All 100 Gen 2 Pokémon: Ranked from Worst to Best l4k1r
I made the error of ranking all 151 Pokemon originals from worst to most. Despite the death threats and people trying to get me to stop writing, a few people said that they enjoyed it. Thank you, mom. 5cw29
Nevertheless, years later, I still have nothing better to do and dislike myself. So, I decided to rank and tackle all 100 Gen 2 Pokémon. Lucky you.
Before we get started, there are two things you should know. One, about 70% of Gen 2 Pokemon were forgettable. Two, I could tell Google not to take my list too seriously (like with the previous one), but it rarely listens when it comes lighthearted articles about games aimed at children – and why would it?
100: Shuckle v283e
Shuckle has no purpose whatsoever, and it may be the worst Pokemon ever. Shuckle is a Pokemon that I am aware of, just like Adam Sandler in movies. I wish I were.
99: Qwilfish 6e504y
Qwilfish is a cartoon pufferfish. Why would you choose a pufferfish as a Pokemon when dragons, ghosts, and other cool shitlike options?
Do you? Well? Do you?
98 Corsola 6u623g
It is likely that someone was making Pokemon Gold & Silver and forgot it was their turn. So they created this—a lump of coral.
97 – Dunsparce 1a1953
Although most Pokemon cannot speak, it could use its vocal chords to plead for the sweet release from death.
96 Sunkern 6f3g5u
I will call you a fool if you tell me that you don’t this Pokemon being there.
95: Ledyba 53m6x
It just seems a little dumb. Ledyba would not be able to use scissors without supervision from an adult, like I wouldn’t trust.
94 : Chinchou 3h3c71
They are cute but not very interesting. They’re sort of memes with Despicable me Minions on the bottom for any woman who isn’t a middle-aged woman on Facebook.
93 Stantler 1524y
There is a Friends/Chandler Bing reference somewhere in there, but I can’t be arsed. Stantler, that’s how much I care about you.
92 – Smoochum 4f512g
It’s a mistake to try too hard to be cute. This is evident in Smoochum.
91: Igglybuff 193x
Igglypuff is a bit like an intelligent testicle, which I hadn’t noticed until now.
90: Snubbull 1z2m62
Paris Hilton would carry a Snubbull in her handbag if she existed in the Pokemon world.
89: Wobbuffet 1658t
I find everything about this long, blue piss streak irritating. Its horrible raspy screams and the way it flails around its torso irritate me. Revolting.
88: Sentret 3b5vx
Sentret is cute, but I don’t think so. We’ve all spent our early game grind beating Gold & Silverdozens upon dozens of these cute little creatures to get to the top, in order to achieve our goals of being “the best”.
It’s all too much guilt that keeps me awake at night.
87 – Hoothoot 6s2q5b
Hoothoot would not be on the list so low if it weren’t for its name. Seriously? An owl named Hoothoot?! Is there a Barkbark dog Pokemon? Or Meow, the cat Pokemon
86 : Pineco 50649
Fun fact: Pineco refers to the sound someone makes just seconds before a pinecone is flies towards them and knocks their head out.
85 Lanturn 3u483x
You have probably finished reading this and gone to the comments to request my resignation. I have “clearly never” played a Pokémon game in all my life.
84 : Cleffa y306b
I love Pokémon. Cleffa, as cute as it is, can be thrown away, just like this article. In a humorous way. This is meant to be a little bit of fun.
83 : Natu 323d3j
People would stop messaging me to inform me that I don’t know metagame or Effort Vals. They’d likely realize that Natu is the original Flappy Bird and they wouldn’t believe me. Importantly, I didn’t say “funny”, but “stupid”.
82 Sunflora 3c861
Anyway! Sunflora is a promising brand for low-fat margarine.
81 Hoppip 241o4j
Hoppip is a truly adorable pet. It would be my pet, and I would water it every night.
Get me a Hoppip.
80 Granbull b6e45
If Ray Winstone were a Pokemon, he would be a Granbull. Probably.
79 Mareep 3n4e2q
This Pokemon is what robots dream about.
78 – Wooper 6w1e3d
Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. He is in his right lane. Focused. Focused.
77 Unown 404a1i
Yes, Unown are not very useful, but they were once genuinely mysterious and an interesting idea for a Pokemon.
76: Politoed z4l5n
Do you this Pokemon? Yes, I did. It is quite cute though.
Spinarak 75 66345k
It’s only recently that I realized that Spinarak has six legs and not eight. My world is now utterly destroyed.
Marill 3j5n1s
A creature that was clearly meant to replace Pikachu is born into every generation of Pokemon. Marill, I believe, is that creature.
73: Phanpy 2o623e
Although I don’t if you’ve seen Adventure Time yet, I can’t look at Phanphy and not think of Tree Trunks.
72: Tyrogue 4y3nj
What isTyrogue It looks just like a little sickly child who is about to tell the world it’s his turn to play on the Xbox
71: Togepi xp12
Question: Togepi appears to be wearing a part of the egg it just hatched from as a shell. Is that what the other newly hatched Pokemon are doing? Nintendo, I am SICK and TIRED at the inconsistencies.
70: Gligar 1v182i
Yes, I’m sure.
Furret 2f5y1i
It is almost impossible, to be honest with God, to find anything interesting about the Gen 2 Pokemon thus far. Take a look at this. It’s a Ferret. What can I do with it?
68: Remoraid 6kz4z
This one? This fish is pretty normal in appearance. If you thought Pokemon ran out of ideas later, then you should revisit Gen 2. This is a terrible idea. I would rather have sentient icecream.
67: Noctowl 19166s
It’s an owl. I don’t know what you want.
66: Forretress 2d4312
Similar to the other pinecone, but larger… so, I guess it’s better? I don’t really know. I don’t care. Anybody who spends more time than ten minutes trying to think of something to say about a Pokemon that nobody re should have a word.
65: Aipom 131q2f
You know, I studied journalism at university. It is amazing how it happened.
64: Bayleef 56705g
Gen 2 isn’t completely rubbish, okay? Bayleef is quite cute.
63: Mantine 43cx
Mantine is very cute. Fly on, fishy dude. Fly on.
62: Octillery 2x563l
Could someone please explain how Octillery evolved from Remoraid. It’s a mystery to me, and I accept that Magikarp is now Gyarados.
Skiploom 6l21c
Skiploom is the mate we all have. He’s tiny and adorable, but will fight for your honor if necessary.
60: Pichu 3652y
It’s a baby Pikachu. A baby Pikachu is a wonderful pet. It can be ively ranked at number 60.
59: Jumpluff 6k10k
Jumpluff is a nobler creature than I am. Its name is a little like “bum fluff”.
58: Smeargle z6m34
It uses its tail to paint and has a beret-shaped head. It is also a monkey so I love it.
Is Smeargle a monkey, or a squirrel? It was always what I assumed. Please attach any death threats to which you would like to include the answer if you are certain what Smeargle is.
57: Hitmontop 52k3t
Hitmonbottom’s boyfriend.
56: Blissey 46218
Blissey works as a nurse so it is likely that she is overworked and grossly underpaid. Blissey is very professional and adorable. Blissey is a nurse that I have known and loved.
55: Murkrow 5e6z6n
Murkrow would have been much more easily dismissed if they had chosen a simple crow design. Murkrow looks almost like it’s in a goth outfit so I give it 55.
54: Pupitar 4u732e
Pupitar is somewhat similar to Metapod or Kakuna in concept, but it’s not completely useless. It evolves into a cool dragon that we will meet later. Nice work, Pupitar.
53: Magby 2a5n45
Magby is right where he belongs because I didn’t believe Magmar could look cute. However, the lumpy head is quite freaky.
52: Houndour 5zv10
We’re now in the top 50. You’ll notice that we have reached the Gen 2 Pokemon, which are really cool. Houndour is an absolutely amazing pup. There are no two ways about this.
51: Swinub 5c2r4
Swinub is far too precious to be in this world.
50: Celebi 6k3e3d
The mythical Pokemon are all around us these days, and it has become almost meaningless to call them “mythical”. We lived in simpler times when Celebi and Mew were all that existed.
49: Bellossom 6g2547
Bellossom is a very well-designed Pokemon. It is easy to see the purpose and meaning of Bellossom just by looking at it. It’s really great work.
48: Teddiursa 6q2m9
If you are here to hear me criticize this literal teddy bear then I’m happy to say you will be disappointed.
47: Slugma 3b226
Slugma is simply way cooler than any fiery slug. It’s not clear who would use it in a team, though.
46: Flaaffy 3k4y4q
Mareep already cracked that wittyPhilip K. Dick quip so I don’t know what to do. I will find something better when we reach Ampharos.
45: Delibird 22625e
Is this a big, fat bird who carries a large bag of gifts around? What is it notto love?
44: Miltank 4u4b3v
Miltank at the third gym in Pokemon Silver/Gold? Holy Mother of God, that was the most difficult difficulty spike I have ever seen in a game.
43: Girafarig 5g443o
Girafarig’s tail is smart and can bite you if you don’t like it. Although I don’t really care about the front of this Pokemon, the back is something I find very relatable.
42: Porygon2 5s5p1z
Porygon doesn’t need a sequel. Studio these days must milk everything, I swear.
41: Magcargo 2p6q6p
Nintendo and this Pokemon made it possible for me to spend a lot more time convinced that slugs actually grew into snails.
40: Sudowoodo 27105q
It took me far too long to realize that Sudowoodo was a grass-type. Sudowoodo was a freaky man.
39: Sneasel 4a5g42
Sneasel is a very similar character to the 2006 Sonic The Hedgehog movie, except that it doesn’t have an annoying name or pointless backstory.
38: Heracross 5ym70
Although I have always believed that most bug Pokemon were very lame, I am happy to report that Heracross is one exception to the rule.
37: Ursaring 3j6236
Although I don’t think I would be thrilled if my once adorable Teddy Bear turned into this terrifying beast, it wouldn’t hurt to keep Ursaring on your side in an emergency.
36: Piloswine 1e1v5t
Senient Beatles haircut featuring tusks and an inclination to destroy your favorite electric Pokemon.
35: Larvitar 3k4p2v
Larvitar dreams of becoming a man. It is full of potential. At 14 years old, Larvitar is basically everyone. Unfortunately, Larvitar becomes a powerful dragon Pokemon but most of us become anxious underachievers and spend too much time looking at memes pretending that Brexit and Climate Change won’t ruin us.

34: Donphan 181y45
It is basically an elephant wearing battle armour. There is nothing wrong with this. Absolutely nothing.
33: Misdain 415z1d
My mind says that Misdreavous is Marge Simpson’s ghost. Why? Because of the big hair and red pearl necklace. You can prove me wrong.
32: Ariados 2y618
It is hard to believe that these “spider Pokemon” only have six legs. Is this a mistake? Is Nintendo too afraid to it that a designer forgot two extra legs, so they just continue to tell this horrible lie to the world? We won’t know. The color scheme is great.
31: Azumarill 6p272o
Azumarill is a cute little guy that looks a lot like an Easter egg, complete with bunny ears. Enjoy 31st place, lil’ buddy.
30: Yanma 2q491t
I will be honest with you. I have no idea why Yanma was placed at 30th. It felt just right. It just felt right. It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t feel right to you, it’s on my list.
29: Quagsire 3e236s
Quagsire just seems cute to me, okay? It can also use water moves and resists electric attacks. This makes it just as useful as adorable. It is a great addition to any Elite Four team.
28: Togetic 6d1n5a
Togetic’s energy is what I love. It seems like the type of Pokemon that you could take to a Tame Impala concert with. It would buy tickets for you both and then it’d be like, “hey, pay me back whenever possible.” Then you’d never repay it.
27: Crobat 2wh61
You can’t be a douche to your Crobat if you want to be a Crobat. Give it love. Maybe take it out to dinner and give it a massage afterwards.
26: Xatu 415p34
Xatu has the ability to see into the future and past, which is quite cool. Sadly, Xatu didn’t bother to use this incredible power to warn us about 2020.
25: Ledian 5271g
This ladybird looks like it could take you out with one punch. Is it possible to find ladybirds that look this amazing? It’s not many.
24: Croconaw 491kk
Croconaw would be the Pokemon that played drums in a punk group if he were a Pokemon.
23: Skarmory 4gv5u
The aeroplane was not invented by the human race until 1999’s Pokemon Gold/Silver, when it became evident that metal birds existed and flourished. True story.
22: Meganium 1k704i
This adorable flower horse… thing is just too cute to be true. It’s not clear what it is, but I don’t care. Meganium is a positive person.
21: Steelix 2i2gu
It’s a Onix, but it’s sleeker and made out of metal. This is a truly amazing Pokemon design.
20: Chikorita 4k6l13
A tiny green creature with a little leaf on his head. We love you.
19: Cyndaquil 1s6d4t
In the past I have had to say some very harsh things about Cyndaquil. This was met with a fierce wave of hatred from my family and friends. To avoid any further upset, I have decided to place it in the top 20,
18: Elekid 4x572m
Elekid is a great tool. I discovered that the article’s draft ranking was shaped almost like a plug when I created it. Although it’s subtle, I love it.
17: Quilava 4zi1z
Although I have issues with Cyndaquil, Quilava is a great product. It’s Cyndaquils cool college phase.
16: Ampharos 4e2mk
Although it doesn’t look like a sheep, that’s okay. Ampharos is far greater than any creature that has a bauble stuck to its forehead.
15: Totodile r4b1n
Any Pokemon who can sing as well as Africa deserves to be in this top 20.
14: Houndoom 4r6g4e
Houndoom is one of the most death-metal looking Pokemon.
13: Slowking u4zi
Although slowking is absurd, I still love it. It looks a lot like Homer Simpson. It does!
12: Lugia 3z7124
Lugia is a beautiful looking Pokemon. Anyone who has ever seen Pokemon 2000back then will recall how cool it was and how thrilling it was to finally track it down in Silver.
11: Raikou 1p2i50
Raikou is a great doggo. However, I think it’s one of the weakest Legendary dogsgos. It’s nose reminds me a lot of Mermaid Man in Spongebob Squarepants. That’s a bell that I cannot easily un-ring.
10: Kingdra 3f366z
We are at the top ten most coveted. We can just do this, I’m tired. Kingrda is my partner in crime, a beast that combines both the power and majesty a sea horse with the raw strength of a dragon. It shouldn’t, but it works.
9: Suicune 44483i
Pokemon Crystal has been called the greatest Pokemon game ever. There are no arguments. It is Suicune, the graceful cover star of the game.
8:Feraligatr 5p5i4t
Feraligatr looks as though it would tear your throat out if it got a drink in a pub or if you disagree with it on Brexit.
To be clear, I am not suggesting which Feraligtr vote for Brexit.
7:Espeon 5j1q1t
Espeon is the second-best Eevee evolution and the most famous Pokemon of all time. Beautiful, powerful, and classy. Unfortunately, these are the only words that have ever been used to describe my personality.
6: Scizor 484w1a
I thought Scyther was cool. Then I discovered Scizor. . It appears to be a robotically-enhanced bug alien sent to Earth to destroy the planet.
5: Tyranitar ft5j
I was astonished at his size, absolute unit, etc.
4: Entei e6m5r
Entei is a large and fluffy doggo. It is also known as the harbinger for fiery death.
3: Typhlosion 116945
Super powerful, great name, awesome look. This is probably the first starter Pokemon that most of us took to the Elite Four in Silver. This is a top-three favorite Pokemon.
2: Ho-Oh 3x1h30
Ho-Oh is a beautiful Pokémon. The anime’s first episode was the reason that I have remained glued to this legendary Pokemon for the longest time. It’s a story I know you will well.
It was the first time Ash had seen it, and I knew that I wanted to learn more.
1: Umbreon 57355f
Perhaps it’s because I grew up listening to My Chemical Romance and Fall Out Boy, and Umbreon was my entire aesthetic at that time.
Perhaps it’s because it’s one the most useful Pokemon in Gen 2 (and beyond), but I still have room for it in every Pokemon game.
No matter what, Umbreon is brilliant. Most will agree that it should be number one. You can tell me what you feel, and I will probably ignore you.
