Underrated Unova Pokemon?
-
|
For me Stoutland is an underrated Pokemon. It does not get much attention, but its Attack is worth mentioning. It is like the Gen III Snorlax of UU.

I agree, Stoutland is definitely one of them. I haven't perused the Black & White threads in a while, but I'd have to say that Gigalith is another, which I also have on my Black team. |

Another Pokemon that comes to my mind is Braviary. First time I saw one, I was like , "OMG! This is gonna be OU!" |
Swanna is kiinda underrated D: Not many people uses it.. except for Skyla ;A;
|
I'm surprised no one has mentioned this guy...
http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/121/7/1/elgyem__the_alien_poke__mon_by_celestialien86-d3fcoy9.png It's cute but most people think it sucks compared to Gothitelle and especially Reuniclus. I still have room in my heart for Elgyem, it's cute and it's great to use if you get a Special Attack-raising nature. Even my Pokemon walkthrough idol, Marriland uses one! |
Well, I think that Yamask/Cofagrigus is underrated too,although it is one of the few ghosts you can get in-game, due to most of its moves being Ghost Type leaving only a few of other types,working with him gets hard,as most Pokemon have neutral effect to Ghost or are Normal type ...
Plus it makes it hard to defend itself if needed |

I have caught one but never use it despite mine having a Timid nature (which boosts Speed a little but sadly still won't fix that Speed problem). |
i forgot to mention this guy.
http://www.pokestadium.com/pokemon/sprites/handheld/blackwhite/animated/545.gif With the proper set, Scolipede can pretty much sweep, especially with Steamroller and Venoshock. Plus, it has a great design too. Sucks about the typing though. |
I think Scolipede is definitely underrated.
It's helped me the most in my random match wifi battles, but not many people use it. Such a shame. |
Purrloin/Liepard are also underrated.
Like most derps they are only used in the beginning, and are soon dumped on a box ... |

Scrafty is also kind of underrated, not that many people use it :t354:TG |

I don't hear anyone talk about Krookodile, and yet it gets so much love from me that it's unreal. It's quick and strong, has a really cool design, and has some really good moves and typing. It's a wonder people don't talk about it more, to be honest.
|
Definitely agree on Scolipede, tbh it was one of the only gen V Pokémon I really really liked at first.
And well, PLENTY of people use Scrafty, competitively at least. Scrafty really isn't underrated, I see lots of people use it and it kicks ass. |
Yep, I really agree with Sawk, and Scolipede, both really fun to use, and helped me a lot!
|
I'd have to say Carracosta due to how many times it's saved my ass with Shell Smash and a rather nice movepool to go with it. Went with Crunch, Stone Edge, and Surf to accompany Shell Smash by the time I faced the E4 and it cleaned house when given the opportunity.

Krookodile and Gigalith are underated in my opinion

I think you should take a look at Sawsbuck.
It changes with the seasons but so few people use it. http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/8/85/Spr_5b_586.pnghttp://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/8/84/Spr_5b_586S.pnghttp://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/1/13/Spr_5b_586A.pnghttp://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/b/b0/Spr_5b_586W.png It's a great physical attacker especially with a Return/Horn Leech/Megahorn combo. Sawsbuck may have 6 weaknesses but a great Attack stat to have those Physical attacks hit hard! Plus it can learn Jump Kick. I use a Sawsbuck in Black and she did well against the Driftveil Gym. I still cherish my Sawsbuck a lot. |
I would say an underrated pokemon in Unova would have to be Carracosta, with access to shell smash, and being able to have rock slide/aqua jet and getting STAB with both. It's a very good poke that I've seen some people use and I think it's underrated because of it's 4x to Grass. Another one would be Eelektross, I don't know if he's underrated but I love using it and don't see them around too much.
|
...beware, totally from a competitive POV and not entirely in-game since I haven't used them there. XD

Oh and agreed on Carracosta. |

Personally I think Leavanny is underrated
|
Mandibuzz. It's overlooked but it has a niche in taking on certain special attackers that use the Fighting, Psychic, Ghost, Dark type attacks.
This is my post for the 23rd November, Kaori. |
