What Pokémon has the lowest base stat? (5 weakest Pokémon based on stats)

 With over 1,000 Pokémon players for trainers to choose from, it can be time-consuming and overwhelming to form a well-balanced and resilient team of fighters.

I’ve spent the last three years exploring the strengths and weaknesses of different Pokémon, and I was surprised to find incredibly weak Pokémon that could barely hold their own in battle.

While their low stats don’t necessarily make them invaluable, you may want to avoid these below-average monsters altogether while choosing your team players.

In this article, I’ll share with you the weakest legendary and regular Pokémon based on their base stat totals.

What legendary has the lowest base stat total?

---

💪Legendary Pokémon are known for their higher base stat totals, more defined lore, and more powerful moves than the average Pokémon.

However, each generation of these fierce monsters contains at least one legendary that doesn’t live up to its name.

👎The legendary with the lowest base stat total is Cosmog. It has a base stat total of 200, with its special attack and special defense stats coming in at 29 and 31, respectively.

Cosmog is a psychic-type Pokémon that was introduced during Generation VII, and although you can evolve it into Cosmoem, its base stat total only increases to 400.

Since one of the most powerful legendaries boasts the highest base stat total of 720, Cosmog’s 200 falls severely short of its legendary title.

The table below shows some of the legendaries with the lowest base stat total:

Legendary	Base Stat Total
Cosmog	200
Phione	480
Virizion	580
Articuno/Zapdos/Moltres	580
Uxie	580
Tornadus	580

5 Weakest Pokémon based on stats

Shedinja

😒With a base stat total of 236, Shedinja ranks as the weakest Pokémon based on stats. Its unique Bug/Ghost Typing makes it weak to Fire, Flying, Rock, Ghost, and Dark moves.

It cannot take damage from weather effects, status effects, or entry hazards. Since it only has 1 Hit Point, meaning it dies after one hit, Shedinja is a highly vulnerable Pokémon that requires the most experienced and knowledgeable players.

Kricketune

😑This pure Bug-Type Pokémon has a base stat total of 384, with a big disadvantage in terms of speed and defense.

It is likely to faint whenever it enters battle, and its lack of dual typing means you won’t get a Same Type Attack Bonus (STAB) while using it.

Dustox

🙄This is a Bug/Poison-Type Pokémon with a base stat total of 385. But believe it or not, this is not the worst of it yet. Its individual stats are atrociously low, and its Abilities don’t offer it any advantages against its opponents.

Ledian

😬Ledian is among the least used Pokémon by players, and for good reason. It has a bizarre combination of high Special Defense and Speed, making it difficult to use.

Its low base stat total of 390 and Bug/Flying Typing gives it a lot of weaknesses and little potential to emerge the winner in battles.

Beedrill

Beedrill has a base stat total of 395, and it derives most of its powers from its Mega Stone, Beedrillite.

Without it, Beedrill is stripped down to less-than-average offensive capabilities, making it the last choice you’d want to add to your competitive team. 🙅‍♂️
