if we're boxing them specifically over their usage and not aesthetic purpose, then Dugtrio. Use it for Surge for an early win, then dump it as soon as I find something better or cooler

I only just now started using mons that I didn't plan to have on my final team after never doing it because it seemed like abandoning my bros. I'm not really doing it for the reason that you guys are though.
Basically, I really wanted to use certain mons like Zigzagoon and late game water types on my Hoenn team, but I never end up doing so because there are so many other, better mons of those types that fit more easily into my team plan based on availability, stats, movepools, and all that. So I decided I'd do a run without planning a team, just kinda using whatever I come across until I come across something else that replaces it. Playing like a normal person would, essentially.

holy based

>>59105618
Nah not really.
>>
>>59105307
I find starters generally less fun to use so only them, usually covering grass or water isn't too bad but fire is a significantly rarer type to get much options for.

Not really even today he has some niche as ok special wall that can deal unresistible damage

Is Dugtrio the only example of a Pokémon that is better in competitive than in a playthrough? Arena Trap is borderline broken in PvP since switching is so important, but in playthroughs no one ever switches.
Until Gen 7, Sandlash has a higher Attack and from Gen 2 onwards Marowak can have the Thick Club so it also has higher Attack, does Dugtrio's speed make up for it?
>>
>>59105415
I learned that the hard way

>>59106725
Dugtrio assraped in the gen it was introduced.

Earthquake was obscene.
