View Answers

Sableye
41 (27.0%)

Ampharos
48 (31.6%)

Dodrio
13 (8.6%)

Flareon
50 (32.9%)

Aaand once again we rotate back to Under-Used Pokemon. We've got some fan-favorites on the poll this week, including Sableye, the annoying Ghost with no weaknesses; Ampharos, the wool-less sheep; Dodrio, one of the faster physical sweepers in UU; and Flareon, the Eevee evolution with the highest Atk and the world's worst movepool. Enjoy. ^^

	Think I'm going to go for Ammy, even though Sableye's one of my Gen III favourites :D Always wanted to make a Trick Room team. (Reply to this)

	AMPHAROS. (Reply to this)

	I like all of them, but the vote goes to Dodrio. Flying types have always been hard for me to use. (Reply to this)

	Your comments made me LOL so hard, especially about Flareon. I never liked using the poor thing. Such a bad movepool... (Reply to this)(Thread)

	cactuarjoe 2008-06-22 07:33 pm UTC (link)
	Heheh, glad I could amuse. ^^ And yeah, Flareon really got screwed over. No Flare Blitz? What were they thinking? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	This is clearly one of those instances where GameFreak totally fucked with their demographic's minds. This makes my "what, no Avalanche for Quagsire?" beef seem trifling. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Ugh, yeah. So many other Pokemon benefited from the physical/special move split BUT NOPE NOT FLAREON! I was thinking Flamethrower might even be a better option for it than the physical Fire-type moves it could learn... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cactuarjoe 2008-06-22 11:37 pm UTC (link)
	Well, at base 95, it's Sp Atk is pretty good. If you use a Mild nature, you could get some solid damage off of Flamethrower or Fire Blast, and still use physical moves elsewhere in your moveset. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Yeah, that's what I was thinking... It could be strong enough that it'd be a better alternative than going for a less-powerful physical move, even if it would work off Flareon's best stat. So I was initially going to say, "No, it's hopeless!!" but then I was curious to see what your moveset suggestions would be!

Man... One time I even thought about getting Mud Slap for it from the GBA games... Then I realized I was getting pretty desperate...

	Ampharos is my favorite electric Poke. 8D (Reply to this)

	REEEEEEEEEEP (Reply to this)(Thread)

	OH GOD MAREEP IS STARING INTO MY SOUL (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	onlyarie 2008-06-22 08:37 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, yeah, that... sheep tend to do that sometimes. Of course, Ampharos totally didn't hypnotize people to vote for it by staring into their souls, before you come to think anything as crazy as such. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	lazyoceans 2008-06-22 09:07 pm UTC (link)
	Yay, Ampharos is in the lead so far. My favorite electric type <3 (Reply to this)

	hinata19 2008-06-22 09:36 pm UTC (link)
	Ampharos and Sableye would be good to see, but I voted Flareon because I'm partial to the Eeveelutions ~~and I'm trying to build a Eevee team and debating whether to include Flareon, lol~~ (Reply to this)(Thread)

	nekokatsu 2008-06-23 04:19 am UTC (link)
	DITTO! (not the Pokemon) (Reply to this)(Parent)

	holzerhedrpca 2008-06-22 10:43 pm UTC (link)
	Ampharos was one of my favorite Gen II Pokémon, but I'm more interested in seeing Sableye movesets. I already have a good Dodrio (ask raichu26, and there really is only one good moveset for Flareon. Give me the lesser of two no-weakness ghosties! (Reply to this)

	autumnrain 2008-06-22 10:57 pm UTC (link)
	I'd love to see Ampharos get some love, but OH MY GODS you have Sableye in there HELL YES DO WANT VERY VERY MUCHLY. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	cactuarjoe 2008-06-22 11:38 pm UTC (link)
	Heh, I kinda thought Sableye would be popular. I didn't expect Ampharos to be quite this popular, though. ^^; (Reply to this)(Parent)

	teadragon 2008-06-22 11:12 pm UTC (link)
	GO SABLEYE. (Reply to this)

	foldinginwards 2008-06-23 12:36 am UTC (link)
	Wow! I chose Ampharos and didn't expect it to be the most! I've been slightly curious with Mareep and Ampharos but only because I've come across Mareep in Safari Zone and wonder if I should train it up. (Reply to this)

	ningicoco 2008-06-23 12:48 am UTC (link)
	WHY? DDDDDD: WHY DO THEY ALL HAVE TO BE SOME OF MY FAVORITE POKES??????? ahem I voted for Flareon because, well, I can use the others ones fairly well but Flareon kills me. It just.... sits there. (Reply to this)

	billiefuckinjoe 2008-06-23 01:39 am UTC (link)
	I love my Amphy. (Reply to this)

	buddhatube 2008-06-23 02:39 am UTC (link)
	OH GOD SABLEYE. D: (Reply to this)

	maverickz3r0 2008-06-23 08:02 am UTC (link)
	Amphy~ One of my faves. He rocked in Gen2 when he came out but with all the new stuff in Gen4 I've lost track of how to use him. One of my faves is making him a SubPuncher though. (Reply to this)

	kawaiiranchan 2008-06-23 04:14 pm UTC (link)
	Flareon! <3 If he has the world's worst movepool, then I need some help on figuring out how to use my little buddy. (Reply to this)
