Among the various types in the Pokemon franchise, it's hard to find one as annoying and overlooked as the Poison-type. It's ♈often associated with nasty reptiles, bugs, and sentient plants that poison and disrupt other Pokemon and humans when they feel threatened.
Ecosystems are complicated and the Galar region featured in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokemon Sword & Shield continues to showcase why tℱhey're a necessary part of the Pokemon ecosystem. To be clear though the type is filled with both brilliant and brilliantly terrible Pokemon that embrace the Poison-type a little too much.
8 T🤪oxel𓂃 (Galar)
Toxel, much like Skrelp of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the Kalos region, is the base form of the only Poison-type Pokemon in an entire generation. Both Pokemon X & Y and the recently released Pokemon Sword & Shield have a smaller roster of regional Pokemon which means there arꦇen't a lot of Pokemon in any given type.
Since the Poison-type is unpopular it makes sense designers wouldn't prioritize it. Don't let this entry paint a bad picture for Toxel, though, as this Electric and Poison-type is adorable and evolves into one of the more unique final formไs the franchise has t💞o offer.
7 Sa🌊landit (Alola)🐲
Though this entry is generally labeled with the Pokemon Salandit's name it more specifically is calling out the males. Unlike their🍌 female counterparts they can't evolve and in turn, are left existing as below a🌼verage Poison and Fire-types with no upside whatsoever.
This means that any trainer who is interested in gꦫetting the most from it should hunt for a female Salandit. With that out of the way the trainer can build a bond with it and by leveling it up to level 33, they'll be rewarded with a powerful and majestic Salazzle.
6 Skrelp (Kalos) ꦐ
Skrelp and its final form named Dragalge are the only Poison-types native to the Kalos region. This is a common occurrence 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:in Pokemon X & Y and is part of the greater criti🅺cism of the 6th generation in regards to it being the low point of the franchise.
Skrelp may be weak but it disguises itself as a dead or rotte🍌n piece of kelp which often allows it to survive long enough to evolve into its Poison and Dragon-t𝓡ype final form that's more than capable of protecting itself. Trainers who catch Skrelp will need to decide if leveling it to level 48 is worth the investment to them.
5 🍨 Foongus (Unova)
The worst Pokemon designs tend to be the ones that break immersion and are meta-references to the franchise. Foongus is a Grass and Poison-type from the packed 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:5th generation featured in Pokemon Black & Whi🔯𒁃te, native to the Unova region.
It has a head that looks like a Pokeball, which is confusing considering the Pokeball is a mo🦹dern technological advancement and there's no way this thing evolved to resemble it and protect itself from predators. The Pokedex goes as far as to say it's unknown why it resembles it in the firs🌊t place.
4 𝕴 Stunky (Sinnoh) 💧
Stunky from the Sinnoh region has base stats that aren't great, but that's not why it's the worst Poison-type Pokemon of the Sinnoh region. Humans don't like skunks, for obvious reasons, and having a skunk-inspireꦗd Pokemon feels like a recipe for disast💞er.
In real life, skunks can have their glands removed, but it's unclear if thaജt same thing is possible in the world of Pokemon. Its Pokedex states that the stench from its secreted fluid can reach a mile radius and will linger for 24 hours. Seems like the type of creature to let remain in the wild away from human contact.
3 Gulpin (Hoenn) ꦰ
A Pokemon being known as the Stomach Pokemon sounds rather gross, and knowing it's 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:a Poison-type makes it feel directly related to pile. Trainers who take a glance at its base stats may feel sick to the♉ir stomach discovering just how below average Gulpin is.
Among all of the Pokemon in Pokemon Ruby & Sapphire statistics would probably show that Gulp🍌in had one of the lowest ownership rates. Making a Pokemon pure Poison-type and having its design be a lump is a recipe for disaster for any Pokemon that's not part of the original 151 Pokemon from Pokemon R🤡ed & Blue.
2 😼 Qwilfish (Johto)
Qwilfish is more than a Water and Poison-type from the Johto region, it's that Pokemon f𝓰rom Pokemon Gold & Silver most people reading this article forgot existed. The idea of a blowfish Pokemon is neat in theory, but the design of Q꧑wilfish takes all of the fun out of the concept entirely.
Between its toxic green and blue coloring and the alien shape on its tail, it quickly made trainers feel as if it wasn't worth catching o🏅uts♋ide of completing the Pokedex. It's in desperate need of a new regional form and/or evolution to breathe new life into the Balloon Pokemon.
1 🐟 Zubat (Kanto) 🌱
If a survey was done asking those who played 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokemon Red & Blue what the most annoying thing to them was when playing it originally, they'd likely hover around the same answer. That answer would likely be something having t꧅o do with running into dozens of Zubat while exploring caves and forcing those players to buy repel spray from the shop.
Zubat isn't terrible, but they don't gift a good amount of experience when defeating, so running into them countless times feels less li🌃ke grindy training and more like the game wasting the player's time with useless encounters.
