3 most underwhelming Psychic Pokemon in Hoenn

#3 - Chimecho

When it comes to determining how underwhelming a Pokemon is, the main criteria used to judge them is usually their appearance and information regarding them in the Pokedex.

Chimecho begins the list of the most underwhelming Psychic-types in the Hoenn region because its design is so lackluster and unoriginal.

This Pokemon's design and Pokedex entries lead a trainer to draw one conclusion; the Pokemon is entirely based off of a windchime. How frightening.

#2 - Wynaut

Wynaut's best case for being used by a trainer is said clearly in its name, "Why not?" That's because this Pokemon has literally nothing going for it as far as looks or battle prowess go.

Believe it or not, Wynaut doesn't get any less underwhelming once it evolves into Wobbuffet. Wobbuffet is merely a larger blue blob that has one of the most annoying voices in the entire franchise.

It's no wonder Team Rocket had Wynaut's evolution in the anime, a lame Pokemon that suits the clumsy gang of Pokemon thieves.

#1 - Spoink

Spoink is a purely Psychic-type Pokemon introduced in Generation III. This Pocket Monster has earned its place at the top of the list primarily because of its underwhelming appearance.

To put it plainly, Spoink is just a Psychic pig. That's certainly not the most intimidating description for a creature meant to do battle against other foes known as Pocket Monsters.

Now, to be fair, Spoink does wield some strong base stats. These also increase once the Pokemon evolves into its final form, Grumpig. The Pokemon's appearance only becomes more underwhelming once it undergoes this transformation.
