I’m going to talk about what I think is the most underrated Pokémon of all time. We’ll laugh, we’ll cry, but most of all, you’ll probably want to fight with me to the end.
So if you like controversy, cynicism, sarcasm, Pokémon and are a masochist, stay here.
I don’t base any of these mentions (except 1) on statistics. Instead, most are based on design and some on the Pokémon Pokédex. With that in mind, let’s move on to the rankings:
30. Salinity
Okay, are salamanders underrated? Not only.
However, he is undervalued compared to the other dragons that fly in the Pokémon world.
He doesn’t have the stats to match Garhump or Gaxor, but you know what he does have?
The fact that it’s a real dragon.
They don’t even have wings. They’re bipedal. How can anyone believe that two bipedal dinosaurs are better dragons than this winged behemoth? We can’t, it’s very simple.
29. Urshifu
I hated it when they introduced the legendary evolutions.
It started with Manafi in the distant past and ended with Cosmog on the sun and moon. However, Urshifu single-handedly convinced me of this idea.
I still maintain that Urshifu is, to this day, the best example of how to make a legend succeed.
They manage to form a bond with the Pokémon and grow with it until it eventually evolves.
It’s not handed to you on a silver platter at the end of the game.
While it’s a Pokémon that doesn’t go unnoticed, it doesn’t get the respect it deserves, so I put the respect in its name.
28. Appletun/Flapple
It’s a little apple dragon I want to eat.
Do you want to hear something else from me?
Honestly, this is one of the coolest dragon-style designs I’ve ever seen in any medium, not just Pokémon.
It’s a brilliant design that completely outshines any other kite we’ve had so far. That’s enough to make him worthy of a place in more conversations than he has now.
27. Palossand
Palossand is a successful Pokémon, and I understand that. It’s just a sandcastle.
If you didn’t like the general design of the Generation V Pokémon that Game Freak used, then you probably despise this guy.
I’d say he has one of the coolest and brightest sprites of all time, but that’s not why I think he’s underrated.
Palossand is underrated because this little monster was added to the Pokédex. It says, and I quote: Under the castle lie masses of barren bones of those who have been stripped of their life force.
This Pokémon is a true cannibal serial killer.
26. Toxapex
Toxapex is only really mentioned in the competitive scene, but even then it’s not played as much as it used to be.
It sucks, and not just because it’s the first Pokémon I hyper-trained and EV-trained.
The design is so cool that it stands out from other trap/status extractors.
The immediate comparison that comes to mind is Ferrotorn, but Toxapex looks so much cooler that he deserves more love.
25. Zebstrica
Gen V didn’t have much of a design.
I didn’t even care about the Pokédex in this game until I decided to write this list.
Zebstrica, however, is the only bright jewel in a sea of broken glass and needles.
It’s not too long, that’s why it’s not very high here.
But it’s also an electric rapidash. There’s nothing more to say on the subject, because Rapidash is a god.
24. Arcium
Speaking of God, Artius. He is literally a god.
Every Pokémon fan knows this, but no one talks about it.
He hadn’t seen a real appearance since Platinum.
It’s literally Pokémon Jesus. Although, now that I think about it, that would be Mew….. be
Anyway, the point is that this Pokémon is literally the creator of life as we know it, and it really needs to be talked about more often.
23. Drapion
Why Drapion? Those stats suck, and it’s just a pokemon thing.
Well, in the good old days of Generation IV, it was an absolute nightmare to catch.
And since we now have a remake of Sinno, this would be a good time to bring him back.
The number of hours I wasted trying to catch this creature is frankly embarrassing, even though I was just a kid.
22. Toxicoac
At least I got a Draper.
I’ve never been able to catch a Kroagoon. I spent more time looking for that improved tadpole than I did growing the combo, and for some inexplicable reason I had 10 boxes full of it.
This is my bias, in the best sense of the word.
To you it may not be much, but to me it’s just one thing: pure frustration and hatred.
21. Wasps
Speaking of country suits, Vespiken!
Waspiken isn’t here just because I want to be.
No, I’m suggesting that this admittedly small bug is really underrated.
I mean, look at this. It has such a cool design.
This is what Bidrill would look like if he wasn’t so bad.
Besides, she’s a real queen. I don’t know about you, but the idea of the monarchy fighting for my entertainment is intriguing to say the least.
But maybe that’s just my libertarian side.
20. Resolute
It is essential that the trend of the grass species in this list.
I’d like to tell you that I don’t know why I like herbalists, but that would be a lie.
Growing up, I loved gardening and flowers (which explains the next item on this list). I loved him so much that, in my strange wisdom, I nicknamed my Generation IV coach Blue Rose.
It’s a secret between you and Sneaky. If you tell anyone, I’ll have to kill you.
Determination, like anything that kills weeds, is underrated. Not only is it great in the main game, but it’s also my staple in the equally underrated Pokken Switch game.
Other than that, he’s a tough killer – an owl archer. This is most like Assassin’s Creed or Skyrim in Pokémon, if my Khajiit was an owl and not a kitten.
19. Trevenant
Trevenant is the Batman of the Pokemon world.
He’s a scary guy who does bad things for the greater good.
I’m talking about the entry in his Pokédex, which says that Trevenant keeps catching people who want to harm his forest, in this forest.
It’s what would happen if climate change activists took up arms in a Pokémon world.
As I write this, I have to say that it was a missed opportunity that there was no one on President Rose’s team.
And Trevenant has a special place in my heart. The first Pokémon TCG tournament I won, I had to play a Trevenant deck in the finals, so I guess I’m a little biased.
18. Pyrohar
It’s a lion of fire.
The game geek made us wait until Generation VI to give us a real Pokémon Lion, but when he did, it was God!
Pyroar is the ultimate in the realm of dirt.
He is part of a team with Vespiquen and Aegislash.
The yellow and red moons, even though they remind me of my heartbreaking days at McDonald’s, are beautiful. And the overall design is elegant and absolutely impeccable.
The difference between the two sexes is also very much appreciated.
Despite everything Pyroar has, I don’t often hear it in conversations. Maybe it’s because I live under a rock, but he deserves more than what I see.
17. Saw
Sawbuck is another example of my love of flowers and herbs.
It’s also the first major example of my love for seasonal Pokémon.
I love it when Pokémon have different shapes based on unique criteria. I’m not just talking about the location or the sex, but something completely different.
Jigsaw has four uniforms for each season. To date, it is the only Pokémon with such a feature.
That alone makes it underrated in my eyes. If people want Game Freak to improve his design, Sawsbuck is the Pokémon to point to.
16. Rosarida
Roserada is the second example of my love for roses and flowers that influenced this list.
It’s a pink ninja.
Do you really need something more to devalue Pokémon?
It’s not talked about, yet it’s probably one of my top five Pokémon builders of all time, so it pains me that it’s disappearing so far under the radar.
15. Fly Screen
Flygon wasn’t supposed to compete with Salamance until the third generation.
Still, he dropped to the pavement. Which is a damn shame.
This is another real dragon, but it is much more unique in its design.
And, land/dragon is a great idea to hit.
With the overwhelming list of cool and powerful looking Pokémon dragons, Flygon doesn’t get much press. And I’d like to see that change.
14. Tyrantrop
Tyrantrum is now a mix of Monster Hunter, Bakugan and Pokémon.
It’s a fully animated T-rex that doesn’t even look like it belongs in Transformers or Digimon.
Such a diverse Pokémon, a dinosaur, deserves all the love in the world in my eyes.
But he loses points for being a flirt. I mean, how can it be a dragon? Are you serious?
13. Dragal
I mentioned Tirantrum, so I should say the same about Dragal. Only I don’t do it because I’m a hypocrite.
And the gif/dragon typography is so cool that it blinds me to any mistakes.
Dragalge is one of the coolest Pokémon I’ve ever seen. Like Flapple, it’s a stroke of genius that defies all expectations for the Dragons.
I wish Game Freak would go the extra mile and give it the same stats as Hydraigon.
But I can’t have everything I want in life, so I’ll continue here.
12. sand shavings
Now we’re talking about the real OH.
There are not many Generation I projects that are underestimated, given the importance of each project to the community.
That said, I wish Sandslash was more beloved.
He is not hated in any way. But a Wolverine hedgehog should be on par with your Charizard and Mewtwo in my opinion.
11. Honchcrow
Have you seen Honchcrow’s shiny sprite?
If not, you should be rubbing your eyes now.
Then go back and honestly tell me that Honchcrow is not the most underrated Pokémon of all time.
10. Warehouse
Another general I Mon, and a weed to boot!
Since then, Vileplume has been an essential part of all the games I play.
I can’t explain why I love it so much. I think it’s just a real Pokémon flower, but its simplicity and effectiveness is what I personified.
It shows that you don’t have to throw acid to make a good Pokémon, and should be used as an example more often.
9. Rapidash
If the electric Rapidash was on this list, you might have expected the regular Rapidash to be on it too.
Oddly enough, most of the top spots are dominated by old school guys. But I have something I need to do to people.
The cult of personality around Charizard and Blastoise means that all other Mons tend to be overlooked.
They are not hated, but there is not enough gratitude for everyone.
Rapidash is literally a stallion of fire.
Imagine riding one of these with Vespiken and Pyroar by your side in a fight against Aegislash. It’s a medieval fantasy Pokemon come to life.
Think of Rapidash as a source of imagination for Old Scrolls VII: Canto.
8. Agron
Finally, Pokémon is on this list for its stats.
If you’ve come here to find an unbiased list of the best-rated Pokémon, I’m sorry to disappoint you. I don’t want to waste time scouring Smogon for useless and toxic forums for non-competitive fighters.
But I will give you Aggron.
He has a base defense of 180. This is one of the highest scores of the entire series.
Everything else is crap, although 110 attacks are not to be sneezed at.
Because she outperforms even the tougher Mona defensively, she can achieve a surprisingly high level here. I hope this satisfies all the race purists who read this list and seek information.
7. Meganium
If you’ve been following my love of herbs and flowers, you should have seen this coming.
The meganium is probably the least popular starter of all time. And that really bothers me.
Is he good in a fight? No, but it’s your damn appetizer.
Unless you’re doing Nazloke, it’s not necessary.
It’s a flowering grass dinosaur with a golden heart. So show him some love and he’ll scream!
6. Dragapult
Dragapult was the first Pokémon I ever chased.
Yes, I have one, and yes, I am very biased about it.
Still, you can’t tell me Dragapult is very popular. It’s underrated.
It’s pretty competitive as a sweeper par excellence, meaning it can take on the big boys, and it just has an infinitely cool design.
I want to meet and kiss (or give a nudge) the designer who decided to make some kind of dragon that looks like a stealth bomber and shoots its kids like torpedoes.
What a raving lunatic! Einstein was crazy too.
5. Neuwern
If there’s one dragon type I like best in Dragapult, it’s Neuwern.
I love purple and black.
If you’ve read any of my other lists here, you already know that.
Neuwern is a pure black and purple dragon. It’s also a bat dragon with awesome boombox ears.
This is the only flyer you can bring around the region with a built-in stereo.
4. polished
I didn’t expect Politoed to be so high on my list when I started thinking about the concept, but here we are.
Why do you ask?
It’s a nightmare that brings instant prestige. And he looks so cute and happy.
A lock of curly hair convinces me of the whole aesthetic. But apparently no one else, given how little fanfare Politoed gets.
3. Venus
Aha! They knew I had to be controversial at some point.
Earlier I said on purpose that Blastaise and Sharizar suck the fanfare out of another Gen I Mons.
There is no clearer example than that of Venusaurus.
This guy is one of the original three, and yes, he’s the pot guy, so I’m biased ….. but come on!
The fact that Venusaur doesn’t appear in every conversation about Pokémon on GOAT is an insult. Especially considering it’s a dinosaur.
2. Torterra
Did you think I was done? Oh, no. Torterra is another herb that all fire purists should start enjoying.
I love the Inferno as much as anyone. But Torterra has a bonsai-like tree growing on his back.
Given the size of the thing, it’s actually a little bigger.
I’ve been watching Cobra Kai lately, so I have Mr. Mägi in mind, which may influence my decision. But I still maintain that Torterra is the most underrated and undervalued starter of all time.
It’s tight, but the crown takes out the Meganium.
1. Flaron
Flaron is worthless. Okay, I know you don’t have to rub it in.
It is superior to other revelations in every way. Jolteon is super fast, Vaporeon is a beast and super compatible (if you know it, you know it), and the guys that came after him are really competitive.
Flaron is the weakest of the bunch, but I still like him.
It’s pure old school fire, which is great, but listen to this.
Of all the Eeveelutions, this is the only one that really looks like a pet.
It’s so cute and fluffy. And I’m in love with all the shades of orange Game Freak used on her body.
If you look at him and don’t underestimate him because he’s so cute, then we can’t be friends.
