Hi Pojo! It's OrangeOreo again.Please post this. There are a good many underrated cards, and I'm not talking about Machop or Geodude or any of those guys(they act as substitutes). Here is a list of the underrated cards:
 
Rapidash-If used correctly, this Pokemon can be lethal. By the time you've evolved him, you should have two fire energies on him. This suffices for stomp, a chance to do 30 for two. Next turn, you should be able to accomplish Agility. His zero retreat cost makes him so very versatile, and I just can't believe how much this card isn't used.
 
Lickitung-Oh my GOSH is this guy underused! His primary purpose is for stalling, and he does just that. For any one energy, he deals 10 and a chance at paralysis, and with 90 HP, he almost invincible. I know that you're probably thinking,"What's this guy on?". Although Lickitung may not look to glamourous, he's very good. If you don't trust me, just try playing him. He works in Haymaker Variations, most Stall, and even a good stall for that Blastoise you just can't seem to find in your Raindance Deck.
 
Fossil Haunter-Sure, you see this guy used to be evoled into Gengar, but what about his other purposes? He's rare, and if you read my article titled "Rarities" then you'll see why him being rare makes him deserve a second look. His stalling capabilities are endless. By putting the other guy to sleep, then along with his power, he has a 25% chance of being damaged or affected(kind of like his Base Set counterpart that has a 25% chance of actually damaging).
 
Base Magmar-Unless your deck is purely Stall or Haymaker, then if you have the other Fossil Magmar then you should have ONE of these guys. He acts as a great starting or even back-up Pokemon like Lickitung. He deals 30 on turn 2, 50 on turn 3, and by the next turn he should be dead(most likely). This preps your Electabuzz, Fossil Magamar, etc. for the kill.
 
Seaking-You are all gonna hate me, but Seaking is NOT AS BAD AS YOU SAY HE IS. Here is an example:1st turn: Energy on Goldeen for 10. 2nd turn: Energy on just-evolved Seaking for 30. This should be used in beginning or late game, when your opponent is weakest, otherwise Goldeen's just gonna yeild a free prize to the opponent.
 
    So those are some of the Pokemon that I believe are very underrated and underused. All I wanna say is that there are many Pokemon that people take 1 look at and then return it to it's shoebox. People, they deserve a 2nd look.
 
Back next week with more!
