Most Overused Pokemon?

If there is already a topic like this, feel free to remove it.
What Pokemon do you think is used by a lot of people? Here's my list:

1. Pikachu. Most people I battle at school use Pikachu and it gets annoying. Plus Pikachu is easy to knock out if it's not trained well, my Flygon uses one Bulldoze and Pikachu's KO'ed.
2. Dragonite. To me, a lot of people I battle over wi-fi use Dragonite.
3. Scizor. When I battle on the Wi-fi train in the battle subway it goes like this: "Japanese dude sent out Scizor!"
4. Emboar. At my school people like to overuse Emboar for some reason.

So, what's your list?

Why would someone use pikachu or emboar? they are both pretty mediocre, speaking competitively.
Here's mine:
Garchomp, thats why it's Uber.
Most legendaries
Absol
Metagross

Politoed and Ninetales

EDIT
Never see charizard either for that matter...

Kanto pokemon, in general.

Most definitely Garchomp, and also Dragonite every so often pops up.

Politoed and Ninetales aren't exactly "used too much," they only get so much use because they're great leads for Rain and Sun teams, respectively.

As for the metagame, Scizor is used a ton, but you can't argue with it, it's a great pokemon that fits so well onto so many teams.

Dragonite is another highly popular sweeper in the metagame. Also, Dragonjte is becoming increasingly used in battle subway teams because it does such a good job of filling the role of sweeper when you follow the strategy where yu cripple the opponents lead and set up with Nite

just because you can explain their popularity doesn't mean they aren't popular. Weather teams are pretty common. Too common....

According to Smogon Heatran was the most used OU poke of gen 4

But that was 4th gen, just saying.
Anyways, I think the OU right now would be Garchomp, Dragonite,Accelgor, Hydregion, Darmanitan, Conkeldurr ect.

Accelgor uber, LOL? he is RU

Can't tell if you're being sarcastic, if not then you should know, he was obviously referring to Garchomp/UberChomp. -__-

Garchomp, Scizor, Charizard, Serperior, and Gardevoir.
But seriously, if you say Absol is overused, just... ugh. It's amazing, but one of the most underrated Pokemon ever.

Praise the Sun!
I want to say Darkrai. (TrollsterInc you bastard ;p) But I'm guilty of using Garchomp so. =/ To be fair though I rarely use it anymore so hey.
