Who are your underrated monsters

I’m playing SS, just finished getting the medicine for the light house and feeling a little bummed about my team options. So curious what Pokémon do people consider underrated in the game?

Just playing through with a team of Pokemon I wouldn’t usually use (apart from Growlithe/ Arcanine and Feraligatr, who I use every single time).

Ampheros is great defensively, but offense sucks until you get Discharge around level 34.

Weepingbell’s movepool sucks, and it sucks waiting for Gina to call with a leafstone out of random chance, although, you can just do the Pokeathlon a few times and wait till a saturday to buy it there.

Sudowoodo is pretty tough, especially against all the normal types there are at this stage, however, I am still waiting for him to get some good moves

Pigeotto is a bit weak, and doesn’t have the best defensive type coverage, but it can learn some interesting moves for coverage (U-Turn via TM is a personal favourite)
