Moved this over to Pokémon General, since a question like this isn't always game-oriented and can focus on the franchise as a whole!

But anyways.. for me, Galvantula. It's a good mon in the games and hardly ever used or talked about within the franchise in general. Also Bellossom. Sure, not as good as Vileplume, but still super cute!!

Milotic, run max SDef Milotic with mirror coat and it can take any SDef threat. Agasint a volt/turn team with Rotom? Not anymore because Milotic eats that Volt Switch and nukes whatever comes in. 😀 This Milotic set has claimed many souls for me in UU.

Vanilluxe is one of my favorite gen 5 mons and it’s a shame it gets bashed... I don’t care that it’s just an ice cream cone, it’s a hecking cute ice cream cone! I love the smiley face on the back. It also got a great buff with the ability Snow Warning. Fire off perfectly accurate Blizzards!

I'll have to say that barely anyone talks about my boy Drapion. I really like him!

I love Drapion! However, every time I catch Skorupi, it's a girl. So, Drapion's my girl!

The Galar fossils are already extremely divisive, and Dracovish being too powerful competitively doesn't help things. But really, I just love the idea of a creature that can't function properly because of its contradictory nature. Dracovish is exactly that. I guess I have a bias for Pokémon designed by Hitoshi Ariga (that aren't named Alolan Graveler).

Tangela. Honestly, it's a beast, especially with Eviolite.

Camerupt, I feel like a lot of people don't like it due to its low Speed and 4x weakness to Water. Its still one of my favourite Gen 3 Pokémon and is one that I've used many times before.

I still stand that Heliolisk is underrated and not talked about lots; it's a happy lizard with traits of both a real life basilisk and fictional basilisk as well as being a frilled lizard that absorbs the sun.

I'm still waiting for a plushie of it.

Qwilfish, the angry pufferfish is one of the most forgotten Pokémon in the franchise. I understand it's effectively a discount Tentacruel, but it still deserves some love.

Lumineon. People act like it's "forgettable" all the time when I've always been fond of it. I don't think it's THAT generic looking, tbh. So, I've never been sure why it's so "forgotten" or whatever.

I think Paras and Parasect are very underrated. They both lost some of their uniqueness when Spore, their signature move, was made more accessible. Shroomish is generally really liked and Foongus and its evolution are quite good during battles as well.

The Paras line, however, still suffers from its Bug/Grass typing. They got some good moves like X-Scissor, but that's nothing new, really.

It's a shame because those two have some really nice concept behind them resulting in some very dark lore bits for the Pokemon world.

I adore Lumineon, especially its cry!

I agree with Galvantula and Mienshao too!

My pick would be Venomoth. It benefitted so much from the physical and special move split because bug and poison types were originally based on the attack stat. Also, Tinted Lens improves its overall power. It's a shame it was rather weak in the generation it was introduced in. I love Venomoth to the point I chained 6 shiny ones back in DPPt.
