there is more than 720 pokemon now. There are also pokemon that are fully evolved and can be useful. I judge these pokemon based on design, Stats, movepool, evolution time (how long it takes to evolve if it has an evolution) defensive strengths/weakness . Obviously no overated pokemon allow. These pokemon may not be an award winning but at the very least useful. Lets start at the beginning and most forgotten pokemon

#1 Butterfree
Before you tell me that that butterfree is horrible, This little butterfly is not great or horrible.
Design: Really cute but there are cuter pokemon
Stats: Mediocre stats but only problem is defense. If you can get based the defense then the rest is just average
Movepool: Great movepool. This bug can learn confusion, poison powder, stun spore, sleep powder leveling up. This can learn alot of great move that I never expected.
S/W: This has 5 weaknesses, 3 resistances and 1 immunity which is average at best.
Overall: This pokemon is average and not so bad. I even tried it out once. It more of a gameplay than competitive so if you want to have a annoying status inflicter than i can recommended butterfree.

#2 Primeape
Primeape is a really strong pokemon offensive-wise. This was the go to pokemon if you chose charmander back in the day.
Design: This pokemon looks weird but cool
Stats: Slightly disapointing stats for a awesome design. I Thought this pokemon will be 480+ but it's 455. This has great ATK and SPE with lacking DEF but it can learn bulk up.
Movepool: Good movepool. Nothing spectacular but it supports his stats.
SR: 3 weakness and 3 resistance.
Conclusion: Great pokemon and isn't a bad ATK-er. This pokemon should be used a bit more and a mega evolution could let this pokemon make its way to OU.

#3 Raticate
Oh raticate, the known kanto hm slave which is 80% of the time used for. Can this pokemon be more than just an hm slave and have competitive use?
Design: This pokemon looks bad*** though there are better designs.
Stats: It can be argued that it's stats are bad but to me it's respectable. It specializes in atk and spe. This pokemon can learn swords dance which can be helpful
Movepool: It's movepool is good and all but is a waste to have a large movepool. Alot of not all have special moves that normal types can learn via tm like thunderbolt or flamethrower.
Ability: (I decided to add this. to butterfree and primeape but will add post conclusion) Raticates abilities are hustle, runaway and guts. Hustle is useful for a physical sweep but loses accuracy so swords dance is a better choice. Runaway is only used for gameplay and Guts is best one since it also boost atk but when inflicted with status problems. Status infliction is really common so guts is the best
BTW pure or common typing pokemon won't have s/r to save time
Conclusion: Raticate is a somewhat good pokemon that can be useful is done right.
Butterfree's ability Compound eye and tinted len. Compound eyes raises accuracy and tinted lens double the power of NVF hits.
Primeapes ability is anger point, vital spirit and defiant. Anger point is op which maxes atk when hit with a crit. Vital spirit prevents sleeping and defiant which raises atk when stats are lowered

#4 Nidoking.
Yes I know that it's slightly popular but it's kinda hard coming up 40 with FE pokemon that have no mega and arent overrated.
Design: I like the design. that it
Stats: Disapointingly balanced stats. Not how I would picture it's stats being 495 alo you have to rel
Movepool: Mixed attacking movepool whoch isn't needed like raticate
Ability: Poison point, rivalry, sheer force are his abilities. Poison Point poison target on contact which can annoy the target. Rivalry raises atk if its against the same gender. Sheer force removes additional effects but target does more damange.
S/R: 4 weaknesses and 5 resistances which is great typing.
Conclusion: Great pokemon but needs useful status moves to it's stats.

#5 Nidoqueen
If I talk about nidoking, then nidoqueen is next. I can't say much anything different.
Design: I think the design is really elegant as nidoking is awesome looking
Same stats(even though it distribution is slightly different) same abilities, similar movepool if not same, and same typing. to save wasted time I'll get to the end.
Conclusion: Nidoqueen is not much different from Nidoking so it doesn't matter which one to choose competitive wise. You can pick one based on design and the stats only. They are not bad at all because they learn a lot of good moves to do damage and possibly annoy or troll the opponent. The only things needs to happen between the two is more different than similar.

#6/7/8 Pidgeot vs Farfetched vs Dudrio vs Fearow part 1
I'll do something a little different by comparing all 4. Most of the time people chose Pidgey over fearow when playing gen 1/remakes because it's common, early in the game, and is thought to be better. Fearow is sometimes used, Dudrio is rarely used, and Farfetched is never used.
Design: Dudrio has the best design out of the 4. The rest of the designs are kinda bland.
Stats: Pidgeot may have the highest stats but dudrio stats aren't that off from pidgeot's. Fearow's is meh and Farfetched is arguably horrible.
Movepool: It's a tie between Dudrio and Farfetched. They both have great moveset which can be strategically useful for competitive battles. Pidgeot has the worst moveset out of the 3 mostly flying moves while the others have more variety to their moveset,
Ability: All except dudrio have the ability keen eye which prevents accuracy loss. Dudrio and Pidgeot have tangled feet which raises evasion when confused. Farfetched has defiant which I've already explained and Dudrio has runaway(see #3)

These are some nice tips that you listed for these certain Pokemons :D I like how you list not the overrated Pokemon but the ones that people don't seem to use much . Maybe this might convince them to use them because I find this rather great so keep up the good work ! :D

thnx faithnor :D
 
I didn't underestimate these pokemon because i knew that any pokemon can beat any pokemon maybe this information might change other trainer's mind about choosing these same pokemon to be in their party and will use them throughout the pokemon game that they are playing.
 
For nidoking stats part, it was supposed to say "you have to rely on evs ivs and ability instead of status moves to do good damage" That part got cut :c. whoch = which.
 
Pidgeot vs Farfetched vs Dudrio vs Fearow part 2
It a really popular opinion that pidgeot the best and farfetched is horrible but there is something farfetched does better than pidgeot. That is supportness. In fact each bird has their exclusive s/w
Pidgeot has good stats but lacking in coverage in it's movepool
Dudrio has great movepool but has slightly lacking stats
Farfetched has great support moves but bad-ish stats
Fearow has good movepool but really lacking in stats. a trend
See a trend? Pidgeot strength is from stats while the rest's strength is mostly from movepool.
Conclusion: It's really sad that dudrio isn't used much. I recommend farfetched if you want good support. I recommend Fearow if you want underdogness (let's be honest, Fearow isn't much of a good pokemon so it's kinda hard to recommend.) I recommend Dudrio if you want a bird with great movepool with not-so bad stats and I recommend Pidgeot if you want the kanto bird with the best stats and to have early bird.
 
#9 Arbok(short)
Arbok is the super average pokemon which I can kinda see why it isn't used.
Design: It's looks cool but blandish
Stats: Meh
Movepool: The good thing about its movepool that it has a lot dark moves for coverage on psychic type which is its weakness. This snake can learn ice fang for coverage on ground types. Also this pokemon highest stat is atk and most dark moves nd ice fang are physical moves.
Ability: This snake has intimidate which I'm pretty sure everyone knows what that does. Unnerve prevents berry use which is really annoying to a competitive battler. Lastly shed skin heals the user stats conditions which is extremely helpful in competitive battling since status conditions are really common.
Fun fact: Arbok is kobra spelled backward just like ekans is snake backwards. (I know a lot of people already know this.) As for something you may not know, A kobra is also spelled cobra.
Conclusion: Arbok is a underrated pokemon which is average in some parts and great in others. If only this gets buffed whether it be a evolution, mega, or stats buffs to at least 480 then this will make it's way to uu.

I think that Butterfree isn't good at all even with quiver dance and tinted lens with the increased accurary. I think that Primeape isn't good as it is in RU and for good reasons. Its stats/typing are bad but a good movepool

#10 Raichu
The pokemon that has the sympathy to me is this little rat. Raichu has been overshadowed thoughout the years by adding light ball and cosplay exclusive to pikachu. LB Pikachu having more spa than raichu didn't help. Cosplay didn't really do anything except for pikachu to look cute. The only buff raichu got was a stat change from 475 to 485.
Design: Raichu is bad**s looking and a little cute while pikachu is just 100% cute
Ability(Out of place because I accidentally put what I was about to say about it's abilities here) :Raichu has static which people reading this should already know what that does. Lightingrod is only useful in double battles because it prevents your ally to get hit by an electric move and goes to the user which also raises spa. Good thing since spe and spa are it strong point
Movepool: Great movepool to work with. My favorite move set is Nasty Plot, Thunderbolt, Grass Knot/Hidden power grass, and something else. The 3 moves is a must.
Stats: Like I mentioned in the beginning, raichu's stats are 485 but the problem is defense. Like pikachu, it may not take an earthquake but raichu has great speed to make up for it.
Conclusion: Raichu is a great electric pokemon to use. If this pokemon defense was better with a mega this pokemon wont be overshadowed anymore:). Only bad thing may happen is that pikachu will be overshadowed and be replaced by raichu in ssb:(.

Nice outlook on these pokemon! Out of all of these listed pokemon i like Raticate the most all though it may not have the best stats but it can be a threat i would like to share a cool move set for it.

Moves:
Counter
Retaliate
Protect
Sucker Punch

Item: Focus Sash

This pokemon set is ment for a fast take down on a threating physical attacker protect is there to scout out their move then you could trick them into hitting Raticate taking out the biggest physical threat on the opponents team.

I would have Raticate to be of a Jolly nature so it could be fast enough to attack. I would max out its attack and speed and leftover IVs would go to HP well this is my moveset.

I would actually make my raticate a fast sweeper. yours seem like a double battle set because retaliate.
252 ATk/252 Spe/4 DEF
leftovers
Moves: Swords Dance, a hi-powe stab move, any other coverage physical moves. This is my favorite set for raticate. It can be a real physical sweeper. Whatever you do, do not underestimate the rat or it'll kill your team.

Retailate is more of a singles move but whatever :playful:
Use a FEAR. You don't even need to EV train it! Your oppenent just can't be a ghost type :p

#11 Sandslash
Design: 40% cute and cool but 20% bland.
Ability: Sand rush and Sand veil. They both boost stats in sandstorm. Sand rush boost speed but sand veil boost evasion. Since it's base speed is slightly lacking, sand rush is a good choice. Sand veil makes sandslash dodge moves which is really useful.
Movepool: Great movepool and easy to work with. There's one problem. You are stuck with a similar moveset when using one. If you want it to be a physical sweeper, then it'll be something like this: Sword Dance, Stab moves, Sandstorm, any other physical move. (If you have a set slightly different, plz share)
Stats: I was wondering why this pokemon was in RU/NU/PU but now I realize why. Its stats are 450. Also it has really weak spd and it's weaknesses are water, grass, and ice which 60-70% of those pokemon specialize in spa. On a positive note, this pokemon's ATK and DEF are amazing which works with it's movepool.
Conclusion: Sandslash is a good pokemon even though its stats are the same number as cherrim, jumpluff, chansey, and venomoth. I can understand why its not used much but it can be a great physical sweeper. If you want a physical sweeper, then give sandslash a try. He's a lot more useful than you may think.

I like Gyro Ball just because when you face againest pokes in RU (Sandslash is a NU pokemon) you are usually slower and it could do a whole lot of damage :eek:

Sandslash @ Leftovers
Ability: Sand Rush
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def
Adamant Nature
- Rapid Spin
- Knock Off
- Earthquake
- Stealth Rock/Swords Dance
This is a good smogon set for bulk with a sandstorm user.

#12 Ninetales
Its a popular opinion that arcanine is better than ninetales mostly because arcanine stats distribution is better. In my opinion, ninetales is more easy to work with than arcanine.
Design: Ninetales is beautiful and elegant.
Abilty: Drought automatically enables the sun and flash fire powers up ninetales if hit by fire move. Drought is better because its useful for sunny teams, and lets you use solar beam which takes out almost all ninetale's weakness. Also alot of people know its a stupid idea to fight fire with fire in pokemon. It can also learn energy ball just in case.
Movepool: I like ninetale movepool better than arcanine because its more usable. I like to specialize nintales in SPA, SPD, with a little speed. You can use calm mind, stab, solar beam since I use drought, and something else.
Stats: In gen 1, ninetales was semi-op because of the spa/spd being the same. now it spa is less than before which why ninetales isn't used much. It stats now ar great. 2-3 calm minds, then your ready to sweep.
Conclusion: Though its not as good as it was in gen 1, its still a great pokemon to use. Its useful for sweeping and for sun teams.

13# Vileplume (Sorry for the lack of Posts)
Vileplume is one of my favorite and often foreshadowed grass Pokemon. This is why it's kinda forgettable but this Pokemon is fun to use. Looking at my avatar, you can see that I like grass types. Grass Pokemon is one of the most underrated types which is why I like it the most. This one of the grass types that have less than 5 weakness. 5 weakness is one reason why some fans hate grass and rock types.
Design: This Pokemon looks cute sometimes and sometimes creepy. I also imagine this as a psycho that can kill you in you're sleep (I don't know why I image Vileplume like this.) Also this Pokemon is based on a real life flower called the Rafflesia Arnoldii. This flower has a really bad smell similar to gloom.
Ability: Chlorophyll boost speed in the sun which makes ups for it's poor speed. Vileplumes isn't frail so having it use sunny day wouldn't be a bad idea. If you don't want sunny day to take up a slot, have a sun summoner on your team. Effect spore is commonly used on Breloom which (for each physical hit) has a 9% chance of poison, 10% chance of paralysis, 11% of sleep induction, and 70% of no effect. The only problem is that Effect Spore is unreliable but it does make for a good annoying status inflict-er.
Movepool: Vileplumes Movepool isn't anything too special. Typical grass Pokemon moves (Stun Spore, Sleep Powder, Poison Powder, Sunny Day, Solar Beam, Energy Ball and Synthesis). The only thing missing is leech seed surprisingly.
Typing: I've don't also put typing on all of the post because some have the same typing as others. (As for Ninetales and Sandshrew since no other Pokemon I've posted had these, There not really special enough to talk about) Vileplumes typing is great. This has more resistances than weaknesses being 4 to 5. I scratch my head wondering why this isn't used much even if there's better grass pokemon.
Stats: I scratch my head even more wondering "Why isn't Pokemon used much?". This pokemon has 490 base stats which is close to 500. Is because of the speed, there's chlorophyll. It stats aren't Mega Mewtwo but it's really usable. This specializes in SPA unlike it's johto counterpart Bellosom (Which specializes in SPD) Other than Speed, Everything else is usable.
Conclusion: This pokemon is really usable for competitive battling. This is can be both offensive sweeper or a defensive status inflicter. Either way this pokemon would be great on be on someone team. Not to saw it's flawless since it's movepool isn't the greatest and has a type lack of coverage. If Gamefreak ever make a Kanto remake, I hope they give Vileplume (Including Victreebel who I'll talk about later) I mega. These two who benefit a lot. If not, they'll be stuck in RU-PU range for a long time.

#14 Wigglytuff (I'm starting to get out of order with my organization)
Wigglytuff is one of my favorite pokemon designs because he/she is cute. I've never seen this balloon used in competitive battle EVER. The OU kanto pokemon that outclasses this raballoon (rabbit + baloon) is Clefable with better stats and similar movepool.
Design: Other than it being cute, it design is balloon. It's odd that jigglypuff has cat ears while wigglytuff has bunny ears instead. I have no idea how that works
Ability: Cute Charm isn't my recommended choice. If it works then you'll definitely annoyed the opponent. Frisk identifies the opponents item which isn't that useful compared to others. Competitive is really useful because you sharply the user's SPA if stats are lowered. Wigglytuff has a high SPA. The opponent lower your stats isn't too common in the meta game which can make your ability useless sometimes.
Movepool: Wigglytuff has an enormous movepool. Jigglypuff has a low ATK but its level up movepool is mostly physical so that goingto be a problem. I like to run my wigglytuff offensive but I saw this video (I would put the url but I am not sure if that's allowed) called Don't Mess with the fairies- Pokemon XY Triple where wigglytuff (including Clefable and Carbink) were defensive supports. It has access to work up and dazzling gleam to be a sweeper. (Sadly, it doesn't have moonblast like clefable who has both. :(
Typing: The fairy type added to its normal type made fighting moves neutral, weak to poison/steel, immune to dragon, and resists dark and bug. This made wigglytuff alot more stronger since it has a stab move that does super effective hits.
Stats: Wigglytuff stats are horrible but nowhere near good. It has a lot of bulk and SPA but is really frail and slow. Clefable on the other hand is slightly bulk, defensive, and offensive. You have to be really careful when using wigglytuff.
Conclusion: Wigglytuff is a mediocre pokemon but can possibly be useful when you use it right. If you fail then your wigglytuff will not survive to do anything.

#15 Venomoth
Venomoth is only known for the butterfree and venomat theory (which I personally don't believe in.) Venomoth isn't really used much. Not in competitive or main game.
Design: Venomoth looks weird but a little cute. It's not as cute as venonat :(.
Abilties: It has 3 abilities. Tinted Lens which I already covered and not again. Shield Dust which disables the addictional effect of the move it got hit by. Shield dust is a good ability to troll people with :) (The reason being it can destroys the oponents stragety/set up.) Lastly, Wonder Skin. Wonder Skin makes ALL status moves have 50% accuracy. A lot more trollier (if that's even a word) and annoying than shield dust or any ability :). This why Sigilyph should be used more (Also it has good stats and amazing movepool)
Movepool: Venomoth has really great movepool. This little moth can learn Quiver Dance, Baton Pass, Psychic, Sludge Bomb, Bug Buzz, Toxic Spike, Skill Swap, Solar Beam, Stun Spore, Sleep Powder, Infestation, Uturn, Energy Ball and Poison Powder. With these moves, you can run a offensive or supportive venomoth.
Typing: Being a Bug/Poison, it's weak to 4 types (Fire, Rock, Flying, Pyschic) and resists 5 types (Fighting, Poison, Bug, Grass, and Fairy) It's good to have more resistances than weaknesses.What's funny is that venomoth can fly but can be hit by a ground moves. It gets more funny on Magnezone or Mega Charizard X who are weak to earthquake but are shown to fly or levitate. XD
Stats: Remember when I said that venomoth isn't used much.(despite having a great movepool and good abilities) The reason being that it has painfully average stats. Venomoth is a little frail and not to mention that 450 isn't the greatest stat number. :(.
Conclusion: Venomoth has a lot of potential but crippled by it's stats. Stat, Abilities, and Typing makes a good pokemon in the eyes of competitive players. If one is bad, it could cripple the popularity of a pokemon.
