The Top 5 Most Annoying Wild Pokemon to Catch

You read the title, you know what this is. We'll be going in ascending order, counting down to the most annoying wild Pokemon to catch, EVER!


5. Mareanie

Normally I love the SOS system in Pokemon Sun/Moon; it allows me to REALLY grind some levels on my Pokemon! But for catching wild Pokemon? I don't love it as much. I ESPECIALLY don't love it when some Pokemon only come out exclusively as an SOS for certain other Pokemon. But none annoy me more than Mareanie. Why? Because Mareanie is an SOS exclusive Pokemon to Corsola, a Pokemon you gotta fish out...with a 1% encounter rate! Even in a bubbling spot, it's only a 20% Encounter rate! Oh, and since it's an SOS battle, you gotta weaken Corsola first and then PRAY that a Mareanie comes to help it out! Jesus!

4. Chimecho

In the original Ruby/Saphire, this little nudger appeared in only ONE area, with a 2% encounter rate. The problem? Unless you encountered this little critter by chance, YOU'D NEVER KNOW ABOUT ITS EXISTENCE! No trainer in the game uses Chimecho, so it never appears in the Pokedex. And the place you enconter it is so counterintuitive, WHY would you go snooping around it for this little guy? It ain't even that good, for God's sake!

3. Female Combee

In Pokemon Diamond/Pearl, you need to use Honey on a Honey Tree to have a 22% chance of getting a Combee, or 32% in Platinum. This wouldn't be nearly as annoying if not for the fact that it takes 6 REAL WORLD hours for a Honey Tree Pokemon to appear! Oh, but there's more! Combee have a mere 11% chance of being female! Worst part? ONLY FEMALES EVOLVE! Oh, the shit we go through...

2. Feebas

In the original Ruby/Saphire version, this little shitfish was a PAIN IN THE ASS to catch! It only appeared in 6 random tiles on the Route 119 river! Problem? That river had HUNDREDS of tiles! So you'd have to try fishing in each tile dozens of times, because even in those tiles you only have a 50% chance encounter rate for this fish!

1. Kangaskhan

In the original Red/Blue/Yellow games, Kangaskhan was one of the most elusive, hard to catch Pokemin in the entire game. With a 4% chance encounter rate in select areas of the Safari Zone (where battling is not allowed) catching Kangaskhan was often a test of patience and luck. Some of you might be asking "WHY ISN'T CHANSEY NUMBER 1!?" While it is true that Chansey was often just as, if not more ridiculous to catch, there was always the chance to catch one in the Cerulean cave. Kangaskhan offered no such alternatives. It's that alternative that gives Chansey an edge over Kangaskhan in terms of catchability, as well as a spot on this list.
