Which Pokémon did you use once and never again?

We all have that one mon that underperformed or just… weirded us out. Who made the cut once and never again?

Hades0918

Golisopod

I was determined to use it in my Shield account

Made it to Leon but barely used it

I fought Leon five times and finally realized it was holding me back

It was slow and dropped below 50% before it could attack

Switched it for Eternataus and immediately won

Never used it again

Voltareon2012

Well, I never used Jynx, but…
There are very very very few Pokémon I can actually say I hate. Jynx is one.
I also used a Swirlix in my first Sword playthrough, but removed it before the final battle. I never found it in my boxes ever again, and never evolved it.

Actually, I might be lying

Golisapod will be in Z-A DLC (as shown in the trailer) and Z-A doesn't have abilities

Without its run away ability, it could be a beast!

Whenever I start a new game I go through the dex and choose new pokemon. But I did once have Dewgong in my team all the way to the league.

I, personally, don't look at the Dex

I like to be surprised when it evolves (if it does)!

And if I see a good familiar Pokémon then I might use it

NO MORE RUNNING

I still remember the Tyrougue I briefly put on my team in Shield. I felt bad about leaving it behind, so I put it on my battle team even though it wasn't a very powerful Pokemon.

I get that, but started playing Y and SM and USUM and the other starters in those games were not easy to get. I learned that its better to know before hand so I can get my favorite. To be fair though I usually have pokemon that I can only get later in the game on my preferred team so I usually fill that spot with a surprise pokemon as I play the game till I get the one I want.
