Ash's weakest Pokémon, included

Summary

• Some of the Pokémon Asha Ketchumov were disappointed in the battles of the weak, such as Todile, Oshawott and Scraggy.

• Torkoal and Palpitoad did not meet their potential due to poor battle performance and lack of evolution.

• Despite his popularity, butterfree often failed to stand out in battles before he was finally released.

The main character of the original Pokemon Anime, Ash KetchumHe managed to fulfill the monumental task of becoming a world champion, after many years of hard work and more overwhelming defeats. For this reason, he obviously trained some really powerful Pokémon, like his Charizard, his Lucario, his dragon and countless others.

But not all of them were effective in the fight when he saw many others ended surprisingly weakEspecially those who played a specific role in the story. As a result, the battle abilities of some Ash Pokémon have certainly left much desirable and the next eight are the most remarkable examples.

Totodil

Is fun and adorable but nothing more

• First look: Episode 151

Every fan of Pokemon remembers Ash Totodil Because of his delightful appearance and light personality, but this is largely his whole contribution to his team Johno. Totodile was not very strong in the battle, especially compared to the starter of the water type that Ash had previously trained in the Kanto area, his spraying.

Totodile has not only developed, which is already quite evidence of how weak it is, but also has never learned a strong movement of the water type and relied only on the water gun during the whole journey through the Johto area. While he managed to achieve his fair share in victories, he is still one of the most effective starters Pokemon Ash, who has ever trained.

Oshawott

Just should be a stupid comic relief

• First look: Episode 658

Totodile is not the only starter of the Pokémon water in the Asho collection Oshawott He grabbed in the area of ​​Unova, he is also quite infamous for how weak he was. Of course, this can be winged until one reason: it was specifically written as a funny comic relief, instead of a real warrior such as Krookodile or Pignite.

Ash's Oshawott learned several strong water -type movements such as a water pump or a razor shell, but that was largely. Because in his movement he did not have sufficient diversity and enough experience in fighting, eventually lost a surprising number of battles, not to mention that he could never develop in Dewott. Of course, many of Ash Pokémon could have become surprisingly strong without developing (like Pikachu or Bulbasaur), but Oshawott is definitely not one of them.

Gaunt

A newborn baby with lots of unaffected potential

• First look: Episode 674

While traveling around the Unova region, Ash Ketchum received a mysterious egg that eventually hatched into a Gaunt. Initially, it looked like a great complement to his team, especially if he managed to develop him in a powerful harsh, but the young Pokémon ended quite disappointing.

Scraggy learned a few strong movements, such as the focus of focus or a high jump kick, but because of his young age it took him quite a lot of time to fully manage, not to mention that he had never learned any such movements. When there was a fight, he had the right approach, but was unable to achieve many victories, which explains why Ash used it only in one battle in the gym. This is a real shame because Scraggy had great potential and it would be great to see him developing in cheeky.

5

Torkoal

Krybaby who lost too much battle

• First look: Episode 332

Pokemon series: Ruby and Sapphire He did something completely unprecedented: instead of catching and training a fire -type starter (such as Charizard or Cyndaquil), he was a prominent member of the Hoenn Fire type in the Hoenn Wild Pokémon area. The only real problem is that he said Pokemon and TorkoalThis is not particularly strong or impressive.

Needless to say, Ash's Torkoal lived until the reputation of its kind by participating in some really important battle-like battle, semifinal or Sinnoh League-A almost all of them. He had some solid movements he had, such as wool or overheating, but the main problem of Torkoal was his emotional and cowardly personality who never allowed him to achieve his full potential.

4

Palpitoad

He managed to lose against Pokemon, where he had the advantage of the type

• First look: Episode 689

During Black and white The series, Ash did something special, but interesting: instead of catching and using only five Pokémon for his team, he caught much more than it and turned them around. Unfortunately, although it was a decent idea, it has resulted in the fact that many of its team members were weak and insufficiently developed, and there is no better example than his Palpitoad.

Ash used Palpitoad in two different battles in the gym against Eles and Roxie, but lost to his appropriate pokemon, although he had an apparent advantage of the type. In addition, he was not used in battle very often, nor did he learn any new movements. Perhaps if it has evolved in Seismmitoad, it could become a real force to count on, but because it remained a weak palpitoad with a very little experience, eventually became one of the most forgotten Pokémon that Ash has ever caught and trained.

3

Aipom

In the first place she never really liked

• First look: Episode 453

During Ruby & Sapphire series, Ash caught a malicious little Aipom That chased him and tried to steal his hat several times. Interestingly, she was mostly interested in participating in Pokémon competitions and she was so popular with Ash that she even accompanied him in the Sinnoh region.

Then he constantly participated in the aipom of several other competitions before Ash exchanged it for dawn for her bundle. The fact that it has never used it in any important Pokemon battles combined with its enthusiasm for competitions is sufficient evidence of how ineffective aipom was in the fight, so it was good to have her business places with Buizel, which was much stronger and enjoyed much more.

2

Butterfree

Ash's second Pokémon was surprisingly weak

• First look: Episode 002

Ash is Butterfree He is one of the most famous characters in the whole show because he was the first pokemonist that the protagonist ever caught (and the second member of his team after Pikach), which led to the fact that Ash created a narrow bond with him. In fact, however, this butterfree was surprisingly weak and did not work well in battle.

When he fought, he relied mostly on state movements, such as strings, sleep or stunning, which were quite useful, but lacked any right power to properly eliminate his opponents. Needless to say, Butterfree's disappointment can be explained by the fact that Ash was a novice coach at this point, and because he was released only twenty episodes later, he was never able to be stronger as all other members of Ashova Karto team.

Tauros (x29)

Twenty -nine Pokémon that never used in battle

• First look: Episode 035

When Ash and his friends explored the Safari Zone, he accidentally caught several Tauros that repeatedly ran in front of his safari balls. Because of this cheerful situation, Ash ended up with a herd of thirty different Tauros, which he had to send immediately to Professor Oak's laboratory. He used only one of these Tauros in many battles, and it turned out to be surprisingly strong, especially because she played a key role in the battles against Drake The Orange League Champion and Anabel The Frontier Brain.

But what about all the other tauros he caught? This is true, he never used any of them to battle Pokémon, so they lived peacefully in the laboratory and without any care set out the whole open plains. While some of Ash's next Pokémon, like his butterfree or his aipom, proved to be quite weak, at least they had some combat experiences, and the same cannot be said of the remaining twenty -nine Tauros.
