Re: Pokemon which aren't crappy,but which You have never used.

I personally love Miltank, it's like an Aggro Chansey.

One pokemon that always bothers me is Granbull, I've always wanted to try using it efficiently in a team, but every time I think about using it, I find a different pokemon that can easily do everything that Granbull does and more. At this point I kind of just want to build a team with Granbull in it just to prove that it can be used.
Another one that bothers me is Linoone, I've wanted to try implementing it in a team, but generally I pick Furret over Linoone, and they're practically counterparts except Furret has a better move pool (IMO).

Also last but not least, I feel like Swalot gets no credit what so ever. I love Swalot, it's my favorite poison type pokemon and although it's often laughed at I have purposely put it into a team and he does just fine. I have to be cautious when choosing him, but once he's out with at least 2 Stockpiles and a long run Toxic, he's hardly anything to laugh at.

Re: Pokemon which aren't crappy,but which You have never used.

Mamoswine, Rhyperior, Electivire, Torterra, Ferrothorn, Salamence, Weavile, Gliscor, Metagross, Genesect, Terrakion, Cobaltion, Houndoom, Chandelure, Darmanitan, Conkeldurr, Sawk, Mismagius, Gengar, Rotom, Pinsir, Crustle, Accelgor, Bisharp, Hydreigon.

Let's just say there are many Pokemon that aren't bad but have yet to use.
 
Re: Pokemon which aren't crappy,but which You have never used.

I have yet to use a Metagross. If anything, I think "I know I should raise one" but then I just can't be bothered. Also, while I've used a Garchomp in-game once (Japanese Platinum), I haven't used one competitively; although I know I probably should.
 
Re: Pokemon which aren't crappy,but which You have never used.

Empoleon (and its pre-evos). Hate it, hate it, HATE IT. Never used it, never will.
 
Re: Pokemon which aren't crappy,but which You have never used.

Bronzong, Lucario and Chandelure. I've always wanted to raise them, but I always get Pokémon of similar types earlier on.

Escavalier. Extremely high Attack, bulky defences and very low Speed, I'm sure it would work wonders in my Trick Room team, but Scizor just has a much better choice of moves. I might train one up at some point, though.
 
Re: Pokemon which aren't crappy,but which You have never used.

As crazy as it seems, and even though practically everybody has used it, I do not remember ever battling with a Tyrannitar. I dunno why. I've had the other Sand Streamer Hippowdon though. I've never used Excadrill either.

I've tried raising up a Garchomp once, but lost interest for some reason.
 
Re: Pokemon which aren't crappy,but which You have never used.

There are a bunch of pokemon I've never used, but I've started to fix that since last gen. I would normally stick with the same few pokemon and the version legendary, but I've swapped out some of my favorites and used some less appealing ones. I also try not to use legendaries now. I've never used Hippowdon, although it looks cool. Haven't used Pidove or Frillish yet, but I will after my current run through. I've never used a Dragonite during the main part of the story. I would try using something different in Emerald, but I'm in the middle of a Mudkip/Marshtomp/Swampert solo run.
 
Re: Pokemon which aren't crappy,but which You have never used.

Cresselia and Hitmontop. Never used them, never will thanks to the current VGC metagame.
 
Re: Pokemon which aren't crappy,but which You have never used.

Too many to list. I can say that I have never used a single pseudo-legendary Pokémon before.
 
Re: Pokemon which aren't crappy,but which You have never used.

Gengar, Mismagius, Rhyperior, Empoleon, Meganium, Venusaur, Arcanine, the Hitmons (lee, chan and top), Umbreon, Huntail, Gorebyss, Electivire, Walrein, and the list probably contains more than 100.

I usually use favorites, and that's the reason why I don't play online. =D
 
Re: Pokemon which aren't crappy,but which You have never used.

Any Pokemon you have to trade to evolve. Damn my non Pokemon playing friends!
 
Re: Pokemon which aren't crappy,but which You have never used.

Ferrothorn and Blissey. I don't like their designs so I'll probably never train one, no matter how useful they are.
Same goes for any pseudo-legendary released after Gen II, I find really bloated stat totals off-putting. I've only raised a Dragonite and Tyranitar because I was 10 and thought they were "kewl" at the time.

Exactly the same for me except I have tried to raise a Lucario, however I just could not utilise this Pokemon. I think of Lucario as one of those Pokemon you either get on really well with, or not.

I have always liked Bronzong and Chandelure and will probably train them in the near future, as I have seen some good sets especially for Chandelure.
 
Re: Pokemon which aren't crappy,but which You have never used.

I've never used Machamp or Alakazam even though I've been playing since the Red and Blue days.

And I've never used Umbreon, Politoed, Granbull, Scizor, Porygon-Z or any of the special Rotom forms.
 
Re: Pokemon which aren't crappy,but which You have never used.

Granbull and Porygon-Z come to mind. I actually wouldn't mind raising them, but like so many other Pokemon that I wouldn't mind using, I find others to use.
 
Re: Pokemon which aren't crappy,but which You have never used.

I've never used an Alakazam or a Gengar.
