50 Pokémon You NEVER Want to Encounter

[@amateraceon5202]

Having just replayed Kalos, Route 13 is genuinely AWFUL, and half the reason is because of the wild encounters being almost exclusively Trapinch and Diglett that you can't run from, are immune to Repels because they're on the overworld, and only go away by literally standing still and doing nothing, hands down contender for one of if not the single worst Route in all of Pokemon

[@s0lsticefr4]

if you have a flying type, you can run from pokemon with arena trap, this isn't always the case but it's still useful to know

[@toumabyakuya]

You can also avoid them by staying on the road.

[@deanpetersen8691]

Plus it comes with a Power Plant tease

[@ado-]

the worst part is that you get the smoke ball only two routes later

[@ado-]

technically you can go out of your way to go to route 3 and catch a run away dunsparce since both route 4 and route 13 are next to lumiose but who cares that much lol

[@_DewGaming]

Surprised there was no mention of pokemon in Scarlet and Violet that walk into your model while you are still in a battle, causing you to be in an endless cycle of encountering wild pokemon.

[@energyshatty9020]

I’m honestly surprised Wobuffett in particular wasn’t mentioned, as it’s probably the worst possible encounter to have in a nuzlocke

[@matthewkuscienko4616]

It technically was mentioned, or at least alluded to, when talking about Pokemon that have trapping abilities. Maybe it could've been mentioned specifically, but that might've been a bit redundant

[@energyshatty9020]

@@matthewkuscienko4616 The difference between most pokemon with counter moves and Wobuffett though is that once youre in a battle with Wobuffett your pokemon is FAR more likely to die. Pokemon like trapinch and dugtrio may be annoying, but as long as you’re not in an incredibly disadvantagous position you’d probably be fine. Wobuffett on the other hand is equipped with a multitude of counter moves, so once you hit it, it’ll likely hit back FAR harder (At it will most likely survive at least one attack as Wobuffetts rlly tanky). PLUS!! It has destiny bond, which makes dealing with Wobuffett FAR more annoying and potentially lethal. Sure, pokemon with trapping moves are annoying in general, but Wobuffett is easily the worst of the bunch

[@youtube-kit9450]

Probably because you pretty much never encounter Wobbuffet like that. in Kanto, theyre in the post-game cerulean cave and sevii islands. In Johto they're in the optional dark cave. In Hoenn, they're in the optional safari zone. In Sinnoh, they're in the postgame pokéradar. They just straight up aren't in Unova or Alola. From Galar on, it's easy to dodge them since they're slow overworld encounters. Kalos is the big exception where they are 10% encounters in the mandatory Reflection cave. And honestly, I'm very sure the huge infamy of Diglett/Dugtrio and Trapinch solely comes from that godforsaken route 13 in Kalos since otherwise they often are in optional areas or postgame otherwise. In difference to reflection cave and Wobbuffets, you cannot just avoid them with repels, but also your movement often is slowed because of winds, they're fast overworld encounters, and you can only escape them by standing still, and the route is solely infested by them (aside from 20% Gible) vs. reflectioncave at having lots of other encounters. Thus why he didn't specifically point out Wobbuffet since you basically never meet them unless it's exactly a randomized pokémon encounter nuzlocke, which probably a lot of people have watched youtubers do, but I'll assume will be a very niche thing people actually play.@@energyshatty9020

[@youtube-kit9450]

I feel like Wobbuffet mostly doesn't get mentioned because outside of Kalos' Reflection cave, you only encounter Wobbuffets in optional or post-game areas. And even in Kalos, Reflection Cave's Wobbuffets (which can at least be repel'd) are mostly overshadowed by that infamous route 13. Hence why he didn't feel the need to specifically point it out.

The place she appears in is full of mud that will slow you down, tons of other wild Pokémon that will attack you, and her own attack confuses you if you get hit, plus it’s nearly impossible to avoid. Getting close enough to throw enough things at her to drop her guard enough to start a battle is a pipe dream, you will die over and over again. I only caught her through sheer dumb luck, by spamming Jet Balls. I was trying to drop her guard from a safe distance and then quickly switch to throwing out my Hisuian Goodra, but the last ball actually caught her and she stayed in it. I am NEVER going through that again if I play the game a second time in the future. 🤦‍♂
