Delibird is also one of the few wild Pokémon in Johto that was given the “Flee” mechanic, meaning it can run away from you if you encounter it in the wild. I spent *hours* trying to catch one as a kid, but between its low encounter rate, low catch rate and willingness to flee, I never managed it. I never knew mean look existed back then

Counter argument: these pokemon are rare because they suck at surviving.

Farfetched's rarity can be explained with lore, Farfetched's backstory is actually pretty sad, it was common a while ago but because it was delicious people hunted them to almost extinction.

Fun Fact about Chimecho: It was the VERY LAST Pokémon programmed into Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire even after Jirachi and Deoxys. Its so forgettable they almost forgot to program it into the game. I think thats why its in 1 area at a 2% encounter rate.

"No one should ever be using a Delibird for any reason"

Unless it's a cyborg, then it's Uber.

To add insult to injury, even after Murkrow and Misdreavus were made available before beating the League in HG/SS, you still couldn’t use them in a Johto playthrough since the Dusk Stone wasn’t obtainable until after getting the National Dex.

"beedrill and butterfree's purpose is suppose to be bridge pokemon"

Me, who still uses Butterfree in any of their kanto

fun fact wobbufett 's name in japanese means thats right, so every time when he pops out of jessie's pokeball to say thats right it tends to be after ash or his friends mock team rocket and wobbufett agrees with them

[GreenDinoRanger]

That's hilarious that Delibird is only found in Ice Path. My first time playing Soul Silver I was rushing to fight Claire and my first encounter was a shiny Delibird. My first shiny ever

[maxpowers]

I like the idea of weak and rare Pokémon. It's realistic as weaker animals are often facing extinction. I think it would fun if a few weak Pokémon were so rare, that the Pokédex didn't cover them, and the professor in the game was surprised about their existence. It would be a nice bit of lore if later games showed their numbers going up, do to breeding efforts to save them.

mikey: "Wobbuffet is useless, 99% of the time."
me: "If it's not 100% accurate, it's 50% accurate"

I still don't understand why alomomola isn't the evolution of luvdisc.

[Myron_The_Slavicwolf]

I kind of get Johto having so many weak Pokemon, since it's treated more like an expansion of Kanto rather than a completely different region. Almost every Kanto Pokemon is available in Johto, and for the most part, Kanto Pokemon are gonna make up a majority of your Johto playthrough team. The same is true for other prominent Johto trainers.

Mikey: Castform isn't worth using
Also Mikey: Beats ORAS with only Castform

[darthkhedo]

Imagine, somewhere in an alternate universe in the pokemon world there's an animal tuber making a video of the 20 rarest animals you should not catch. It's just not worth it for the animaldex.

#8 Dunsparce...

When I was younger, I thought it evolved into Gligar. I had an obsession with only catching base forms, and never catching evolved forms, because the anime made me feel that I'd have a better bond with pokemon

I leveled that Dunsparce, ignoring my friends who said it doesn't evolve, until I eventually either gave up or found out online

[heroponjohn]

Misdreavus might not be the best pokemon but it will always have a place in my heart because of a certain spinoff... "It Doesn't Affect MISDREAVUS"

[thehydrator]

Gruntyboy: Steals Some if Mikey’s stuff
Mikey: “UGH, well anyway”
