  • Pokémon X and Y brought many new and exciting changes to the Pokémon franchise. The introduction of the Fairy type and Mega Evolutions are just some of the many changes that make these games stand out. But Gen 6 stands out even more in terms of its newly added Pokémon. With only 72 additions (less than half of Gen 5), picking the worst of the generation was a lot more challenging than anticipated. But regardless of how many Pokémon are introduced... a few will always be considered the WORST. These are the Worst Gen 6 Pokémon.

    The most upsetting thing about Meowstic is how the Pokédex describes its Psychic powers as able to turn trucks into dust, and yet their Special Attack is below average for a fully evolved Psychic-type Pokémon.

      Yes, the Pokedex is like that sometimes 😭, but I think there is a clear reason for all of this, Espurr is a Pokemon that in the Pokedex is said to always have to withstand its psychic powers. When it evolves, it still does that "if it doesn't hold back when it unleashes it's psychic power, it can tear apart a tanker" -female Meowstic Shield pokedex entries

      I think the most annoying thing about Carbink is it feels like it's meant to evolve into Diancie, but it doesn't cause Diance is a mythical. Still better than Phione as you don't need to get the mythical first and then breed it for your friend to get the sloppy seconds, but I'd argue Manaphy being able to breed period is a lot more interesting a concept than catching a discount Diancie knowing that there's an all around better version locked behind events. Though frankly I always hated how they handled mythicals, but Gen 6 really is the worst because I don't think it's possible to get any of them today legitimately. Pokemon Legends Arceus made Manaphy and Pione available, as well as the Gen 4 events, and BD/SP gives you unlimited Mew and Jirachi. You can get Celebi if you have VC Pokemon Crystal, and while Gen 5 had Victini, Meloetta and Keldeo, you can get Keldeo in the Crown Tundra and Meloetta in the Blueberry Academy. So that just leaves Victini. THough maybe Pokemon Legends Kalos will give us the remaining mythicals.

      Thankfully Gen 9 came to the rescue with Ability patches. Granted they're also kind of post game, but you can make that perfect Pyroar, and without megas and with Talonflame nerfed, it can hold it's own very well. Gen 9 "Worst of the generation" will be interesting on account you can literally catch any pokemon anywhere, but the new disobey mechanics means if you catch a pokemon higher than your badge level, they will ignore you, so it's based heavily on the lowest level you can catch the pokemon. Gen 8 straight up prevents you from catching pokemon above a certain level, but according to the "Oak's challenge" run someone did, it doesn't actually stop you from obtaining most pokemon in the wild area despite that due to raids having a more varied pool.

XD Most of the match ups where Pyroar has an advantage are used by male trainers (The Grass, Ice, and Steel trainers all are male) and trainers all use the same gender as their own except Grimsley or in the event the pokemon is gender exclusive. I think that's still true to this day except Pokemon Masters EX where gender doesn't make any difference due to very different mechanics, so they're based on lore instead.

    Hidden Abilities were cool at first but they also bring up an ugly truth of gatekeeping a Pokemon's potential for the main game like in Diggersby's case. There are several that would be nice to use if you had access to the HA but you just can't get it before post game in the majority of cases.
    My personal case for this scenario is Lokix in S/V. Love the little Kamen Rider bug but not having access to Tinted Lens just made it very underwhelming to use. Well, unless you grind up the Tera Raids for a chance to get it and I simply did not bother with the Tera Raids in my playthrough.

      Yeah, why aren't they available in the main story more often?
      As far as I know, the only times that Hidden abilities had near universal availability during the main story were Gen 7 due to appearing in SOS chains (which nearly all Pokémon can do, and the ones that can't are either legendary encounters, or are a special SOS encounter themselves (and can therefore still be obtained with their hidden ability)), and during ORAS due to the Dex Nav.

    I honestly think Carbink was supposed to be like Riolu and Evolve into Diancie; but then someone messed up somewhere.
    Like why is the only gen 6 mon to Mega Evolve a mythical _fairy_ type ,that practically no one can get; and it goes from being a wall to somewhat offensive.
    And also I wouldn't be surprised if gen 6 was super rushed and unfinished - a lot of the other Pokemon that came out in the later generations look like they belong in Kalos.

    20 bst might not seem like much, but for these mons that's the difference between their current 83 base Sp. Atk and a hypothetical 103 base Sp. Atk. A difference as clear as day. And honestly, with the first route encounter Talonflame getting 499 bst and random Water mon Barbaracle getting 500 bst, I wouldn't have batted an eye at Meowstic getting as much as 500 bst.

      While it's not great competitively, as far as in game play against the AI goes it's easy enough to avoid using it in unfavorable match ups, and especially after reaching Anistar City, Refrigerate boosted Hyper Beams can hit like a truck, and when playing shift style you can just switch out of the recharge turn.
      Not to mention anything with Ancient Power can turn into an absolute beast when you can just save before key battles and keep resetting until you trigger the omni boost.

    It's been really fascinating seeing these videos and taking in the broader context behind what can make a Pokemon good or 'bad'. Sometimes they do have slow starts along the way.
    I'm honestly a little surprised Aurorus isn't on the list. I used one when I played X for the first time and unless someone is complimenting the design, I will not hear a good word said about it. Okay, its type combination is pretty solid offensively and it did get Freeze Dry, but...
    -It's a Special attacker and thus gets basically no Rock moves to work with (Only Ancient Power)
    -The amount of Special Normal moves it can use with Refrigerate is really limited
    -It doesn't quite seem to be strong enough to KO anything despite base 99 Sp.ATK (mine had a Gentle nature so it wasn't losing out on power)
    -Its HP and reasonable defenses don't save it because Rock/Ice has been rated as the WORST defensive combination
    -Slow as a wet week
    It frequently let me down whenever I used it; to get any sort of mileage I had to resort to Refrigerate Hyper Beam and that wasn't always enough. Tyrantrum's defensive combination isn't fantastic, but it at least KOd things and looked just as cool into the bargain.

    Truth be told, I feel like Avalugg is the ONLY Pokemon that can really succeed from being a defensive Ice-Type...and that's mainly just because its defenses are so good, it'd be busted if it was any other type. I use it in Gen 9 OU, and you'd be surprised how many supereffective physical hits this thing can take before finally going down -- especially with Snow up.
    Shame GameFreak in all their bountiful mercy decided to give Hisuian Avalugg quite possibly the worst type combo in the game, taking away its ability to eat STAB Close Combats and Iron Heads for breakfast, but whatever. I can only hope Ice gains a resistance to Electric someday like it should've had all along.

Meaning I'd often get a free turn against Dark, Dragon, or Fighting type Pokémon.
