Dose anyone else thinks Brocks Croagunk is underused? He only comes out to hit Brock with Posin Jab and in Movie 10 he hits away one of Dialgas attacks, proving he is strong and a good pokemon. He did lose to Pikachu, but Jess was the trainer. Brock should use him or give him to Ash for gym battles rather then let it go to waste what do you think?

He's fine as he is.
Like you said, he's overpowered. Crushing all of the gym leaders wouldn't be any fun to watch.

Ash should NEVER get anyome elses pokemon unless he can prove he can catch it himself. I hate that he got buizel when he failed to catch it the first time.
Croagunk is doing ok with Brock. I isn't strange for him to have really good pokemon that are hardly used. From the tag battle and just about every battle he's been in shows that he has pokemon and battle knowledge vastly superior to ash. He was a gym leader of course and as such can asses the situation to put up a good battle and win. They probably don't have him battle as often because he would out shine Ash and we know they'll never let that happen.

Most of his Pokemon are confined to their respective Pokeballs to rot.
If anything, Croagunk is the one Brock Pokemon that's getting some spotlight (besides Happiny)

More like Brock's underused. Croagunk is what makes Brock bearable this season (not that I really hate Brock that much), so of course it isn't underused. I suppose we don't see it in battles too often, but again, that's because we don't see Brock in battles too often.Frenchy said:

The prey bites back!
honestly when i first saw croagunk i wanted ash to catch it

Yeah, ok!
Croagunk is one of the only reasons why people aren't complaining about Brock as much this season.
I honestly don't think Brock has been handled well since he came back after Orange. The only reason why we're stuck with him is because Tracey went over so badly with the fanbase.

Croagunks's not just the best part about Brock, but the best part about the show itself. You may remember him from such episodes as "Setting the World on it's Buneary" and "Smells like Team spirit. But putting him with Brock seems like the best choice, considering with Dawn, he'd be absolutely WASTED and with Ash, he'd just be another powerhouse.

I like him best with Brock, he doesn't seem like an Ash Pokemon if you ask me.
I don't see Croagunk being underused. He's in most of the battles Brock has held. The fact that it's incredibly strong and a fan fave at the same time makes it unlikely that the writers would want to hide it away anyway.
Croagunk is the coolest Pokemon in the group so far, imo.

I don't think he's underused. Croagunk seems to Brock's "main" pokemon, like Pikachu and Ash and Piplup and Dawn. He comes out when Brock starts hitting on a girl.
Plus, Croagunk is cool. In the tenth movie, Dialga shot a beam of energy and Croagunk deflected with a punch!

Well, all of Brock's Pokemon are underused since he isn't in contests or gym battles. He is fine as is.

Really? I honestly think Croagunk is getting more airtime than Happiny! In fact, I think Happiny needs more airtime!

Yeah it definitely seems that Croagunk shows up often. I loved the first Hippopotas episode when Croagunk popped out of its Poke Ball and dragged the sleeping Brock over to where Ash and Dawn were hiding. I hope that they show Croagunk more in the newer episodes.

Brock's croagunk is a staple now and part of the show's humor by poison jabbing Brock when he starts to lust. Battle-wise he isn't used that often because of Brock not battling often. It has proven to be quite a strong pokemon, though. In fact, Brock's current pokemon have proven themselves to be quite strong when compared to his past pokemon; even happiny to can lift gigantic loads.
Anyway, croagunk appears on the show a lot of the time even if it isn't battling, so I'm going to say no, it isn't underused in the show based on its number of appearances.
