5 worst Pokemon found in the Sinnoh Region

5) Chatot

There isn't anything appealing about Chatot. It had a cool gimmick when it was first discovered, but trainers quickly learned this Pokemon is worthless. It might even be at the top of the list if it didn't have a 91 Speed stat. With no evolution to work for, Chatot is pretty terrible.

4) Kricketot

Bug-type Pokemon are notoriously bad. There are a few exceptions, like Scizor and Butterfree, but the majority just don't cut it. Take a look at Kricketot and its evolution, Kricketune. They have terrible stats and awful moves to choose from.

3) Cherubi

Weak pure Grass-types are some of the worst Pokemon you can find. If you are picking up Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, stay away from Cherubi and Cherrim. You won't find a single stat over 90, and they both have five pretty commonly found weaknesses.

2) Chingling

Chingling evolves into Chimecho. They are both awful. A decent Special Attack stat is the only positive you can take away from Chingling and its evolution. There are plenty of Dark-types and creatures that can use Dark-type moves making this Psychic-type family a mistake to touch.

1) Burmy

Here is another Bug-type Pokemon. It has a few different forms, with the females evolving into Wormadam and the males evolving into Mothim. Starting with Burmy, its stats are terrible for a first-stage evolution. Wormadam and Mothim aren't much better. Whatever you don't, do make this Pokemon a part of your team.
