So in lots of Role Playing games (Final Fantasy, etc) Using healing moves on undead nemies results in the target getting hurt, SO, do you think Pokemon should have done this too and made Heal Pulse hurt Ghost type pokemon? Sure it would be awful for your ghost team mates, but would be pretty useful when facing opponent ghosts.

On a side note, I'm very surprised to find out that Heal Pulse gets reflected back to you when used on Magic Bounce and Magic Coat using pokemon. Now I really want my Clawitzer to face an Espeon! :D
Need a specific Berry? I have literally every kind. Need a Friend Safari HA pokemon? I have them all. Need a gen 1 - 3 (and a few from gen 4) Move Tutor Egg Move that can no longer be obtained? I might be able to help. Drop me a DM if you need anything and maybe I can help!

As Platinum said, the move's main intent is Double and Triple Battles, which there are already a lot of moves designed around that format, like After You, Ally Switch and Helping Hand to name a few.

While Single Battle formats are still the biggest thing, please never ever forget that Double and Triple exists! Double Battles have been part of our franchise for over a decade already and Triple Battles haven been introduced to the Pokemon games for five years already, to be precise it's five turning six this year.

Moves and Abilities like Plus, Minus, Symbiosis, Helping Hand, Follow Me, Heal Pulse, etc. are not useless. (:
