Vote on the worst Pokemon!
You have 4 choices!
magikarp
Sunkern
shuckle
Other (list in coments)
THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!!
 
Magikarp, only because it's useless compared to the others.
 
I picked other. Why? Because
Reason #1: Magikarp evolves into an awsome pokemon, Gyrados, Who is pretty amazing.
Reason #2: Shuckle is acctually a pretty good Poke when you train it.
Reason #3: Sunkern with a base stat of 180 does suck. But it can learn a variety of Grass Type Moves and is better than alot.
Here we are, at the worst Pokemon according to me. Why is it Bidoof? Because Bidoof is a sorry Rattata wannabe. Bidoof falls in the category of “Throw Away” Pokemon since it’s one of the first you can catch in Diamond and Pearl, but you’ll almost instantly realize that Bidoofs suck. I managed to evolve mine out of sheer curiosity and got a Bibarel, a nonsensical Pokemon due to its dual-type of Normal/Water. Why would you need a combination like that? It provides immunity to Ghost moves, yes, but it also provides a weakness to fighting-type moves, which are more commonly found everywhere. The reason I’m not faulting Bibarel for disappointing me is that I had no notion that Bidoof would become something great. In fact, Bibarels are exactly what you’d expect Bidoofs to turn into, so no fault there. No, Bidoofs are the single greatest punchline in Pokemon games, and that makes them the worst Pokemon of the series.
 
Why the hell is shuckle on this list?

And sunkern for overall bad pokemon and sunflora doesn't improve upon it much.
 
The Contest Hall is not for dynamic discussions (aka no "Other" option). As this kind of topic has a lot to be said about it other than just 4 Pokémon being pitted against one another, this thread will suffer some tweaking and be moved to Pokémon World.
 
Gee, thanks. Pretty harsh.
I'm new, and I don't know were stuff goes.
 
Magikarp is not the worst! It evolves into Gyarados and... I named myself after it! Plus Bounce and Flail aren't the worst moves it could have gotten... see original Kricketot's movepool. Without Magikarp we wouldn't have one of the best pokemon in the game (Gyarados)

Shuckle is hardly the worst either... I don't feel the need to explain.

Sunkern has value in level balance games where it gets to be level 100. It gets okay stats, and by definition it is immune to the OHKO moves too. There are plenty of worse pokemon in level balance.
 
When are people going to understand this? There is no "worst Pokémon" - it's a matter of opinion and preference.
 
What exactly do you mean by "worst Pokemon", are you talking about it's stats, movepool, typing, abilities, design, concept or percieved purpose? As an individual or part of a family?
Or is this just yet another thread for people to bitch about Pokemon they don't like?

Click to expand...

I think you are over exaggerating, Bibarel and Bidoof don't suck, and they aren't the worst of the series, they would beat any Unown any day.
