#### Underappreciated Pokémon

I think this is like my 358764th useless topic.
What're some Pokémon you guys like that everybody else seem to avoid? I've always thought Cradily and Raikou were cool, but marred by wasted potential.
Tropius too, but he's literally a flying Meganium. Didn't stop me from using him on a few runs, though. Mismagius is also great.

Tropius has one thing Meganium doesn't: the bananas on his neck.
I've always felt Raichu was underappreciated, at least in contrast with Pikachu and Pichu

Tropius has one thing Meganium doesn't: Being useful. As a HM slave, but still.
Seconding Raichu, and also Sharpedo and Camerupt. I always end up using them in every gen 3 run I do and yet nobody cares.

Seconding Cradily, it's my favorite fossil and I loved its design since I discovered the eyes were actually the yellow spots that look like teeth, they give it an alien look to me. Also it has a nice movepool and it can be useful as a wall and for stalling.
Another fossil I love is Rampardos because "yay dinosaurs", sadly its stats are not so great but I like how it has an incredible Attack.
Aside from fossils I'd say Eelektross, cool design, especially in X and Y where it looks like an actual eel swimming in air, no weaknesses, huge movepool and it can run offensive, special or mixed.

Camerupt is awesome. Nobody ever expects him, and he's got some decent coverage.

Muk.
Is a fricken wall, with buffs to make it more of a wall such as acid armor and minimize, has a few good stab moves, can learn toxic (really needs toxic spikes though), and best of all if you beat a pokemon with it you can gloat to your opponent on how got destroyed by feces.

Y U NO EVASION CLAUSE?????
Anyways, I think that Primeape is a forgotten/unappreciated Pokemon, because there are better fighting types than it (Machamp, Poliwrath, Hitmonlee)

because internet.
Jynx
Seriously this is a really good pokemon. In first gen she/he was fast enough to first strike a dragonite with the incredibly rare move ice punch (at the time), and was one of the most over powered types, Psychic. She's totally been forgotten because not much people like her design. "Oh it's racist" they say, and i be all like "if a dog was black and had red lips, would that be racist?" "it can't help the way it looks". then nintendo/Shigeru Miyamoto be all like "Every jynx ever is goin' be purple. Fuck yo bitch ass, tachi. It 'bout the dough and keepin' the peeps happy dawg."

Jynx is quite well-known in NU actually (though they might have banned her to BL3, I haven't kept up with the times lately).

Lanturn.Everybody is always like. "Rotom wash is the only water/electric type." They are wrong.Chinchou and Lanturn are cool types,somewhat wally,and have pretty decent stats.

Amen to Dodrio! Drill Peck works really well on him, and his speed and above average attack lets him wallop many Pokémon with it.
Also >lolflyingwithoutwings
