapod/kakuna

[SirBlaziken]

skarmory and latias......both horrible

Skarm is bad because everyone seems to think it's a special wall while latias dies to anything with a secondary type that's dark.

Luvdisc is extremely bad. There is absolutely no reason to use this pokemon.

Is Shedinja a bad pokemon? Because it only has 1HP....

shedinja is a great pokemon if you're not a total noob


bad pokemon go by generation, but in 6th generation for me...

Clamperl - bad stats, bad movesets. Never seen the appeal past visual.
Corsola - Same goes. I swear this guy used to be better.
Ditto - Gimmicky at the best of times. Good for breeding, but impostor might make it slightly more effective. Not really worthy of a team slot, tho.
Karrablast - bad
Ledyba - bad
Luvdisc - the worst
Smeargle - see ditto, but without the breeding potential
Spinda - cute, but why
Wobbuffet - that said, fighting these back in black 2 (i think it was) was pretty hard. how the mighty have fallen

[Captain Jigglypuff]

Any Pokemon with Illuminate as its Ability. That Ability useless in battle and most of the time when doing a speed run you WANT to avoid wild Pokemon. Damp is pretty much useless as well in Trainer battles in most cases. The only time it is handy is when trying to catch a Geodude or Gravelet with Self Destruct on its moveset. But even then you can't tell if they even know it.

re: smeargle, its a good lead if youre playing competitively because it gets spore and entry hazards

[The name master]

Ditto? It can only learn transform, but can turn into any pokemon and use their moves....

Is Shedinja a bad pokemon? Because it only has 1HP....

Shedninja is a horrible pokemon! 1HP and is weak to ghost, fire, rock, dark, flying
Most trainers if not all have a flying type pokemon in their party.

Yeah, but it's not weak to dragon. It can (unless they know any moves that Shedinja is weak to) wreck the dragon type eltie four member in the third gen games. I would've said the same for the ice type elite four member, but then I remembered about hail.
