What is your favorite, (pretty much) universally hated Pokémon?

Picking a single favorite Pokémon is hard for most fans, at least for me, so most people have at least one Pokémon among them that isn´t really liked. What´s yours?

For me it´s Jynx.

A really controversial design, but, as an ice-type enthusiast in gen 1 I didn´t see that at all. I also really liked the sprite they used then (Pokémon Red). I have fond memories of sweeping the later gym leaders and Elite Four with his (or her ; ) ) Ice/Psychic type that was absolutely broken back then, alternating between Psychic and Ice Beam/Blizzard to clean everything up (except for ´maybe´ Blue´s Alakazam against which you´ll have to get a freeze).

I think most of gen 5 dex falls under this category besides a few. Even as a BW & B2W2 enjoyer, I find some designs hideous.

Serperior, Krookodile, Escavalier, Cryogonal, Accelgor, Hydreigon, & Volcarona are underappreciated imo.

My other answer for hated but strong which makes up for the derpiness is Dracovish

I agree with Blacephalon in particular, what an absolute abomination.

I don’t remember using this too often in original Sun&Moon games but things became much better in Ultra versions once it got access to exclusive Z-move. :slight_smile:

I feel a lot of people use Klefki as an example of a poorly designed Pokemon and is often the poster child for “GameFreak is running out of ideas”.

I’ve liked Klefki since the beginning. It’s just a silly little guy who steals your keys.

Yeah, Smoochum is awesome as well. Although I wish Jynx got an evolution too.

I don’t have a good pulse on what is hated but using this as a reference I gotta say Galarian Zigzagoon ain’t that bad. And I like Carnivine which I don’t see in the results at all.

Not sure if it is universally hated, but I fell in love with this guy while playing through the new Pokemon Snap!

Jynx totally rocks, I just wish it was more on the “cute” side. Or yeah, an evolution should absolutely work!
