The role of Pokémon is to fight on behalf of their trainers in battles, but some Pokémon may not even be a match for the strength of their human counterparts. Since the Pokémon started, the initial number (151) of Pokédex has grown to more than 800. With every generation, more and more new Pokémon species are discovered. But with nearly a thousand entities now known in the Pokémon universe, they aren’t all as mighty as Charizard or Tyranitar. Keep reading to discover our list of the TOP 10 weakest Pokemon Who Are Weaker Than Humans.
Many Pokémon are actually not that strong, with some equipped with less strength than humans. That is certainly no reason to underestimate them, as even the most feeble of that bunch can evolve into terrifying creatures. Let’s explore 10 examples of Pokémon who are weaker than their humans.
weakest Pokemon Who Are Weaker Than Humans
1. Abra Is A Battle Dodger
While Abra is great for cuddles or sitting in the lap of its trainer, this small Pokémon doesn’t have much in terms of powers or strength. In fact, its sole move is the Teleport, which it uses at the start of every battle to escape fighting it. If caught by the trainer before teleporting away, Abra is of little use in battles. That is until it evolves into Kadabra and learns a series of physical battle attack maneuvers. Once it evolves into Alakazam, it becomes one of the series’s most dominant and powerful Pokémon.
2. Unown Are Only Good For One Reason
The mysterious Unown Pokémon seemed in a quandary from its introduction. It has not had particularly potent attacks and does not evolve into more powerful entities, but the lore of these creatures is fascinating to explore.
Each Unown is modeled after letters of the alphabet, as well as a question mark and an exclamation point. And their purpose? Well, there isn’t much beyond using them to spell words out. In the anime’s third Pokémon film Spell of the Unown: Entei, their ability to create illusions, however, is central to the story’s plot.
3. Shedinja Is Weak But Is Hard To Hit
The interesting Pokémon Shedinja is modeled after a cicada exoskeleton. It has only 1 HP in the Pokémon games, regardless of its level. However, its one ability, the Wonder Guard, guards it against being hit by any save the most effective attacks. However, finding a Pokémon savvy enough to his Shedinja isn’t overly hard, considering it’s a weaker opponent to most. In fact, it wouldn’t even stand a fighting chance in battle against a human.
4. HMs Are The Bidoof’s Main Use
In Pokémon fandom, Bidoof is a notorious creature, just not because of any particular strength. Once it evolves into Bibarel, it can be used for a variety of HMs, able to learn the Strength, Surf, Cut, Rock Climb, Rock Smash, Waterfall, Whirlpool, and Dive techniques, depending on the game being played.
Outside of that, there isn’t anything that stands out about the Bidoof in particular. It cannot learn any strong attacks, and even in its evolved Bibarel form, is still weather than almost any humans it might face.
5. Slakoth Is A Perpetual Slacker
It should not be overly surprising that a Pokémon creature inspired by a sloth would not be overly exciting in terms of energy and power. Much like a sloth, it spends a good part of its day sleeping, being slow, and lazy. This prevents it from learning much along the way of powerful maneuvers, so it isn’t much of a threat.
In its evolved Vigoroth form, and eventually the Slaking form, however, is a whole different story. While still a lazy lounging Pokémon, the Slaking has the ability to store and then release massive amounts of energy, causing it to be a problem for anyone trying to deal with it.
6. Metapod Can Only Boost Its Defense
The worm-like Pokémon Caterpie, evolves into its secondary Metapod level, acting as a cocoon-type Pokémon until then. Due to this, it is one of the weakest Pokémon in terms of attack ability. It does have high defensive capability though. It can inherit attacks from evolving, but Harden is its most well-known move.
While its defenses are commendable, it isn’t very useful otherwise and is certainly no match for any human trainer. That is of course until it evolves into Butterfree, in which case things change entirely.
7. Wimpod Is A Perpetual Coward
True to its name, the Wimpod is a skittish, scared Pokémon creature. When spooked or threatened, it spits venom, but despite this defensive maneuver, it is still one of the weakest Pokémon around. But its fragile nature does not dampen its curiosity and attempts to try to associate with people or other Pokémon. It isn’t much of a move learner and until it evolves into the Golisopo, it isn’t particularly useful. But in its evolved form it is large and imposing, enough to instill fear into any opponent it faces.
8. Rattata Is A Biter (But That Is Its Only Strength)
Of the original 151 Pokédex entries, Rattata is one of the more famous members. It makes for a great pet, being small and cute, but it couldn’t compete in a battle against a human to save its life. Until Rattata evolves into the powerful attack form of Raticate, it isn’t particularly useful in any type of combat scenario, simply being a small rat. The one thing Rattata has going for it is its massive teeth, which result in a strong and painful bite, which doesn’t make up for its lack of strength in other departments, but it’s better than nothing.
9. Magikarp Just Performs The Splash
All Pokémon fans know Magikarp, a fish that knows one maneuver, and its one that accomplishes essentially nothing; the Splash. It is fairly argued that its inability to do anything besides that fairly useless move makes it the series’s weakest Pokémon. There is a running joke from the original anime that claims that the purchase of Magikarp by James was him simply being scammed into it.
James keeps trying to find usefulness in Magikarp but to no avail. That is until Magikarp evolves into Gyarados, a giant, dragon-like serpent Pokémon that would ward off even the toughest rival from its terrifying appearance alone.
10. Even Magikarp Is Stronger Than Feebas
Another feeble fish Pokémon is Feebas, much like Magikarp. Sure, Feebas has the ability to learn some damaging attacks, but they are nothing threatening or powerful at all. Its only move, much like Magikarp, is the useless Splash. Unlike Magikarp, Feebas doesn’t simply reach a specific level and evolve into Milotic.
To become useful, he requires a high Beauty condition. In that sense, it makes it even weaker than Magikarp, as this creature cannot simply evolve into its otherwise powerful form, but needs specific conditions to accomplish that feat. From that perspective, Feebas is the weakest Pokémon there is, and would have no chance even against a human.
