I'm gonna have to say Pikachu. Being the Pokemon mascot doesn't mean people like it. I've found some graphic pictures of Pikachu. I'd post them, but it'd violate the rules.

Although you'll have to excuse me, since I was late in resolving this issue.

I've actually seen a rise in usage of people I previously thought were on the border of OU/UU; Golurk has risen in popularity because he now learns Ice Punch, Thunder Punch, and Fire Punch along with Stealth Rock.
All I want now is for Game Freak to let Escavalier learn U-turn in Gen VI.

I always like using Hariyama and Manectric whenever I play Sapphire. Hariyama's a powerhouse and Manectric is like Jolteon only slightly weaker and slower but still great to use.

What about Zoroark?
althought it relies on trickery due to it's ability.
it'd be probably one of the good dark types to use.
also Tropius is underrated also.

No. Something that looks like a dinosaur should not be so pathetically weak.

Zoroark's problem is that he doesn't really get any attacks outside of Dark Pulse and Flamethrower.
Oh and his defenses are simply awful.

Manectric is faster than Magneton though and it has two extra weaknesses Manectirc doesn't have (fire and fighting) and it suffers a double weakness to ground.
Machoke can only evolve by trade so given a choice between the two, Hariyama's the better pick for me since I"ll at least get a fully evolved fighting type.
Also, look at how big Tropius is.

Houndoom. Defense is bad, HP is mediocre, Sp defense and attack is ok, speed is decent, and Sp attack is great. Moves are kind of good only one missing is Dark Pulse in Gen V.

Hydreigon has literally higher stats in every single stat, another immunity with levitate, greater resists thanks to Dragon typing, and an absolutely ridiculous movepool that includes Flamethrower, Fire Blast, STAB Dark Pulse, STAB Draco Meteor and Dragon Pulse, Focus Blast, Charge Beam, Surf and Earth Power. And that's only on the special side, as he also learns Crunch, Outrage, Earthquake, Acrobatics, Stone Edge, and U-turn.
Oh and he also learns Roost now which means you could feasibly run a phazer set with him now, as he learns Thunder Wave and Dragon Tail.
The only thing you'd be losing by using Hydreigon over Houndoom is a Fire-type STAB. Not really worth it, hmm?
EDIT: I suppose Houndoom does have another immunity with Flash Fire, but still.

looking at smogon's descriptions of arceus and they are hilarious and terrifying at the same time
[quote author=Arceus-Dark's description]With the power of the forbidden Dread Plate, Arceus can pass unholy Judgments upon the opponent's Pokemon as they tremble before the Original One's wrathful figure. This warped Arceus scoffs at the numerous Psychic-types who infest the Uber tier before either swatting them down with Judgment or boosting with Calm Mind as the opponent fails to damage Arceus. The trainer that commands Arceus in His Dark forme can feel confident that stall teams will have trouble handling Him, as He can Recover off the weak passive damage and Refresh away the pesky status effects that annoy other bulky stat boosters. However, Dark Arceus has His flaws; He cannot stand up to the heroic blows of Fighting-type Pokemon or the brutal stings of Bug-types. Nevertheless, any team that wishes to succeed in the Uber tier must always prepare for Dark Arceus's wrath, or He shall eradicate your team with His wicked Judgments in the blink of an eye.[/quote]

by the time i had a zweilous i was sick and tired of grinding
so i burned 14 rare candies to evolve him
Seriously, though. Grinding is pretty easy in Gen V thanks to the reworked EXP formula and Audinogrinding. If you head to Route 14 (the one above White Forest/Black City) there's a line of grass that you can simply run back and forth past until an Audino levels 47-50 appears. It only has a one in four chance of attacking you, so it's a simple matter to send out a level one, use toxic and then spam substitute.
The resulting experience gain usually gets you past level 20 and sometimes up to 30. From one Audino.

Out of the Unova starters Oshawott seems to be picked the least. I don't think I need to explain Snivy -_- and TVtropes claims the Tepig family is hated for being yet another fire/fighting type, but I still see some people choose Tepig. Poor Oshawott.
