Most Annoying Moves
 
What is the most annoying move in battle? I think that attract is becasue it doesn't stop until one pokemon faints and there is no way to stop it(unless the pokemon are the same gender).

I hate the following moves:
1-follow me-only works in a double battle...and is stupid
2-splash-waste of space
3-Role Play and Trick-both switch something, both are horrible
4-Focus Punch-despite the raw power, which I love, if you don't somehow go first, your bound to flinch and the turn was a waste...

Hmmm...I believe this would be better off in the General Games Discussion since you're mainly talking about annnoying moves from the video games. :33 Sooo, I'll like, move it there for you. XD

*moves*

I'd have to say either protect, or in the older games, wrap.

Charizard_Fire_God July 22nd, 2005 3:23 PM

Protect, Detect, an' any move that gives a status effect. >_<

The Fallen July 22nd, 2005 3:38 PM

I hate Confuse ray, wrap, and Fire Spin. They bug so much.

♥Naomi♥ July 22nd, 2005 3:45 PM

i think leach life,that ish annoying!

leafgreen386 July 24th, 2005 2:33 PM

Why don't you try any accuracy dropping move and any evasion boosting move on for size? And Hyper Beam. More n00bs use that move than I can count, and it's one of the worst moves in the game.

Ever heard of the SubPunch combo? Also, FP always goes last in round.

my opinion:
confuse ray: a good move and a bad one. but i hate it when they use it on me, then i throw a tantrum. (lol)
double team: can't you use foresight on it and it will prevent double team?
protect: i don't like it because i use an attack and it's about to faint, then it uses protect, all it's doing is delaying the inevitable.
and the worst move is (drumroll) the f-u! i mean, its just throwing a uy off your shoulders, it's stupid, in my opinion.

RSL July 25th, 2005 4:41 PM

F-u? What does that mean?

Anyway, Protect/Detect are moves I don't like. i don't use 'em, and I don't like it whne opponents use it. Plain and simple.

Chiru July 25th, 2005 5:58 PM

Protect/Detect are the most annoying to me. They really don't have a point unless a pokemon with a power like Pressure uses them (in an effort to drain the opponent's PP). Even then I'd rather use something like Double team. Body slam annoys me too. *shakes fist at paralysis* I also don't like moves like constrict and rock smash. I dunno, it just bugs me that they only do like 5 damage. It's a waste of an attack. And confuse ray. I think that's it :P

Crystal Clair July 25th, 2005 6:50 PM

I think quite a few attacks are super annoying
any hypnosis move: it's not bad when you have Awakening but the PokeFlute's song is too long.
protect: mostly in Ruby for me. Ugh, it wastes a turn. Most commonly seem on Pelipper in my game
minimize: in Leafgreen at Koga's gym, I kept losing to that stupid Muk of his mainly becasue it could use Minimize. A friend even gave me his Charizard for the battle and I still lost! But now that's over with. I forgot how I got over that obstacle.
Fury swipes or any attack that has multiple strikes are annoying because sometimes they last five freaking times and I freak out because the animations seem to go on forever and I hate seeing the hp level drop slowly. It's like torture!

Random Plushie July 25th, 2005 9:51 PM

Protect is THE most annoying move for me. X.x
For the past eight months (yes, I kept track XD ), at least one Pokemon has used Protect against me every time I've played my Emerald. Very, very sad.. o.O

kohei July 26th, 2005 2:19 AM

Rain Dance and Sunny Day. Altough they arn't bad moves, the effects which come after the end of every turn are just annoying and a waste of time.

Dratini927 July 30th, 2005 10:53 AM

Attract and Confusion are the most annoying for me. When I get attracted, always with my luck, I always get immobilized, and I always take so much unwated damage. And with Confuse Ray, it's the same thing with my luck because I always hurt myself. :P It's not like the worst time when I was training my Kingdra in Colosseum in the Deep Colo area...I got Attracted, Confused, and Thunder Waved. Somehow I ended up winning...but that was after...literally...15 minutes of battling 1 Pokemon @[email protected]

Virtual Headache August 3rd, 2005 1:56 PM

All moves that confuse my Pokémon are really annoying.
I also hate the ones that decrease my accuracy *sigh*

It is not relevent to Pokémon in any way. The F-U is a stupid wrestling move belonging to John Cena(My little cousin is obcessed with John Cena so that's how I know). Shoudln't waste time watching wrestling. Although Pokémon is a waste of time too if you think about, but it's rather enjoying too.

And Sunny Day/Rain Dance is not an annoying move if you just turn off the battle scene. It's an extrememly useful move that can give alot of moves an advantage in battle.

Timbjerr August 3rd, 2005 6:26 PM

With my annoyer-heavy battle style, I like to use most of the attacks listed here. I believe Toxic or Will-o-Wisp are pretty annoying, but they can be healed with items (at least in-game...battle Tower and competitive battling are different). It gets really annoying when one of your opponents use spike, and then lower your accuracy/put you to sleep/confuse you/attract you to force a switch...

jc_rcw August 3rd, 2005 6:29 PM

i think double team and any move that counfuses a pokemon.

wishirulz August 10th, 2005 6:43 PM

#1-spash wth is it fore is it a joke cause its not funny

#3-double team is a total wast of sace
#4-tunt what a wast it does nothing good !!!
#5-flash omg its good only like once in the whole game

Taunt is actually pretty useful against buffers but in ingame playing it's a waste of space
Poison gas (I mean common does a normal poisoning with a pretty low accuracy what a waste)
Skill swap and trick suck at ingame playing
Blizzard, Hydro pump, Fire blast and Thunder I mean common all these moves have much better counter parts (Ice beam (better accuracy, only a little weaker and more pp, Flamethrower (same reason as above), Surf (Same reason yet again, thunderbolt yet again the same reason, the only situation where thunder is better than thunderbolt is when you have rain dance on)
Solar beam two turn attacks SUCK! you should only use solarbeam if your pokemon has clorophyl and sunny day is on.

Datriot August 17th, 2005 2:50 AM

I hate Rest, expecially if you're trying to catch a Pokemon! You have it at low HP and then it goes and uses Rest! Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dr. Master August 18th, 2005 12:05 AM

to me its the stupid THUNDER WAVE

Signomi August 18th, 2005 1:05 AM

I dislike Thunder Wave aswell, but I really dislike Splash, Confuse Ray and Protect/Detect, they're all ebil >-< but not when you have them ^_^ Except for Splash though...pointless move..

Not when Counter is used.

Anyways, I detest Confuse Ray (Sweet Kiss even more), Attract, and Thunder Wave, and I loathe when Admin Venus uses them all at the same time! I detest when the computer uses Protect/Detect because it managed to use it four times in a row. I also dislike OHKO moves when the computer uses them... because they're INSANELY lucky.
