Most underrated Pokémon?

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.
 
Alomomola. Everyone loves to hate on Luvdisc, but everyone forgets about Alomomola because it isn't Luvdisc's evo like it should be. But it's a PINK SUNFISH. Sunfish are amazing.
