Ex: SHEDINJA, Scyther, etc.
Believe it or not, even the rarely used Pokemon can still beat a team full of OUs, with the right movesets and stats. I got sweeped by a mono-bug team back then when I played against my friend in class. Guess who wiped out my entire team? I had a team of 1 of everything: Metagross (phys w/ explosion and salac berry), Gardy (spe), Bliss (spe. wall), Skarm (phys. wall), Snorlax (tank), Regirock (phys w/ explosion and Choice Band)
A Scyther wiped out like half of my entire team, for the most part.
-shrug- Basically, whatever works for you.
Indeed, some of the lesser used pokemon are underestimated. I find my Absol can completely devastate teams who don't expect too much from it. I thought Absol was pretty cool, and with it getting sucker punch in 4th gen to make up for its crap speed, it can really sweep away.
You know who else I have that tends to take out teams? CHARIZARAD, one of my oldest favorites. I know, LOL FIRE right? At least earthquake doesn't get him. If I can read their switch and find a nice opportunity to get him in, I can set up my substitute and start up my belly drum. From there, Charizard usually takes out everything the opponent sends out. The match usually finishes rather quickly once I get its strategy to work out. The speed boost from its berry, plus the STAB from fire moves, plus Blaze, and a moveset to take out a lot of crap. Even if they're strong against fire, I can find a move that'd most likely OHKO them.
