10 Absolute Worst Pokémon - Ranked

3. Trubbish/Garbodor

Thanks, Game Freak, for not even bothering to dress this one up - these fellas are literal garbage.

Think of Trubbish and Garbador as the spiritual successors to Grimer and Muk, only worse. At least those putrid mounds of refuse had a somewhat believable origin in that they evolved to live in harmony with mankind's toxic cast-offs.

And how, pray tell, in any sane world, does the method of evolution make sense here? Look closely now: Garbador's the result of Trubbish's entire body splitting open to form some semblance of a body from its innards. Since when did Pokémon start taking inspiration from body horror films?

Distort the definition of natural selection whichever way you please, there's no accounting for the logic behind this trashy design.
