25. Mudkip
Despite the memes, Mudkip is the worst of a generation of some pretty solid starters. The Hoenn region has some real stars in its opening roster, and Mudkip is just unfortunately up against some stiff competition. The little reptilian dude emits joy wherever it goes on top of being a secret power house. Honestly, Mudkip’s evolutions don’t do it for me, but this little king? He’s solid.
