20 Most Underrated Pokémon In History

3. Yanmega

Around the release of Diamond & Pearl, Yanmega became tremendously popular with many battlers. The strategy of sending one that carries Speed Boost into battle caused so many problems for so many players, as within just a few turns Yanmega could be too quick for virtually anything to touch it.

Recently, however, this isn't such a common choice. This is a really strange phenomenon, as the strategy is still as effective today as it ever was. Yanmega's Special Attack is also deadly, meaning that attacks like Bug Buzz are supremely dangerous.

Given that Psychic and Dark Types have always been popular and that these are getting more adept at dealing with assaults from Ghost and Fighting Types, coming in with a fast Bug that can hit hard is still a great way to catch these trainers off guard.

There aren't many surprises left in Pokémon these days, but Bug Types are still underrated by so many foolish players.
