Other underrated Pokémon of 5th Gen

Seismitoad: Amazing Tank, and it doesn't get outclassed by Swampert and Gastrodon in some scenarios

Durant: Right now Durant is like a Bullet Punch-Less Scizor (just like Scizor before Platinum), is still a good Pokémon, but not as good as Scizor

Terrakion: Back in BW Terrakion was awesome, it was everywhere, after XY came out, Terrakion fell out on usage a lo, but he is still being very good Pokémon

Cinccino: The problem with Cinccino is, you either go for Luck (King Rock, not an amazing strat) or Band (wich is strong, but not really viable)

Stoutland: is a good sand sweeper

Come to think of it, another underrated, and even frowned upon Pokemon, from fifth gen, would actually be Gigalith. He's terrifyingly strong, and yet, frowned upon. He boasts the strongest Explosion in the game, having base 135 attack, and is even more scary due to it's ability, Sturdy. Since he can't be one shot, holding a Choice Band makes his Explosion one of the strongest hazing moves in the game, but for whatever reason, people don't know how viable this is, and I can be mocked for running him in Pokemon Showdown under VGC rules as a Primal and set-up slayer.

The strongest Explosion in the game is Lickylicky (STAB)

I think Crustle is another underrated Pokemon too. He isn't very good stat wise, but he is a great suicide Hazard pokemon. He can most likely set up your team in a good way if you know there is a Pokemon with a lot of Hp and Def. All he has to do is lay down spikes and a stealth rock to give an advantage for your team.

I'd have to say given bad reputation and underrated heatmor he's got okay stats just needs a little training his hidden ability can be good has a well round set of moves for stab and he can make use of speed disadvantage with a few moves also depends on items used all round with him he's underrated but can be decent
