Favorite under-rated pokemon

[4771]

Just what the thread's name says, what's your favorite under-rated pokemon? it can be any rarely used pokemon you choose, and it doesn't have to be under-rated by smogon. i honestly like skorupi just because it's based on a scorpion

Dunsparce. Its design makes it look cute and really non-threatening and I always thought it should evolve into a Normal/Dragon type or something with high defense. The fact that it also just rarely shows up anywhere, even in its debut generation in Johto, adds to the weirdness of this Pokemon.

I like Articuno the most. Besides the fact that it looks gorgeous and pretty, it also has a decent moveset and overall decent stats. It's a shame not many people give it a chance due to it's dreaded X4 Rock weakness.

Mew is capable of doing great damage to any pokemon plus it can learn any move even transform .Plus his stats are reasonable and he is not a dual type pokemon making his only weaknesses dark and ghost and as I said mew can learn any move so a fighting move and a dark move would take care of those weaknesses.

Shoutout to my homie Ditto for constantly taking it!

Mightyena, and yes it is under-rated mainly because of it's bad moveset back in the day, however, it is now quite a good pokemon with a stable moveset

Vivillon is surprisingly cool. It has a nice design (especially my Polar) but it's also been really useful in battle for me. It makes a good Double Battle partner because of it's status effects and Hurricane is great against hordes!

poochyena idk if this one is used often or not but i never saw it used other tha npcs

Swalot, not because it was amazing or anything like that, but I just like Swalot.

I'm starting to like Reuniclus a lot. It's not the best Pokemon out there but its really fun to use in a Trick Room team and with the ability Magic Guard, you could even slap a Life Orb on it without the HP-reducing effects.

I would be for Migtyena goddamn does it look cool
I also like Starmies Moveset
Another cool underrated Pokemon is Goodragon it may have good moves but it´ve seen it so rarely used that I would judge it as underrated

 

[Ashkil]

I think I see so few Jolteons that I consider it to be underrated. It has incredible speed and decent offensive power, and I still consider it to be the best Eeveelution.

I agree that Reuniclus is an awesome pokemon XD Plus, it learns Acid Armor so it has potential to become a solid defensive wall with the right investments. That's how I run mine

My pick as an underrated pokemon would have to be Lilligant. It's design is very cute but it suffers from its mono-typing and subpar stats. If only they'd made it Grass/Fairy like they did with Whimsicott, I think it would've been used much more because it gets Quiver dance to boost it's stats and, with the right investments, I'm sure it would find a spot on someone's team.

I like gallade. It looks awesome. It looks like some sort of super-speedy robot and the stats are high too! I have a Kirlia in my team in X. I will evolve it into gallade pretty soon!!! Just need a dawn stone.
