Top 10 Most Annoying Pokemon to Battle

Blissey

Blissey, known in Japan as Happinas, was first introduced in Generation II of the Pokémon series. It is the final evolution of Happiny and evolves from Chansey when leveled up with high friendship. Blissey is known for its extremely high HP stat, making it a staple in competitive battling in defensive... read more

Blissey always heals itself with Soft-Boiled and loves stalling with things like Toxic and Seismic Toss. It sometimes carries Protect to make things even worse, and it sometimes has Stealth Rock as well.

If you see this thing in team preview, the battle will be at least 40 turns. Just a heads up.

It's super annoying. I want this Pokémon to stop healing itself!

Spiritomb

Spiritomb, known in Japan as Mikaruge, is a dual-type Ghost and Dark Pokémon introduced in Generation IV. It is composed of 108 spirits and is closely associated with the Odd Keystone. Spiritomb does not evolve from or into any other Pokémon.

No weakness and looks like crap and is crap!

Spiritomb used Double Team 20 times!
Now I can't hit your Pokémon anymore. This is hax.

In Gen 4, Cynthia would annoy anyone with Double Team Spiritomb.

Miltank

Miltank, known in Japan as ミルタンク, is a female-only Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II. It is categorized as the Milk Cow Pokémon and is well known for its signature move, Milk Drink.

Until Generation VI, Miltank was the only Pokémon that could learn Milk Drink. This move restores... read more

Whitney. Just Whitney. You have to prepare your team just for this stupid cow to win. And it also heals itself. The Miltanks in the Battle Maison are awful as well. And the trainer on Route 8 in Akala Island? NO. NO. NO!

I hate Whitney's Miltank. Actually, the Aura Guardian's Miltank is much worse (but he's my fave). In a Metronome battle, it used Imprison. Enough said.

Whitney's Miltank is one of my least favorite Pokémon of all time, with Rollout and that move that infatuates your Pokémon. SO ANNOYING!

Mesprit

Mesprit, known in Japan as Emrit, is a Legendary Pokémon species. It first appeared in the fourth-generation games Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl. Mesprit is part of the Lake Guardians trio along with Uxie and Azelf and represents emotion.

In Diamond, it's a roaming Pokémon, plus the catch rate is really low. So if you're going to catch it, you can't even save first. This Pokémon has given me so much rage, and I still haven't caught it.

Lucario

Lucario was created by Ken Sugimori and first appeared as a central character in the film Pokémon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew. It was later introduced in the main series games with Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. Lucario has since appeared in numerous sequels, spinoff titles, and a wide range of merchandise... read more

Fighting this thing is a pain because its attacks can kill my team that has Dark types and Normal types.

Ludicolo

Articuno

Articuno, known in Japan as Freezer, is a Legendary Pokémon species. It is one of the three Legendary birds of Kanto, alongside Zapdos and Moltres. Articuno is an Ice- and Flying-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

Gengar

Gengar, known by the same name in Japan, is a dual-type Ghost and Poison Pokémon. It evolves from Haunter when traded and is the final evolution of Gastly. Gengar is recognized for its mischievous nature and strong Special Attack capabilities.

Sometimes Gengar has Destiny Bond to get a guaranteed KO on one of my Pokémon. It often carries Focus Sash and/or a load of coverage moves.

Watchog

Kingdra

Kingdra, known in Japan by the same name, is a dual-type Water and Dragon Pokémon. It evolves from Seadra when traded while holding a Dragon Scale. Kingdra was introduced in Generation II and is notable for its well-balanced offensive and defensive stats.

Simply too powerful, especially in earlier generations where its only counter was Dragon type - a type you can't find until very late in the games, with ridiculous encounter chances.

?

Clefairy

Clefairy, known in Japan as Pippi, is a Fairy-type Pokémon. It was originally a Normal-type before the Fairy type was introduced in Generation VI. Clefairy evolves from Cleffa when leveled up with high friendship and then evolves into Clefable when exposed to a Moon Stone.

?

Chansey

Chansey, known in Japan as Lucky, is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I. Chansey is known for its exceptionally high HP and its role as a support Pokémon in battles, often using healing moves like Soft-Boiled. In several games, wild Chansey may be found holding a Lucky Egg, which increases... read more

Zubat

Zubat, known in Japan by the same name, is a dual-type Poison/Flying Pokémon introduced in Generation I. Zubat evolves into Golbat, which can further evolve into Crobat when leveled up with high friendship. It is commonly found in caves and is known for using echolocation in place of eyesight.

Golbat is even worse. All they do is use Confuse Ray.

Zubats are indeed annoying as they appear in most caves every five seconds, but you can catch one to evolve it into Crobat, which is a great Pokémon!

There are so many Zubats in Mt. Moon. I counted all the Zubats in Mount Moon that I encountered - 85.

Slaking

Slaking, known in Japan as Kekking, is a Normal-type Pokémon that evolves from Vigoroth starting at level 36. It is the final form of Slakoth. Slaking has one of the highest base stat totals of any non-Legendary Pokémon, but it is balanced by its Truant Ability, which prevents it from taking action on... read more

Norman's Slaking (or Slakings if you play Ruby, Sapphire, or ORAS) are terrible until you figure out that you can use Protect on the turn they attack.

There are so many Slakings in Pokémon Go gyms. Every time I look in gyms, I always see Slaking.

Emolga

Emolga, known in Japan as Emonga, is an Electric and Flying-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V. It does not evolve from or into any other Pokémon. Emolga is known for its ability to glide through the air using the flaps of skin between its limbs.

This should be number one! I hate this thing so much! Here's how a typical battle with Emolga goes for me:
Emolga used Double Team!
Emolga used Double Team!
Emolga used Double Team!
The foe's Emolga avoided the attack!
The foe's Emolga avoided the attack!
The foe's Emolga avoided the attack!
Thank the Lord I have a Spiritomb. If you're lucky enough to hit Emolga with poison, it slowly dies.

Volt Switch after Volt Switch after Volt Switch...

Snorlax

Snorlax, known in Japan as Kabigon, was introduced in Generation I and evolves from Munchlax when leveled up with high friendship. It is a Normal-type Pokémon known for its massive size, high HP, and tendency to sleep in inconvenient locations. In many games, Snorlax must be awakened to clear paths that... read more

Snorlax likes to use Curse or Belly Drum, then sweep your entire team. It also has Rest when it's low on health to heal itself.

My rival's Snorlax is so strong in Sword and Shield. It's a waste of time battling my rival's Snorlax.

Wobbuffet

This Pokémon alone can single-handedly end a Nuzlocke run. Even in normal playthroughs, they are incredibly bulky and can reliably knock out most things if they survive even one hit. Oh, and you also can't switch or run away. Shadow Tag makes the experience so much worse. Did you put a low-leveled Pokémon at the front of your party to train? Prepare for a horrible time.

This stupid punching bag has Mirror Coat, Counter, and Destiny Bond. A Nuzlocker's worst nightmare.

I was stuck in the Reflection Cave in X and Y for like half an hour, which wasn't helped by the fact that these blighters were everywhere. Counter nearly fainted my Delphox, and Safeguard was annoying. That, and the fact that its ability is Shadow Tag, makes it pure evil.

Clefable

Clefable, known in Japan as Pixy, evolves from Clefairy when exposed to a Moon Stone and is the final form of Cleffa. It became a Fairy-type Pokémon starting in Generation VI. Clefable is known for its gentle demeanor and its ability to skip lightly across the surface of water.

Accelgor

Same thing as Jolteon, except much faster.

Klefki

Klefki is a dual-type Steel/Fairy Pokémon introduced in the Pokémon franchise's sixth generation. It is known for its distinctive design, resembling a keyring. Klefki has a habit of collecting keys, which it carries on its body. Its Steel and Fairy typing provides strong resistances and makes it a useful... read more

One word: Prankster. So annoying to battle online.

Jolteon

Jolteon, known in Japan as Thunders, is one of the eight possible evolutions of Eevee. It was first introduced in Generation I and is an Electric-type Pokémon.

Jolteon is recognized for its exceptional speed and spiky fur, which allows it to generate and discharge electricity. It evolves from... read more

My rival's is so fast. I just fought Giovanni, and I had a whole team of Slowbro.
I hated it.

Breloom

Breloom, known in Japan as Kinogassa, is a dual-type Grass and Fighting Pokémon. It evolves from Shroomish starting at level 23. Breloom is known for its mushroom-like appearance, strong physical attacks, and frequent use in competitive battling due to its high Attack stat and access to status moves... read more

Sableye

Mega Sableye was so overpowered with its stall tactics that it got banned to Ubers in Gen 6. Need I say more?

Woobat

Shuckle

Shuckle, known in Japan as Tsubotsubo, is a dual-type Bug and Rock Pokémon introduced in Generation II. It is famous for having some of the highest Defense and Special Defense stats in the series. Shuckle stores berries inside its shell, which can ferment into berry juice over time.... read more

Another annoying stallmon with Toxic, Stealth Rock, and Sticky Web.

Bronzor

This thing is just as bad as Whitney's Miltank. It will literally make all of your Pokémon confused and/or asleep. In Gen 4, it was only weak to Ground and Fire, but it could have an ability that made it immune to one of those. Plus, it takes like 10+ turns to knock out.

Bronzor used Confuse Ray.
Bronzor used Hypnosis.
Your Pokémon is confused and fast asleep. So are all the other Pokémon on your team.

Shedinja

Showdown Hackmon with Sturdy has Lum Berry or Boots for hazards or status, but I have a Whirlwind Recycle Rapid Spin Lum Berry one with Agility in Hackmon.

Its ability is so annoying in battles in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire.
