Worst Designed Gen 4 Pokemon

Gen 4 is hated by many fans of the series, many of the designs within it were either bad looking, or uninspired, leading to some extremely questionable design choices.
The Top Ten
1 Purugly

The pur in the name appearently comes from the "purr" sound cats make, but let's be real, this pokemon is just pure ugly

It even mentions it in its name. This is just one seriously hideous cat

2 Lickilicky

This is such a dumb looking pokemon. Just take the slightly stupid look of Lickitung, and then make it fat, and you have Lickylicky, a lazy, terrible looking monstrosity.

Lickitung from Gen 1 was a creative pokemon who had a great design, but then we get this weirdo, just NO!

Dang that pokemon is ugly!

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

Another pokemon that just looks bad in every way.

Did they even try to make a decent design?

4 Bibarel

It took a pokemon that while looking stupid, still looked funny, and took away the goofy look about it that made it so endearing, leaving us with this thing.

It is just a beaver, nothing else. :/

5 Magmortar

It just doesn't look good in any way, it doesn't give off the intimidating vibe that I'm assuming was trying to be created, as it just looks like a fat version of Magmar with an extremely ugly face.

It's not too bad, apart from how fat he is, but the colors are really cool here

6 Cherubi

While people keep whining about gen 5 and it's habit of turning anything into a pokemon, people seem to ignore the fact that Cherubi is literally just 2 cherries with a face on each of them.

I personally like Cherubi's design, which gets better when it evolves. And trust me, this is nothing compared to the lazy designs of Muk, Electrode, and a couple more of the 151 Kanto panderers fail to notice.

7 Burmy

While I like the idea of it changing its appearance depending on what area you're in, none of them look good at all.

I actually think it's decent looking

8 Ambipom

I just really don't like its weird, deformed hands and the smile it has. It looks unpleasant in general.

Creepy, just creepy

9 Kricketune

I think I'd like this one a fair bit if not for the awful moustache that it has.

That mustache ruined the design

10 Probopass Probopass, known in Japan as Dainose, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

That Pokémon looks really stupid-looking. It looks like an Easter Island head statue that was painted blue and red by some painter and someone decided to give that Easter Island head a mustache.

While this is easily one of the worst designs in the gen, I put it low because of how funny and ridiculous it looks.

I think it's one of the best designed in Gen 4 (ok, I barely know anything about Gen 4 but whatever), it looks hilarious

I don't get why this exists. I just don't.

The Contenders
11 Bidoof Bidoof, known in Japan as Bippa, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

This is a troll! Bidoof looks adorable and does not look too much like a real world rodent species. I'm glad it is low on this list.

Bidoof is just a chubby gopher, not an original Pokemon.

12 Prinplup

Is this a troll post? This is not too penguin-looking (having yellow crests on is head), and it's blue in color.

13 Skuntank Skuntank (Japanese: スカタンク Skutank) is a dual-type Poison/Dark Pokémon introduced in Generation IV of the Pokémon series. It is categorized as the Skunk Pokémon and it evolves from Stunky. Skuntank is known for its noxious fluid which smells dreadful. It can spray this fluid over 160 feet, and the longer it allows the liquid to ferment within its body, the more powerful the smell. It sprays this fluid by opening its tail tip and shooting from it, and it also fires projectiles from moves such as Acid Spray from its tail.

This thing has a boring design, since it is just a skunk.

14 Tangrowth

This thing is very uncreative, since it is just a large Tangela.

15 Yanmega Yanmega, known in Japanese as Megayanma is a dual-type Bug/Flying Pokémon introduced in Generation IV. It evolves from Yanma when leveled up while knowing Ancient Power.

It's just a bulky dragonfly.
