What older and/or very popular pokemon have you never, ever used in a playthrough?

I've been playing since Gen I and I've still never a Tyranitar.

never used a vaporeon before
despite using eeveelutions constantly, there's always a water type i want to use more. in gen 1 i usually end up using jolteon or flareon, and beyond that i end up going for espeon instead.

Definitely Scizor. I love Johto, I like his design, but I never used him in a playthrough or PVP. I'd count Absol too but I don't think Gen 3's really considered old here.

Pseudos are a bitch to use in normal playthroughs because of how late they're usually evolve. I don't think I've ever actually used a Garchomp, and that's one of the easier ones.

Funny enough I only used it in a water themed run, never on its own
There's so many water Pokémon that even in Gen 3 it's like the 5th or 6th pick when you really stop and think about it

Tyranitar obviously isn't meant to be used in a playthrough. It's post-game content

Started in Gen 1
Never used Onix/Steelix. Always liked them,I even bred a shiny one in gen 2 and sent it all the way up to PLA and evolved it as a lvl 5 with the idea to use it in gen 9. I was disappointed to find out that they were not in that gen at all, atleast so far.

Play Pokemon Prism. Larvitar is the starter and its line has earlier evo levels.

Prism fucking sucks though. OC story romhacks are always dogshit. Gaia comes close but even then that kinda sucks.

I've never used most of the Gen 1 waters. Blastoise, Vaporeon, Tentacruel, Lapras, Gyarados, and I think Slowbro and Seaking at one point have all been used. But I've never used a fossil mon, Dewgong, Starmie, Cloyster, Golduck, Seadra, Kingler, or Poliwrath.

I always found this stupid. They should've atleast made Larvitar available near the end of the Johto half of the game, maybe in the cave where you fight Silver before the league and make it a 5% encounter rate. Atleast they sort of fixed this problem in HGSS where you can find a Larvitar in the Johto Safari Zone.

any incredibly lategame pokemon when I already have my team of 6. platinum had the right idea making gible available early, or at least dratini somewhat mid-game.
but I'm never going to bother waiting for a larvitar, deino, or bagon.

Blastoise, Scizor, Dragonite, Machamp. I'm not sure if Machamp is as popular a choice as the other Kanto trade evolutions, but its the only one I've never used.

Basically any pokemon I can't catch in the early to mid game is one I don't use in playthroughs.

When I get closer towards the endgame, any pokemon I catch is going to lag behind my previously established team in level, EVs, and movesets.

Larvitar is also technically available in the Celedon Game Corner in Crystal, but is both expensive and not well placed.

It deeply annoys me that they fixed most of the bullshit Johto encounters in HGSS... except for Sneasel, which they actually made harder to obtain than it was in Crystal.

A friend and me both got Crystal on the 2DS a while back and played at about the same pace. Wound up getting myself a Larvitar and evolving it, had a lot of fun using it to beat Red + gimp 3 of my friend’s 6 Pokemon (Espeon, shiny odd egg Magmar, and fucking Xatu lmao)

You're not missing out. The combination of levelling slowly and struggling with easy fights makes Onix an utter fucking chore to use, and while a bit better Steelix is nonetheless a resource hog since it still doesn't fucking get recovery moves.
