Vote for the most disappointing Legendary Pokémon.

Legendary Pokémon are meant to be the rarest and most powerful in the world. It’s no surprise that many fans admire Legendaries like Rayquaza and Lugia. However, some Pokémon fail to live up to their Legendary status. Whether due to lackluster designs or disappointing battle stats, these Legendary Pokémon are among the least popular within the fandom.

Is Regigigas the lamest Legendary, or does Cosmog take the title? Check out the list and decide for yourself. Vote for the least impressive Legendary Pokémon.

    Cosmoem

    Cosmoem

    Much like its pre-evolved form, Cosmog, this Legendary is also pretty useless. Cosmoem only learns one new move, Cosmic Power, after evolving. And while it sounds cool, this ability is basically the equivalent of Harden. So, again, Cosmoem really can't do much in battle.

    Cosmog

    Cosmog

    Cosmog looks pretty cute...and that's about it. As a pre-evolution, Cosmog can't really do too much. It can only learn two moves: Splash and Teleport. On top of having the smallest movepool, it also has the lowest base stat total of any Legendary Pokémon. Evolving a Cosmog is like trying to evolve a Magikarp.

    Tornadus

    Tornadus

    Tornadus takes the cake for having the most bizarre and ugly Legendary design. It doesn't even look like a Pokémon. Plus, Tornadus can't take many hits as its defense stats are on the low side.

  • Heatran

    Honestly, we often forget that Heatran is even a Legendary Pokémon. Its design is quite boring and ugly. When comparing it to other Legendaries like Lugia or Suicune, it really doesn't compete.

  • Virizion

    Virizion's design is just plain awkward. It's not exactly majestic nor powerful-looking for a Legendary. It's not even cute either. And its special attack, Focus Blast, is too inaccurate to even use in battle.

  • Mesprit

    As one of the three Lake Guardians, Mesprit's lore is quite fascinating. But its usefulness in games is pretty disappointing. As a pure Psychic type, it doesn't stand out from the rest of the Psychic Pokémon. Mesprit doesn't have any signature moves for a Legendary and is unimpressive all around.
