What's everyones' best non optimal Pokémon?
Mines is my level 35 98% Arcanine w/ FF/FB pride and joy, and I wouldn't trade it for any Dragonite, Snorlax, Blissey, or Tyranitar lol.

My 100% Bite/Hyperbeam Aerodactly...which I just hatched out of a 2k egg about 30 minutes ago.
Back at the beginning of the game my first super-rare mon was an Aerodactyl out of a 10k egg. back then nobody was level 30 and even the hard core players were hard pressed to see an Aerodactyl. I forget it's moveset, but it was suboptimal. Since then I have hoarded Aerodactyls. I had 5 for the longest time. As if almost irony, they always had crap movesets with high IV. But tonight? Tonight at almost level 36 I hatched a perfect IV Aerodactyl with the A-rated attacking moveset. Now - I know that Aerodactyl is useless even at 100%IV with it's best attacking moveset, but for somone like me that had a sentimental attachment to this still rare mon it was quite cool.
So - long story made short, this 30 minute old Aerodactly is by far my favorite non-optimal mon.
I was excited to answer this question at first, but then realized I don't really have any non-optimal Pokemon I'm crazy about. I've caught a few 100% IVs, but none of them are exciting or useful.
I guess my 93% Confusion/Ice Beam Slowbro would be my favorite. I always keep him (or her, as the case may be) maxed out. I love the dopey look but the not-so-dopey smack-down.
