Many pokemon, either due to movepool, stats, typing, or general suckiness overall have been shoved into the never-use tier of compettitive battling. I would like to know which pokemon in the NU tier you like/use the best, be it in compettitive or in-game. You do not have to had used it, but if you have, then go wild on facts about how awesome that pokemon is.

for example, I think Flareon is awesome, and it's too bad it is hated, especially now, since it can baton pass flame charge and curse boosts.
 
Meganium.
It has so much potential... but GF never gave it the right moves. =/
 
Sudowoodo.
Not exactly awful, but I've never seen it in a WiFi battle. But it's pretty decent with Rock Head and Wood Hammer, holding a Quick Claw. And it's got Earthquake, Stone Edge and Sucker Punch as well.
I love that tree-thing.
 
Surskit. based off pond skaters & has Unique Typing. its stats & evolution let it down though. doesn't stop me from using one with an evolite though =P
 
I love Buizel. Too bad it has a tiny movepool....
 
Ariados. I don't care how shitty it is; I wouldn't have beaten XD without it (physical Signal Beam FTW!). Plus, it has a pretty cool design. That always counts for something.
 
Ditto.

I never see that thing anywhere except when it has that ability "Eccentric"
 
Torkoal had a nice design, and was an enjoyable addition to my team when I first played Ruby and Sapphire. A nice, rare pokemon that unfortunately didn't fare well in competitive, mostly outclassed by Camerupt in trick room eruption abuse... but it still wins a place in my heart.

Azumarill. Not many people seems to know it's awesomeness...

Azumarill has actually seen some rising use lately, albeit mostly due to the fact that the circumstances around it have changed (counters the near-ubiquitous Excadrill well with Choiced Aqua Jet, the introduction of abuseable perma-rain, etc..)
 
  • Exeggutor. It was great once, can still kick ass if you play your cards right, and looks magnificent.
  • Jynx.
  • Kricketune, if only because DELELELE WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP
  • Munna and Musharna, for being groovy
  • Natu and Xatu. Natu is cute, and Will is one of my favorite characters.
  • Venomoth.
  • Dunsparce.
  • Skitty.

...but mostly Exeggutor and Dunsparce. One day, Exeggutor and Dunsparce will get the love they deserve, and everyone will use Exeggutor and Dunsparce until they're considered overpowered and not allowed in tournaments.
