M: What is considered the least useful
creature in Pokémon go? You can give multiple answers for different
reasons, but try and stick to creatures at their final evolution.
G: Here’s a TL;DR of the least
useful final-evolution Pokémon in Pokémon GO, broken down by
why they’re considered useless:
1. Stat Trash
These have terrible stats across the board, making them useless in
raids, PvP, and gyms.
- Ledian – Atrocious Attack stat; dies fast, hits
like a pillow.
- Masquerain – Poor typing, bad stats, irrelevant
moves.
- Beautifly / Dustox – Bug/Flying and Bug/Poison
don’t do them any favors; low CP caps and mediocre moves.
2. Pointless Final
Evolutions
These evolved forms are worse than their pre-evos for niche PvP uses,
or just exist with no real reason.
- Wormadam (all forms) – Extremely low stats and CP;
serves no role.
- Cherrim (Sunshine Form) – Only shines in
very specific weather-based PvP but mostly irrelevant.
- Purugly – High CP for Great League but zero
performance value.
3. Outclassed by
Everything
They could have a niche, but others do it so much better
that they’re never worth using.
- Delcatty – Normal type with bad moves; why not just
use Lickilicky or Snorlax?
- Flareon – Used to be decent, now totally outclassed
by every other Fire type.
- Leafeon / Glaceon – Got power crept hard; others
like Roserade or Weavile outperform them.
4. Meme Tier
You evolved them once. You never used them again.
- Farigiraf – Cool concept, trash stats and PvP
viability.
- Crabominable – Ice/Fighting with no real use or
good stats.
- Dugtrio / Alolan Dugtrio – Bad typing, bad bulk,
low CP; outclassed by everything.
5. Joke Evolutions /
Trolls
Evolved mostly just to fill the dex or for the meme.
- Greedent – PvP trap; looks bulky but loses to
everything.
- Aromatisse / Slurpuff – Fairy types that lose to
almost all other Fairy types.
- Eelektross – Cool ability in main games (Levitate),
which doesn’t exist here, so it’s just… bad.
Let me know if you want a list specifically filtered for PvP, raids,
or gym defense.
M: I’m trying to start a discussion
about the “ stupidest” nundo Pokemon to bring to level 50. Someone did
it with a Meltan; I’m looking for the ideal example to start a
discussion of whether it’s sillier to upgrade something that’s more
difficult to level up but even in its worst form could be useful, or a
common vendor trash that’s completely useless but relatively easy to
find the materials for.
G: That’s a great angle—you're
basically asking: What’s dumber—maxing a bad version of a great
Pokémon, or maxing a perfect version of something utterly
worthless?
Here are some ideal examples to start the debate, tailored to spark
both “why would you do that?” and “okay, I kind of respect it”
reactions:
1. Level 50 Nundo
Slaking
- Why it’s perfect for this: Huge CP number makes it
look impressive to casual players, but it's a complete joke in
PvE because of Yawn as a fast move.
- Debate fuel: Max CP flex with zero damage
output—waste of stardust and potential.
- Why it’s perfect: Rarest trash. Only one move
(Hidden Power), no use anywhere, hard to collect candy for.
- Debate fuel: Extremely hard to level due to candy
rarity, but completely useless. This tests the "rarity vs. utility"
boundary.
- Why it’s perfect: Weather gimmick, high
availability, utterly useless in anything competitive.
- Debate fuel: Easy to level, has visual flair, but
no purpose. Represents the “vendor trash” side well.
4. Level 50 Nundo
Shedinja
- Why it’s perfect: Has 1 HP. Literally dies to
anything. No use, ever.
- Debate fuel: It's the only Pokémon that’s useless
by design. You can't even pretend it's for PvP or
PvE.
5. Level 50
Nundo Wobbuffet (non-purified)
- Why it’s perfect: Bulk monster only if
purified with perfect IVs. A Nundo does the exact opposite: low CP, no
utility.
- Debate fuel: It’s almost like an
anti-strategy—building the exact wrong Wobbuffet.
6. Level 50 Nundo
Alolan Raticate
- Why it’s perfect: Looks chunky, but useless in both
raids and PvP. A bait tank that folds instantly.
- Debate fuel: It’s a weak gimmick mon that some
people want to believe in, which fuels arguments.
Would you prefer one of these with a bit of a meme caption to kick
off the discussion, or do you want to bait people in with just a
screenshot and let the salt flow naturally?
M: No, no, both of them are
hypothetically nundos.
G: Got it—so the debate is:
Which is the stupider Nundo to max to level
50:
- A hard-to-get Pokémon that could be useful if it
weren’t 0 IV (e.g., Meltan, a mythical with PvP/PvE
relevance),
vs.
- An easily available, universally bad Pokémon that
takes fewer resources but has no value whatsoever even at 100
IV (e.g., Ledian, Dustox, or Castform).
That’s a perfect setup for a fun, slightly masochistic Pokémon GO
flex war.
Here are a few “hypothetical stupid Nundo max” pairs to use for
comparison/discussion:
1. Nundo Meltan vs.
Nundo Ledian
- Meltan: Mythical, candy-locked without events, has Steel
typing and evolution potential. But a Nundo makes it unusable for Master
League or raids.
- Ledian: Trash stats even at 100%. No raid, PvP, or gym
value. But easy to get and cheaper to max.
Debate hook:
“Is it dumber to sink 300 rare candy into something that might’ve
been great, or max out something that could never be great no matter
what?”
2. Nundo Mewtwo vs.
Nundo Dustox
- Mewtwo: Technically the best Pokémon in multiple metas…
unless it's a total garbage IV.
- Dustox: Outclassed by nearly every other Poison and Bug.
Exists for Pokédex filler.
Debate hook:
“Would you rather flex a legendary failure or a common commitment to
mediocrity?”
- Regigigas: Legendary, super high CP, but bad move pool and
no PvP relevance. Still rare and expensive to max.
- Castform: Pure Normal, maxes low, has no niche except being
slightly cute.
Debate hook:
“Which hurts more: maxing a bad legendary, or proudly maxing a
Pokémon nobody even remembers exists?”
Would you like a mock caption for your post that stirs the pot just
enough to get people chiming in?
M: Go ahead, but it definitely needs to
be a Meltan compared to the common version
G: Perfect. Here’s a caption you
can drop with a side-by-side of a Level 50 Nundo Meltan and something
like a Level 50 Nundo Ledian or Castform (Normal Form):
"Which is the stupider Level 50 Nundo
flex?
- A mythical disappointment that took 400+ rare candy to
become a shiny paperweight
vs.
- A dime-a-dozen trashmon that never had potential to begin
with, but at least was cheap to raise.
One’s a tragic waste of resources.
The other’s a deliberate statement of disrespect toward the meta.
Which are you more ashamed to have in your
inventory?"

tweet?
