Ranking All 151 Original Pokémon From Worst To Best

136. Ekans

Look, now that the really bad ones are out of the way, everything from there to about 60-50 is much of a muchness. Nothing wrong with them per se, but also nothing that interesting. Ekans typifies this better than most.

135. Metapod

Metapod gets a lot of hate for literally just being able to harden without doing anything useful. But it works for your dad, so, you know...

134. Kakuna

Exactly the same as Metapod but at least with Kakuna you can tell which side the front is. Also unleashes a GODDMAN BEE.

133. Pidgey

Weak, bad moves, but fair play to Pidgey. Most players caught one early and stuck with it through the bulk of their game.

132. Tangela

Proof, if any was needed, that just because a Pokémon was quite rare to catch doesn't mean it was in anyway good. Tangela is, and was, a gigantic waste of everyone's time.
