Source: Various quizzes on Sporcle
Tools used: Excel
Methodology/other bits: Not very complicated, just did each quiz and took the top and bottom in the stats.
What fascinates me is that the least memorable ones are quite uniform? Most of them either fall into a category of "spiny sea thing", "mushroom thing" or "thing that looks like a bell". Not quite sure if they're the least cute, but I feel there's something there...

Lickitung seems to be the only exception to this. There’s probably some psychological explanation to why these are less memorable - probably because they aren’t as cute as you said, which is due to the lack of anthropomorphism present in their designs.
As a side note, I’m surprised to see that Lickitung is the least memorable, I’d have guessed some bug type like Metapod for Gen 1.

Lickitung can only be traded for on route 18

Totally anecdotal, but I remember failing at guessing certain Pokemon due to not remembering how to spell them (I actually had to check how to spell Lickitung's name just now). When I'd fail at spelling it the first few times, I'd just decide to leave it for later to maximize my score.
Maybe the complexity of the name also has a factor?
