>Aegislash was intended to be a physical attacker
>Is frequently used as a special attacker because its special attack is equal to its physical and the game is full of counterplay to physical attackers like Intimidate and Burn
>Aromatisse was intended to be a premiere Trick Room setter with its low speed and ability that blocks Taunt and Encore
>Rarely if ever got used because it has little to no offensive presence or utility other than TR setting, therefore getting ignored in favor of TR users who aren't dead weight after 1 turn
>Malamar was intended to use Topsy Turvy to counter mons who set up
>Never gets used because it's too slow and frail to get off a Topsy Turvy in front of a mon who hasn't set up, let alone one who has.
Any other Pokemon who were clearly designed for a certain role but were never used for it?
