Pokemon you've always wanted to use but haven't

Lucario - I never got the hype about it, and I'm not very fond of Steel or Fighting types....I trained a Riluo for a bit in BW2, but not far enough to let it evolve or really develop at all as a team member. I'd like to raise one to its full potential one day, though.

Umbreon - I had one waaaaay long ago in Silver, but more recently have never been able to find a place for one on my team.

Swampert - Never played Gen 3, but I like the Water/Ground combo. I'd like to try to use one on a team someday.

Metagross - I caught a shiny Metang in my White2 and had planned on training it and evolving it in a future game, and Metagross overall seems like a Pokemon that I can fit on a team as a valued member somewhere down the line.

Milotic - It's pretty and seems like it can hold its own in battle...why not?

Dragonite - I trained one a loooooong time ago as a kid, but if I remember right I only evolved it so I could fill my Pokedex, and never kept it as a team member.
 
Burmy/ Mothim- adorable little moth i wanted to use but never did, i will be using one when i play platnium though or im hoping to anyway.. they better appear early on !

Ariados - One of my favourite pokemon of all time but i have soul silver and there exclusive to heart gold so yeahhh

Haxorus- i used hydreigon and volcarona instead although i would love to use haxorus too

Blaziken- i went with mudkip as my starter but i would love to actually use a torchic aswell

Durant is a cool pokemon steel/bug i could use it loads with swords dance and iron head to destroy everything but once again hes in my box never to be used

Octillery- really cool water pokemon with a great move set, hoping this will change soon when i get round to using my purple remoraid eventually
 
Galvantula. It looks amazing and it's typing is really cool, but in all my playthroughs I've already had a Bug and Electric type by the time I reach Chargestone Cave. Don't worry Mr Electric Spider, I'll save room for you next time.
 
Weavile - I've always loved the Pokemon but I don't like waiting until after the 7th Gym to pick up a Pokemon. Maybe in the future.

Hydreigon - I've used one competitively but never in-game. Again, they're obtained too late in the game for my liking.

Tyranitar - Again, I've used one competitively but never in-game. I really like its line but I've never gotten the opportunity to fit it into my team. Plus, on an in-game team Sand Stream is a difficult Ability to work around.

Metagross - Just like the others, it just never works out. I thought that in B2/W2 I would be able to obtain one earlier (same with Tyranitar) but of course, they never let that happen.
 
Eeveelutions. Never had an Eeveelution in my team ever, but I always either can't find an Eevee or am way too lazy to train it when I do. Really curious as to how they perform.

Also Escavalier. KNIGHT MOTIF FTW. Still waiting for my friend to have time to do a tradeback with me.
 
Wormadam - I was always interested in using the Steel-type forme but could never seem to get myself to bother using the honey trees since most of the time I'd forget to check the trees.

Aerodactyl - By the time you manage to get it, it takes way too long to level up in time for the last gym and the league.

Delibird - In generations prior to Gen V it was hard to make usable unless I cloned TMs, chain-bred moves or tutor moves.
 
Heracross - Its never easy to find an Heracross in any game. He is cool, powerful, has great moves and a decent typing but I never could use one.

Vaporeon - My favorite eeveelution. Water stone + being a gift pokemon turns it very hard to get too
 
Heracross cause he's a boss and I rarely get a chance to find him. Still looking for one in Black 2

Lucario--got jealous of my friend when he found a riolu in white 2,

Electabuzz- I always wanted to use him but never found one in any game

Hydreigon-same reason as Beck, and by then I had found Tyrannitar WHO IS A GOD DANG BEAST
 
So many Pokémon! Because I always take the Grass-type starter, I've really not been experimenting with Grass-types the way I'd like to (they are my favourite type). Sunflora, Tangrowth, Victreebel, Breloom, Abomasnow, Leavanny - all Pokémon I really love but have never got around to using. I've always wanted to use a Yanmega, too, but never have.
 
I also really want to try out more Eeveelutions. I have an Umbreon in my SoulSilver team, but I didn't realize it was mostly a defensive Pokemon, otherwise I would have taught it better moves.

Blaziken- EVERYONE at camp had a Blaziken back when Ruby and Sapphire were the new things. I'd usually cream them with my Swampert, but I still felt a little out.
 
Nosepass always seemed cool but his astronomically low attacking stats and the difficulty of obtaining one always got in the way.
 
Pan/Simisage. I'm not sure why I've never used one, but I just haven't. I've used Pansear and Panpour before, but not their grass brother.
