We talked about everyone’s favorite Pokémon, but who’s your least favorite? A Pokémon that, no matter what, will never make it on your team? Or maybe the Pokémon you find least interesting?

I have a few, lol.

  • Mr. Mime. I’ve never liked Mr. Mime, I always found him a little freaky since the first time I saw him. I don’t have a problem with clowns or mimes or other performers of the type… I just really don’t like Mr. Mime.

  • Shedinja. I love the concept of Shedinja, but the execution is… Lackluster. Wonderguard is basically pointless, since Shedinja’s weaknesses are so common, and even moves that aren’t super effective can still take it out if they have a secondary or battlefield effect…

  • And finally, a recent Pokémon, Quaquaval. I. Cannot. Stand. This design. Quaxly is… Okay. It’s the least strong of it’s starter trio. After that, it’s all downhill in a big way, lol.

What about you guys? Who are your least favorite Pokémon, and why?

    There are several starter designs past Gen III that I never really cared for. In Gen 4 I tend to just dump my starter.

    I’ve started to dislike Zacian. It basically ruined the Pokemon Unite moba game, which was for a brief period actually sorta balanced and not-pay-to-win (except occasionally an overpowered mon for like, two days before it got patched). Zacian ruined all of that. Even after it became available to freebie players, it stayed horribly broken. Admittedly it can be very satisfying to gang up and murder Zacian, but if it gets any kind of lead it will just absolutely delete your team. Likewise I don’t like the eevee-evolutions as much as I used to as the developers over-favor them and kinda spammed them. My understanding is that she (Zacian) is broken in whatever meta she enters, so this isn’t unique to Pokemon Unite which is tbh a shit game that could be fun if the devs weren’t jerks.
    On the plus side, the game did make me like Greedent, Zeroara, Eldegloss, Cramorant, and appreciate Mr. Mime who has a really interesting play-style and has saved my ass a few times. Thank you Mr. Mike.

    I don’t really like most megas. I will ditto hating rotom.
