Which Gender for which Pokémon shouldn't exist?

Okay, I can definitely agree on the male Gardevoir and female Mr. Mime deal, but I'd have to say that there shouldn't be such a thing as male Misdreavus/Mismagius. There's "miss" in their name (kind of) and they look feminine. So, why are they available as male???
I think it's for breeding purposes. Not necessarily for the species but so Gengar can get Perish Song and maybe a few things for Dusclops. And I can sorta see how Mismagius can be a male sort of like how Honchkrow can look like a male (and I think there are minor gender differences) and since Honchkrow is the opposite of Mismagius they should be alike in some ways but are separate as they were version exclusives.

certain pokemon i think of as a "pretty boy" for lack of a better term. like a male milotic.

if pokemon didn't have genders, then there goes every compeditive breeder and most of the pokemon fanbase. nintendo would probably go bankrupt lmao

Moves like attract would be completely useless in the meta game. :-/

While yes, that's true, how do you explain one gender pokemon like kangasgan and Chansey? Which means they can only breed with ditto,

I usually use exclusively male teams because most NPCs use Pokemon of their own gender. If it's a particularly feminine Pokemon, though, I use females, and of course I have no problem using Pokemon that are 100% female.

EDIT: lol I just realized that my post has nothing to do with the actual topic; I misread the title. To make my post on topic, I would say that maybe Pokemon like Klefki should be genderless. It's weird that gears like Klinklang are genderless but floating keys can have a gender? Technically I think all animal and plant-based Pokemon of both genders should exist, and object-based Pokemon should have no gender.

I DO think male Fenniken/Braixen/Delphox should exist, but they really need to switch the gender ratio over so that there are more chances for females than males because that Pokemon looks very feminine.

i don't really think fenniken, braixen, and delphox look all that feminine, but considering the delphox is meant to be based on a shrine maiden, it would make a lot more sense for that to be the case.

They aren't necessarily opposites of each other...

I don't think any gender of a Pokemon shouldn't exist but they could change the gender ratios or something like that but you probably want a straight answer so I would say gardevoir not because it looks like a girl just because it would make the whole thing where gallade is just for male ralts/kirlia and then it would be a gender chance of a gallade or gardevoir just cause it's not fair to gallade how he can only evolve to it if he's a male and gardevoir can be female and male .so I always wanted that to change.

Okay, so Gardenvoir is awesome Nintendo kept this to punish all the male kirla if they couldn't get a dawn stone in time. I don't think there should have ever been a female machamp it's not the fact that it's female it's wearing underwear that's it what about the bra.

I think that there shouldn't be a female Castform. I mean... look at it. It has something dangling down below no matter what. Female, male, it doesn't matter with Castform.
I think the reason that there are female and male of some weird types of Pokes is because they need to breed and not just with a Ditto. Without the two sexes, the wouldn't be able to breed and that would suck. Mr. Mime should not be a female. And Gardevoirs shouldn't be male. It's just odd but I guess it is just a neccessary thing.

i dont exactly like your reasoning for castform, but its in the amorphous egg group so it really doesn't make sense for it to even have a gender. though in all actuallity, "genderless" pokemon may simply be those that the scientists (in canon) were simply unable to find any defining features to make a decisive call on a pokemons' gender. castform is a man-made pokemon so they probably know based on a genetic level.
