Doesn't that mean you can't use it?
Dustox
: Most people prefer Beautifly over it, even the anime had one of the protags (May) get one while Dustox was given to Jessie to forever suffer defeat.
Male Gardevoir
: One Gen too early to have a more masculine evo; if a trainer didn't already skip over male Ralts until they encountered a female, any male Ralts they was caught and fully evolved to a Gardevoir is now forever awkwardly telling everyone "I'm a guy".
Spore-less Breloom
: Poor Spore-less Breloom, little did your trainer know you had to learn Spore as a Shroomish before evolving, now you're sitting in a box as your trainer catches another Shroomish to evolve it into a Spore-having Breloom.
Vigoroth
: Vigoroth has a bit of a sad fate. GF made Truant Slakoth evolve into a speedy, never-sleeping attacker only to then make it a tank that only moves every other turn again. And for what, just to be a gimmick for a Gym Battle where most only remember the Slaking anyway?
Kadabra
: Only allowed to exist in the games, a lawsuit that goes on for way too long means Pokemon Company didn't feel okay making any products based on Kadabra, notably TCG cards.
Flygon
: Such a cool Pokemon, yet that's as much a curse as a blessing. Having gone through a handful of for changing Super Gimmicks, Mega Evolution notably, it's a surprise Flygon hasn't received one... which is revealed because GF admitted having artist block so chose to move on from it.
Absol
: A non-meta one, Absol's ability to sense incoming disasters has made it a hated Pokemon from people who misunderstand it, believing it to be causing them.
Wobbuffet
: Too good to be allowed, a simple gimmick made Wobbuffet the bane of competitive players that it was either banned to the higher tiers where it couldn't perform as well or just outright banned.
Huntail
& Gorebyss
: Another Pokemon which stats dynamically changes upon evolution, discarded is the shell that Clamperl spent the early years of its life in, now its a fish with only reference to its previous shell-life are the shape of their fins.
Relicanth
: YOU want to talk about forgotten? Relicanth was so forgotten its species was thought to be extinct for MILLIONS of years!
Luvdisc
: Oh, there's something people love about Luvdisc alright: it's Heart Scales, especially by Move Tutors. How many were caught or encountered to only have their Heart Scales taken and released/KOed to go to the next?

Item: Silk Scarf. Ability: Water Veil. Moves: Self Destruct, Surf, Astonish, Rain Dance. This is a team in which everyone dies or attempts to do it, in order to have a Ghost theme related to death. So, the first Mon that suicides is a Wailord. Did you ever wonder why Wailord of all things learns Self Destruct? Well, this is actually a real life phenomenom that happens to already dead whales: 
Item: Quick Claw. Moves: Protect, Confuse Ray, Silver Wind, Grudge. First actual Ghost. Immune to Surf or Self Destruct from Wailord. Attracts some moves and uses Protect. It has a suicide move in Grudge that steals PPs, but can also make the opponent suicide with Confuse Ray. STAB Silver Wind. With Wonder Guard, some opponent might be unlucky enough to not being able to touch Shedinja after Wailord explodes.
Item: Choice Band. Ability: Sticky Hold. Moves: Sludge Bomb, Shadow Punch, Explosion, Dynamic Punch. Muk is death itself. Its pollution, whenever it goes, plants die, life ends. It learns a lot of Ghost moves in future Gens, but even in RSE, Shadow Punch is right there. Of course, the biggest threat is the theme move of Explosion, which in Double Battles can kill 2 foes.
Item: Salac Berry. Moves: Shadow Ball, Double Edge, Endure, Destiny Bond. A Ghost that can hit hard and take another foe with Endure + Destiny Bond combo. Banette has 2 suicide moves, since Double Edge damages it too.
Item: Leftovers. Moves: Rest, Curse, Will-o-Wisp, Night Shade. An unortodox (though Phoebe would approve) ace. Curse is Dusclops's suicide move. If it survives long enough, it can use Rest In Peace to abuse Pressure while opponent slowly dies. Night Shade is the only offensive option, while WoW burns.

Item: Beedrillite. Moves: U-Turn, Poison Jab, Drill Run, Roost. Beedrill has always been a very unpopular Pokemon. Aside from Bug Catchers (who are not considered exactly strong trainers in Kanto, though Bugsy is close), no one ever used Beedrill due to it being extremely weak. However, in Hoenn, our trainer learned that Beedrill is one of the few Pokemon who can Megaevolve and searched its Megastone for a long time, before finally finding it at one of the Battle Tents that are througout the region. It became one of our trainer's strongest Pokemon and his lead in battle. Beedrill uses U-Turn to deal strong damage and escape, having Poison Jab as second STAB and Drill Run as coverage. Whenever Beedrill manages to face a Grass Mon, it can heal with Roost. From one of the worst Kanto Pokemon, Beedrill suddenly became a big threat, it has its fairy tale.
Moves: Dark Pulse, Foul Play, Play Rough, Pay Day. Our trainer has always wanted to have a Persian. However, after years of many criminals (especially the infamous Team Rocket, leaded by Giovanni) using the line in Kanto, an extermination campaign was launched around Saffron and as a result, Meowth became very rare there. When our hero arrive to Alola, he quickly found a local Meowth and added it to his team. It soon became clear that Alolan Persians are much better than Kanto ones, especially in terms of bulk. This one uses 2 Dark moves, a Fairy move and a move to get more money from other trainers in order to keep financing the journey.
Moves: Flare Blitz, Play Rough, Superpower, Teleport. In Sinnoh, the last region of the journey, our trainer encountered a strange blonde guy, who why looking young, behaved like he was much older. This strong trainer had an Arcanine too, but it was very different from Kanto one, having a type advantage too. After being defeated once, our protagonist trained his Arcanine to overcome the rocky Sinnoh one. This was achieved by being faster (95 base Speed compared to 90) and learning Superpower. Despite winning the Arcanine duel, our hero still lost the rematch against his misterious opponent, who this time tried to punish him for interfering in his evil plans. Fortunately, our hero's Arcanine knows Teleport, saving him from the demise. The move also works in some battles to bring Mega Beedrill safely to the field.
