10 Underused Pokémon You're TOTALLY Wrong About

2. Ludicolo

Possibly the happiest Pokémon in existence, Ludicolo would be a great addition to a team for the morale boost alone. However, as happy as this duck Pokémon would seem, it's hiding some pretty big vulnerabilities. With some incredibly low base stats and a vulnerability to Bug, Flying and Poison-type moves, it's no surprise why this Pokémon is being avoided.

Although it would seem Ludicolo is the perfect candidate for a trip to an eternity in storage, it actually has a ridiculous ability that makes fighting it incredibly frustrating.

The ability Rain Dish restores HP whenever it's raining, and thanks to the move Rain Dance, it's always raining. Ludicolo also has a healthy special defence stat at 100, and the chance to learn HP absorbing moves.

Although it's not an all-round powerhouse like most of the Water-types from its generation, Ludicolo has the potential to outlast opponents in long, time-consuming battles.
