10 Pokémon Who Deserve Mega Evolutions

7. Wigglytuff

Wigglytuff is one of those unfortunate Pokémon which gets worse as it evolves. Though it's not the only one in this club (Metang, Grotle, Raichu and obviously Duskull all suffer the same fate), most of them tend to evolve again afterwards, as Metang and Grotle do into Metagross and Torterra respectively. Wigglytuff is just stuck.

Wigglytuff is much closer to Raichu in this regard, in that there's not much wrong with them, but they can't hold a candle to their pre evolutions of Jigglypuff and the incomparable Pikachu. Raichu did recently get an Alolan form to encourage evolution though, so there's hope for Wigglytuff yet.

While it's undeniably not as cute as Jiggly, it's bulky and decent enough on its own to deserve more love than it gets. Right now it's the sort of 'mon you'd pick up early and keep around for a little while, but not bother wasting a Moon Stone on.

Clefable too, as a fellow pink Gen I Fairy, comes off worse when compared to the overall cuteness of its pre evolution Clefairy, but the downgrade feels much less notable there, and despite Clefairy once being slated as a potential franchise mascot, has become less iconic than Jigglypuff.
