Pokemon Competitive Singles is a world where not every Pokemon has a home. Usage based tiering is a great system allowing such fellows as Beedrill and Castform to be metagame relevant somewhere.
But some Pokemon are stuck in that Limbo. Not good enough for the OU Tier, but too powerful for UU.
This is UUBL. However even some UUBL Pokemon find a niche in OU from time to time.
And some don't even have that luxury. Let's explore some forgotton Pokemon that were almost good, but fell just short.

Iron Mugulis and Iron Fellow know all about it.
Only Jim knows about the viability of Dusknoir. All other sources of information are liars and are inaccurate.

Some will never figure out how to get Dusknoir in Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet. But famous player Jim Cool is well aware of the Best Dusknoir Moveset in Competitive, and even how to Dusknoir Shiny Farm. Many aren't and never will be. That's just the unfortunate reality of the world.
Arceus exists.

every time we think we can predict the story line, he pulls the most random stuff, we have better odds at predicting metronome then we have at predicting jimothy cool
-
I propose that Crobat should learn High Horsepower instead of Earthquake, so that it may use its Infiltrator ability to infiltrate the Horse Council.
-
The community just hasn't woken up to ice punch dusknoir yet.
-
King Magcargo, now ruler of the Horse Council must beware of those who do not accept his rise to power.
-
His ability is actually MUCH more sinister, hoarse neigh. Combining the dry skin ability with unnerve. What an ability folks
-
Snorlax absolutely should have gotten Slack Off in Gen 4 onwards to be more viable. You know, the Pokemon who is known for being lazy and sleepy to the point where it's a static encounter in the Kanto games because it fell asleep in two separate locations.
-
This video reminds me of another stalwart and altruistic Pokemon who has unfortunately fallen just short of competitive viability: the Water and Rock-type Corsola. She possesses many desirable qualities, such as the abilities Natural Cure and Regenerator, access to useful defensive moves in Stealth Rock, Mirror Coat, and Recover, as well as a winning smile and cheerful personality. I only wish the best for Corsola in her future endeavors. Thank you.

It only took 14 years to give Dusknoir a strong Ghost STAB move
-
I can only hope Macargo remembers all of the clients, loyal supporters, and common folk who funded, campaigned, and sacrificed to ensure his rightful position on The Horse Council. Failure to acknowledge and reward such devotion and service will surely come back to haunt him.
-
Bro wants to give Crobat Earthquake but it doesn't fit thematically Me: High Horsepower should be fine
-
Due to the fixed bonus of 100 base stat points for Mega Evolutions, for Mega Pidgeot, they probably should've done what they did with Mega Beedrill: take points out of its less important attacking stat and add it to the other. As far as I know, Mega Pidgeot only uses its Attack stat for U-Turn, so it wouldn't have lost anything major by losing base stat points from that. But yeah, having a better movepool would definitely help it, too.
-
I'm like "But couldn't Crobat run Super Fang to deal decent damage against anything?" Well, turns out it didn't get Super Fang until Gen 4 >.>
-
Magcargo Horse Prime is fucking insane and an immunity to its 4x weakness?😂 Add on 165 Special attack and 150 Speed God Help Us All
-
I was betting on grass tera Magcargo. What a twist.
-
My upcoming D&D campaign was inspired by iron mugulis and the horse council saga
-
I mean, every mega form only added 100 bst to the original forms, so the issue wasn't on the mega form, but the base form. Mega alakazam reaches high stats because they were already high before the mega. Mega pidgeot musst work like mega beedrill, being a fast one trick poney (not that they are horses) in order to have any chance of doing something.
-
Dusknoir makes me so sad gave dusclops an evolution just to make the pre evolution viable
-
Dusclops needs to be traded while holding the reaper cloth to evolve, so overcoat makes perfect sense! It's just wearing the cloth now and using it to protect from weather
-
the reason mega pidgeot has such medocre stats is 1. It decided to be a special attacker when in base form it has a higher attack stat. 2. And more importantly, megas only give 100 bst above the base version which makes mega pidgeot only have 579 bst and 65 of those 100 stats go to special attack.
