Pokemon who function poorly in the PvP aspect of the Pokemon franchise are often referred to as "shitmons". However this term is rather disparaging and implies that a Pokemon's value lies solely from its performance in the competitive sphere. This is a huge problem seeing as
1) Game Freak has shown to play blatant favorites on which Pokemon are allowed to get buffs
2)Even if Game Freak tried: the sheer number of Pokemon means that making every single Pokemon have a unique niche and be viable is extremely difficult if not impossible
3) the franchise and world of Pokemon are multifaceted, PvP is far from the only aspect
4) The competitive scene in general is unfun, uncompetitive and rampant with cheating

Ergo, I propose we eliminate the term "shitmon and replace it with "Competitively Challenged"
