In the great words once said by TheJWittz: "Do you know why it's called Unown? Because as soon as you catch one, you want to Un-own it."
Dookieshed thats a name I haven't heard in a while
That is a name I haven't heard in many years.
That was JWittz, but either way it ain't wrong.
@@larryblake8497 oh right! I was conflicted between the two. Will edit my comment 😊
@@gkguido055 You DO have to realize that the Unown species is PRONOUNCED that way. It's not pronounced as the word "unknown". You can get proof from not only JWittz's primary source[PokéDex 3D Pro(yeah, I know....)], but it's been proven by Satoshi Tajiri, himself!
Fun fact, Unkown and Luvdisc are the only single stage Pokémon in the tier DNU (do not use). A tier made specifically for the worst of the worst. A tier where Starley is a top tier threat.
I thought Starley would be LC.
@@thevioletbee5879 DNU isn’t related to LC. LC just means any first staged Pokémon (that aren’t banned) at level 5 while DNU is any Pokémon that is so bad that it is in the tier and every mon is level 100.
Lemme go a step further
Unown is in DNUU, which is considered the tier BELOW DNU.
Talk about Fully Evolved Pokemon
the fact that Sunkern is the best Pokealthalon contestant, making it more useful than Sunflora in HGSS, will forever be funny to me. Even the developers knew that line needed SOMETHING going for it.
The fact that Magikarp was not even mentioned in this video goes to show that you aren't just trying to go for the memes. Good on you
Magikarp is pretty bad though.
But gyarados exists, so…
@@waluigiisthebest2802 Yeah, so a positive
@@waluigiisthebest2802 True, but when compared to any of these pokemon, Magikarp is a fine wine aged to perfection.
Hey, hey, hey. Ease up on the magikarp slander. It learns flail. Very useful when a shuckle hits it with the weakest move in the game to get it to 1 hp lol
Still ended up being a video of generic choices lol
It seems Luvdisc is a lover, not a fighter
Dry Skin Parasect was actually used in Ubers at one point. Why? To deal with Choice Specs Kyogre's oppressively powerful Water Spout, which dealt no damage to it thanks to Dry Skin. As much as Paras and Parasect are very, very flawed Pokémon, that alone makes them ineligible for this list, in my opinion.
I do understand that this is moreso battle-wise rather than aestheticially, but man, Jynx is the only Pokemon I wish didn't exist.
I wish several Pokemon wouldn't exist. Orthworm, Dudunsparce (bleh), the Gimmieghoul line, Mega Sharpedo, Dialga-Origin...
I couldn't agree more. It's the only Pokémon that Gamefreak had a change the design of.
Unown is a good example of a mystery that was unfinished, and then never finished.
"Why the heck is it called PARAS if it just totally sucks?" - a quote in mind of many Finnish people nowadays. ("paras" means "the best" in Finnish)
if they have unown a school form like wishiwashi it could work bc that’s literally what the entei movie showed us. Call it “alphabet soup” mode
(Power Rangers RPM flashbacks)
The fact that Unown are so crucial to one of the movies, pretty much always have an area exclusively devoted to them, and have been around for the majority of the franchise, it's downright impressive how useless they are.
I actually used Parasect in Legends Arceus, and it was surprisingly strong in terms of offense. I can’t bear to hate my darling Crabgrass now.
Its the mushroom on its back thats the actual pokemon. Parasect is daaaaaark
Because Legends Aceus lets you max out all of the Pokémon's stats, letting it be much bulkier and stronger than it would otherwise be.
@@michaelgum97 Actually, I never bothered with the grit items, so that was Crabgrass’s own power.
@@michaelnelson1127 The stat scaling in PLA was also made so that you could make do with almost any Pokemon. First stage pokemon ten levels lower than my fully evolved and EV trained pokemon were tanking hits as if they were fully evolved and overleveling mine in any other game.
While on one hand I found it nice that this gives you way more variety on what to use than usual, I also found it really annoying that training and levels had so little visible effect.
@@ungenbunyon5548 Yeah it's Cordyceps. By the time it evolves, the bug is a dead puppet.
I have a special nostalgic love for Unown purely because I used one in a Crystal Nuzlocke as a joke and ended up keeping it on my team, leveling it to 100, and beating Red with it solo.
That said, I think it getting some sort of swarm-based evolution would be MUCH needed and deserved.
Also, regarding why Unown has a similar Attack stat to it's Special, it's because in Gen 2, before the phys/special attack split, Hidden Power could be a physical attack depending on which type it was. All Flying moves, for example, were considered Physical.
That's hella impressive that you beat a nuzlocke that way damn 😅
They TRIED making something cool with Unown in Legends where Hidden Power now is fully exclusive to it and is always super effective on the target regardless of type. Would be cool if the stats weren't still crap. I was thinking of MAYBE giving it a sort of Wishiwashi-type gimmick or evolution where it forms this giant monster made out of letters but at this point I'm not sure if they'll do that.
Unown's special combination move would be named "The Quick Brown Fox".
@@pcachu Actually making a hyper fast psychic fox like Unown amalgamation would be an awesome idea.
@@shupasopni Right? Game Freak is known for giving their Pokemon clever references and callbacks, so having Unown transform in to a brown fox of some sort with a stupid high Speed stat would be a very clever touch and, for once, make it at least somewhat viable in battle...somewhat...
@@bluestreaker9242 A usable joke mon.
@@robertlupa8273 Maybe one of these days Game Freak will FINALLY give us that with Unown.
Sunflora is a queen, and I will defend her to the death, and not just because it's a prominent Mystery Dungeon character.
Sunflora was also a beast in the PMD games, her ability and movepool are so OP and stats are vastly Differs in the PMD games since any Pokemon can reach 255 at max
11:00 because it's a Gen 2 Pokemon where there was no Physical/Special split so Hidden Power would use whichever stat depending on what type the move was
Honestly using bad pokemon in playthroughs is kind of fun.
I think Will got legit mad with Unown, cause I could hear the room's acoustics riling up on his mic.
5. I think that Ice should get a resistance to Flying, Ground, and lose the Fighting weakness. At the very least that could help Avalugg a bit.
4. I think it’d be cool if Parasect got an evolution that lost Grass. Like I had this idea where it turns out the bug transfers its mind into the Mushroom and this hypothetical evolution would have the bug take over the Mushroom and mutate into a bug shaped fungi
3. I think I’d be down for a Grass/Fire evolution of Sunflora as well. Seen some amazing ideas for an evolution that did that.
2. Luvdisc could use an evolution as well
1. While it’d never happen, I did have this idea for an Unown evolution based off Stick Figures, specifically Mr. Game and Watch.
Legit I would be so down for a Pokemon game that does what Sinnoh and Johto did and gave Evolutions to pre-existing Pokemon. Scarlet and Violet’s a good start and I hope they do it again next gen
Luvdisc and Alomomola might have some similarities (pure Water, pink, heart-shaped fish), but they're only superficial. Their differences apply in gameplay AND lore. Luvdisc is a fragile speedster that lives in shallow waters, is themed around romantic love, and uses romantic moves (Charm, Sweet Kiss, Attract, Captivate, Heart Stamp, etc.). Alomomola is a stone wall that lives in deep seas, is themed on unconditional love, and uses heal/support moves (Heal Pulse, Wish, Helping Hand, Wide Guard, Safeguard, etc.). Luvdisc celebrates loving couples at sea, whereas Alomomola is an instinctive lifeguard. They share Hydration, but because they're in different ability slots they would not carry over through evolution. Not to mention that Alomomola is in Water 1, but Luvdisc is not.
Most of those are mechanics that didn't' need to be the case though.
Sure, but every one of those is a choice made during development that could very easily have not been that way. They're not facts carved into the fabric of reality, waiting to be drawn on.
The truth of the matter is, Alomomola isn't an evolution because Black and White didn't have evolutions of prior generations.
I remember trying to make an Eeveelution team and realizing that Flareon is a physical attacker with only one good physical move: Flare Blitz
It doesn’t get bite or quick attAck?
@@JaelinBezel yep, but so do all Eevees
it does have Superpower, Facade (Toxic Orb Guts), and Iron Tail and that's where it's movepool ends
@@goGothitaLOL this was 100x worse in gen 1 when fire moves were SPECIAL and Flareon couldn't use it's high attack for ANYTHING worthwhile.
I have to admit being embarrassed that I leveled up a Luvdisc to Lv. 50 in Pokemon Sapphire just because I thought it evolves into Gorebyss. That made me realize how useless it is (except for Heart Scales). Also with how pointless Unown is (especially with the very useless Hidden Power), I still question why do they usually categorize it as a Legendary Pokemon despite its stats and move set is beyond awful. 🤦♀️
How could you put one of your top ten Kalos Pokémon on this list?! The betrayal!
There had been theories that the Unown were used to help create the universe, being Arceus' 1,000 arms. But that doesn't seem to be the case anymore, especially after Legends Arceus confirmed there are multiple forms of Arceus that seem likely to be the 1,000 arms
6:12 Funny thing is, they could've done this while sticking to it being a sunflower. If grown right, sunflowers can be absolutely colossal, hitting 9 feet as the high average.
Also I like unown purely for the lore. Are they ridiculously weak? Yes, they're the worst fully evolved pokemon in the entire franchise. However, their whole thing is being the atoms of something bigger, leads to a larger mystery. However I really want them to add some sort of Schooling Form or secret unown evolution so they actually do something with it.
Unown having 72 atk is mainly a holdover from gen's 2 and 3 from before the physical/special split happened in gen 4, but yeah since then Unown's atk stat has been completely redundant and unusable, and it being at the end is no surprise as Unown will always hold onto it's title as the worst pokemon of all time due to how utterly worthless it is
What’s interesting is they actually improved Hidden Power in Legends Arceus. The move always does super effective damage regardless of the target’s typing.
Doesn’t make Unown any more of a crap Pokémon, but still…
After doing some research, I honestly think that Delibird should be number 2 with luvdisc number 3. Sure Delibird has higher attacking stats, but when you are pretty slow and have next to no defemse along with a signiture attack that can heal your opponent, it is the definition of throwing. And instead of Avalugg since you can slap on body press and all of a sudden with snowscape and trick room that thing is a monster, I would've put Pyukumuku, whose entire gimmick is stat us moves like Toxic, just using taunt hard locks the pokemon since one of the counter based moves is an egg move, and the main ability involves dying, more hp you have the more the death blow will do. However, low hp high defense, I think aftermath would end up doing more.
also another thing with Delibird: 2 of it's ability slots are taken up by abilities that do the exact same thing which is preventing sleep
Delibird is one of the funniest Pokemon in terms of competitive viability because it's considered to have a legitimate niche in Gen 2 PU: it is the best Pokemon in that tier that learns Spikes. And by that, I mean that it's the only Pokemon in that tier that learns Spikes. Every single other Spikes-user is locked away in a higher tier. One of those Spikes-users is Pineco.
I was going to say that at least in Gen2, Normal type attacks like Hidden Power and Hyper Beam were all physical attack, not special, but given that Hidden Power changes it’s type in the background, I don’t even know if that helps it. I’m guessing that was the logic behind Unknown having high attack, but it might have not even worked that way in the first game they showed up in…. Huh…. Someone definitely had big ideas for Unknown, but, like tue GS Ball, they never really got taken full advantage of.
That said, I do like the idea that some Pokémon genuinely don’t have much utility as fighters, since it can help flesh out the ecosystem, but you can still catch them anyhow. I’ve always kind of wanted uncatchable boss monsters like the Marowak ghost to be more of a thing, and a boss made up of a thousand Unknown would fit perfectly into that niche.
stuff like sunflora and Parasect is why stat balanced tournaments are a thing. You even the playign field by changing levels so that all pokemon have the same power level in terms of stats. It makes it LESS one-sided, and lets you see just how dangerous stuff like a Raticate would be if it actually had stats equal to Mewtwo: spoiler... a lot actually o-o' rats of unusual size get scary fast! It makes things very interesting. :D
Honestly they could and should add some kind of evolution/new form for Unown somewhen along the lines of Gimmegoul to Goldengo or Zygarde.
yeah, a swarm form where the stats are a 500 point total would be amazing. It needs a stupid evolution requirement though. Make it so it only evolves when you've completed some labyrinthine puzzle that will cause you to complete the Unowndex as a side effect of the puzzle, but also have the unown letter forms in your party spelling out words as part of the puzzles. :D
What? too evil? :D
Personally, I have fond memories of Sunflora and Parasect
I had a rain doubles team back in Gen 6 that had Parasect on it, and it pulled some nonsense it really had no right to. And being a consistant check to one of the undisputed champions of the Uber tier, Kyogre, for multiple generations is nothing to sneeze at
While Sunflora I mainly have good memories of for nostalgia with Pokemon Battle Frontier, where it was a pokemon that could be assigned to NPC trainers in that one stadium with the roulette-darts gimmick. For some unknown reason, not a hell of a lot on the rest of those rotating pools had a good answer to this Funky Flower, so it just tore whatever it was put in front of up. The one game where it was good, PBR Campaign mode. It aint much, but it's something!
I remember that set! Wide guard plus Spore and a water immunity was actually not terrible. That was a weird (and honestly really terrible) vgc format that you can tell rabbid never played because he hinted at Smeargle not being good.
Suggestion: Make a follow-up video with ideas to make these Pokémon less awful. There are hints of that already, like implying that Sunkern should become a real threat under strong sunlight; now, take those thoughts and turn them into something concrete, preferably while still holding to typical Pokémon design philosophies. Otherwise, this video is just filled with lots of "thing bad," but it's missing a lot of substantive thought, there's very little added to the conversation.
Here's a free example: Luvdisc gains stats based on affection with the player, as well as increased chances to proc affection-based bonuses (avoiding hits, enduring attacks, etc.). It still wouldn't necessarily be competitive, or even desirable for a typical Pokémon playthrough, but it's a definite mechanical improvement, backed up by existing thematic elements.
Avalugg is... Missed potential. I remember thinking that he was stupid for the longest time back when XY came out in 2013 (sweet Jesus I feel old now), but the Hisuian form made the big guy grow on me. But seeing that type combo... Yikes. If they'd made him Ice/Steel he'd at least have a slightly better defensive type (only having 3 weaknesses compared to 6), and he'd at least be able to take better advantage of his 10 higher base attack stat.
even if avalugg's hisuian form was ice/steel instead of ice/rock, it's defensive typing would still have issues as it would be 4x weak to fire and fighting and 2x weak to ground
@@bulborb8756 Still better than Ice/Rock, in that it'd only have 3 weaknesses compared to 6. Even Ice/Bug would be better (4 weaknesses) and Hisuian Avalugg is far more insectoid-looking than base Avalugg, look at those Mandibles!
I'm surprised you didn't mention Simisear. The pokemon that was voted the worst by the community a while ago.
As for this list.
Yea I can agree stat wise. But I still like Avalugg, Luvdisc and especially Unown. I always catch all the letters and even got a full Alpha Alphabet in Legends.
I spent a lot of time staring at Luvdisc in that game..... I have no idea just how many my Linoone killed while on the way to level 70, but yeah... my Linoone was used to hunt items so much that he got all the way up to level 70. and a lot of those items were from aquatic pokemon.
In the red and blue days, a properly prepared parasect could devastate any psychic.
When dark types came out no one looked at that mushroom again.
Not even close, really. Parasect may be a Bug-type with high Attack, but its strongest Bug move is Leech Life, which has 20 base power. For comparison, that deals 25% damage to Alakazam, a Pokemon with the same physical bulk as Oshawott. Even Exeggutor, which has a x4 weakness, takes only 30% damage. You'd be better off just using Double-Edge, which has higher power than Leech Life even against Exeggutor. And if you're going to do that, you might as well use a physical attacker that gets actual STAB and isn't slow as molasses. If you're in a setting where sleep clause isn't a thing, then you're better off with something faster or bulkier, and if you are, then Parasect becomes death fodder the moment it gets a Spore off.
Like, you want a Psychic counter in Gen 1, try Snorlax, Chansey, or one of the legendary birds (Zapdos in particular). There's a reason that Parasect is sitting pretty in Gen 1 ZU--a tier where the only usable Psychics are Slowpoke and Abra.
Fun fact: there was a poll that asked people what their favorite pokemon were. Of course pokemon like gengar, greninja, and charizard were up there, but whats more interesting is that there was a grand total of FIVE POKEMON THAT DID NOT GET A SINGLE VOTE…FIVE…THATS 0.5% OF POKEMON WITHOUT A SINGLE FAN…THATS INCREDIBLE.
Edit: for those curious, those pokemon were gothita, eelektrik, yungoos, gumshoos, and silcoon.
Then with Scarlet and Violet removing hidden power, uknown now can 't even be used
Hidden Power was first removed in Sword and Shield, along with staples like Return/Frustration, Pursuit, and Signal Beam.
@@shukuchishikeishuu9540 Ah right forgot that
Interesting list. By the way, awhile ago you did a countdown of the best years in videogames. I think it would be interesting to know what you think are the top 5 worst years in videogames. I would be very surprised if 1984 was not somewhere on the list due to being sandwiched between the videogame crash of '83 and Nintendo saving us all in '85.
1983 is the worst of all for obvious reasons, and there's room to argue about 2014, 2006, 2003, the vast majority of the 8-bit years (except for 85 and 87) and even 1993, it has a lot going for it, but there was also a lot of trash.
I am stunned that to this day nothing has been done with Unknown. Not in the gen they were introduced, not in one of the spinoffs, not even in the game that takes place before modern times. Like how about when you collect all of the Unknown they can connect with psychic energy into the shape of an eye, get a buff like WishiWashi, and have the chance to know any move excluding Hidden Power.
A pretty fair list I think, but Unown will forever still be one of my favorite Pokémon in the series, so I guess I have to reevaluate my life. It is completely useless but I think that's why I've always loved them, even more so in the 3D games when they started bouncing around having their own dorky animations. I still remember back in the day I would catch, train and level up Unowns to lv 100 and put them on the GTS or arrange special trades with people for things I did not own or could get. I still get a kick bringing my Unown team through the Elite Four for laughs when I can.
The funniest part of Unown being so flippin bad?
HIDDEN POWER WAS REMOVED IN THE NEW GAMES. HIDDEN POWER IS UNUSABLE NOW.
Goooodbye Unown, I guess. _Literally unplayable._
E: or maybe it really is the case of making the move exclusive to Unown... if they do return, then competitive players shall simply lament that the great move still exists, but only on a useless mon.
Avalugg: is one of the worst pokemon
Geeta: I’VE GOT AN IDEA!
Dude avalugg looks like a table
So glad I didnt see my baby love Trubbish on this list.
Rabid: Unown is the literal worst Pokémon ever!
Me enjoying the puzzles and collecting them: •_●
Parasect is AMAZING for completing the pokedex in gen 1 and 2. The only 100% accurate sleep move, spore. False Swipe leaves pokemon at exactly 1 hp. The only pokemon to have both moves.
I know this video is more so about the more objectively bad Pokémon in terms of their stats, types or movepool, but honestly I think one of the worst Pokémon in recent years is Enamorous fron Legends Arceus. Not only does it look complete fugly design-wise, both in its normal AND alternate form, but doesn’t even fit with the other forces of nature either. You have thunder, wind, earth and…love? How the heck is love going to kill you? Not only that, but it’s incredibly annoying and obnoxious to catch, and definitely not worth the effort required to do so when you just get this ugly pink blob in the end. And it’s certainly a shame that the only new legendary in Legends Arceus ended up being this freak of nature.
Also, this’s definitely perfect timing due to tomorrow being Pokémon Day, along with the series’s 27th b-day lol.
Ideas for parasect evolution: give it an ability called Shroom Spore wich activates when (new parasect evolution) gets down to red health and lives, it spreads spores to every pokemon on the feild (including teamates) with grow mushrooms that act as a leech seed and the ability also replaces its but type with ghost after activating
Edit: the ability is a reference to how in real life, before the insect dies it climbs to a high spot and spreads spores
How about a list on Pokemon that should get an evolution or regional variant?
Like ALL of the pokemon you see incessantly in the wild that have stats equal to a stage 2 starter? :D
wait, the heart scale was held by luvdisc and all i had to do was just keep using thief on it?
what the fuck, _why_
Completely agree with you on Unown, Unless Game Freak does something crazy with them in the future, I think they will forever be the worst Pokemon in existence.
I mean, I used Parasect back in FireRed almost 2 decades ago. Spore was a great move to have. Though, these days knowing its lore, as well as recently seeing very upsetting clips of hollowed out bug carcasses moving around cause of fungus, I can't bring myself to evolve Paras now. Heck, Sunflora was my go-to Grass type in Gen 2, even.
Also no Klefki 0/10 video
Me: What could possibly be worse than Luvdisc?
Me: ...oh....right
Unown's only move is hidden power, which you can't even get in Gen 9. A worthless Pokémon is even more worthless.
I really hate that 2 of my favorite mons, Avalugg and Parasect are both horrible battle wise. I love them but I acknowledge how dogshit they are in battle.
Hidden Power isn't even a usable move anymore. If Gamefreak ever brings back Unown it will be COMPLETELY useless.
Unown needs a regional variant based on Kanji characters. Each Unown has a type depending on their form (based on each type's Kanji), they have an ability which triples Hidden Power's base power (on top of STAB), makes it always the user's type, and makes the user immune to their own type, Catching all Unown allows you to catch the legendary Kanjioh.
I love Parasect and I use it often in Kanto
But I have to admit, it’s absolute garbage. It’s 100% just a personal opinion that it’s cool and I am handicapping myself.
Ice only resists itself? Ever use rock, ground, flying or dragon? It is super effective against all of them.
Burmy and Sunkern come to mind when it comes to the worst Pokemon ever.
I still remember the Autarch's rant on Burmy.
@@mikelancerevo11 I'm surprised people still remember his countdowns all these years later.
I remember writing a blog article years ago (pre-Gen 8) focusing on the worst Gimmick Pokémon, and a lot of your picks were on mine as well. It included Luvdisc and Unown, but included gems such as Castform, Spinda, Delibird and Cosmog/Cosmoem (if taken on their own - yeah, they evolve into the version mascots, but you need those utterly useless Mons in your party to get to Level 53 for that!)
6:01 “A happy looking seed would be pretty damn unusable in a fight”
Well….unless you pick it up and just yeet it at the opponent XD
It really felt like the devs were gonna do something with Unown. Like Gold & Silver made them seem important but like that segment was unfinished. Then Crystal came along, made a big deal out of them but... never really did anything with them. Then HeartGold and SoulSilver never really expanded upon them either. I think there was always a "do something with Unown" note on Game Freak's to-do list with each game but they just never got around to it.
Btw there’s a super loud beep at 1:54 , not sure what you can do about it tho
Oh man Paraspectre gonna have a field day on this one!
Was waiting for my favourite Flareon to be here. It's got great stat potential only to be let down by being UNABLE TO LEARN GOOD PHYSICAL FIRE MOVES. Its a HUGE let down when all other eevee evolutions are given new moves every few gens.
What's worse is that there was a golden opportunity to make Flareon good for at least one game in Let's Go Eevee. But no, they prioritized buffing the pre-evolution and making it so you can't evolve it.
@@shukuchishikeishuu9540 they did in one game let flareon have flamewheel but immediately took it out of it's move pool a game later. I only have one flareon to have that move and I got lucky that it was my shiny. I forget which game I got it in (I'll have to check pokemon home as I haven't been able to put into any game since without it risking loosing the move)
also Flareon didn't even get flare blitz until gen 6, before it's best physical fire move was fire fang....this is pretty embarrassing
The reason why Unown has the same attack stat as special attack is because before the special split half the hidden power types were physical.
God, Luvdisc annoys me so much. It only ever existed for the heart scales, like you said, and now those aren't required any more it's a relic and could go away with literally nothing of value being lost.
10:58 The equal attack stat is likely a relic of before Gen IV when the attack stat used was based on the type of the move. That way if it was equally as powerful no matter the Hidden Power type.
The only reasons I catch these in FR/LG is 1: to fill out the Dex and 2: so I can use the tiny and big mushrooms they can carry so I can give Charizard Heat Wave at Two Island.
I would put one single pokemon as worse above all 5 of these: Burmy. He is an ugly rip-off of Pineco to the point that they're both classified as "Bagworm pokemon". His stats are middling but terrible in all the right places, and his move pool is so very laughable. Not only that, all of his "unique" forms of female evolution have done before and better. Parasect is somehow still a better bug/grass, Scizzor is a better Bug/Steel, and Nincada with Ninjask and Shedinja are a better Bug/Ground. Not to mention his male evolution, which is (cough) another moth...and (cough cough) another Bug/Flying...wow.
Tbh Luvdisc evolving into Alomomola would make sense, especially when we talk abt series, where a fish evolves into an octopus bc it makes sense (remoraid>octillery)
My Parasect was a great utility Pokémon. False Swipe and Spore, Great Catcher. Called him "Bedbugger."
In real life, one reason I hate sunflowers is the squirrels would lop the heads off. I guess in Pokemon it would be a Skwovet doing that duty.
Unown having equal attack and special attack is a relic of the past. In Gen 2 and 3 hidden power could be physical depending on the type.
Great video. I had a video with a similar concept, wrote an entire script for it about a year ago, but I never actually made it. I wonder if I should?
Orthworm. Yeah, I'm just going to leave it at that.
I can't deal with this Avalugg slander >:C
I remember when i first started playing pokemon red and thought that parasect was super op because of spore and decided to bring it along to sleep the legendary birds.
In my mind i just needed to wait till the 3 birds that all had a 4x effective move didnt use it and instead used a 2x effective one.
Turns out zapdos co-operated on type weakness... And killed it anyway... even though parasect was at lvl 60 at the time.
What a great mon
I do believe Simisear deserves an honorable mention for being voted by the Pokémon fanbase as the worst Pokémon
I watched the first 3 movies before i even played a Pokemon game.
After loving Spell of the Unknown so much and them looking so awsome in the movie i didnt hesitate for a second to use one of my team when i finally played through Crystal... little did i know how disappointing it would be...
To this very day, Smeargle has been my Number 1 most hated Pokemon.
in gen 6 it was because of Dark Void, but it's use dropped off a cliff in gen 7 when that move got nerfed into a oblivion and also prevents smeargle from even using it
When Pokémon is about to be over forever in 900 years there will be an answer for unown
Although I do understand why people want Luvdisc to evolve alomomola, I personally think why it makes sense that both are two different pokemon since Gen 5 tries to have its own set of original Pokemon that’s not related to old Pokémon. Sure, there are a lot of rehashes and similarities of old pokemon, but they are still different nonetheless. Though poor luvdisc eitherway
I mean parasect may be complete rubbish 90% of the time, but it inexplicably managed to be a legitimate kyogre counter in gen 4, no one can take that away from it.
I think the pokemon that upset me more than anything else tend to be those ones that have a really interesting, unique ability but are absolute garbage. GF has some good creativity when it comes to making new abilities but it just seems like anytime they make a really cool, interesting one it ends up getting heavily short-changed stat-wise (Castform or Cherrim). Pokemon that aren't bad, but get a unique ability that really doesn't mesh well with their stats (Zoroark or Tsareena). It just kinda feels like a lot of the time when GF comes up with a really unique, interested ability they have to either put it on a garbage mon or something that doesn't really have the stats to make that ability really shine. I guess in the interest of making sure it doesn't cause a huge problem in competitive?
In no universe should Avalugg of all things be here with all these losers. MAYBE the Hisui form specifically, but the Pokémon that can sit on basically every physical attacker, to the point it works despite it’s typing, deserves respect. If you were so keen on putting an ice type on here, dear god, just put Delibird.
Unkown are actually Atoms, why A Japanese company made it based on the Greek alphabet
Also in the extended lore they create matter- something that makes more sense when realizing that they are based on the building blocks of matter
they still suck gameplay wise and absolutely get #1 for that alone
I love Parasect. I just wish he was better. And that his shiny had the same colours as shiny Paras. At least he has access to spore and Damp can help you stop pokemon you want to catch from exploding. He deserves a buff.
however over the year's we have gotten better spore users in breloom and amoonguss

*Ahem*, I'm sorry. All the more reason to give this lil' guy a buff.
Geodude and Grimer. Hated them since day 1
"Flowey used Giga Drain!" -If only Sunflora actually WERE like Flowey. >_
Parasect is legitimately my favorite pokemon, purely for nostalgia. It got me through Pokemon Red bc it was the only one who could get me through Misty's gym. I acknowledge that Parasect deserves to be on this list, but it's still my favorite.
Parasect is equal in stats to a stage 2 starter.... that's pretty bad stats. I it was equal to a stage 3? well... it'd still be less bad, but at least not turbo-suck
didn't expect this video to be fully based on gameplay
It's nice to have a "worst Pokemon" list that isn't just "ice cream pokemon bad".
it would be cool if unown could use moves that start with its letter. I don't know if it would be good but it would be interesting
Hard disagree on paras in gen 1 i used one not long ago and it more than pulled its weight
Parasect was actually more used in Ubers than in any other metagame ironically LOL
Cryoganol. You can’t get worse than that
Avalugg: great concept and design but TERRIBLE stats. It needs an ability that allows to attack first BUT the real benefit would be if the ability allowed to hit types it’s strong against first only
Parasect: another great concept and design but it should’ve been Bug/Ghost type and Spore should’ve never been given to other Pokémon.
Sunflora: ugly as hell but had it been Grass/Fire type, it would’ve had more competitive viability. Give it Drought and it’s set
Luvdisc: it just sucks
Unown: the biggest wasted opportunity in Pokémon
Avalugg: decent
Parasect: cute
Sunkern: very cute
Luvdisc: cute
Unown: kinda boring.
i will defend unown as they are unironically more powerful in lore and in herds than they are alone. how powerful?
how's about holding together the fabric of the universe and capable of reality warping on a base level? granted, this literally ONLY shows up in movies like the Sinnoh Trilogy and the movie they starred in, but hey, that is an important cog in the machine that is Pokemon's vast multiverse. at least until it's captured and singled out, then it's just a basic nearly useless pokemon that can be used to make a meme team that spells F U C K U with a machamp that only knows Dig in between F U C K and U.
