Ariados has a poor BST but it has enough going for it that you'd have a reason to use it in NU.
Sudowoodo is useable, and its BSTs aren't too bad. I mean there's nothing in particular setting it apart other than a recoil-less non-stab wood hammer, but it's useable.
Jumpluff is still an amazing support mon and is one of Groudon's besties, being able to use helping hand and sleep bitches without getting shit on by Groudon's own earthquakes.
Octillery has Moody, which while banned is still pretty damn broken. It's also the one with the highest BST to back up a decent moveset.
Furret, Girafarig and Stantler are at the very least not hopeless tier like Ledian, Delibird, Magcargo or Corsola. And of those, Magcargo at least has a moveset - it just has two crippling x4 weaknesses and poor speed.
I don't even know why I'm defending these mons actually. I mean I personally think that Johto offered the worst dex out of all gens so far.
