That one move that you absolutely despise.

    Is there one move that you hate with a flaming passion? Whether it be a move that always knocks out your Pokemon, makes you want to rip your hair out, or misses when it's all on the line, we each have a move that we absolutely despise. For me, that move would be spore. 100 Accuracy is broken, and it's the sheer reason why Breloom is as highly regarded as it is. While it did bother me when Sleep Powder missed 3 times in a row, once, 100 Acc on a sleep-inducing move is pushing it.
     
    Starting to hate Cut. I decided I'd train an Oddish on SoulSilver, and the Oddish I had was taught Cut when I caught it, and I'm not far enough to get to the move deleter right now. So...I have the amazing Cut Oddish on my team. Cut isn't even that accurate. :(

    Other moves I hate ummmm...Explosion. While grinding in White, it's annoying to be training something and have it explode and knock you out and you miss out on exp. It's funny when you're using Ghosts though. Hehehe.
     
    Ew. Earthquake .___. Especially since I have a strong love for Fire/Electric Types. And certain Mono-type runs aren't fun. Along with T-Bolt and F-Thrower. AND I-Beam

    Oh yes, CUT.
    I wish it was stronger. ;; It would be a little more useful...
    And the move deleter is so far away! D:

    Moves I hate:
    Supersonic. Obvious reasons, I hate confusion. >:C Like in a battle with my Zubats and someone else... Mine misses, theirs hit. Next turn, I hit myself in confusion. >.< Mine always misses, theirs always hit!!

    Hypnosis. Same as above, really. Gastly Used Hypnosis! The attack missed! Poliwag used Hypnosis! Gastly fell asleep! FFFFFF FOR 4 TURNS. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF- *Dies*

    Lastly Thunder wave. Noticing a pattern here??? I hate statuses!! Not only does your Pokemon have 25% speed, it doesn't move but like half the time! >.< I know other moves paralyz, but this is the worse! :c
     
    Either Thunder for me, since whenever I use it, it will act like a blind man or something, or Flatter. Seriously? That move is worse than Splash! The latter has some humor towards it, when the former just helps you out, and confuses you.
     
    Sonicboom and thunder wave...
    So annoying.
    And the worst thing about it is that voltorb and electrode can learn them both.
     
    OMG HOW COULD I FORGET. I hate Thunder, Hydro Pump, Fire Blast, and all their little friends. Powerful yes, but inaccurate, low PP, and just UGH. I don't enjoy them. I really hate the NPCs that get hax and have them always hit. When I used to try and use them, I didn't get squat.

    Sometimes, I admit, I use them for lulz coverage. Like Machamp with Fire Blast. It was in-game and I didn't care. ^-^
     
    Protect and Detect. Gosh, that move is totally worthless. I mean, you're going to get hit eventually, why waste time? And you can't use them two times in a row, as it is unlikely to work again. Plus it doesn't even damage your opponent.
     
    Confuse Ray. A 100% accurate confusion move (that also happens to be learned by one of the most prevalent Pokémon in the game)--it can turn what should be an easy win into a 20-turn near-death experience.
     
    Only when I'm up against an opponent, I hate high powered moves like Close Combat. I also hate being statused by moves like Toxic, Thunder Wave or Confuse Ray.
     
    Ice beam and Stealth Rock. My mouth just drops everytime they are used on me, and my bad side is unleashed. My DSi recieves verbal abuse..... a lot. I flipping hate those moves. It grids my gears! >:|
     
    Anything that induces poison, or something like confuse ray or supersonic. So annoying. D:

    AND ROCK SMASH. Ugh that attack when it was a HM sucked cause it was so weak. :(

    Well, you can use them to stall if the opponent has a status condition, then again they only work once or twice when you use them, yet the opponent can pull of 4 or 5 in a row.

    Focus Blast is one of my favorite moves to use, it's just really unreliable, I feel like I'm taking a huge risk every time I use it.
     
    I really hate Self-Destruct. Everytime it's used on me, it's a one-hit KO. Everytime I use it, they survive -_-...
     
    Protect, Detect, Flash, Rock Smash, Whirlpool... useless, useless moves when I use them, but the first three can be quite annoying when spammed. I've sworn at my DS multiple times because a friend's Ampharos kept using Flash, or because Cal's Meganium kept using Leech Seed/Toxic and then would Protect spam.
     
    Double Team, I'll always get hit, even after I've used it 3 times. Yet the enemy will always remain untouchable.

    In the battle dome on Emerald I had to battle a Blissey with the following moves:
    -Double Team
    -Toxic
    -Sing
    -Softboiled

    I thought I was going to struggle myself to death (I was using Crobat), but I managed to defeat him somehow.
     
    Besides the bovious Protect and Detect, Endure. Anyone ever tried to get some levels in Ice Path? Well too bad the Swinubs there seem to use nothing but Endure, and succeed far more often than they should. The only fairly common things to beat hax-y Endure spam with are poison and LS, both of which are only common among Grass and Bug types, exactly what you wouldn't want to use in a cave full of bats and ice types.
