We all love Pokemon, right? And let's not tiptoe around the fact that....well....not
all Pokemon are uh...hatched equally. There are the powerful, tanky, nukey, all-around
awesome ones, and.....there's Magikarp. But then we have the 90% of Pokemon in the middle
of the bell curve who are neither legendary nor useless, and there are some real gems
in there that go largely overlooked unless they're bffs with Ash Ketchum.
So here are my Top 5 most Under-rated Pokemon:
Number 5 - miltank - Sure, she's a cow and all. But she's a FAST cow - her base speed
is 100. For reference, compare that to Arcanine's base speed of 95. Also note that I refer to
her exclusively with a female pronoun - that's right, there are NO male Miltanks. So...how
do they....reproduce? That's a question for another day. All we care about is her base
stat total of 490, and the fact that she can, somewhat inexplicably, learn the move Surf.
Plus, she's only got ONE weakness, fighting types - so don't write her off just yet.
Number 4: togekiss - Yup, Togepi's final evolution, and the only dual-type Pokemon to have Fairy
as a primary type. That, plus the fact that...well....it looks like this means that it's not terribly
indimidating. But, it has a base stat total of 545, AND is the single Pokemon that learns
the most moves that never miss, regardless of the user's accuracy or the foe's evasivness:
Aura Sphere, Shock Wave, Swift, Aerial Ace, and Magical Leaf. So it's a super useful Pokemon
to have around when you're facing off against those annoying Sand Attacks the NPCs are so
fond of.
The second most underrated pokemon is Absol - Before the 2003 Pokemon film Jirachi: Wish
Maker, Absol was around, but it didn't really get too much credit. Yet it's got the highest
base Attack of any non-legendary non-evolved Pokemon, AND is one of the Pokemon with a
Mega Evolution, upping its Attack Special Attack, and Speed, and making it super fast
and nukey.
And my number 1 most underrated Pokemon is Bisharp. It's a dual-type Dark/Steel Pokemon
(and happens to be the ONLY pokemon besides its pre-evolution that has that type combination),
and has a base stat total of 490 - not the best in terms of pure stats, but it's resistant
to a whopping 9 types - Normal, flying, rock, ghost, steel, grass, ice, dragon, and dark,
and completely immune to both poison and psychic. Additionally, Bisharp and Pawniard are the
only Pokemon that can have Defiant as a non-hidden ability, and they really come into play against
a Pokemon using Defog. Bisharp gets a free attack boost from this move, and gets a same
type attack bonus to Pursuit, allowing it to trap a Pokemon trying to withdraw and potentially
KO it in one hit.
Well, those were the five Pokemon that I think are most underrated - why don't you guys leave

they deserve - and be sure to subscribe and like this video if you wanna see more awesome
