With over 1000 Pokémon as of Scarlet and Violet, it's no surprise that a few fade into the background for most of the fanbase. Today with the help of Peter and Shannon from @DeliciousJames, we'll be highlighting some of the franchise's more underappreciated Pokémon!

I LOVE PYUKUMUKU !!!!!!!!!!!!
How dare u.
I fucking love Shiinotic
Raichu is a world champion used to win the 2016 world championships
I hear so many poeple say pikachu is better at sweeping than raichu
But this is only true if
A - the entire enemy team is paralyzed, slowed by sticky web, or pikachu has its speed boosted
And
B - the entire enemy team doesn't have a single priority move
Raichus higher bulk and speed matters a whole lot when going for a sweep. Furthermore, if pikachu loses its light ball (knock off, thief, trick), it's damage becomes immediately pitiful. Raichu will never have its damage drop unless you're running choice specs - but in that case, it's less for a sweep and more for wall breaking. Raichu not having to run light ball allows it to be more consistent and splashable on teams, able to fit into more roles.
I was thinking the same thing. Raichu overall has much better natural stats and a free item slot. That and Pikachu refused to evolve it wasn't Ash that didn't let it
I wish Raichu could also use Light Ball for a 1.5x boost.
The flaw with Light Ball is that, as mentioned, Pikachu is kind of bad outside of very niche situations, where its insane damage can shine without it getting smacked in return. Raichu's main issue, conversely, is that it has good speed and not absolute paper thin survivability, but its damage is extremely low even compared to its fellow Gen 1 Electric types (Jolteon just casually having higher stats in every category besides Attack, being a lot faster and naturally doing ~14% more damage with special attacks at max investment).
If Light Ball could be used on Raichu, then it would be a win for both of them. Light Ball could be utilized outside of pretty much a gimmick, and Raichu wouldn't be dogwater in competitive. Or they could at least boost Pikachu's base Speed to 120, and Raichu's Speed to 130. Pikachu's whole thing is its Speed, yet it loses to Jynx and freaking _Lumineon_ in a race.
I absolutely love Beheeyem. Its such an easy design for psychic but they did it very well.
3:51: From Pokémon Stadium 1 all the way up to Battle Revolution, if you somehow manage to get Surf onto a Raichu, it uses its tail as the surfboard. ^^
The thumbnail already speaks to me. Beheeyem is one of my favourite pokemon ever, alongside Sigilyph and Spinda. I have some very strange tastes.
yep, i find all three of those to be great and definitely up there on my list, spinda especially
another less popular pick which is among my favorites would be cacturne, which i feel is heavily underappreciated and needs more love, or the pumpkaboo line, which i feel always gets overshadowed by the other version exclusive ghost grass line from x and y, the trevenant line
another one close to my heart is duosion which was the first pokemon i ever saw in the games excluding zekrom, so it's also pretty high (reuniclus is awesome too)
(also no way it's the metal guy)
spinda is so awesome! love to see it :)
@@ashleyisanidiot Reuniclus was my favourite for years, Pokepark 2 contributed heavily to that. That game was amazing, needs more love.
I've alwawys pledged my loyalty to Maractus but I do quite respect Cacturne
Sigilyph is peak.
I love Beheeyem, its design encapsulates loads of different types of 1950s paranoia, and it hits like a truck.
I used to use it in Gen 6 with an Assault Vest and it would hit so hard that people thought it was Specs and switched out into something that resists that one move.
What are you doing, Step Pyukumuku?
Bruh
Step Pyukumuku, I'm stuck in the whirlpool!
And here comes the giant fist !!
the way you three played off each other was really nice here
I think another Pokemon that is underappreciated is Granbull, I mean, it was one of the fairies before the Fairy Type even existed. Plus it's actually pretty good, with access to the elemental bites, and STAB return and 120 base attack?? Yeah, that's a powerhouse if I ever saw one.
it's just a shame how power creep was not kind to granbull, getting the fairy type was nice...but not even that could save the poor pooch
@@bulborb8756 I mean, I used a Granbull in Crystal, it was genuine good.
Since you guys brought up Raichu, I just wanted to share a story when I last played Pokemon Red on an emulator: one of the many glitches in the first two games the player can exploit is evolving a Pokemon that requires a stone, by leveling up a different Pokemon. I remember I was in the Team Rocket hideout, fighting with a Pikachu that went down, so I threw out a Growlithe that leveled up after the battle. What I didn't expect was Pikachu to then start evolving, which I permitted not knowing this was indeed a bug in the game. I was too perplexed why this was happening. I was immediately grateful for the extra stat buffs, but then realized I missed out on Pikachu finishing up it's level up moves. The Thunder Punch TM came in the clutch though.
Thunder Punch TM? Where did you get such a thing in Red?
@@robertlupa8273 whoops, my bad. Must have been Thunderbolt.
Love that Gorebyss was on here, because Huntail is one of my top 5 favorite pokemon. My #1 is Loudred, so I’m _definitely_ in the camp of giving underappreciated mons a second look now and then haha. This was a really good list that broke away from the typical few people usually talk about!
A fairly unpopular mon I like is Watchog. It's grumpy in a cute way, but people don't realise it's yellow body highlights glow! Explaining why it gains access to Flash/Confuse Ray etc.
As much as I’ve hated on Watchog in the past, it does have a certain charm to it!
I like watchog solely because it looks like goldy the gopher
Klang needs to be appreciated
All my gear boys are awesome.
Klinklang deserves better. Only EIGHT physical moves in its SwSh movepool. Mostly normal with ONE dark. Signature steel move has 85 accuracy.
Pure steel is rare, and I really like the "mechanical" design. It's far from the ugliest or laziest, and its stats are pretty okay. Stat total of 520, 100 base Attack, and 90 base Speed. A former signature move Shift Gear gives +1 Attack and +2 Speed, essentially giving Rayquaza's Attack combined with Deoxys-Nyoom's Speed. The gears got did dirty
You forgot to mention the fact that Gumshoos unintentionally looks like a certain president we don't like to talk about.
I don't care that they denied the design inspiration. That design was 100% intentional.
@@GlacierStripez "Make Alola great again!"
I like him.
I also made a ferret OC and gave a sketch to my mom, she colored him like a Gumshoos and that amused me.
it did lead to an entertaining joke for a while
“a moment of silence”
*plays music* 6:46
Fun fact that makes Gumshoos and the things you said about it make even more sense: "gumshoe" literally means "detective"
lanturn is one of my favorite unappreciated mons! no one talks about how cool it is :)
It's also actually pretty good! Just too late to be useful
i been appreciating the under appreciated, my unironic favorite pokemon has always been heatmor
Beheyeem is such a weird Pokémon. I mean, i used one in my team on my first playthrough. And, i guess like everyone else, i always remember the first team i sued in each game the most. But every time i try toracll my team always forget him. Its like "I pick Oshawott as my starter, then i got Sawk, then Swaddle, Sandile, Litwick and... Klink ?"
This was so chaotic and I’m here for it
Mightyena is a Pokémon that I see no love for whatsoever, I know he’s not the best Pokémon ever, but I’d say he’s definitely underappreciated!
Mightyena saved my tail in the Tate and Liza fight. He'll always have a place in my Hoenn teams.
Mightyena is really popular with furries who grew up playing gen 3. It has a disproportionate amount of fanart on deviantart
i just discovered these channel im definitely binging everyone’s videos, it’s full whimsy and unseriousness but still full of passion that i really missed from Poketubers im excited to eat it all up along with DeliciousJames vids!
Fun fact “gumshoe” is also slang for detective 😮
3:06 i thought it was Ash's Pikachu's wish to not evolve? In the original Anime when Ash tried to used a Thunderstone on his Pikachu, Pikachu denied and Slapped his hand away.
And then made Pikachu able to Gmax, therefore showing it can't evolve
Speaking of overlooked older siblings, Peyton Manning, the Hall of Fame quarterback and biggest commercial pitchman athlete since Michael Jordan has an older brother, Cooper, who had a medical condition in college that kept him from playing competitive football
Gorebyss feels like the closest thing we could get to a pokemon actually existing in our world. And thats what i call scary
2nd evolutions are every often frogot upon. After knowing swadloon is a bug wrapping itself in a blanket i love that guy
I always thought Shiinotic was a Gen 8 Pokemon because of that town in SS (Ballonlea). That was the first place I saw it too.
Hmm. *porygon?*
i will never forget pyukumuku, it's part of my cute lil' fellas trio, the other two being snom and pincurchin
Beheeyem also evolves at level 42. Which is also a reference to Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy.
Even with recency bias, I don't see anyone talk about Lokix. That's wild to me, since the whole extra switchblade-y set of legs is insanely cool, and it's also a good first impression user.
Beheeyem is my fave Pokémon of all time and Pyukumuku is up there too! I love Shiinotic too it’s so creepy and weird it really fits the creepy side of fairies.
Gorebyss and Huntail are pretty awesome! Too bad they are so difficult to get, and use.
I did a playthrough with a Shiinotic once. Then I battled my friend with it. He found it so infuriating and he needed several Pokémon just to take it down. Strength Sap is a helluva drug.
One of the things I rlly like on the pokemon anime/movies is that the trainers have non meta pokemon and still kick ass, not everyone have a Garchomp and swarm of Beedrills is terrifying even if you have a Charizard with you.
Actually Ash caries thunderstone for few seasons just to keep Pikachus options opened.
Poor Raichu. As if being overshadowed by the mascot of the biggest multimedia franchise in the world was already bad enough. He is also overshadowed by his baby form Alola form all 9 Pika Clones and Mimikyu and all unique forms of Pikachu such as all 5 Cosplay Pikachu Pikachu's Gigantamax form and more
I've had the same experience with Amoonguss. It's a giant tank with okay defenses 70 Def and 80 SpDef in base stats, but 114 HP stats. Using an 85 SpA stats with something like Giga Drain and then Toxic makes it hard to deal with this shroom, almost requiring a OHKO.
0:14 never forget 2nd shiny
The Pyukumuku segment was pea comedy 🤣
I do really like pyukumuku and shiinotic.
For pyukumyuku it doesnt learn a single attaking move besides counter which is such as funny
And I love shiinotic for how incredibly creepy it is. That is my favourite aspect about a lot of fairy types. The open parallels to real world fey stories really influences it to make the fairy type tied in first with ice as my favourite.
Oh I adore pyukumuku! Also has a fantastic shiny. I never knew how to use it in battle but I always thought he was a cute little guy. I had an orphan sock back in the day that I made a pyukumuku plush out of since I thought it’d be easy
I really like klefki and luvdisc. Like, I'm not going to pretend that they're good competitively, but I think they're great examples of a kind of "elegantly simple" visual design. They're cute and appealing despite there not being a lot of different parts to look at!
I get weird looks because yes, I love Arcanine, Feraligatr, Corviknight and Boltund…
But I love Smeargle and Kecleon and Cramorant just as much, if not maybe more and I’ll never not show them the undying love they deserve. And no, I don’t play competitively. I just love everything about what they are, stats or otherwise.
My favorite Pokémon is Stoutland, not sure if it’s underapretiated since it’s the star of the black and white 1 speedruns, but still I feel like people always overlook my sweet little Yorkshire
I've always liked Gorebyss and Huntail ever since I saw them in Emerald as a kid. Them being exclusively trade evolutions helped add some mystic qualities to them, since I never had a link cable, and them being evolutions to Clamperl also added to their charm since me and my siblings all loved finding Clamperls in the underwater areas.
Nowadays, I wish that they had ways to stand out more from the wave of mono-Water mons that have been piling up in Pokemon. Shell Smash was a good start, but they still ended up ultimately outclassed by Cloyster and Blastoise, who have more Speed, better overall defenses, and in Cloyster's case an ability and moveset combo that really let it be a team sweeping menace.
With Clamperl not only evolving with its exclusive items, but also getting actual stat boosts from holding them - unlike a lot of other items specific to single evolution lines (Electrizer, Magmarizer, Protecter, etc) - one idea I had was to let those items boost the evolutions as well, just to a lesser extent. Deep Sea Scale could boost Gorebyss's Sp. Atk by 1.5x, while Deep Sea Tooth could boost Huntail's Attack by 1.5x (I never understood why Deep Sea Tooth, the item that evolves Clamperl into its physical attacking counterpart, boosts its _Sp. Atk_ while Deep Sea Scale boosts _Sp. Def,_ which is the exact same between both evolutions, but it's whatever). That way, Gorebyss at max Sp. Atk investment could have Sp. Atk equal to ~195 base Sp. Atk, and Huntail at max Attack investment could have Attack equal to ~180 base Attack. This would allow them to put serious hurt in with both Swift Swim under rain and especially after a Shell Smash, but would be balanced by them still being naturally slow and being very susceptible to moves like Knock Off and Trick.
Came from the deliciousjames video, was not disappoined!
Beheeyem is my favorite Gen 5 Pokémon! I love the more traditional alien style as opposed to something like Deoxys.
Druddigon is cool AF. One of the few pokemon that improved with the 3D models, and is actually not terrible for a pokemon that doesn't evolve. Unfortunately as a dragon type it does have pretty much all the Psuedo legends to contend with as well as other solid dragons like Haxorus and Flygon, so it getting overlooked is no real surprise.
SKITTY AND DELCATTY MENTIONED. 12:50
SKITTY IS MY FAVOUTIE!
Give my Mudbray some love everyone!
Pyukumuku used Pull My Finger!
I really love simisear, warmadam trash cloak and swoobat ❤
It's all fun and games until you see Gorebyss activate Swift Swim
I’ve always liked Beheeyem. One of my favorite Psychic types.
I feel that Cubone and Marowak are underappreciated. Aside from the Lavender town stuff in Gen 1, there hasn't been too much with either.
Beheeyem didn't get its Super Mystery Dungeon mention here. Are we forgetting everything they did to the player lol
3:52 That's called Alolan Raichu.
I was considering using a Beeyehem next time I play BW or it's sequel. In general I hope to have the opportunity to try move unused Pokémon in the future
I really like Shiinotic,Gorebyss and Alolan Raichu is a force to be reckon with
Pyukumuku is indeed my favourite on this list, it is very friend shaped and at the pinnacle of pokemon design
I know this was probably a joke, but to anyone who doesn't know, in season 1 (I'm pretty sure it was when they lost against Surge's Raichu) Ash wanted to evolve Pikachu, but he didn't, so that's why
Dude I used to play Pokemon Brick Bronze (it’s a Pokemon fangame) on Roblox and and the 3rd Gym Leader’s Gorbis always made me cry.
It’s crazy to me that most Pokemon on this video are probably less popular than Trubbish, the trash bag Pokemon people used to hate only for people now defending it by calling it “underrated”.
If Trubbish is “underrated” and you are a Pokémon that’s less popular than that, then you truly are overlooked by most people.
For me its Eelektross. One of my favorite gen 5 pokemon.
Raichu is my favorite Pokémon ever! I consider it to be my partner Pokémon
I will say, in VGC (the official pokemon tournament) Raichu is a world champion! It’s actually been solid as a support pokemon.
I might've used Beheeyem if Psychic types didn't have it tough in Unova (or most regions for that matter, because the evil teams just _loooove_ their Dark types). It learns Calm Mind by level up, which is a post-game TM in BW. The only other Gen 5 Pokemon that get it via level up are Woobat (which kinda sucks without its hidden ability Simple), Mienfoo (which is a physical attacker) and Muuna (which is actually pretty good and gets it earlier than Elgyem). This means Beheeyem is the 2nd best Calm Minder in Unova, which considering how small the pool is, it's no small feat.
In fact, I wouldn't mind using any of the Pokemon listed in the video, but they're all either just a bit too "mid", hard to get or both (Gorebyss q_q). The only exception is Raichu, which is very much good and decently available in-game.
When Pyukumuku was revealed I fell in love. Then I caught one in my Sun playthrough planning to put it on the team. Then I realized it doesn't learn moves that are useful in a regular playthrough, and my heart was broken 🥺
BEHEEYEM GANG! RISE UP!
May our psychics be strong!
And may our Focus Blasts hit!
(We are so fucking frail and slow. If that shit misses we don’t get to attack again)
Glad I'm not the only one saying this, but will also chime in that Beheeyem is already one of my favorite pokemon. 😊 Such a cool design! I love his little coat lol.
I love Lunatone. underrated along with solrock
how could you not see the appeal of pyukumuku :( round guy and i need that stress ball asap
Raichu is my favorite pokémon. I have a really good one that I've been using in competitive for a while. He's not the best pokémon but he wins.
armaldo is super underrated and underappreciated
I just replayed SoulSilver with Furret, Lugia, Feralgatr, Noctowl, Nidoking, and my overall favorite Ledyba. It was a rollicking love fest of mediocrity :)
I LOVE Beeheyem! I have one in White. She's amazing.
i never used gorebyss but i did used huntail on my bdsp playthrough and he was a beast
Personal favorite normal type that is underrated is Audino i love the pokemon in draft
Gorbyss and Huntail should have been Water/Dark and Water/Psychic
I think the reverse. Gorbyss should be the Psychic one and Huntail should be the Dark one.
@@TheFirstCurse1 I mean yeah that works, but there's fun in them being visually opposite
love to see some beheeyem appreciation. hes so cute.
I will forever appreciate Gumshoos as the Pokemon that finally taught me to value the stats each Pokemon comes with. I first looked at it and thought "Ooh, 110 Attack? That looks high!" Only to later realize that that 110 Attack was merely "good" by Pokemon standards. (Everything else about Gumshoos' statspread is trash. They even removed Hyper Fang from its learnset in Gen 9, meaning he didn't even get a good Strong Jaw boosted STAB move anymore)
i just got legends arceus a week ago
I CANT BELIVE HOW MUCH I WAS STARVING MYSELF FROM
MY BROTHER WAS RIGHT WHEN HE SAID "you could have gotten legends arceus" WHEN I GOT A BRILLIANT DIAMOND
Yes! Justice for my favourite Pokemon Raichu 🤍
i need a part two on my desk by yesterday!!!
(and u should add boltund to the list)
“ANY POST UNOVA POKÉMON GAME” let’s go we all hate the switch garbage
I've used Raichu in multiple playthroughs. Always preferred it over Pikachu
I’ve always loved the Beheeyem line. They’re cute lil aliens
I have always held the deepest respect for Raichu. I would never attempt Ash's Pikachu antics.
noooo not the taylor swift slander 😭😭😭 lol
Wigglytuff underrated
I started to love Beheeyem
I LOVE RAICHU SM HES AMAZING
2:53 HEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLL YEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yessss i love raichu sm. i like it better than pikachu tbh
I unironically love the zubat line
I love Zubat but don't like it's evolutions.
Poor Raichu. :(
Gorebyss is the one pokémon I'd redesign to make look as cool as it should be. That sea-shell bra is NOT HELPING
My boy Shiinotic
I think i have more apprefiation for behheeyem guy
