Pokemon You Objectively Know Are Good, But...

[metalamor]

I started a thread about how, although I know the Dragon-type is the best type objectively I just don't like it.

What about individual Pokemon? Are there some Pokemon you know are great, but you just can't bring yourself to use them for whatever reason? (Excluding legendaries, since many people think using them is cheap)

Okay, so...
I know Conkledurr is an outstanding Fighting-type but I just can't use it. It looks soooooooo stupid -.-
Golurk (I just don't like it)
Claydoll (Same as Golurk; just don't like it)
Magnezone (I hate magnemite and all of its evolutionary relatives)
Metagross (An ex used it. Transfer of dislike)
Rhyperior (Not a awesome as Rhydon)
Shiftry (Dafuq is that thing?)
Whimsicott (Michael Bolton, anyone?)
Ferrothorn (It creeps me out)
Infernape (I hate monkeys)
Bronzong (It's supposed to be a bell. It does not appear to be a very good bell. But its cry is awesome, I will give it that)
Amoonguss (Foonguss=cute Amoonguss=serial rapist)
Cofagrigus (Really, Pokemon? Really?)
Hitmonlee/Hitmonchan/Hitmontop (Just not a fan)
Cryagonal (I WILL EAT YOUR SOUL AND THE SOULS OF ALL UNBORN BABIES!!! Seriously, if they were going to make it THAT freaky looking it should have been part ghost)
Gliscor (No.)

I know plenty of Pokémon are objectively good but I just never get around to using them. For instance, the only place I've ever used Excadrill, Lilligant, and Volcarona are in Conquest.

 

[metalamor]

Excadrill is pretty good. Great if you use him right, okay even if you don't.
I love Volcanrona. I wish you didn't get Larvesta/Volcanrona so late in the game.

 

[Anser]

I understand Volcarona being able to be caught late in the game. It's too strong.

I know Flygon is an excellent Pokémon, but I hate it. I refuse to use it. Plus, Vibrava is so freaking useless.

 

[metalamor]

I don't think Flygon is very good at all. I had one once. It was terrible. Most useless Pokemon I've ever had of either type.

 

[Ghetsis-Dennis]

Scrafty: I have a bitter hatred for gangsters (trust me, I live in a place full of them)
Lilligant: Its movepool is extremely lacking
Excadrill: It's banned in competitive battles
Dragonite: It has a derpy design
Salamence: There's no way for me to get it easily in the current games outside of Gen III
Bronzong: Its design doesn't appeal to me much
Magnezone: Its movepool is shallow and doesn't have a fascinating design
Whismicott: Stalling isn't my thing
Blaziken: It's banned in competitive battles
Venusaur: Requires DW ability and Droughtales to be good
Ninetales: It'll screw up my Water Pokemon
Volcarona: It's not my favorite
Jellicent: It's not my favorite
Celebi: It's not my favorite
Slaking: Traunt
Archeops: Defeatist
Forretress: Its design isn't as appealing as Scizor, Escaliver, Durant, and Genesect
Jolteon: It's not my favorite
Vaporeon: It's not my favorite

 

[Yu Narukami]

Blaziken isn't banned anymore :I

 

[Takaki]

Blaziken is still banned.

Annyway, somehow I hate using Conkelldurr but I also hate being against it (same with Machamp).

 

[coolcatkim22]

I never had that problem. Then again, my definition of a "good Pokemon" is way different then every one else's definition. And that's all I'm going to say because if I don't stop here I'm going to rant.

 

[Composer]

I can only think of two at the moment:
Salamence - because I've always felt it was a poorly designed Dragonite ripoff with better stats (I'm glad this gen screwed it over by giving Dragonite Multiscale)
Espeon - I don't like both it's design and general role and tend to underestimate it as an attacker.

 

[Faye Scarlet]

Dragonite. He's just an ugly stupid Barney dragon, I don't care how good he is in battle. D8 How could they give Dragonair such a hideous evolution? /shallowness

 

[Nero the Giant Whiscash]

Excadrill is pretty good. Great if you use him right, okay even if you don't.
I love Volcanrona. I wish you didn't get Larvesta/Volcanrona so late in the game.

I got my larvesta at level 1 early on my white using GTS negotiations for the PANSEAR i was given

 

[metalamor]

Oh my I forgot to mention Scrafty. I hate that thing so freaking much I have a Pokemon with at least one flying type move just to over-murder the shit out of it every time I see one. And that animation with the mouth. What are you, chewing gum you stupid-looking cunt?

 

[MAZZ0Murder]

Until Black 2, Lucario...didn't really wanna use it, but battling them in the battle subway almost always caused the loss XD

 

[itsquan23]

metagross cuz it rapes yur mothers" pussy everytime

 

[Almonds]

The Dragons in general. Yes they are good, but no.. I gave up trying to raise a Flygon because I had no idea what to do with it.
Absol. Awesome design and Pressure is cool, but...It's not on my to-use list
Metagross. As much as I love Steven and Steel-types... it's hard to make it decent under my care.
Milotic. Cuz I don't want to waste time raising a Feebas - and I don't want to get a fully grown Milotic by trade.
Umbreon. Potential wasted under my care.
Ampharos. Same as above.

 

[metalamor]

I liked using Absol but I think the fact that it doesn't evolve puts it at a disadvantage.

 

[zvinko]

Dragonite and the other pseudo legendary - soo overused
Volcarona- I never find love for any bug type
Staraptor- don't know why, just hate it, most hated early bird

 

[Yu Narukami]

Hydreigon-seriously overrated since its new. I don't like it. I prefer Zweilous,although he may not seem like much since he's a pre-evolution Zweilous has the strongest outrage out of all Pokemon due to Hustle,and with an eviolite he's granted with a good defense boost.

 

[Silverwynde]

I know Conkledurr is an outstanding Fighting-type but I just can't use it. It looks soooooooo stupid -.-

Yeah, pretty much this. It's probably great but I can't look past it's raep face. Seriously, that thing looks like it would violate you in ways you don't even want to think about. O_O

However, Timburr is completely adorable.

Golurk (I just don't like it)
Claydoll (Same as Golurk; just don't like it)

I don't mind Claydol overly much; I just haven't worked with it much. But Golurk's freaking awesome. Ghetsis was reduced to a whimpering puppy thanks to my Golurk. I loves me my Riser.

Magnezone (I hate magnemite and all of its evolutionary relatives)
Metagross (An ex used it. Transfer of dislike)
Rhyperior (Not a awesome as Rhydon)
Shiftry (Dafuq is that thing?)

Never worked with Magnezone. But I'm warming up to Magnemite so I'll probably give that one a chance. I happen to love Metagross, though--even the crappy Natured ones can do massive damage. Oh yeah, I is evil.

Shiftry and Rhyperior freak me out. So no, they don't show up on my team.

Whimsicott (Michael Bolton, anyone?)

^ :lol:

Infernape (I hate monkeys)
Bronzong (It's supposed to be a bell. It does not appear to be a very good bell. But its cry is awesome, I will give it that)
Cofagrigus (Really, Pokemon? Really?)
Hitmonlee/Hitmonchan/Hitmontop (Just not a fan)

Infernape is pretty strong and one of my faves...and this comes from someone who canNOT stand monkeys at all! It's a nice solid Pokemon and worth the chance. I also like Bronzong because it's kind of a weird Pokemon and I've got a taste for weird. I have yet to raise any of the Hitmon family; I should give 'em a shot. I've warmed up to Fighting types in general so why not?

Cofagrigus can go elsewhere. It creeps me out and I've seen too much disgusting fanart featuring that thing. I will never use it thanks to that. >.<

Dragonite. He's just an ugly stupid Barney dragon, I don't care how good he is in battle. D8 How could they give Dragonair such a hideous evolution? /shallowness

Ugh, tell me about it. I love Dragonair and Dratini but Dragonite is a big, fat no. I don't care how awesome it is, I won't use it at all. And it doesn't matter if it's shiny, either; the shiny sprite is just as unappealing.

Hydreigon-seriously overrated since its new. I don't like it. I prefer Zweilous,although he may not seem like much since he's a pre-evolution Zweilous has the strongest outrage out of all Pokemon due to Hustle,and with an eviolite he's granted with a good defense boost.

Trying raising a Hydreigon via EV training. It's multiple levels of sheer torture. Yeah, kinda like slamming your fingers in a car door repeatedly. No, just no. Never again.

Personally, I've never used Gengar. It creeps me out so I've never tried raising one. It has that "I will devour your soul for lunch" grin. It might be great, but I don't feel right using a Pokemon that dreams of killing me.
