Pokemons you thought it was weak but actully it's good & the oppeset

[Metal Force]

So what pokemons you thought was weak but when you raise it it turned out to be good [& the oppeset]
for example I thought that Plusle is very weak but it's okay.

 

[AJ Flibble]

I thought Butterfree was weak - but it's not actually that bad.

 

[Hazza]

I'd never liked Krabby, but I decided to give him a go, and he ended up being one of my strongest pokemon while I fought the elite four.

 

[Charizard_guardian787]

I found octillary to be pretty good as well despite me thinking him being rubbish

 

[The Homestar Runner]

I beat the Elite Four with an Plusle. It was, for a time, the second strongest pokemon on my team and had the second highest level, after my starter of course.

 

[ellie]

Wobbuffet. No, seriously. I used to think that thing sucked. Mainly because I only faced unskilled people who had one. After seeing what he can do, I realized I was totally wrong.

 

[killerjaw01]

I thought most Fighting Type pokemon would be weak, but Machamp and Hariyama proved their worth in battle.

 

[Moonlight.]

I thought Swellow was weak, but it can be very useful in-game.

At first I thought Flygon was pretty bad as well. I finally got around to using one and I fell in love with it. Shows how much I know.

I also thought Farfetch'd was good. I used it throughout the 1st generation, convinced that it was "the best flying type". It's still one of my favs, but it's my weaker than I thought it was back then.

 

[ZTcrazy]

I thought Torkoal was one of those useless standalone PKMN but now it's one of my favourite in-Toxicaters! It's defense is amazing, it even survived a Hydro Pump.

 

[AJ Flibble]

I also expected Charizard to be really really strong. Meh, I was disappointed.

 

[Volteon]

Kingler, Pinsir, Flareon, Octillery, Regi__ (Excluding steel), Cradly and Banette were Pokémon I thought weak but they have great potential at battling!

I also expected Charizard to be really really strong. Meh, I was disappointed.

Ditto.

 

[Kikas123]

I thought that By it's self Chansey can barely hurt a fly! but it cna survive numerous rounds relitivly unharmed. Also the Rattata family is weak to start but has a great attack!

Raticate pwns. I learnt that the hard way. And then I trained one of my own - awesome.

 

[Claydol]

I never thought Claydol was good untill I caught a Baltoy for no reason and trained it untill it evolved. Now Claydol is my favourite pokemon.

 

[Kimori]

I thought that Shedinja was always weak because it only had 1 HP, but then I found out about it's Wonder Gaurd ability and saw that it was really good!

 

[Angelic Elf Ivy]

I thought Gulpin was weak, but then he became my strongest Pokemon. Too bad I restarted my game not long after...

 

[Vampiric Knight]

I thought the Regis were pretty bad, but I kinda like them over the birds and dogs now. Except Registeel, though...

 

[Vycksta]

^ Agreed. One day I shall raise up my Calm natured Regice.

 

[Evanji Axu]

I didn't know that Dewgong was pretty good until I got one in XD.

 

[Komedic Konservationist]

I expected Lanturn, Blissey, and Ralts to be extremely weak for blatantly obvious reasons, but I was pleasantly suprised to discover how amazing Lanturn and Ralt's evos were in battle..... and not so pleasantly suprised by how beyond amazing Blissey was in battle *Cough*
