20 Most Underrated Pokémon In History

19. Ambipom

So few purely Normal Type Pokémon ever seem to get employed in battling. Perhaps the perception of creatures like Rattata and Aipom is such that no one views them as anything more than a frustrating menace to progress in the early stages of each new game?

Whatever the reason, this is considerable folly. As Ambipom demonstrates, a strict Normal Type Pokémon can be a formidable battler. If nothing else, the fact that its only weakness is to Fighting Type moves is an enormous benefit for competitive players.

On top of this, Ambipom provides exceptional speed and a strong physical attacking stat to boost this. Ambipom is a quick striker, perfect for when you're finding yourself overpowered by a powder attacker or frustrated by a tank.

Sometimes just getting hits on your opponents team can provide just enough of an opportunity to turn the tide of battle, and Ambipom is perfect for that!
