There have been so many Pokémon games, which usually feature a new generation of Pokémon. These generations tend to add over 100 Pokémon each time, overwriting some cool Pokémon. But whether fans like it or not, some Pokémon have been long forgotten, even if they were fans-favorites.
Water-type Pokémon, with the exception of starters, are some of the most forgotten types ofPokémon. The designs of water Pokémon barely vary, so they’re either remembered or forgotten like a relic of the past, even if they happened to be meta. Here are some water Pokémon even die-hard fans may have forgotten.
10 Luvdisc
This cute, heart-shaped Pokémon made its debut in generation 3. It was initially popular, but it’s popularity fell off until it was put into Pokémon GO. Luvdisc doesn’t have the distinct look of a water-type Pokémon. If anything, it looks like it could be a psychic or fairy-type.
One interesting fact about Luvdisc is that when two kiss, they can use their thin bodies to fly for a short amount of time. For fans that want to keep Luvdisc alive, consider buying the Pokémon’s hoodie in Pokémon GO.
9 Huntail
The hunt for Huntail in generation 3 was hard. Any player could get Huntail, but the question was, did players want the Pokémon enough? In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, players had to complete a side quest in the abandoned ship. This quest required players to use ‘dive’ in specific spots in order to find secret passages to discover keys.
With a guide, it was easy for players to do this, but when Ruby and Sapphire released, guides weren’t popular. This made Huntail a hard Pokémon to obtain, making him easily forgotten.
8 Surskit
Depending on the games a Pokémon fan plays, Surskit may be a forgotten Pokémon. Surskit was introduced in generation 3, and it’s a water and bug-type Pokémon. Bug-types are generally disliked. The biggest issue with bug-types is that they’re weak against nearly every type.
While Surskit may not be good in a competitive environment, his evolution, Masquerain, does look pretty cool for a bug-type. Evolving switches Surskit’s type to flying and bug.
7 Qwilfish
One of the more uninspired Pokémon, Qwilfish, was first released in generation 2. Qwilfish is a water and poison-type Pokémon that looks like a pufferfish. Its design doesn’t steer far from its real-life counterpart.
Qwilfish was another common water-type that trainers could catch with the super rod (a key item that allowed the player to fish) on Route 12 and 13. If Qwilfish was a rarer Pokémon, then it’s possible more players would’ve been interested in catching it.
6 Lanturn
Lanturn was introduced in generation 2. The design of this Pokémon may have been inspired by an angler fish, but it doesn’t look nearly as scary. Lanturn is a water and electric-type Pokémon that evolves from Chinchou at level 27.
While many evolving Pokémon gain a type after evolving, Lanturn and Chinchou differ by both keeping the same type. Fans of the show and games tend to remember Chinchou far better than Lanturn, and that has to do with Chinchou’s unique design, at least compared to Lanturn’s.
5 Castform (Rain)
Castform was a unique Pokémon in generation 3. This Pokémon’s type depended on the weather the player caught it in. If the Pokémon was caught in rainy weather, then it would be water-type. This wasn’t the most groundbreaking Pokémon when it’s compared to new unique Pokémon like Silvally, but it was great for the third generation.
While trying to conjure up the image of Castform, it’s normal for fans to remember it as a sun and a cloud. It’s less likely they’ll remember that Castform had a water-type.
4 Relicanth
Generation 3‘s Relicanth is sure to be a water-type Pokémon fans forgot. Relicanths are ancient Pokémon that have existed for 100 million without changing their form, according to a Pokedex entry from Pokemon Ruby.
Players may have bumped into the fossil-looking Pokémon on route 124 and 126. Though players in later generations (excluding Omega Ruby and Omega Sapphire) would have to catch Relicanth by fishing. Of the fish Pokémon in the earlier generations, Relicanth has one of the better designs.
3 Gorebyss
While the hunt for the Pokémon Huntail was a niche to fans, the same could be said about Gorebyss. This pink Pokémon, with a design similar to Luvdisc, was the counterpart to Huntail. Players that wanted to obtain Gorebyss would first have to complete the underwater ship quest.
After completing the quest, players would trade a Clamperl holding a Deep Sea Scale, to evolve it into Gorebyss. Catching Gorebyss was only allowed in Ultra Sun and Moon, so this forgotten Pokémon could be considered rare.
2 Basculin
This water-type Pokémon, unlike other forgotten water-type Pokémon, is very common in Pokémon Black and Pokémon White. In its first generation (5), Basculin could be caught on Routes 1, 3, 6, 11, 14, and many other places.
Basculin is the water-type equivalent to Pidgey. Still, compared to other water-type Pokémon, Basculin is a thing of the past. Basculins fight each other for encroaching on territory lines, but it’s possible to see them sharing schools.
1 Politoed
Although fans can easily remember Poliwag, Poliswirl, and maybe Poliwrath, Politoed may be hard to remember. In generation 2, Poliswirl evolves into either Poliwrath or Politoed. Poliwrath is easier to obtain because all a player must do is use a water stone on it. Politoed requires players to trade Poliswirl while holding the King’s Rock.
The hair on Politoed’s head is symbolic of its status as king or queen, and when Poliwags or Poliswirls hear Politoed’s cry they respond.
