10 Worst Middle-Stage Pokémon

"Oh, come on..."

This was pretty much the universal reaction to Quilladin when it was revealed. Chespin was adorable, and fans had high hopes that the evolution line would rival the Bulbasaur or Treecko lines as one of the better Grass starter lines.

But then, they gave us Quilladin.

So, we go from a cute little chipmunk in a hoodie to chipmunk... sphere? Couldn't an opponent beat this thing easily by just tipping it? And what point is there in trying to use a bulky Grass-type when Grass is one of the worst defensive types in the game, especially comparative to Water and Fire-types? Yes, Quilladin has high physical Defense, but what is that worth when it has five weaknesses, three of which (Fire, Ice, and Poison) are primarily Special Attacking types?

It's a shame that Quilladin sucks so bad because its final evolution is rather cool. What a waste of a middle evolution.
