20 Most Underrated Pokémon In History

2. Torterra

Since any of the members of the Grass, Fire and Water Type groups have such obviously publicised weaknesses thanks to the mechanics of the Starter Pokémon in each generation, anything any of these can do to get one over on their fierce rivals is always a massive boost.

It's a surprise, then, that Torterra is so underrated by so many players. Its dual Grass/Ground Type may not save it from being vulnerable to Fire Type attacks, but it does allow the Pokémon to deal massive damage back with STAB-boosted moves like Earthquake.

Torterra is also a real tank, able to withstand massive amounts of physical damage while also hugely powerful physical moves like the aforementioned Earthquake or Wood Hammer. Grass Types may regularly suffer from being a bit wishy-washy for many players' tastes, but those players have clearly never considered a Torterra for their team.
