5th Gen 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 actually have an Adamant Stoutland, so I'm sure you can imagine what it's attack stat has to be like. lol

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.

Good for you to have Adamant. I have a Modest one, and still its sweeping like there is no tomorrow.

Another Pokemon that comes to my mind is Braviary. First time I saw one, I was like , "OMG! This is gonna be OU!"
 
I'm surprised no one has mentioned this guy...

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

Oh yes, you're talking about the shallow movepool and incredibly slow Ghost-type known as Yamask and Cofagrigus.

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 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 ...
 
i forgot to mention this guy.

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 also agree with you on this one

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.
 
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.

I agree that Scolipede is very underrated because while 90 Attack isn't bad, it isn't very good either. Also, it can sweep better with Megahorn/Earthquake/Rock Slide/Swords Dance. It can also use Baton Pass to pass on Swords Dance, Agility or Iron Defense (the latter won't see much use, though). However, because of its poor Special Attack, it can't utilize Venoshock well (plus, it's a rather gimmicky move).
 
I think you should take a look at Sawsbuck.

It changes with the seasons but so few people use it.

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.
