• Hi all
    Just a notice, we recently discovered that someone got into a moderator account and started hard deleting a load of key and legacy threads...around 150 threads have been lost dating back to 2007 and some weeks ago so we can't roll the forums back.
    Luckily no personal data could be accessed by this moderator, and we've altered the permissions so hard deleting isn't possible in the future
    Sorry for any inconvenience with this and sorry for any lost posts.

Most overrated/underrated Pokemon

The title says it. Who do you think is overrated/underrated?

I am going to start off by saying that Lucario IMO is quite overrated. I don't care about it's design and I see it everywhere too. I didn't even care about the movie it starred in as well.

And as for an underrated Pokemon, I would definitely say Sawk. Some people I usually see on the internet call it 'ugly' and all of the other stuff. But to me, I find it a very useful Pokemon. It comes early in-game (In Black and White, at least), has good base stats, and learns some fine moves too. And as much I don't like admitting this, I love it's design. I can't see how it is ugly, to tell you the truth.

Lucario is overrated kind of (it has so many weaknesses it can be eaisly be Ko'd)

Underrated? I say miltank because it has some good attack and defense

Now, I am not hating on anyone, but Charizard is really overrated in my opinion.
Underrated? Probably Garbodor (and at one point--mostly on the U. S' behalf--Reshiram).

What part of "sweeper" seems to be confusing you?

Floatzel rules!
Overrated Pokemon: Charmander/Charmeleon/Charizard, Pichu/Pikachu/Raichu, Riolu/Lucario, Eevee and it's evolutions, Zorua/Zoroark, Mewtwo, Snivy/Servine/Serperior, Oshawott/Dewott/Samurott, Cyndaquil/Quilava/Typhlosion, Lugia, Chimchar/Monferno/Infernape, I can go on forever with this list...

Also, why do so many people like Zangoose and Ampharos for some reason, I never saw the appeal in either Pokemon to be fair.

Underrated Pokemon: Buizel/Floatzel, Mienfoo/Mienshao, Drilbur/Excadrill, Patrat/Watchog, Hoppip/Skiploom/Jumpluff, Bidoof/Bibarel

Overrated: Possibly any Pokemon from Gen 1. Oh god, especially Charizard. It's hard to say because I really do like Charizard a lot. But I don't understand why it gets so much love. Typhlosion is super cool too! Charizard has a crippling 4x weakness to SR, making it impossible for it to even pull of the Bellyzard strategy in most cases.

Underrated: Meganium. Oh, this starter is super cute, even though I chose Typhlosion. And it can be a pain to beat if used correctly. My Typhlosion had a lot of trouble beating it, even with type advantage. Meganium has Leech Seed, Body Slam for paralysis, and a ton of other good support moves. Also, Torterra. While it does has a crippling 4x Ice weakness, it has an amazing design, and awesome moves. I find Cresselia underrated too. It makes an amazing wall and it's cry is just cool! Typhlosion is underrated too. It has great speed and special attack, and is a monster under the sun; but I do understand that its shallow movepool can really cost it.
