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?

Steelix with a curse set absolutely ruins gym leaders and the E4, but isn't the most fun for route battling because it's slow and Iron Tail's accuracy is meh.
Sunflora is never played because it's slow and squishy, but it's Sp. Atk is pretty good as well as it's movepool.
It's pretty late, but using Tyrogue isn't often done, so you could try that. I decided to evolve mine into Hitmonchan and run through Kanto with it. The 3 elemental punches make it fun to use.
