10 Absolute Worst Pokémon - Ranked

5. Vanillite/Vanillish/Vanilluxe

Oh sure, make a Pokémon out of ice cream; why not, right? Tropius, Exeggutor and Slurpuff already have the food angle covered pretty well, but one more won't hurt.

There's room in the world for Pokémon of all shapes and sizes. Not all of them need to be fire-breathing, time-traveling weapons of mass destruction, but the only opponent that's going to consider a sentient ice cream cone a threat is pagotaphobia sufferers (it's real) and chronic diabetics. Not a strength to boast about.

Oh, and let's not forget the biggest offense here. Vanillish's evolution into Vanilluxe isn't the addition of a body, or even more flavors other than plain old vanilla, but an additional head. Dugtrio and Dodrio are calling, they want their gimmick back.

Do yourself a favour and leave this one out in the sun for a few minutes.
