Ranking All 151 Original Pokémon From Worst To Best

146. Clefairy

035 Clefairy
Nintendo

Clefairy is that person in your friendship group that puts exclamation marks on the end of every sentence and still uses text speak long into their late 20s. On Tinder they describe themselves as "bubbly! ahaaa!"

145. Golbat

042 Golbat
Nintendo

F*** Golbat.

144. Fearow

022 Fearow
Nintendo

From a game perspective, Fearow wasn't as weak you'd have expected but was still absolutely useless in regards to its moveset. In Pokémon the First Movie, a trainer actually dies while trying to cross the storm on one and, if we're being honest, it served them right.

143. Rattata

19 Rattata
Nintendo

In of itself, a Rattata has no redeeming qualities in either the games or the wider media. However, that whole Joey and his Top Percentage Rattata meme was pretty good so it's got a bit of mystique in that regard.

142. Tentacool

72 Tentacool
Nintendo

Tentacool, for all its qualities and interesting abilities, is essentially the Zubat of the sea. And F**k Zubats of the sea.
