Well sweeties, which Pokémon you feel seems the most underrated? For some reason, I would say Miltank, sweeties. I don't know why but it seems to me to be a great Pokémon to have around in your party. Well that's just me, how about you sweeties?

Well, I currently think Sunkern is the most underrated Pokémon. I never see it get much attention at all, but I think its a real cute and great Pokémon.

I had a Miltank in my silver party. Her heal bell and milk drink techniques saved me numerous times. *memories*
I've heard a lot of negative things about Gloom, mainly from those who think it's too ugly to battle with and/or weak. Doesn't it just make your insides want to burst when you hear people base someone's worth on appearence alone? Gloom has proved to be a very useful for my party in multiple games.

I actually like Miltank a lot. I really think that Stantler is way too underated. I never see it used and it is not too special.

Shuckle.
I've heard lots of people say it's worthless, weak, etc.
It actually has the highest defense of any Pokemon so far.
Slaking is also ignored in my opinion.
It has the highest base stats for a non-legendary Pokemon. (according to SPP)

The most underrated Pokemon has to be Magikarp. No, seriously I think it's Clampearl. I've seen a serious decline of these lately but Clamps a pretty cool Pokemon. It sure has gotten me out of a few toughies.

No guys, it's Clefable... I mean, how often d'you see a Clefable appear in a match? Never. That's right. Never.

As for me, people underrate Mamoswine a bit too much

I would say burmy Hitmontop, well maybe not the most, but underated, priority move sweeper...
as for MOST, I have to say Clefable, very very underated.

I have to say Wobbufett or Shuckle with its power trick.
My wobbuffett can hurt my Dialga a fair bit with mirror coat.

I would have to say sunflora or yanma.
They are my two favorite pokemon and I'm sick of people saying they are worthless and bad!
Mine are acctually pretty good.

I think the most underrated pokemon of all time is Garchomp. He in't used very much probably because he's just a dragon.

Guess it's Swalot for me.
He can survive a Metagross's Earthquake and return it with a Counter, but there are others which can do this too, so I guess this is why Swalot is underrated :/

Parasect and Breloom is under-rated

I use it all the time :P ...
Wailord, without a doubt. It can either raise up it's defensive states or Water Spout wonderfully. Dewgong comes second, beeing a UU Lapras.

They're really good pokemon though in my opinion :/

But it can only move every two turns.
Typhlosion, the hype of the other starters seems to drag alot of attention away from this beast. :D

The most underrated Pokemon is probably....Ampharos. I mean, everyone knows it's strong, but have you seen one online?, no. I think all Johto Pokemon are underrated (beside the three dogs and the two birds).

I'd go with Miltank and Butterfree.
I don't really like the bug types that much :(

I'd have to say.....dunsparce :bandit:. Whats with the bandit? Oh well. Dunsparce as it is quite strong and quite rare, and adorable :P. Yet, I never see anyone with him. Actually, I cant even remember a trainer with him. :surprised:. Oh well.

I have a Miltank on my main team :D She's used as a tank rather than a cleric though.
Hmm:
Octillery
Qwilfish
Dunsparce
Parasect
Venomoth
Swalot
^These are just the Pokémon that I adore, there's many more forgotten Pokémon.

the most underrated pokemon? hmm.... i can't decide between miltank and ampharos. i'm more likely to say ampharos, because it's the one more likely to be used, at least by me. It's not that i think miltank's weak. I just have a bit of prejudice against them after GSC. remember whitney's miltank? it was the one pokemon who knew how to piss me off.... but i digress.
Ampharos is the most underrated pokemon that's actually useful...

It's still worthless. Or did you miss the whole 10 Base HP/Atk/SAtk/Spd thing?
As for me, I have to say Rhyperior or Slowbro. Both of them are excellent physical walls, if you know how to use 'em. But they're both bumped down to BL, sadly...

20 Base HP. But at any case, it does have a really suprising moveset:
Trait Gluttony, Impish nature, Peyata Berry item, 252Def/252Sp/6Df
Power Trick
Rock Slide
Encore/Rock Polish
Earthquake
Pass it as many speed as you can from Ninjast, and if not, use Rock Polish. Encore to avoid the foe from using a physical attack, and...

He's dead the turn he uses Power Trick. If not, he's dead the turn somebody with a priority move comes in. And since you didn't invest anything into HP, a Pidgey's Quick Attack can kill him.

I know, that's where you have to make sure to switch it into Rozurade and similars.

I'd say that Mr. Mime get's no attention at all, but is a very sucessful pokemon if you had it, nice pokemon to have around when in poison gym and elite 4 battles.

I'm thinking Magikarp. Easily the most underrated in my opinion.

Thats easy to see. splash splash splash.
Tackle though is the only way you can beat the elite four with it.
And it has average speed, woooooooooot

I would have to say Groudon. Just look at his fan club! Only one member: me!
Everyone thinks Kyogre is better, just because he has type advantage, and probably because he has no expression, and apparently people like that sord of thing. I've beaten many Kyogres online with a Groudon, it's not that hard. All you need to do is raise some EV's on his Special Defense, and he's safe.

groudon has a fan club? where? wherever it is, I'm joining. groudon's one of my favorite pokemon, beaten only by typhlosion, gallade, and latias.

Choice scarf +Water spout +stab+ driizle = dead thing that doesnt resist or have high sp.def BASE stat

Lets soo, oh yes here is another underrated pokemon: Delibird. I mean, when was the last time you have SEEN one? I barely can find them in the cave between Mahogany and Blackthorne.

It hid itself out of shame. Seriously, it's one of the worst Pokemon in the game, right up there with Spinda and Beautifly.

I've probably said this before, but I'll say it again. Palkia is WAY underated. I swear, almost every Pokemon conversation I ever get into (excluding the ones I have here ofcourse.), they always say "Dialga is better. Palkia sucks. Cause he looks like a dick."
How? How is he better? Huh? Tell me! I want to know! Cause the only way Dialga is better in any shape or form, is his utterly useless semi-high defense stat. That's IT. Nothing else.
Just because Palkia's head is a little bit phalic looking, does not mean he's the gayest Pokemon ever. He's far from it. FAR from it.

Nonono!
First of all, max HP before anything else. Ev's are 252HP/252special defense/6attack Careful nature
Second, don't rely on attack moves such as Silver Wind, but on:
Defense Curl
Rollout
Rest
Toxic
Just remember it has no chanse against steels.
