Pokemon consists of a roster of hundreds of different creatures that range from obvious animal inspirations to wild sentient versions of everyday objects and appliance♍s. The beauty of the franchise is that most of these beasts start as small, cute, and/or adorable little animals that grow and evolve into powerful creatures.
That being said, some of them drew the short stick and are left with no potential whatsoever. It's time to look at and rank 10 Pokemon with absolutely no potential, including Pokemon from 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokemon Sword & Shield.
10 Heracross
In the world of bugs and insects, there aren't many of them as cool as beetles. The armor-like shells and extravagant horns make them quite a sight. Ever since Heracross entered the seen via 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokemon Gold & Silver's Johto region, fans ha🍃ve been wondering when it would get an evolution of some sort. The Bug and Fighting-type sports a unique combination that adds some versatility to a trainer's roster. It's 2020 and Pokemon fans are still hoping Heracross is on the receiving end of a final evolution or regional form.
9 Cryogonal
The internet is full of multiple ways in which fans can test their knowledge of a certain subject or fandom in meaningful ways. One of the more common ways is doing a test in which users name Pokemon and see how many they can get. The odds of Pokemon fans naming and correctly spelling Cryogonal's name correctly must be astronomically low. This Ice-type from the 5th generation of games i🦄s surprisingly powerful, but its design doe🎃sn't inspire any interest and could use the boost of a new regional form.
8 Sunkern
Readers may be w𓂃ondering how a base form Pokemon could be considered on this list when it clearly evolves into something. Well, for Sunkern the reason for that is because everyone knows just how bad that final form is. Sunflora, statistically, has some of the worst base stats for a final form.
The franchise has seen base forms receive new evolutionary forms thanks to regional forms that change their typing. Sunkern seems like a top-tier candidate to receive that treatment and breath new life into a forgotten 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Grass-type.
7 Bidoof
Some Pokemon are cute and some are powerful. Bidoof manages to dodge both of those entirely and is the rare case of a Pokemon being as ugly as it is useless. Though its stats marginally improve when it turns into Bibarel at level 15, it becomes even ugli🎶er somehow. Its large buckteeth can come across as endearing to potential owners, but it has to constantly chew on things to keep its teeth from outgrowing its body. Bidoof is said to be much more agile than it appears, which doesn't help its case at all.
6 Basculin
Oh boy, there's nothing quite like Pokemon introducing a brand neꦍw set of gamꦕes with a new region to explore only to realize there are more forgettable fish that are nothing more than Water-type filler. The most interesting thing about Basculin is that trainers can come upon some with either red or blue stripes on their head. Like most fish in the Pokemon universe, they don't provide much else outside of being fish and that's a real shame. Not every fish should turn into Gyarados, but it should turn into something.
5 Klefki
Over the years the Pokemon fanbase has become vocal about their feelings that the designers of Pokemon are growing less-inspired which is resulting in poorer Pokemon designs. Klefki, introduced in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokemon Black & White, has become the meme poster child for this sentiment as it is a sentient key ring. Not only is it arguably theඣ biggest laughing stock among its peers, but it doesn't evolve into anything either. Pokemon designers have a herculean task of making an evolved key ring somehow cool, interesting, and/or powerful
4 Luvdisc
Those who have managed to make it this far in the list understand that the Pokemon franchise has some poor patterns they follow. It seems that both Grass and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Water-types are home to dozens of Pokemon that ꦫare rather forgettable for one reason or another.
Not only does Luvdisc have no pote🦩ntial, it looks like it has so much of its non-existent potential wasted. A heart-shaped fish can evolve in a myriad of ways, and the concept of a group-based evolution is something the fran✃chise has explored recently.
3 Cramorant
It's one thing to be a Pokemon without a p🃏re-evolution or final evolution, but it's another to have that while also possibly being the dumbest Pokemon in existence. You would assume that a Pokemon designed to not evolve from or into anything would come with decent stats, but Cramorant breaks the mold in that regard. Outside of its special defense base stat, most of what it's working with is average at best. This means that a pre-evolution wouldn't really do much in terms of fixing what is wrong with Cramorant.
2 Sunflora
It may sound harsh, but statistically speaking Sunflora is one of the worst final forms in the entire history of the Pokemon franchise. On top of having the handicap of being a sole 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Grass-type, designers felt that this Johto region native served more of a purpose of simply filling out the roster. A Pokemon mu꧑st be lackluster when it has a base form, and despit🤪e that thing evolving, is still considered one of the creatures with the least amount of potential. Sunkern at this point is hoping it manifests an entirely different evolutionary route.
1 Dunsparce
The list started with a beloved Pokemon fans have been yearning to earn some new life and potential, so it's only fitting it ends with one as well. Just like Heracross, fans have wanted the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Normal-type Land Snake Pokemon hailing from the Johto region to receive some love in recent generations. Whether that's a new regional form or evolution added to its line, this dragon-like slug is considered the perfect starting spot for something magical that will likely never come despite the constant outcry fromཧ the♏ fandom.
