Im not gonna lie, I once used Splash to win a battle...
It was one of the random battles on Pokemon Showdown, I had a magikarp at 1hp (Focus sash) who was faster than their absol who had sucker punch
I used splash instead of flail twice in a row making both sucker punches fail and when I assumed he would say screw it and use night slash I unleashed the flail instead.
The only reason they made Splash a move in the first place was just so they could give Magikarp a move without forcing it to always resort to Struggle until level 15 (which it does anyway once the PP runs out, assuming it doesn't faint beforehand.)
