I thought this article was a good read, its week 40 from the Pokemusings and it discusses the lamest Pokemon of them all. Funnily enough there was no suprises for Quagsire and Sunflora. But they also put into the mix they had Entei and Pikachu which i thought was a laugh honestly. It's a funny read to see what they say. The cake was taken by the star of the show Pikachu.
We have tons of respect for the artists and designers that have worked on all the Pokemon games over the years. Coming up with new and exciting Pokemon is not easy, but the designers have managed to keep things fresh with most of the 493 critters they've concocted. That said, there are a number of Pokemon that are just boring, banal, and redundant. This week's Pokemusings focuses on Pokemon that leave you with a profound sense of "meh."
Above: It's the Pillsbury Dough Pokemon.
Quagsire
Here's a Pokemon that's especially disappointing. When it starts off as Wooper, it's pretty cute, as most things with twigs sticking out of its head tend to be. Its Water/Ground typing gives it all kinds of potential as a combatant. When it evolves into Quagsire, it absolutely fails to live up to its potential, both in terms of looks and battling prowess.
While Quagsire looks like a jolly fellow, it also looks kind of like Godzilla's illegitimate child with the Pillsbury Dough Boy. That's more than a bit disturbing. Although it has high Special Defense and Hit Points, Quagsire is ultimately doomed by its speed (base 35!). Overall, it ends up being a poor man's Swampert. Any sound strategy you can pull off with a Quagsire can be executed exponentially better with a Swampert. It has better stats, a more diverse move pool, and actually looks kind of threatening

Seriously, I've always wondered why they ever made a move like that. Has anyone ever got anything other than "But nothing happened"?
Adding Entei was mostly a 'looks' complaint (especially considering it is a Legendary Pokemon), than an overall ability complaint. Though as far as Legendary Pokemon go, it isn't that great.
There are tons of pokemon that are 'meh'....Mind you, while I have Pokemon Diamond, I haven't played it in ages, and I dunno how many of the newer pokemon I'm not aware of...
But by themselves (ignoring the Gyarados factor), yeah, Magikarp totally suck....I mean, they don't even learn to attack until level 15 was it? Splash doesn't count, since it doesn't do anything...It can't even harm a level 1 pokemon.
Even the weaklings on the list could totally rape Magikarp >_>
As a matter of fact. Entei's cooler looking than Raikou (in my opinion).
I was never a fan of the Poliwag line. Or Rattata and Raticate.
