Top Ten Most Overhated Pokemon of All Time

The Top Ten
1 Delphox Delphox, known in Japan as Mahoxy, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Delphox was introduced in the same generation as the ever so overrated Greninja, so you can expect that Delphox won't have Pikachu popularity. However, the excessive hate it receives is ridiculous! Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE says that it is the worst Gen 6 starter. Heck, some even go as far as to say it is the worst starter of all time (MandJTV). Come on, Chesnaught has a quad weakness, and Mr. Overrated (Greninja) is so frail that it only takes a thunderbolt to defeat it. It's embarrassing how a beautiful, majestic fox is overshadowed by a paper airplane headed blue scribble!

2 Garbodor Garbodor, known in Japan as Dustdas, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise introduced in Generation V. It is categorized as the Trash Heap Pokémon.

I've actually never been bothered by his appearance. And I find it funny how people hate on Unova for having a Trash Bag as a Pokemon, yet Kanto had puddles of sludge...

I'm sorry heavydonkeykong but Charizard is not more hated than the infamous Garbodor.

He's ugly, but I'm pretty sure he has some great stats.

3 Emboar Emboar, known in Japan as Enbuoh, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Just because of its type

4 Charizard Charizard, known in Japan as Lizardon, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. Created by Ken Sugimori, Charizard first appeared in the video games Pokémon Red and Blue and subsequent sequels. They have later appeared in various merchandise, spinoff titles and animated and printed adaptations of the franchise. Shin-ichiro Miki, the actor who voices James in the original Japanese version of the Pokémon anime, voices Charizard in both the Japanese and English-language versions of the anime. An orange, draconic Pokémon, Charizard is the evolved form of Charmeleon and the final evolution of Charmander. It has two other forms, Mega Charizards X and Y, which are its ...read more.

Why is Charizard hated so much? Oh, because he's "overrated". If you don't like Charizard, fine. I'm just tired of all the Charizard haters that hate Charizard only because he's 4X weak to Rock. Really? That's a TERRIBLE reason to hate Charizard. What about Gyarados, which has a 4X weakness to Electric? (Not that I hate Gyarados, it's a cool Pokemon, but you get my point.) There are other reasons too, but I don't want to explain them now.

I agree that Charizard has been given the spotlight too much, but this site takes his hate to the point as if it were the weakest Pokemon on Earth.

The main reasonpeople hate charizard is because he's overrated. very dumb reason to dislike it. I know charizard is the most overrated mon around but still love it

Charizard is hated simply for being "overrated". Yet nowadays, the haters seem to drown out its fans.

5 Vanillite

I think people just don't like the creations of pokemon mixed with food this pokemon is NOT EDIBLE but it's very cute.

Vanillite (and its whole evolution line) is cute, and it doesn't deserve the hate it gets

Say what you want about ice cream being uncreative. At least it's adorable.

I don't hate it. It makes me hungry. Even though I'm lactose intolerance.

6 Pikachu Pikachu (Japanese: ピカチュウ) are a species of Pokémon, fictional creatures that appear in an assortment of video games, animated television shows and movies, trading card games, and comic books licensed by The Pokémon Company, a Japanese corporation. A mascot of the Pokemon franchise, it's considered to be the most iconic character of all Pokemon species, as well as a major character in Japanese pop culture, due to its companionship with Ash Ketchum in the anime series. Pikachu has been featured in movies such as Pokemon Detective Pikachu as well as music videos - most notably Katy Perry's "Electric" in 2021.

What's so bad about this thing? Firs tof all, IT'S THE FACE OF THE WHOLE ENTIRE Pokemon INDUSTRY FRANCHISE! Of course its gonna be well recopgnized! Just because a Pokemon is immediately recognized doesn't mean tis overrated! JUST FAMOUS in my opinion! Saying that a Pokemon is overrated just because it happens to be recognizeable just because it is the ehad mascot of such a famous franchise that is as such as famous as Pokémon is just completely relatively positively ABSURD in my opinion!

Yes Pikachu has been over-advertised, but it's the official mascot.

I agree its shoved up our faces to much but is the perfect face for the franchice

What's wrong with him

7 Arceus Arceus is a legendary Pokémon from the Pokémon series. It first appeared in the 18th Pokémon movie alongside other Legendary Pokémon. In the Pokémon universe, Arceus is widely known as "The Original One", as it's believed to be the creator of the entire pokemon universe. According to mythology, Arceus is said to emerge from an egg that existed before the universe.

I never liked Arceus. It's not because it replaced Mew's place as the first Pokemon. It's literally because Arceus' design if too weird for me to like. Also, it's movie left a bad taste in my mouth...and I accidentally discovered Arceus through an action replay and it scared me so bad that I stopped playing my DS for like 3 months. (I was a kid back then)

It has more haters over lovers despite of this pokemon can be any element either elemental or in the periodic table you want to be from Fire to Fairy and from Hydrogen to Oganesson!

I went to the best pokemon list and saw Arceus. Then I read the comments. All the positive comments about Arceus had dislikes. All of them.
Without Arceus, there would be no Pokemon
He was created years after Bulbasaur, but he is technically the first pokemon

8 Torterra Torterra, known in Japan as Dodaitose, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

How can someone not like it. It's a huge turtle/dinosaur pokemon that can have other pokemon I've in it. Also can beat every other starter with Earthquake.

See why Pokemon is going dumber. A creature with a tree on top of it, I'm guessing.

How is it overhated? I've seen nothing but praise for this guy!

9 Magikarp Magikarp, known in Japan as Koiking, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. It resembles an orange fish with whiskers. It was created by Ken Sugimori, Magikarp first appeared in the video games Pokémon Red and Blue and subsequent sequels. It is a water type that evolves into Gyarados at level 20.

He should be #2 because all he does is SPLASH! The Power of Splash!

Magikarp, use Splash!
It didn't do anything

Magikarp: Splashing like a boss!

Magikarp evolves into Gyrados who I a very good Physical Sweeper in my opinion!

He's one of my favorite,and evolves into Gyarados,really cute too by the way

10 Jynx Jynx, known in Japan as Rougela, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. She is known as one of the more humanoid pokemon.

How is this not in the top tens? People hate it because it's 'ugly' & it's 'Nikki manaji' or whatever (even though I think jynx was made before she became popular). & also the racism thing which
A. Japanese mostly don't get what we (USA) did to blacks so they didn't understand 'black face' (I think that's what it's called? ).
B. Jynx is actually a Japanese trend for girls that was back in the day, it has nothing to do with racism.
C. They changed her coloring so it isn't racist anymore. So stop complaining about that.

And in the end, jynx has a decent move pool & good stats (expcally for a gen 1 Pokemon). But is sadly ignored for the above.

The Contenders
11 Trubbish
12 Samurott Samurott, known in Japan as Daikenki, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

This is the only pokemon in this list that doesn't suck

I love samurott

And torterra

I actually love this Pokémon but I think people hate it because of its evolution line

13 Klefki Klefki is a dual-type Steel/Fairy Pokémon introduced in the Pokémon franchise's sixth generation. It is known for its unique design, resembling a set of keys. Klefki's ability to collect keys and small objects adds a playful element to its character. Its Steel and Fairy typing makes it effective against various types in battles.

It’s a neat (if obscure) idea, neat execution and a unique, odd yet interesting design that grows on you as you start to realise the power it’s packing with Prankster.

14 Swampert Swampert, known in Japan as Laglarge, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Cute and powerful. How is it OVERrated. I think its pretty good.

Maybe the most underrated starter pokemon of all time.

OverHATED not Overrated..

15 Porygon Porygon, known in Japan as the same name, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

It's only hated because of the anime episode, and because of the worst Pokemon ever, pikachu, who caused the seizure. And then game freak thought "hmm let's ban porygon because pikachu is da best and ash is epic so there"(who came up with that idea? )

I feel like the only reason why people hate this Pokemon is because of that one controversial episode of the anime that it starred in.

16 Muk Muk, known in Japan as Betbeton, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

The most horrible Pokemon from my childhood.

17 Crabominable
18 Bidoof Bidoof, known in Japan as Bippa, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Cupcake face is cute! His evolution may be a bit stupid looking, but Bidoof is adorable!

He has a mask after evolving which is so AMAZING and cute. Bidoof is awesome.

One of the last pokemon you capture in shadows of almia. The badguy used 7 of them.

AS YOU LOOK INTO THIS BIDOOF'S EYES. YOU ARE WITNESSING GOD HIMSELF. PISS HIM OFF AND HE WILL USE THIRST FOR VENGENCE ON YOU

19 Chesnaught Chesnaught, known in Japan as Brigarron, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.
20 Popplio Popplio, known in Japan as Ashimari, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Popplio had so much crap when it was first revealed. One of the most hated starters in history. Undeserving but even if the hate subsided a lot, we need to keep in mind how despised it was at first.

Fairy is a broken type. This is what makes Primarina so special. I don't why this cute and cuddly seal got so much hate?

21 Ambipom

Wait...why do people hate Ambipom?

22 Infernape Infernape, known in Japan as Goukazaru, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Really?
Infernape is one of the best Fighting pokemon of all time.

These haters are not good people if they hate #Fire head monkey

What? People hate Infernape?

23 Electrode

It is one of the fastest pokemon in the game. Greninja's bane.

24 Magnemite

Worst steel type

25 Mr. Mime Mr. Mime, known in Japan as Barrierd, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Looks like it can murder some one and looks scary

Kills fighting types bad.
