The Five Worst Pokémon in Alola: Avoid Them at All Costs in Pokémon Sun and Moon

These are the Pokémon that you must avoid at all costs in Pokémon Sun and Moon.

As happened with the previous console, on Nintendo 3DS we could see how Pokémon had two different generationsbeing so that after the arrival in 3D that Pokémon X and Pokémon Y supposed, it could be seen that Game Freak took the titles to the limit through Pokemon sun and moonbeing these titles that led us to tour Alola and that managed to break with several of the traditional mechanics of the saga, such as the MOs that caused so many headaches in the past.

Now, at a competitive level, it must be said that here it already began to be noticed that many pokemon were made in order to be useful in combatbeing so that in its day we met the best Pokémon of the seventh generation that managed not only to reach the top, but also helped many others to stand out above what they had done in other generations. And all this without forgetting that it has been the only generation that has allowed to have two mechanics at the same time: Mega Evolution and Z Moves.

The seventh generation was the first to expand the Pokédex in the middle of its trajectory

However, here we are to talk about the negative, thereby giving rise to the fact that, after our time in the top 5 of the worst Pokémon of the sixth generation in Kalos, now it is the turn of those Pokémon that were introduced in the seventh generation, which must be treated twice, since this was the first in expand the Pokedex with the arrival of the Ultra versions of Pokémon Sun and Moon.

And although in general in these tops we are not discarding, in this case it is necessary to clarify that a group of Pokémon will not be present in the top, since Alolan forms fall out of the same. And this in a way is a relief for one, since, if it weren’t for this, Alolan Raticate would take the first place. With that said, let’s meet the Five Worst Alola Pokemon.

Minor

Minior is a Pokémon with various forms.

With Minior it must be said that although it is not that it is a bad Pokémon, when it comes to making a ranking, it has ended up falling downwards, even though it is a Rock/Flying-type Pokémon with a pretty good skill that prevents state changes, but at the same time it is very situational. And it is that with this Pokémon we also have the Fastest Pokémon that uses Shellbreakerwhich makes it an option to take into account.

In fact, his ability limited shield it makes his Defense and Special Defense so high while preventing these status changes that he can use the mentioned movement without fear of getting damaged, so that once he reaches his core form his Attack and Speed ​​go up so much that with the increase previous an Earthquake or a Sharp Rock of his can make more than one tremble.

However, the bad thing about this Pokémon is how situational it is to use it, while in order to do this combo it is necessary that it have 50% PS or lessbeing this something that causes the rival and that can spoil the entire strategy, since we cannot forget that it is weak to Water, Electric and Steel, so any of these movements could leave it KO in one hit.

Guzzlord

Guzzlord is the worst Ultra entity

Although Guzzlord as an Ultra entity does not fall into the category of Legendary Pokémon, it must be said that the presence of this Pokémon here has a double reason, since on the one hand we can see that it represents a wasted potential in every way, thus giving rise to the fact that it is, within the lore of the games, the strongest Ultra entity, but when it comes to fighting a battle it is simply worthless.

The reason for this is due to very poorly distributed statistics that do not allow him to shine at anything, added to a nefarious type combination with Fairy-type moves everywhere and a poor list of moves it can learn. And all this means that it barely stands up.

And it is that, being clear, Guzzlord is one of the biggest disappointments in Pokémon, being so that it could perfectly be in the first place if it were a common Pokémon. However, the fact that he has Ultraimpulse makes him climb a few positions for very little, although does not save him from burning.

Bag

Pyukumuku is a slow Pokémon focused on the defensive end.

Perhaps it is not as disappointing as it is with Guzzlord, but the truth is that Pyukumuku apart from having a name that can confuse It is a Pokémon that focuses on the defensive side, limiting itself to use support moves such as Toxic, Recovery, Blocking, among many others that, unfortunately, do not get much use out of it, knowing that there are other species that do the same and better.

In fact, the most common strategy is that, taking advantage of his low Speed, Pyukumuku goes into combat predicting what the opponent is going to do, giving way to him using Counterattack or Mirror Mantle depending on the situation, this being a very similar strategy to the one with Wobbuffet. However, the latter does it much better than Pyukumuku.

And this is not something that only has to do with arriving first, but, to have this role, Pyukumuku should have more Ps in their statistics, this being the case, this is very low, thus achieving that they do not take any advantage of their very high Defenses. And while it doesn’t get to the point of wasted potential for Guzzlord, the reality is that a readjustment of its stats could have given a much better Pokémon.

Komala

Komala has an ability that prevents status changes

Pokémon fans had to wait seven generations to finally have their Pokemon koalabeing that Komala is this Pokémon reflecting the behavior of this animal in the best possible way, since this Pokémon has the perennial torpor skillwhich means that he cannot undergo any change of state, since, despite not being, in battle he is considered to be asleep.

Now, this may have its advantages, since it is not possible to burn or paralyze it, but at the same time it makes be vulnerable on other fronts, since it doesn’t have a chance to learn Rest at the moment, since this attack would miss. In the same way, it can be affected by Nightmares, Dreameaters or Bad Dreams without the rival having to do anything else.

And while it is true that this ability protects you from these status changes, the thing is that the price is not worth itsince some species such as Gholdengo or even Minior itself in its meteorite form they are also not affected by status changesbut they do it in a much better way.

Gumshoos

Gumshoos is the worst Pokémon in Alola

And just like what happened with Watchog, in the seventh generation we can see that the worst pokemon is the regional rodentbeing so, like the rest of the members of the list, perhaps it would not have been in this top if it had come out in another generation, but to César what belongs to César: Gumshoos is the worst Pokémon in Alola.

The reasons are quite obvious, since although it is capable of attacking with great power, which with Adaptive as an ability can go even further in case of using Body Slam or Recoil, the truth is that Basculin does that too and it’s a much better pokemon. In fact, set to attack, it is better to take a badly trained Garchomp than a competitive Gumshoos because even in these circumstances it has everything to lose.

For all this, and in the absence of the Alola Raticate I should have been the lucky one to take this honorit can only be distinguished that Gumshoos is the worst of the seventh generationbeing so that it is not even useful to teach MOs, since in this generation they disappeared.
