Top 10 WEAKEST Pokemon in Scarlet and Violet

[@mayauppstad9883]

Usually I'd agree that toedscruels ability is pretty bad, but possibly being the only pokemon in the format that can use status moves on gholdengo could end up being pretty important considering how tight of a grip gholdengo has on the current meta.

[@shadowmewfred09]

Exactly plus being a ground type it's basically a gholdengo counter, also it means rage powder is useless against it so amonguss is also nerfed

[@snapclub8751]

Plus, you could pair it up with Prankster Doodle Grafaiai.

[@OnyxLeigion]

It honestly feels like it was made specifically to be a ghokdengo counter

[@aliastheabnormal]

Honestly i just Todescruel to hit things. Really, really, hard. It works well enough for me.

[@WilliamX5000]

Personally for me, Toedscruel is part of my latest Top 10 Weakest Ground type Pokemon, but it's the best of the weakest Ground type Pokemon that are in the games as of now.

[@stevenquartz3743]

Gamefreak after making the convergent evolutions so bad: "Why would Paldea do this?"

[@thatman666]

At least paradox Pokemon made up for it.

[@galvagames7490]

Hey that’s just DunDunsparce

[@darkarcheos]

At least next time make Convergent Pokémon have abilities which don’t hinder its usage and drive it to the ground to be nearly useless to only have if as an entry within your Pokédex

[@Boza_]

I love paldean wooper though

[@randomsnapperson8008]

@@Boza_ thats a regional form, the converget species are kinda like regional forms, but they have a different name.

[@occ3616]

Toedscruel being on here is kinda iffy, it’s ability at first glance might seem bad but it’s actually really good against Pokémon that resist status with their abilities like this gens Gholdengo or Garganacl since your ability actually penetrates their ability allowing you to sleep them with Spore.

[@watcherknight8760]

It's crazy that with all the broken tools Gamefreak gave other pokemon this gen, Annihilape's Rage Fist, Gholdengo's crazy signature move and ability, Kingambit's base stats and abilities, the Ruin legendaries abilities, Houndstone's Last Respects, PALAFIN, they were obviously the most scared of giving a mon with a good speed stat Spore, Gamefreak really broke Toedscruel's kneecaps with that ability

[@darcreave2683]

But tbh, if they didn’t hinder it in some way, it would be INSANELY annoying. They kinda backed themselves into a corner with Toedscruel

[@BlackavarGaming]

Sunflora with solar power as it’s ability, max SpAtk (base 105) and choice specs is not a weak Pokémon if it’s utilised on a sunny day trick Room team. It also gets coverage including weather ball, earth power and dazzling gleam on top of solar beam. Effort? Yes. But is definitely not the weakest Pokémon.

[@heyu2661]

Like at this point this has to be engagement bait. Jumpluff, toedscruel, sunflora all don’t deserve to be on this list and mons like delibird definitely do

[@superspy4776]

MysticUmbreon isn't a very competitive vgc player, so I would cut him some slack. Most of the pokemon here on the list is good for utility.

[@heyu2661]

@@superspy4776 i mean sunflora and jumpluff are definitely moreso doubles Pokémon but toedscruel isn’t even bad in singles either

Little correction : Trick Room forces you to move last anyways so that's the one status move that Toadscruel can use without any downside coming from its awful ability.

[@stardf29]

GameFreak gave Toedscruel Mycelium Might specifically because they didn’t want a mon with base 100 Speed throwing Spores all over the place

I swear delibird is right there. How did it not get a mention?

Delibird got a huge buff so maybe he decided to take mercy on it for the step in the right direction

[@NachoWindham]

@@crustpunkjesuschrist Delibird didn’t get a buff at all from what I’ve seen. Iron bundle is a seperate pokemon

[@metal-fletch6186]

Looking forward to your Best Team for this game! Your teams inspired me to do my own research and planning for Gen9. Accounting for Gym Leaders, Team Star, Elite 4, and Titans, I figured most useful types would be: Ground, Fire, Fighting, Fairy, Dark, Steel, and Psychic. This left a weakness to Ground, Water, and Flying that could be covered with Grass and/or Ice. I really want to see if my math checks out, and how close I was to a real Best Team!

[@theskoomacat3106]

Sunflora really needs an evolution (even if it looks the same but a longer neck)

[@zephon6745]

How about a grass/fire Sunflora evolution?

[@Just-J2]

id like a rock fighting sudowoodo evo as well

[@mistersureshot1749]

Unfortunetely, I don't think Sunflora can evolve again, because its a stone evolution, stone evolution pokemon can't evolve again. Sunflora should've gotten a Paradox form.

Surprised you didn't mention Lumineon, and Delibird.

[@malachirodrigues3013]

I don't think todescruel is that bad. Sp.def 120 and speed 100, it can be decent enough even though it's dual typing is worst ground and grass 4 times weak to ice but it has spore which is 100 percent accurate.

[@DDKoD]

It’s a lot better than another Pokemon he hypes the living hell out of that’s for sure lmao

[@sirquixano5985]

Yeah, its a really good assault vester, and it gets acid spray and giga drain, both great for assault vest mons.

[@zeospark9715]

Yeah and ice-types are usually not common to run into since the typing is still overall meh. Todescruel just need to watch out for Water-types that may have an ice move to counter it with

[@TuckOka]

Lol quite the impressive Kricketune impression at 7:52

[@michaelaburns734]

The only thing I like about the Hypno I got in Soul Silver is that it is shiny. I didn't catch on yet in Scarlet. Jumpluff? Yeah I did see it. However I used one in Colosseum and he kept dodging and help me in status aide.

[@GreySamyaa]

I feel that Same way about my Parasect in Let's Go

[@Wynneception]

I love the Hoppip line more than most people because it was the first wild shiny I ever caught. Also I solo’d Whitney on a flying type only run with an underlevelled Skiploom who only knew Stun Spore, Flash, Bullet Seed and Synthesis. It was so fun trolling her and her not being able to hit me.

[@madpsycho6]

I used a Jumpluff in my playthrough, it has been very useful

[@Shmoovy7]

Kinda shocked that you didn't mention Delibird, that thing is absolute garbage. I also think that Luvdisc should be #1, as Sunflora is actually tanky enough to usually live at least one hit while firing back with a decently strong attack.

[@ldmtag]

I know you're talking about competitive viability, I'm just sad about Jumpluff being this high on the list after having a BLAST using it against Titans in my Scarlet. This thing refuses to die even from pokemon of 1.5 times higher level, it's fenominally fast with Chlorophyll, and Leech Seed is BROKEN if the opponent can't switch out. I know it's different from competitive, but so far Jumpluff has been my MOST RELIABLE team member, and I think I have a new favorite Grass type. And Flying type. Btw, Grass/Flying is a FEMOMENAL type combo for auto battles! It's SE against every popular small pokemon you wanna fight to boost your Exp. to complete Path of Legends without beating the gyms. And also Jumpluff is one of the most Johto-nostalgic mons in existance.

[@RainbowDarts]

Here for all the Jumpluff love! Johto forever 💓✨️

[@heyu2661]

Yeah idk what he’s smoking either tbh it holds it’s not popular in ranked doubles but it is effective at what it does with pollen puff tailwind sleep powder rage powder encore etc etc no reason to have it on the list at all

[@EternalZoroark]

TBH I wouldn’t say Arboliva’s movepool is terrible. Like, yeah, that movepool ain’t much, but Dazzling Gleam and Earth Power are pretty good coverage moves

[@malachirodrigues3013]

What about squawkabilliy? He is also the weakest Pokemon.

[@mike1989libra]

Toedscreud seems powerful when facing it that’s crazy

[@Arcanas3]

Probably because the AI doesn't have it use status moves

[@jonahdengler3858]

Yeah. Due to Hypno’s mediocre stats, I decided to replace it with an Espeon for my primary Psychic-type Z-Move User. Hypno is still awful as the years still go. 😕

[@PunishedPrince]

that does it! i’m gonna use a sunflora when i finally get scarlet

[@AdPhDu1]

I used Wugtrio on my team. I got it to level 73 before I finally decide to switch it.

[@Captianhammer123]

Gotta disagree with toedscruel, having statues moves always hit and ignoring abilities is great especially in competitive. Plus it can use trick room it’s a great support for competitive. Even casual having statues moves always hit is nice for catching etc.

[@justinterry2926]

I haven't seen it get much use

[@violeth2255]

Small note, it ignores abilities only while the attack is being made. You'll paralyze a limber or sleep an insomnia Pokémon only for the ability to cure the status condition immediately after.

[@ACPritchard]

Inner focus hypno is an S tier trick room setter

[@ACPritchard]

Holding herb hypno can’t be taunted or flinched which means they have to double attack him to prevent trick room. Rage powder or follow me solves that which means hypno gets TR up almost 100% of the time

[@zelgadisgreywolf8313]

I don't think anyone is going to agree with you on Toadscruiel, when it is even highly recommended to use that mon by many pokemon content creators...

[@andreicuisinecapital]

Vespiquen is amazing. She’s a decent wall if you can use her properly. She was pretty good during the early meta of SwSh. She can work well if you know how to use her.

[@darreldorigatti862]

Kind of agree. Bad typing, but not a bad Mon. Seriously, Vespiquin was never "bad" like that. Bad choice, Umbreon. You know who else has a bad typing (just typing, that's it)? Meowscarada What? Everyone's favorite? Yes. That is a dog shit typing. Weak to everything with no coverups. I've determined that's what's "up with him". Awesome movepool. Horrible typing.

[@VGGBrayden]

I’m so disappointed that Toedscruel is a bad Pokémon because Tentacruel isn’t in the game

[@ZeroSnake]

I'm so old that there is a top 10 pokemon list that does not include Magicarp. Wow

[@screechingtoad2683]

I think what Spidops is trying to do is be a bulky support mon. But it really needs at least 10 more HP and special defense, and 20 more defense in order to do that role at least somewhat decently Edit: Solar power Sunflora WOULD be an ok glass cannon in doubles IF a fast Pokémon is released with drought and access to trick room

[@snapclub8751]

I feel embarrassed seeing Wugtrio in this list since I actually used on in my playthrough of Scarlet.

[@zeospark9715]

"Water typically prefers to be defensive." Not when this game got rid of every Water-type's best friend: Scald lol

I strongly disagree with your pick of Jumpluff. It is really good in VGC. It doesn't have prankster, but it has 110 base speed, chlorophyll, and respectable bulk. A fast sleep powder user is always scary, especially if it has Rage powder and Tailwind. I would not surprise at all if Jumpluff wins any Regional Tournament this gen, in fact it had won Regionals in Gen 6 on Groudon team, but it also works outside of Sun team, or work as a counter to Sun team. I also disagree with your pick of Toedscruel and Hypno. Toedscruel has a negative ability, but it is still really good. Stats is good, coverage is good, and spore/trick room are still good despite the ability. Hypno is decent. It is getting outclassed by normal/psychic pokemon, but it's still very usable. It is surprisingly bulky, and there is 10 thousands ways to run it.
