Best underdogs on your team?

Since everyone is so fixated IVs. Does anyone have some bad IV but incredible attackers or defenders? All-Star underrated squad: 1 Rhydon I caught at level 30 terrible Ivs (50%) w/ MS/Eq, 1 Gyarados I use as a attacker I caught around level 30 @73% Ivs w/ B/HP, Low IV Snorlax @ level 27-8ish ZH/BS, and 60s IVs C/SB Exeggutor I caught at level 28, & various incredible bad IV defenders.

All my snorlax with good cp have bad IV. My favorite is an 2100 C/CC heracross with around 20%, he is in my main team while I can't find a better one.

My first Pc/P Alakazam has terrible IV...which means he has lower HP than my near perfect one. But he was caught wild, and so got candy early. He has killed many opponents and still getsa a run out.

My first Snorlax although having 15A has around 50% IV - but has earned lots of coins and dust. By being a higher level than most in my local area, and as a bad Snorlax has a high CP than most other defenders, he still does very well for himself.

My latest, is a bad IV lvl30 eevee that became Fs/Oh Flareon on day1 of Gen2 - still a beast no matter how you look at it.

IV isn't everything...at least in my opinion.

;) similar situation I don't really care about IVs too much. Other than gym placement the gym performance atm between a perfect and lower iv Pokemon isn't too noticeable.

The first Snorlax I hatched, 68.9%, Zen Headbutt / Body Slam sits at level 39 with 3179 CP and wrecking shit even harder since the moveset update.

If you're using them... they aren't underdogs :)
I've got a 30 Flareon with FS/OH that is less than 50 IV's never cared to check them.

I store tons of bad IVs but super good moveset pokemons as prestigers/attackers. I just check IVs when I want to spend stardust and power up my defenders.

My shitty IV Vaporeon is easier to use than my 96% IV Starmie. That's one example that I could think of.

Starmie w/ WG/HP is the strongest WG user but its a glass cannon. I mainly use mines in prestiging situations.

i feel that high IV mons get bad movesets while low IV mons get good movesets.

I don't keep anything that is not above 82% IVs with a couple of exceptions at 80%. For space management reasons.
I never found in the wild a final evolution with a decent level/ moveset. Not very lucky

I have a below 50% espeon with future sight. She works great as a Blissey finisher; so much damage, so little time.
I like my 37%IV snarl/foul play houndoom. Whenever, I have a psychic or ghost type to clear or prestige, he is top dog, a little glass cannon-ish, but much better attack stats than umbreon.
I've come to love my WA/DC 12% IV Charizard. It is a nice, nimble attack set.
I picked the Chancys I evolved into Blisseys based on high CP and high attack IV. They could be better, even their move sets aren't the best, but I worked with what the valentine event gave me, and am happy with them.
