What is a Pokemon that you thought you would never use but ended up you used it and it was good [especially in a Nuzlocke/other locke]?
I had two Pokemon and am now on my third.
1. Everyone knows Bibarel/Bidoof never made it to the Hall of Fame in a Nuzlocke/other locke. I used my Bibarel, Goobers, as an experiment to see how long he would survive. He succeeded, defeated Dialga, and went to the Hall of Fame.
2. My second Pokemon was in Black, which was a Wedlocke. That game was terrible and I had already suffered several deaths [my total death count, before I rage quit, was 17]. I was hoping for a Sandile to battle Elesa with, but found a freaking cactus instead. Bristle the Maractus was amazing and kicked serious butt. He had to go solo for a long time, as I ran out of boxed females due to my death count. I rage quit after Elesa because everything I touched died [except Bristle].
3. Currently on my third unused Pokemon. I have a Beedrill in my Fire Red Nuzlocke, named Buzzkill. He is amazing and I have used him in every gym at least once [next one is Blaine... He probably won't show up there]. Buzz completely solo-ed Surge's gym, while being underlevelled, without losing any HP. He also solo-ed Erika and nearly solo-ed Koga.
