Your favourite pokemon move

[Zurich]

As the title says, tell me what move you like the most (from each category), and why?

-Physical: Megahorn, a very highly-damaging attack and its great for neutral damage, hiting hard almost everything on its way.
-Special: Draco Meteor, a very powerful attack and i personally like its D/P design.
I dont consider the sp.attack drop something bad.
-Other: Dragon Dance, because i think that boosting Attack and Speed at the same time is something awesome.

Now its your turn!!

[DonRoyale]

Physical: Earthquake. Everything about it wins, and is totally awesome. :D
Special: Hidden Power. The importance of it on some Pokemon is enough to make some (like myself) use IV calculators. If you need an IV calculator, yeah, you're an awesome move.
Other: Swords Dance. Ever since 1st gen, I knew how ridiculously broken SD was. Thank GOD they made it a TM again :D

[Sweet Speed]

I think Focus Punch is my favourite Pokemon move because I think It's the collest move in the Anime. It's also pretty good in the Game if you land it.

[Goketsu]

my favorite move would probably be shadow force its just plain cool ;)

[Opposite Day]

I think there was a thread already for this. http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=154784
(If a mod could merge these, that would be nice :) )

[UberChomp]

Physical: Close Combat (all-out powerful Fighting type move and great, reliable accuracy)
Special: Draco Meteor (love the animation in D/P and PBR, amazingly reliable and strong Dragon type move)
Other: Calm Mind (raises Special Attack and Special Defense, thats very helpful of course and its great overall)

oh, you are wright, but that is for a single move,
This one is for each category (physical, special, other) look in the first post.

[Master Jecht]

Lance got me to love hyper beam in R/B/Y so i would say that is my favorite move.

[ShadowWind]

favorite special move most certainly is physcic and my favorite physical move is extremespeed for sure its like quick attack for legendaries =D and the other would be calm mind cause it makes my favorite move physcic even strong =D

[Luck]

Favorite physical move: Wood hammer, because its about time torterra lobbed logs at pokemon.
Favorite special move:zap cannon, because the animation and side effect is awesome.
Favorite other: either mind reader or spore. Mind reader can make one hit KO's the best moves, and spore is just annoying. 100 accuracy for a sleep move is bad for you.

mind reader is pretty awesome one of my old(but sort of cheap) combos was articuno with mind reader and sheer cold very cheap but worked like amgic

Nice one, i agree its very annoying.
but I am very helpful sleep talk exists. :)

[Archeopterix]

Physical - Close Combat
Special - Flamethrower
Other - Hypnosis

I disregard the 'sleep clause'.

[Bloodex]

Easy! DArk Void. Itsw awsome and only DArkrai knows it!!!

[Hiidoran]

Physical: Sacred Fire.
(Well, what Pokémon can learn that move? Exactly my point.)

Special: Tri Attack.
(I'm not really sure why I'm so partial to this particular move. Perhaps it has something to do with it's animation in the second generation games?)

Other: Destiny Bond.
(Who doesn't like a little divine retribution?)

I think there was a thread already for this. http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=154784
(If a mod could merge these, that would be nice :) )
I do believe that other thread was just for animations, wasn't it?
Just throwing that out there...

[Sublime]

Pysical: Body Slam. cause in-game i would paralyze the enemy almost every time

Special: i gotta agree with Hiidoran on Tri-Attack.

Other: Curse. two different effects? yea, thats awesome

[Gymnotide]

Physical - COMET PUNCH: SERIOUSLY? LEDIAN 35 Base Attack, GO!! It's stronger than Tackle when it hits twice AND it hits through Substitute, like a pro! Everyone who wants to seriously battle just HAS to check out this move.

Special - RAZOR WIND: Wow! This move may just be better than Comet Punch! It's like serious ownage. I mean, who's gonna stop a rampaging Absol? No one. Razor Wind is so strong that it needs to charge up a turn, but that's okay since anything that is hit by it is BLOWN AWAY (i c wat i did thar). Everyone is like "OH CRAP! RAZOR WIND, GOTTA SWITCH OUT!" But they're all like "Oh isn't Razor Wind a Flying-type move?" But the joke's on them because whatever gets sent out next is hit by a full 80 POWER 2-TURN CHARGE NORMAL ATTACK!!

Other - MUD SPORT: Oh, who doesn't love rolling around in the mud? And OH BOY! Geodude with Mud Sport? That's like 50% reduction on top of the immunity... That's like... 150% reduction on Electric-type attacks! No Pikachu gonna be hurting my Geodude now.

[suicidesal]

I like leech seed- slowly killing your opponent while improving your own health. Double it with some poision powder and it's such an awesome to kill an opponent

[DevinRed]

Physical: Earthquake Almost everone on my team knows this move!
Special: Flamethrower Epic win. What more can I say?
Other: Swords dance/ Curse/ Dragon Dance Up! Up! Up!... POW!!!

[Opposite Day]

Yea, probably. Sorry for the inconvenience caused by my earlier post. Back on the subject! :)

Physical: It's got to be Metal Claw. For some unknown reason.

Special: Tri Attack! :D As mentioned above, in Gen II, it looked way better than it does now, and all those amazing sounds.. *burn burn freeze freeze freeze THUNDERBOLT*. Lovely! :D

Else? Perish Song. A song so sad, that the Pokemon cries themselves to fainting.

[Crimson Arcanine]

Physical Move Fave: Earthquake, Nice coverage, beautiful power and nice accuracy come together for a fantastic move with strangely enough isn't broken.
Special Move Fave: Aura Sphere. 60 power moves that never miss, good, a 90 power move that never misses with the same PP? Awesome. Oh and did I mention it looks cool too, no matter if its on the DS or playing PBR on the Wii?
Other Move Fave: Nasty Plot. Its just evil, simple as that.:badsmile:

[Suzume]

I was thinking that there should be a thread like this, but it's a good think someone else started it, because it could've taken some time from me. :P

Physical: Earthquake. I like attacks that do a lot of damage, but have good accuracy and enought PP. Earthquake is just perfect.
Special: Thunderbolt or Psychic, maybe. Thunderbolt gets extra points because it can also paralyze. Both very balanced as well.
Other: I like moves like Bulk Up and Calm Mind that increase two stats at the same time.

[♣Gawain♣]

Physical: Earthquake! An attack that never misses it's ground target! Or... Double-edge, an attack thats horrible to you and I.

Special: Ice beam or Blizzard, easily freezes foes!

Other: Curse, a damaging attack for Ghost-types and upgrading type for others.

[Ravecat]

MUDDY WATER.

Woo! Chocolate Milk Surfin'~!

I only wish it was ground type, instead of water, so it would actually be useful.

[Lord Yawgmoth]

Physical: Earthquake hits Super on so many things. =3
Special: Psychic FTW. So useful in R/B/Y/G/S/C. (Best attack animation in 2nd gen too.)
Other: Curse, it looks very creepy, and it's so useful for tanks.

[Mōnštȝr¿]

My favorite move would have to be my Heatran's Flamethrower

[kissing. raindrops]

Physical: Close Combat. Love it.
Special: Energy Ball. Looks super cool.
Other: Bulk Up. I like it=)

[Leaf_PKMN-Trainer]

My favorite single attack is my Gardevoir's Psychic.
My favorite combo attack is my Gardevoir's Hypnosis followed by her Dream Eater.

[Zurich]

So far earthquake is the winner with 6 votes..
Most popular move so far

[raging lion]

I like close combat and leaf storm.

[eevee00]

Special: Thundershock, watching Gary's Eevee go down in that first battle after a third thundershock is a very happy memory.
Physical: Scratch (For those who chose Charmander or Totodile like I did in the earlier games)
Other: Growl, nobody can resist the attack lowering power of a little growl.

Combo: Belly Drum, Rest and then Body Slam your way to victory!
(Made my Snorlax invincible when used with a Mint berry)

or... just repeatedly using Pikachu's Thunderbolt over and over again.
Ahh the naive days of my youth, when I thought that Pikachu was a good choice to battle Erika...
"Forget Charizard, he's on a lower level than Pikachu..."

[Lynnx]

Earthquake, Night Slash, Aerial Ace, Heat Wave, Ice Beam and Surf would have to be some of my favorite moves.

[Zurich]

Earthquake: 7 votes
Close Combat: 4 votes

[Tobi-kun]

Discharged, surf,flamethrower, perishsong, thunderbolt, psychic, and leach seed

[s p a c e c o w b o y]

Earthquake: 7 votes
Close Combat: 4 votes

earthquake. its pure power.

[Postman]

Outrage and Close Combat are the best moves :)

[Zurich]

Earthquake: 8
Close Combat: 5

Well, now i will post some information on this two moves..

Earthquake: Most powerful Ground type, 100 base power, 100 accuracy, has no effect on flying pokemon, It does double damage if the opponents uses dig, in double battles it hits everyone in the field even the user, good against rock, steel, electric, poison and fire pokemon.

Close Combat: Fighting type, 120 base power, 100 accuracy,
Close Combat does damage, then lowers both the Defense and Special Defense of the Pokémon that used it one stage, good against rock, steel, ice, normal and dark pokemon.

[ToraSushii]

Destiny Bond. muahahaha! its a move so diabolically evil!

Also, Explosion, because yes. And Dark Pulse, because I love Dark-type moves.

Oh, yes. And Sucker Punch, hehe.

[BeachBoy]

Physical ; Outrage, the rage unleashed is awesome. :O

Special ; Draco Meteor, just shock and aww. o_o

Other ; Rain Dance, I've always found this very appealing, not exactly sure why, but I love it.

[.Ozymandias]

Physical ; Slam, and I have no idea why, just because!

Special ; Either Psychic or Thunder; the effects were always awesome, and the damage was great too!

Other ; Hypnosis, especially when teamed with Dream Eater.

[Charliezard]

I like iron tail, cuz Pikachu looks bad ass in the anime lol hehe. Like when he spins around and rips anything in half :D If I had a mouse, it would soooo be doing that ._.

[⋚Raika⋚]

Physical- Fire/Ice/Thunder Punch (they have been my favourites ever since i started pokemon)
Special- Overheat (nuff said)
Other- Sword Dance (attack booster for my above punches)

[Tanooki]

Physical - Super Fang (and next time, let's make it available to something else not named Raticate)
Special - Flamethrower
Other - Calm Mind

I also wanted to throw in one of my personal favorite combo moves, Rain Dance and Thunder. The fact that so many Electric-types can learn it, and it ensures Thunder will never miss, makes it one of the best in the game.

[Zurich]

Recoil Damage moves: Struggle, Take Down, Submission, Double-Edge, Volt Tackle, Brave Bird, Flare Blitz, Wood Hammer, Head Smash, Hi jump kick(if the user misses the attack, it hurts istelf).

Priority Moves: Quick attack, Fake out, Ice shard, mach punch, Vacuum Wave, Aqua jet, Bullet punch, Shadow sneak, Extremespeed, Sucker punch (fails if the foe is not using attacking moves), Me first (strikes first with foes attack at 1,5 power).
Recovery moves: Recover, Milk drink, Moonlight, Sinthesis, Morning sun, Heal order, Wish, Softboiled, Roost, Leech seed, Ingrain, Aqua ring, Rest.
Stat Boost moves: Sword Dance, Nasty plot, Iron Defense, Barrier, Amnesia, Agility, Rock polish, Bulk up, Calm mind, Cosmic power, Dragon Dance,

[Opposite Day]

I think the "Always strikes first" moves that you speak of, are called "Priority Moves" :)

[Zurich]

I think the "Always strikes first" moves that you speak of, are called "Priority Moves" :)

Thanks! I didnt remember how they were called.
I will edit that.

[(Dusty<3)]

Physical: X-Scissor. Not many people like it but I love it. A Bug typed Slash? Yes please! (Besides, who doesnt love adorable Kriketune?)

Special: Sludge Bomb. Massive damage AND the posibility of poisoning your opponent? I'd say that it's one of my favorites indeed.

Other: Heal Bell, because healers rule.

[Water Pokémon Specialist]

I like Leech Seed with Ingrain and Toxic! Shadow Ball is one of my fav special moves, don't know why though. Body Slam is pretty good for physical, and Calm Mind for Other!

[Zurich]

Its a good combo (Leech seed + Ingrain), I used it on roselia In Rubi, it was something like this:

Roselia@ Leftovers
Leech Seed
Ingrain
Protect
Giga drain

[Patriots Fan 2010]

Well, my favorite Pokemon attack always been Fire Blast.

[coolcatkim22]

I like Mimic, I don't why I just do. Maybe I'm like Mimic Girl

[Lana.]

Dang, good question. Made me think xD

Physical: I'm going to go with the crowd and say Earthquake. Watching my Torterra annihilate Volkner with will always be a memory held close to my heart, and it is epic win. Enough said =)

Special: Again, holds roots in the games. My Rapidash utterly OHKOing Candice's Abomnasnow with Flamethrower was awesomely awesome. Flamethrower is my favorite, definitely.

Other: Yet again I have sentimental value attached to Perish Song. Lapras totally owned Erika (at least, I think it was her...) with Perish Song, while I just laughed and cheered it on.

... As you can see, I value sentiments over actual power. Gotta love the games, my friends.

[Zurich]

Now lets do something different, tell me wich priority move you like the most.

[(Dusty<3)]

Now lets do something different, tell me wich priority move you like the most.

*mutter mutter* Well excuse me......Im not craz bout them but my favorite would HAVE to be the original and mother of them all: Quick Attack.

[Zurich]

My favourites are aqua jet (great D/P animation) and sucker punch (awesome dark move)

[chanchimi]

I'm not really sure. But I always loved 1-hit KO attacks (though I rarely use them) I like Fissure and Guillotine!

[Donnie]

Splash
one day splash will be an attack with a whopping 250 damage and 100 accuracy!
FEAR SPLASH!!

[DonRoyale]

FEAR TEH SPLASH!

Favorite priority move is Sucker Punch, for sure. It's like, the ultimate kick in the no-no area. XD

[Zurich]

If you want to change the topic of what type of move then make another thread,

[Zurich]

If you want to change the topic of what type of move then make another thread,

I will probably do that, thanks.

[Aurafire]

I've always been a fan of Will-O-Wisp, Extreme Speed and Aurasphere....I don't know why, I just like them ^_^

[Mages4ever]

I know this isn't a real move, but From a Pokemon Spoof, I love the move "Move"
One Hit K-O
Guaranteed Hit.
Awesome.

[Zurich]

I've always been a fan of Will-O-Wisp, Extreme Speed and Aurasphere....I don't know why, I just like them ^_^

I agree with you, aurasphere is a cool move.
I love that kind of moves, the ones that never miss, like aerial ace, faint attack, etc.

[Cassino]

Physical: Guillotine (Pokemanz needs more 1-hit KOs, one for each type shall we say)
Special: Aurora Beam (in R/B/G/Y, back when certain moves looked and sounded overdramatic)
Effect: Swords Dance

[Pachireecko]

It's between discharge and leaf blade.

[dialga493]

A dragon boy loves a dragon move...

Draco metor

[cathal760]

Physical: Leaf blade (It looks cool and is also a great move in the games)
Special: Aurora Beam (Mainly bescause im a big suicune fan)

other don't realy know maybe sing because in d&p i basicly beat the elite 4 with a level 38 Kricketune with sing and focus band lol!!!

[nandatou]

Interesting question. I think my favorite move would probably be Swords Dance.

[Zurich]

Physical: Leaf blade (It looks cool and is also a great move in the games)

i totally agree with leaf blade, back in r/s it was my fav move, and grovile one of my favourite pokemon.

[True Reign]

Giga Drain and Shadow Ball.

It looks so cool with all those tiny, yellow balls move really quickly across the screen to my Sceptile, lol.

[Eon-Rider]

My favourite moves are Spore and Leaf Blade. You can't go wrong with a 100% sleep inducing move.

[Zurich]

New topic: Favourite Status move.
Mines are spore and toxic.

[Tachibana Azumi]

Status move? Hmm... A gruff post to follow...

*birds chirp*

Fine, fine, it's not funny. Mines are Will-o-wisp and any move that causes the Burn effect. (Burn... Burn... Burn... Burn in hell! HAHAHAHA~)

I'm joking. I like these moves because they help me pwn opponents faster with just my Infernape. Infernape is my main Pokemon in Pt.

[ErickaVolt]

Physical: Surf, it will hit on everything.
Special: Any moves that inflict poison.
Other: hmm... there's many to mention.

[JezzaRules]

Physical: Dragon Claw
Special: Luster Purge

[CyberForte]

Physical: Going to have to add my vote to Close Combat. Good power and accuracy for a fighting move, and it's not like those I use it on have much defense anyway.

Special: Ice Beam. Great accuracy, epic animation, and overall a very useful move.

Other: Hmm... This is a bit harder. Endeavor, I think; a great move in a tight spot.
-CF

[trix]

Physical: Dragon Claw


Sameeeeee!! :D
Sweet. :3

[fishyfool]

My fave physical move will have to be Crunch, as it certainly seems vicious, and what's not as bad as watching your Tyranitar chompp down on a Machamp's shoulder and ripping the arms out their sockets?

My fave special move is Air Slash, you don't need an explanation why Togekiss and Air Slash are awesome.

The best other move is Splash, don't argue.

[Hawkfish]

Return and attract. Love those moves. ^^

[GSOIB]

Hypnosis and Dream eater.

Love em' they are great, especially when i use them with my gengar.

[Stormer07]

Mine:
Physical: Brave birf (love that move)
Special: Hydro cannon

[fenyx4]

Physical: Earthquake (for the awesome power that is unleashed)
Special: Either Meteoric Swarm/Draco Meteor, HydroPump/Hydro Cannon or Roar of Time (for the beautiful animations)

[Zurich]

Oh, i didnt know draco meteor was also called Meteoric swarm.
BTW hydro pump and hydro cannon are different moves

[I Laugh at your Misfortune!]

Splash.

it pwns all. (when I first got my pokemon blue, I thought that there was some kind of secret behind splash, so if you used it enough, it would completely win against everything. My magikarp died. a lot.)

[Synx]

Tackle.
its the most basic and pretty much for everyone.

[8th Wonder™]

Physical: Earthquake....
Special: Surf (really it sortta pwns!!!)
Other: Sand-attack mwahahahahahaha
