20 Severely Underrated Pokémon That Deserve A Second Chance

9. Aurorus

Aurorus is a bit of a beast when it comes to HP, making it very difficult to score a one-hit KO even with some moves that would be deemed 'Super Effective'. This will often mean that it doesn't suffer for being a tad slower than most, and allows it to retaliate with some remarkably powerful Ice type moves.

Its ability is also intriguing, as Refrigerate increases the power of Normal type moves by 30% and turns them into Ice type moves instead. As a result, a powerful Normal type move like Take Down or Hyper Beam suddenly becomes an Ice type that, with Refrigerate and the STAB, will deal 180% of its usual damage.

Good luck surviving that, Dragons!

Suggested Moveset:
Hyper Beam
Take Down
Ancient Power
Ice Beam
