Mr. Mime's just okay, but in Gen. II, Snorlax is out and out the best Pokemon of the bunch, if he's raised right.

Man I haven't played or seen hardly anything to do with Pokemon in forever, so reading through this thread is bringing back memories

[El Hijo De Slapnuts]

Snorlax,I had one in my yellow version that knew....
-Body Slam
-Psychic
-Metronome
-Surf
...and it whipped tail

Sudowoodo. Always been one of my favorites, and still is.

I also like Pelliper and Wailord.

Togepi/Togetic/etc.

Thing is a MONSTER against Dark/Ghost types with Extrasensory.

[laughytaffy]

Omastar.

[Fiddleford H. McGucket]

Gardevoir/The Gardevoir line

If you're patient enough, and have the time/Money to invest in Sp ATK Raising Items.....You can turn an already powerful and fast pokemon into a G1-level psychic

[Chronos]

Love me some Spoink/Grumpig. Dance piggy dance!

Also, I adore Vulpix/Ninetales. Pokémon is horribly devoid of Fire types, while having WAY TOO MANY overpowered Water types.

The only time someone in my elementary school said anything about Snorlax, it was for the fact that his attack "Fissure" (which my young self thought was fisher) was something he put over as the most awesome attack ever.

Gardevoir also... pretty much a really usefull psychic Pokemon who may have have a friend to trade w/ to get an Alakazam. As it stands though... my Alakazam is a beast now. I gave him Psychic, Ghost Ball, Thundershock (I think thats the one, been awehile) and whatever the grass type attack they can learn is also. He's can pretty much destroy almost any type in like one hit.

Psyduck was the epitome of awesome

Slightly off topic but the Tentacruel sprite in the OP's avatar is my fav sprite ever, absolutely love it. The Yellow version has Tentacruel shrugging too. King Tentacruel.

The shrugging Tentacruel is from the Japanese Gen I games (Red and Green). It's Yellow sprite looks like it's trying to do the Orton pose.

But I agree, it's badass. ;D

Ah true, true. I guess this is why I should actually check things before talking about them. Still, Tentacruel having the shrugging sprite in R/G is epic, since most of the ones in R/G are awful. (Such as the following)

Name any Pokemon who you think are underrated.

Two that come to mind is Staryu and Starmie. They're so awesome.

Starmie is a lot of things. Underrated is not one of them. Starmie is one of the most valued Pokemon in competition. It can learn Surf, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, & Psychic along with Recover, Rapid Spin, & Confuse Ray. With its high base Speed & Special Attack, it can destroy entire teams with ease.

Now Xatu is underrated. It's a great support Pokemon.

[noleafclover1980]

Also one of my favs, cause he's pretty much the only rare "event" type Pokemon I have (get him w/ the pre-order of Pokemon Coloseum on GC)



Jirachi... cause he's just so damn cute. Plus Psychic/Steel is rare combo.

Well yeah, but I was really referring to just general popularity, not "underused" (although this thread can be used for that too). From every Pokemon fan and player I've encountered over the years, not one of them really like Starmie. Read it's bio, it's so awesome.
