Best underused pokemon?

This is basically as the name suggests who do you think are the best underused pokemon?
I think Scizor, Ampharos and Arcanine.
Is it me or have people forgotten about these guys?
Anyway who are, in your opinion the best underused pokemon?

Scizor and Arcanine are UU?

Well on topic, I think that Frolass, Banette, Milktank, Swellow, and Weezing are all good.
EDIT: also the big beaver. forgot name D=

Wow, everyone has their tiers mixed up. That or everyone is mistaking Scyther for Scizor.

Swellow, Bibarel, Froslass, Pinsir, and Pikachu are cool.

Lanturn.

It walls so much stuff. Zapdos, Starmie, Vaporeon, Milotic, Suicune, Porgyon 2, Jolteon, Magnezone, the list goes on for days. Basically anything that relies on BoltBeam gets walled.

Besides walling BoltBeamers, it can also be annoying and use ParaFusion with Discharge/ConfuseRay

It's even better now that Garchomp isn't around to cockblock it.

Pikachu.
It can even be used in ubers to an extent despite being only a UU.

Focus sash absol has sweeped SO many teams as a lead it isnt funny.
My sister has an Absol that knows Flamethrower, Thundershock, Hydro pump and Crunch (or similar powerful moves of such diversity, not 100% sure)
That thing pwned.

I'm as far away from being competitive when it comes to pokemon, but I always had a sneaking suspicion that Lanturn was highly underrated.

Stamping your library books.
Ampharos or Dodrio.
What can Ampharos even do? His base SpAtk is great, but his movepool is crap.

I can tell.

Also, Absol can't learn Hydro Pump or Thundershock. Did you mean Water Pulse and Thunder Bolt? (Even then, that set is lame.)

I only have him on Pokemon Colosseum, and he is one of my best Pokemon that isn't a shadow one.
However, I am basing him as a replacement to Slugma so :laugh:.

I was always under the impression that Hypno was good in UnderUsed.
Other than that, Dodrio, Lanturn, and Absol are all really good.

Absol is pretty good, there was a set which had Rock Smash as a 2HKO on Tyranitar.

Porygon2, i'm not sure if thats UU, but I'm pretty sure its BL.

Lol, articuno even fails in UU :laugh:

It's really only good as a toxic staller and gets insta ***** by things like Aggron and Bastidon(and Toxicroak and Hitmontop and Hitmonlee and Steelix and well, pretty much every standard in UU)

I never thought I'd see the day when a legendary pokemon might actually fall to the NU tier.

Thats because nintendo screwed them over by giving the birds all the same stats and the special split and more rock types getting added and much more
