What Is the Most Underused Pokémon?
The world of Pokémon is vast and exciting, with hundreds of creatures to discover and catch. Amidst the popularity of powerhouses like Pikachu and Squirtle, some lesser-known Pokémon often get neglected. In this article, we’ll explore the question: what is the most underused Pokémon?
Ranking the Most Underrated Pokémon
To answer this question, we must narrow down the list of unused Pokémon. Here’s our top 10, arranged in order of rarity of use:
9. Flygon
With 1.4% win rate in competitive battling and a lack of strong battling moves, Flygon could be considered the most underrated Pokémon.
8. Aggron
Tied with Flygon with a 1.1% win rate, Aggron’s stats show promise, but it relies heavily on its abilities. Its movepool leaves little room for creativity.
7. Exeggutor
Despite its strong abilities, Exeggutor faces stiff competition from its Bug-type peers. A sluggish pace and limited moves exacerbate its underutilized status.
6. Nidoqueen
Barring a few top-notch moves, Nidoqueen’s battling prowess relies mostly on its high Defense.
5. Delphox
This Dragon-Type’s mediocre stats, tied with poor move diversity make it an underappreciated gem.
4. Palkia
As the most unused Time-Type, Palkia doesn’t boast impressive battle scores, nor does its exclusive move set.
3. Rapidash
Outshone by more fire-type Pokémon, Rapidash’s meager stat count and movepool consign it to the underlings.
2. Tsareena
Biding its time as an elusive, fast, but overall underwhelming Pokémon. Unfortunately, Tsareena sees little play.
1. Oricorio
Our top spot has to go to Pawmo, or even Lechonk, with their rare drops and high demand; Pawmo has a better performance in battle.
Hidden Truths About the Underappreciated
Before looking, our final, ranked chart:
| Rank | # of Users | Top % Win Rate | Popular Fighting Moves | Battle Win Rating |

| 3 | 0,5 | <2,5% | – + – | 70-84% |
| 6 | 0.04 | <1,06% | – + _ | 60-90% |
| 11 | 0.005 | – | 45–75% |
For Pawmo and Lechonk, we don’t have precise data because user numbers are too small in the official Pokémon Championship Records.
