Strategy & Metagame Underrated RU Pokemon

[Molk]

This article will be about Pokemon that are NU by usage but happen to be very good in the current RU metagame (there are quite a few imo although i'll probably only look at four or five). The idea of the article like others before it would be to try and put these Pokemon into the spotlight a little bit, introduce new players to them and what they do, and possibly popularize them in the tier in the near future =).

I'm not totally sure which Pokemon i'd be bringing up in the article, but i'm almost definitely going to do Gurdurr and Shiftry, and Mismagius, Zangoose, Vivillon, Omastar, and Qwilfish are some other candidates.

Anyone have any thoughts?

You're the RU leader, so... approved. atomicllamas can give you your other candidates tho :)

Ya, we talked about this on irc, I don't really agree with Vivillon to be completely honest, but any of those you choose should be good candidates.

i talked to llamas a bit and Gurdurr, Shiftry, and Magneton (RU by usage but still underrated) are p. much set in stone. I need two more
