The 10 Worst Pokemon Champions Players Should Never Use

The list of creatures available for use in Pokemon champion features some of the best competitive picks in the series, such as Incineroar, Sneasler, and Garchomp. Alongside these VGC power plants, Pokemon champion has almost as many practically useless Pokemon as well. As you build the perfect team to climb the competitive ladder, Pokemon champion players will want to avoid these animals.

The worst mons for both singles and doubles battles i Pokemon champion are included here, but the two largely overlap.

The worst Pokemon for singles in Pokemon Champions

• Rotom

• Mold

• Paldean Tauros (fighting race)

• Watch and

• Simisage

Rotom

Rotom may seem like an unexpected beast to see ranked among the worst Pokemon for Masterconsidering how prominent it is on some of the best Pokemon champion law. But when the Rotom isn't in any of its device forms, it's woefully underpowered. Rotom without a device has 80 fewer total points in its base stats and also doesn't get the useful moves that Wash Rotom or Heat Rotom get.

Mold

Despite how strong the weather is, the teams are inside Pokemon championthe mascot of the weather moves in Pokémon the series is pretty terrible for competitive battles. Castform doesn't excel in any stat, scoring 70 in all stats, and its utility as a weatherman is far outclassed by other mons with drought, drizzle, or snow warning, like Mega Froslass. While Castform may have marginal utility in Pokemon champions Double Battle format when partnered with an offensive powerhouse, it is largely useless in Single Battles.

Paldean Tauros (fighting race)

Paldean Tauros have three different forms: Blaze Breed, Aqua Breed and Combat Breed. While Blaze and Aqua Breed Paldean Tauros can be useful for their Fire/Fighting and Water/Fighting types respectively, Combat Breed Tauros are pure fighting type. Although the Combat Breed Paldeaon Tauros gains the Intimidate Ability, there is almost no situation where the pure Fighting-Type Combat Breed is better than either of the other two dual-type breeds.

Watch and

As an underpowered pure Normal-Type Pokémon, Watchog has very few situations where it can create a competitive niche. While the analytical ability can take advantage of its mediocre speed stat to give its attacks a 30% damage boost if it goes last, it doesn't have the bulk to survive many offensive sweepers, especially in a singles format dominated by fast, physical attackers like Garchomp.

Simisage

The Gen 5 elemental monkeys are often considered to be some of the worst Pokemon in the entire franchise, and Simisage lives up to that reputation in Pokemon champion. Its only saving graces are a decent 101 Speed ​​stat and access to Fake Out. Unfortunately, there are many better options for Grass-Type Pokemon, such as Mega Meganium, and Fake Out users such as Incineroar or Sneasler.

The worst Pokemon for doubles in Pokemon Champions

• Galarian Stunfish

• Samurai

• Gourgeist

• Slurpuff

• Simisar

Galarian Stunfish

While the Galarian Stunfisk isn't completely terrible in competitive duels, it needs a lot of help to be useful. Galarian Stunfisk's Mimicry Ability requires terrain to be set, something that is largely missing in the current Pokemon champion meta, and its incredibly low speed stat means it will need Trick Room active to have any chance of getting a move. Despite being immune to both Poison and Electric-Type attacks, a beast like Excadrill is a much better Ground/Steel-Type than Galarian Stunfisk.

Samurai

Samurott is in the unfortunate situation of having a poorly optimized stat spread, along with being a pure water type, the most common type in all Pokémon. Most of Samurott's best competitive moves, such as Flip Turn and Knock Off, are physical attacks, while its highest stat is its special attack. There isn't a situation where a Water-type Pokémon like Milotic or Primarina wouldn't be a better choice for a double team over Samurott.

Hisuian Samurott has some decent utility, with access to the STAB Dark-Type attack, Ceaseless Edge, which also spreads spikes on the opponent's side of the field, and a better stat spread that gives it a higher base speed and physical attack than its Unovan form.

Gourgeist

While useful to an extent, Gourgeist has an unfortunate mechanic regarding its size that can hinder its usefulness in competition Pokémon battles. Gourgeist can be found in four different sizes: Small, Medium, Large, and Jumbo, and each has a slightly different stat spread. Jumbo Gourgeist is the only one potentially worth using in Pokemon championas it trades Speed ​​for a higher Attack and HP stat, making it useful in the Trick Room. Other forms of Gourgeist do not have the same tools and should be avoided.

Slurpuff

Fairy-Type is quite strong in Pokemon championbut Slurpuff is one of the worst options among the type. Slurpuff doesn't really excel in any particular stats, and only has any real utility as a somewhat bulky support Pokemon that can use Wish to heal its partner and Fake Tears to lower an opponent's Special Defense. Other Fairy-Types like Mega Floette, Mega Gardevoir or Sylveon are much more useful for players who want to bring the strongest Pokémon type to battle.

Simisar

Like Simisage, Simisear lives up to its reputation as one of the worst Pokemon in the entire franchise. None of the Gen 5 elemental monkeys are worth using in Pokemon championbut Simisear is a particularly poor choice due to how many powerful Fire-Type Pokemon dominate the Doubles meta. Mega Charizard Y, Incineroar, Torkoal, and Hisuian Arcanine are all much better options, meaning there will never be a situation where Simisear is the best option.
