10 Worst Middle-Stage Pokémon

8. Gloom

Is, uh... is this thing okay? Like, is it asleep? Is it high? I mean, it is called the "weed Pokemon," so it's possible, I suppose.

All joking aside, people want to use Pokémon that look powerful; Pokémon that could most certainly defend your honor in battle. But Gloom? Gloom just looks stupid. I mean, its name is quite literally a word that means "a state of depression or despondency". Who wants to use a Pokémon whose name is a synonym for "misery"?

It honestly feels kind of cruel, using Gloom. Thankfully, you can just find a Leaf Stone or a Sun Stone and evolve it quickly so that you don't have to deal with it for too long.

...seriously, can someone please check in on Gloom?
