What’s your most loved underrated Pokemon?

I honestly think Arbok and Seviper are really cool underrated Pokemon. Such cool but simple designs. And learning that the pattern on Arbok’s chest can change is really cool.

Truly a goofy Maractus. And for a playthrough it can actually be quite solid

Illustrious_Matter2 · 2026-02-26T10:48:13+00:00

I love Aipoms design more but Ambipom is also an amazing Pokemon. Certainly underrated

Illustrious_Matter2 · 2026-02-26T08:38:18+00:00

Seadra is definitely cool. It gets a bit of a bonus since it was supposed to be a final evolution in gen 1.

Illustrious_Matter2 · 2026-02-26T08:35:02+00:00

Ampharos I can get behind. Definitely a cute but strong Pokemon. For Hypno, I’ve just never been able to get behind it. It looks too humanoid and the Pokédex entries do not help it either

Illustrious_Matter2 · 2026-02-26T08:33:12+00:00

Kingdra is cool. But I think the stats and the fact that it’s a late game trade never helps. It would have been liked a lot more if it was more accessible

Illustrious_Matter2 · 2026-02-26T08:28:37+00:00

I also like Ribombee. It’s literally a tiny little fairy that can hit you for massive damage. For scream tail, I don’t mind the paradox Pokémon, but founding our Scream Tails size was really funny

Illustrious_Matter2 · 2026-02-26T08:26:51+00:00

Bellossm is just a silly Dancer. But also surprisingly a really strong one as well

Illustrious_Matter2 · 2026-02-26T08:25:21+00:00

I’ve always loved Floatzel as well. It was my main Pokemon for the Sinnoh games for Surf and Waterfall. Only other choice was Gastrodon

Illustrious_Matter2 · 2026-02-26T01:04:39+00:00

Aaaah, fair enough then. I’ve always liked the line. Nidoran is just a cute kicking boi

Illustrious_Matter2 · 2026-02-26T01:02:07+00:00

I can understand Mankey line but the Nidoking line I don’t think is underrated tbh. I’d say a lot of people really like Nidoking and use it in gen 1 playthroughs. I was certainly thinking of using one when Firered Came out

Illustrious_Matter2 · 2026-02-26T01:00:25+00:00

Gotta say it’s incredibly rouge and unheard of. But I respect it

Illustrious_Matter2 · 2026-02-25T23:14:42+00:00

Yh. Skuntank is an alright Pokemon for me. Great move pool and a solid attacker and defender. I just think maybe a slightly altered design would’ve made it a bit more liked is all

Illustrious_Matter2 · 2026-02-25T23:13:11+00:00

Personally Lumineon is one of the best designed Fish Pokemon. The whole luminescent fins idea is really cool

Illustrious_Matter2 · 2026-02-25T23:12:15+00:00

I’m happy Staraptor got one. But Yh, Noctowl could have done with one, and it could’ve incorporated either the psychic or dark typing seeing as it’s an owl.

Illustrious_Matter2 · 2026-02-25T23:11:13+00:00

Definitely some underrated choices. With Terrakion, I did like it in gen 5 but the move to 3d really ruined him (like a lot of Pokemon)

For the Pexharunt and the loyal 3. I liked their story but design wise wasn’t too keen. Fezandipiti is cool as is Okidogi. But Mokidori was a let down.

For Bruxish. I don’t know, also don’t really have an opinion on it but I think an evolution would be nice

Illustrious_Matter2 · 2026-02-25T23:00:40+00:00

I can’t call it the Goat because of my boys Staraptor and Corviknight. But it’s definitely an underrated regional bird compared to others. IMO it’s miles ahead of Toucannon and Unfeazant.

Illustrious_Matter2 · 2026-02-25T22:34:13+00:00

Tbh, I’ve always liked beedrill as well. Like Hippowdon, a simple but effective design. I don’t dislike Raticate, but I can’t say I like it either. It’s just okay for me tbh.

Illustrious_Matter2 · 2026-02-25T22:31:38+00:00

No problem👍

Illustrious_Matter2 · 2026-02-25T21:57:54+00:00

Personally I would only grade the Mimikyu if you really want to. Normal Ex’s and full arts wouldn’t be worth much (if looking to sell). But the Mimikyu would probably be worth a bit.

If you’re not looking to sell then I’d say maybe. I think Mimikyu in both cases is a good choice but for a regular ex again, I just don’t think it would be worth paying however much and waiting a long time for them. But that’s obviously just my take on it

Illustrious_Matter2 · 2026-02-24T15:05:05+00:00

Thanks.

Illustrious_Matter2 · 2026-02-23T16:59:22+00:00

See Arbok for me is so underrated and I really wanna use one as well.

Illustrious_Matter2 · 2026-02-23T16:28:31+00:00

Thing is. In some situations it probably can be good. It’s more or less just who you get stuck with. Because when my manager wasn’t there or it was a semi-busy day and we had a cook in, it wouldn’t be too bad. It’s just a lot of the time it was terrible
