In the vibrant world of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, where 114 new creatures entered the Pokedex, some have slipped into obscurity faster than others. Players are now engaged in lively debates about which of these newcomers are the least memorable.
Released in November 2022, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, set in the Paldea Region, garnered mixed feedback from the Pokemon community. Critics offered average reviews, while fans on platforms like Metacritic expressed mostly negative sentiments. However, these games made history as the first mainline Pokemon titles to embrace a fully open-world setting, setting them apart from their predecessors spanning eight generations. Additionally, they expanded the horizon of team building by introducing a plethora of new Pokemon, a feat unmatched since Generation 5.
Among these new additions, one Pokemon that frequently finds itself in discussions about forgettable creatures is Brambleghast. This Grass/Ghost-type Tumbleweed Pokemon, along with its unevolved form Bramblin, hasn’t left a lasting impression on many players. Despite early competitive usage noted by some on Reddit, Brambleghast’s absence from notable trainers’ teams and its negligible presence in the games’ DLC contributed to its forgettable status. Criticisms also surfaced regarding its limited move pool and unconventional appearance, factors that led some players to overlook its potential.
However, not all hope is lost for Brambleghast. It has garnered a small but vocal group of defenders who appreciate its unique Wind Rider ability. This ability allows Brambleghast to evade all damage from wind-based moves, a strategic advantage considering the typically super-effective nature of wind moves against Grass-type Pokemon.

While Brambleghast may not hold the crown for the most forgettable Pokemon in Generation 9, other contenders have emerged. One such Pokemon is Squawkabilly, a Normal/Flying-type creature resembling a parrot sporting a distinctive pompadour hairstyle. Despite its four different plumage colors, Squawkabilly’s common type combination has failed to impress some players, earning it playful nicknames like “rock n roll Chatot” and “singing Taillow.”
As trainers continue their adventures in the Paldea Region, these discussions about memorable and forgettable Pokemon add an extra layer of intrigue to the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet experience.
