Pokemon that had lack/raw of anime apperances? lack of battles ? lack of gym/league battles?

Typhlosion. Usually fully evolved starters get television coverage, but Typhlosion had very minor roles. It’s also the only fully evolved starter (baring the Alola ones since they’re recent) to not have a movie appearance.
I'd have liked to see Jimmy and his Typhlosion to make an anime appearance and inspire Ash to evolve his Cyndaquil to Quilava in the SAME series. (Seriously, they even hint at Cyndaquil's evolution at the league, but nothing came out of it).
 
Ash's Kingler and Muk for sure. Those two Pokemon helped Ash a lot during the Indigo League with Kingler in particular (beginner's luck for the win). ☺️

Isn't that the opposite of what the OP asked?

Ralts, we only seen it battle once and never seen battling again since.
 
Meowth. He's only been in about 800+ episodes so far. So disappointing.

battle at a league.

Yes generation 2 could use a back up, hope for gen 8 and their megas.
But maybe they are planning it all right now in advance?
seriously they could make gen 8 like gen 6 but a much colder , magical, castle based region where generation 2, 4 and and 8 starters would fit in right and could have many good battles, they could also implement unused pokemon from generation 6

The same goeas for Delphox and Chesnaught.
And those are starters.
Torterra also had bad battle experiences under Ash and his rival, but was atleast shown and used more.

Both deserved more screen time especially they could have made them ash oponents at the league or show how they battle others better with strategy. (Psychic terrain)
Or they wait to use them in future generations animes and games after some buffs (rolling moves like steam roller and zing zap for chesnaught)?

But since we saw Blastoise in Sun and Moon, maybe they could do the same?

Hope that Decidueye, Incineroar and Primarina will get more screen time.

Weird Incineroar got its movie apperance but two thers not? very strange.

Would like more battles like of Charizard and Incineroar in that new movie.

  1. Klang - It did not even make an appearance in the main series anime.
  2. Basculin - Haven't really seen one since the BW series.
  3. Porygon2 - Needs no explanation. :(:cry:
  4. Porygon-Z - Needs no explanation. :(:cry:
  5. Eelektrik - It has had no major appearances yet. (n)
  6. Togetic - Never really been in the spotlight since the AG series.
Of course, there are still many more Pokémon that deserve focus in the anime; these are just the ones that crossed my mind at the time of writing this post.
 
Klang is the only pre gen 7, non-legendary not to appear in a the main series (well, besides the Porygon evolutions) and I’m not sure anyone cares.
 
Carracosta-

Cameron vs Marlon

when I sawa Sammurott vs Mantine I was glad but , really Carracosta should have gotten screentime there or a battle against Ash or some other of Camerons pokemon.


Hope that in Alola it could get a battle and more screen time.
Escpecially that it got nice moves like aqua jet and others.
Sturdy, solid rock or swift swim all would be great to show it in a good light.
Would make a good pokemon for a rival.

Only two episodes , not many battles.
