A plugin is never Creative. That is marketing speak. Commonly, to cover that the product is deeply flawed but covers that with lots of silly DIFY (Do It FOR You) rubbish, which is the opposite of creativity as you create nothing, merely apply the one-tick pony.
The single effect with the most creative potential is a well-designed Delay/Echo. It helps if it can be modulated, allows for very short times, lets you Breakout, and has at least basic tone controls on-board. For example, I can do more with this puppy than many stock units that look fancier but lack proper usability (and lock to BPM unghhh). I have others that focus a bit in particular directions like Hz Dealy, Hz Multiplier, Hz Box, Tape Deco, Rev-T1, R3-500...

Note how this can morph between chorus, slapback, echo, out to reverb with the one box.
