10 Worst Middle-Stage Pokémon

9. Gurrdurr

Gurrdurr is quite the mixed bag, isn't it?

It's got a face like Ernie from Sesame Street, it's got a weird skin afro, it carries around a huge metal girder everywhere it goes, and it has these huge, protruding veins all over its body. It's pretty gross to look at, frankly.

And to make matters worse, Gurrdurr can't evolve unless its traded, meaning that if you're like the many Pokémon players who fly solo, you're going to be stuck with this thing forever.

It is somewhat salvaged by its objectively-great attack stat and solid bulk, which makes it viable in some areas of competitive play, but ultimately it cannot subvert its grossness.

Good lord, man, go see a cardiovascular specialist...
