Most Underrated Legendary

Raikou. Entei got an entire movie about itself, Suicuine was the mascot of Crystal. But Raikou? Aside from that one special episode (The Legend of Thunder) Raikou basically got basically nothing. No, I don't count the Illusion of Zoroark movie because the legendary beasts shared the spotlight in that one. Not only is the Legend of Thunder special pretty obscure these days, it's not on dvd anywhere either, so finding something where Raikou is the spotlight is a challenge these days.

I'm gonna add insult to injury by pointing out that all three of the legendary beasts are assist Pokémon in Smash Bros. Melee, but since Brawl, only Entei and Suicune have returned to that role.

The lake trio, I feel, are especially underrated, and the fact that they're not Fairy-types should be a criminal offense. It's even worse when they're not the only pure Psychic-type legendaries with Levitate in Generation IV, either. Speaking of, I suppose Cresselia is underrated...unless you're aware of how successful it's been in the VGC scene.

I'll point out Type: Null and Silvally too, not because they're underrated Pokémon, but because everyone forgets they're legendary. Sometimes I do.
