Pokemon I WONT Use

Today's update is going over Pokemon I've personally used in the Pokemon games in the past where I've learned from experience that they're horrible Pokemon in battle and you won't be catching me using them again anytime soon...

So here are 10 Pokemon I won't use ever again

1. Sharpedo

Sharpedo, while a great physical attacker on its own, and great speed to boot, suffers tremendously in the defense department. Sharpedo has one of the worst defense stats in existence, ranking as low as first & middle stage evolution Pokemon. From my experience with Sharpedo, if it was hit once, and not by a super effective move either, it dies. It's defense is so horrible, it can't even withstand one attack. Therefore, Sharpedo is the definition of a glass cannon. It's got great attack, but so fragile one attack can doom it.

2. Tinkaton

In my playthough of Scarlet/My second playthrough of the Scarlet/Violet games, I wanted to try new Pokemon that I didn't use in my first playthrough and Tinkaton was at the top of my list. Yeah, I can see why so many people say this Pokemon sucks now. Tinkaton has HORRIBLE attack stats and is only useful if you teach it attack increasing Moves such as Swords Dance. What put the nail in the coffin for me on Tinkaton was when I was battling Nemona's Skeledirge that was 6 levels under my Tinkaton. I had Tinkaton use a super effective move against it, and not even a fifth of Skeledirge's health bar was depleted from said attack. I'm one of those people who don't prefer to use Stat increasing Moves, therefore, I don't have the time and dedication to keep Tinkaton on my team.

3. Umbreon
