20 Most Underrated Pokémon In History

17. Butterfree

While many players go without a powder attacker these days, Butterfree is the perfect status-affecting Pokémon. When you realise how important it is for your battles come down to more than just clubbing your opponents with powerful moves and hoping for one-hit KOs, Butterfree is definitely the right place to turn.

With its ability Compoundeyes, Butterfree's accuracy is increased by a whopping 30%. This makes moves like Sleep Powder or Stun Spore, which are traditionally less likely to hit than most attacks, a far more reliable option. With this ability and a reliable Speed stat from a beneficial nature, you could see your Butterfree poisoning and paralysing your enemy's team turn after turn and leaving them helpless against the attacks of the rest of your roster.

Support Pokémon are as important as big hitters in competitive battling, so look no further than Butterfree if you're late on that bandwagon.
