Pokémon Jessie’s Picks: The Most Underrated Workhorse You Need to Know! When it comes to stat-efficient, versatile Pokémon often overlooked by casual trainers, Jessie from the Unova League (and later Region) stands out as one of the most underestimated workhorses in the Pokémon world. While her partner James, the smarmySmeargle, gets much of the spotlight, Jessie’s true potential as a reliable, battle-tested member is finally getting the recognition it deserves. ### Who Is Jessie in Pokémon? In both the Unova region (from Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum) and later appearances, Jessie is a battle strategies expert trained in Psychic-type Pokémon, especially Kabuto, Weezing, Fourleaf, and other key psychics. But beyond her trainer role, Jessie’s significance runs deeper—she plays a key supporting role in large competitive battles and trainers’ squads, often acting as a pivot or utility weapon with surprising resilience and statistical strength.
