Your most hated move
So, what move, build, or ability do you just absolutely hate?
Really, I just hate anything gimmicky that you need something very specific to counter. But nothing grinds my gears than someone who uses the move Substitute. I hate substitute. It gives me nothing but crap! All I want to do is beat the living daylights out of my opponent's Pokemon. But NO! Substutute! Then that player feels free to spam that skill for god knows how long dragging the battle on and on and on hoping that you'll get bored and just quit. Then they have the nerve to try to put you to sleep dragging the battle for even longer. I know that some people like battles to have 50+ turns. But I absolutely hate it. What makes matters worse is that my oppoonent ends up losing anyway. . . . WHAT THE PSYDUCK WAS THE POINT???????? You didn't even win? You just wasted my fricken time when I could have played 3-4 other rounds? You had the darn nerve to spam Substitute, and you weren't even good at it. *Sigh* Check out this battle: 8R4W-WWWW-WW2WG3LX Let me share some advice about Sub: Sub Spammers are Noobs If you are gonna spam subs, don't be predictable If you are going to spam sub, don't do it in front of a Pokemon with the ability Pressure. Are you fricking retarded? Do you need a fricken cat scan or something? Okay, rant over. What is your most hated Move, ability, or gimmicky build? |
Scald because it's a broken move.

>calls sub user retarded May I call Scald, Knock Off, and Lando-T to the stand? |
- Scald
- Knock Off - Pixelate - Shadow Tag |
I hate ferrothorn!
I hate it more when my fire type gets killed. #hate ferrothorn |
Fucking Focus Blast. Its 70% accuracy can really screw you over considering so many Pokemon need it. I also hate Scald because of its stupid burn rate.
|
- Rock Slide
- Fake Out - Encore - Rock Slide |

Anyway, one of my most hated moves is Thunder Wave coming from Prankster Thundurus. As an offensive player, my mojo gets thrown off when one of my fast attackers gets crippled. |
If I'm using a move, it's gotta be Focus Blast. It misses way too much to provide reliable coverage.
If I'm up against a move, it's gotta be Pixilated Hyper Voice, Scald, anything that inflicts status, or hazards. |

Swagger. It pisses me off more than ever. It's nice to get an attack boost and all but I am very unlucky when it comes to confusion. VERY unlucky.
|
Scald can fuck right off along with its other broken brethren, Shadow Tag, full paralysis, and Swagger.
|
Protect in combination with toxic and wish.Damn it.I hate that move in general,but when used in this combination it can make me rage quit the battle.
|
The move I have the most trouble dealing with is magic coat. It doesn't come up often, and it sometimes fails, but when it works, it can be a game changer.
Magic bounce reflects status moves like willow wisp, thunder wave, stealth rock, probably roar, and toxic. |
Zapdos with HP Ice, Roost, Thunderbolt, Fire Blast.
|
Anything that is luck based so I say:
- All confusion moves (confuse ray, swagger, flatter etc.) - Evasion moves - Critical hits in general - Focus Miss is probably my most hated move ever cause some pokémon really need it but can't use it well cause of the poor accuracy |
I second Evasion moves, specifically Double Team. It's extremely unfair and annoying when you can't even land a single hit on the opponent.
|
has already been said, but scald is ridiculous. a 100% accurate 80 base power move is already nice, and burn on its own is really nice (that's why people will use the notoriously inaccurate will-o-wisp, after all), so combining both into one move is just ridiculous. i liked karpman's description that it messes up the balance of the type chart. people often bring up lava plume and discharge, but fire-types double as will-o-wisp absorbers, and they resist lava plume. they are weak to scald. as for discharge, electric- and ground-types offer great ways to take BOTH the attack AND the secondary effect. very few pokemon exist that can take scald as a water attack and deal with the burn. it also has a ton of low opportunity cost abusers like slowbro (and slowbro-mega), keldeo, manaphy, keldeo, and keldeo. it's the worst.
honorable mentions to knock off, u-turn, and v-create. |

As for moves, subs are annoying but I mean, there's ways to deal with them. Taunt. Encore. Sound moves. Status, since if they have to use sub every turn they're probably not healing enough to do it sustainably. I probably have a loathing for hyper voice because of pixellate too. |
idk why all the -ate abilities give a +30% boost when everything that gets those abilities gets STAB on the moves too
|
I'm with Rob on not being a fan of confusion and critical hits since they always bite me badly in a battle. I also don't like how Focus Blast misses literally every single time I use the move, that accuracy is just the worst.
Paralysis and flinch hax are also not fun when you're on the receiving end of it. It's a reason to fear the likes of Togekiss and Jirachi, who are masters of that strategy. |
When I'm using anything less than 100% accuracy, I swear, it misses every time.
Just today I got a double miss from rock slide and missed half the time with meteor mash and zen headbutt. |
Scald is really annoying- especially on bulky mons because if you dont KO them, they will burn you.
|
Honestly, nothing pisses me off more in a battle than when someone pulls out the paralysis.
|
Nothing annoys me more than when your against an opponent full of tank pokes, your just about to kill one after many turns of dealing next to no damage at all when........FACKING RECOVER! or Slack off or any HP gaining move that recovers half your HP.....one damn tank is all it takes to completely ruin my day, because either my pokemon are super effective against it and do no damage anyway, or i try the same tactic and its then a case of who has the most PP.
Healing moves are the bane of my life, yet at the same time are also my greatest asset. |
