>>ITT Underrated/under-appreciated, overlooked shitmons you must give a shot on at least one run

Ledian is one of my all time favourite underdogs

Starting a new run through AS, team so far is Mudkip and Poochyena; an early route shitmon I've always overlooked but decided I'd try out. I've bred the Poochyena so it's got
>Fire Fang
>Poison Fang
>Play Rough
+ HA for attack boosts when it evolves and coverage over Steel, Fairy and Dragon types.

Any other suggestions like this I should pick up on this run?

Who are your favourite and most trusted shitmon bros?

Farfetch'd is very respectable from Gen 6 onwards, as the Stick held item means Slash/Air Cutter/Night Slash all crit every time.

It's like Gen 1 speed crit mechanics all over again

Never knew this, must find a Farfetch'd with a stick — are they available with stick wild in XY?

Yeah, its a 5% chance or so I think but you can get them in the first few routes.

I've actually just started a mono flying run of Y and its replaced my starter as my defacto go to pokemon. I'm sure later in the game the power difference will start to become more evident, but its a lot of fun right now.

I used a Zangoose once. It tore up the Elite 4 with Swords Dance, Return, Shadow Ball and Brick Break.

I know this kind of defeats the purpose of the thread, but Zangoose has always looked like an edgy ewok to me — I'm also not keen on their 3D model

I'm sure I'll try one out some day though

I remember I found a hidden grotto Zangoose with Poison Boost in B2, and you can get a Toxic Orb fairly early in that game. Facade ended up one shotting most of Iris' team, it was wonderful.

Kek, I'll definitely have to try it some time then

For now though, not necessarily looking for strong mons, I've not gone with Pooch/Mightyena for it's strength

Any ORAS specific suggestions? Especially if they could be improved through breeding multiple egg moves and HA's on to them

Currently in Petalburg Woods, team is still Poochyena and Mudkip

Suggestion to liven the thread up — if you've got art of the pokémon you're posting about, then post it! Be nice to see some zangoose, delcatty and any more that come up

I got a Cubone in Lavender Town and spent a bit to get a thick club for it in FireRed. OHKOing everything now as Marowak. The only thing that can survive any hits are levitating Weezing.

You can breed Recover onto Chingling, and Chimecho learns Extrasensory at level 22.

It gets some great coverage moves via TM as well, it's just found too late in Hoenn to be considered by most.

I honestly can't think of much thats in ORAS thats not either on that list or not just too good to be in consideration for this kind of thing.

Lunatone? Cacturne? Armaldo?

Nice suggestions, I was just considering Lunatone/Solrock while I was out, especially as SM is on the way

Armaldo is an old favourite I used to use competitively against friends and siblings… Never tried Cacturne — and haven't tried Chimecho since major disappointment back in Gen 3

I'm not too fussy about limiting my team to Hoenn mons, if they're available in the wild then they're game

I used an Emolga. It was actually really good. It swept most of the game with acrobatics and thunderbolt. I still have it today and use it competitively. I hope he gets a mega

Shitmons can be fun to play with. I took the elemental-fang Poochyena you get at the start of the game - Ice Fang, in my case - all the way to the E4. Dustox can be great as a substitute Psychic-type, and Sandslash is a bigger tank than you'd think it could possibly be. In other generations, Technician Cinccino is amazing - a 5-hit Technician Silk Scarf Tail Slap has upwards of 270 BP. Butterfree saved my ass so many times in HGSS, and Refrigerate Hyper Voice Aurorus is GOAT. Sweeps teams with Rock Polish and EVs in HP, SpD, and SpA - so long as you aren't stupid enough to leave it in against a Steel or Fighting-type, it can and will win battles for you. Just bring a non-HA Talonflame or Charizard with you.

Normalize is useless and literally detrimental to it.
Wonder Skin is good but Cute Charm is better in-game. Status conditions are the least of Delcatty's problems.

Makes sense

The team I'm picturing right now is looking like

Swampert
Mightyena
Delcatty
Torkoal
Cacturne
Lunatone

All new to me

Considering using an Aurorus in my run of Y — for some reason my Wurmples always become Silcoon-Beautifly, even when I evolve them at night, so it's a while since I've used a Dustox

Nah, I'd go with that. None of them are massively powerful except maybe Swampert, but they're solid enough that you're not doing the equivalent of 6 Magikarps. You'll just have to play to the strengths of each one and thats how it should be.

I loved Ledian in Silver when it could use all punch moves, it was a "powerhouse" because I was too dumb to understand how coverage worked yet lucky enough to ride it anyway
Then the moment where Ledian falls behind hit, I would start with it, hit once, and change to another pokemon next turn because it did almost nothing
Got it in the hall of fame, no regrets

That has nothing to do with Wurmple's evolution. it's based on a hidden "personality stat" that also determines things like gender and patterns on Spinda.
