Fully evolved Pokemon with the worst treatment.

Simisear, it faces stiff competition from other Fire mons, being outclassed by Torkoal, Emboar, and even Rapidash and sp defensive Flareon, at least it's no Heatmor or Magcargo

The three monkeys suck in general. Even when Black and White first came out I knew they would be weak.

Why is emboar still fighting, i don't know... Maybe theres a good reason (there HAVE to be a good reason) for the last three fire starters gaining that type, but we just don't know it u_u

I blame the Chinese Zodiac. All of the fire-starters have so far been represented by the zodiac in some iteration (sometimes by more than one for each species evo-line). Charizard = dragon. Cyndaquil = mouse. Combusken = rooster. Infernape = monkey. Tepig = hog. Why the last three have been fighting, who knows. Maybe it was to aid the in-game experience.

Both Infernape and Emboar are based on characters of this history:

Sun Wukong and Zhu Baije, respectively.
They are yet to create Pokémon based on Sha Wujing and Xuanzang...

Also, Cyndaquil is a echidna, not a mouse.

You're not implying that it's one of the pokemon with the worst treatment right?
Umbreon obviously isn't meant to be a powerhouse sweeper. It excels in defense and support.

nope not the worst treatment. Just putting it out there.

Flareon copped it the worst. Mine I turned into a special just because the physical movepool was so underwhelming.

Pidgeot. I love it and still use it, but it's stats are pretty bad. Noctowl too.

I know how bad Flareon is, high 130 Attack but its only physical Fire attacks (Fire Fang and Flame Charge) are really weak.

can we count Entei as well since its only the event ones that get Flare Blitz and not able to get it purely by levelling up?

Payback. Always going to be 100 base power anyway.

It actually has enough offensive movepool. Curse to boost Attack, Payback as a main attack as well as STAB move, Return and Iron Tail for coverage.
The only thing it needs now, is a Fight move, for the wide Dark + Fight coverage.
(however, the Fight move can't be something like Close Combat or Superpower, since both of those have side effect that is bad for Umbreon)

So yeah, it isn't the worst Eeveelution.

How about magmortar i mean look at it's speed its just like,,,,, yeah :/

Jumpluff is an example of terrible stats, Umbreon with it's bad move pool, and Scizor with it's terrible speed.

You must be trolling.

Jumpluff's terrible stats are offset by a decent support / annoyance movepool. Umbreon has an awesome support moveset, having access to Wish, Heal Bell, Moonlight, and a host of other options. Scizor gets Technician Bullet Punch. Speed doesn't matter.


EDIT: Spinda. All gimmick Pokemon have their niche, except this thing. I'd seriously rather use Castform.

Although I suppose Contrary Superpower might be nice, it's still not threatening at all coming from something with 60 in all of his base stats.

Ah yes, very astute. Except that all five fire starters are on the Chinese Zodiac, and if you read the Pokedex from 1999 on, Cyndaquil is in fact the Fire Mouse Pokemon. This is of course regardless of it's real world "counterpart".

I could care less about Monkey Kings and Prohibition Pigs. Leave that to Goku and friends.

I say Lopunny has it bad. It's quick, sure. But if a rabbit can deliver jump kicks to the face, doesn't it deserve some better Atk? Better yet, throw in moar Sp. Def. IT AIN'T ENOUF.
