Is Hyper Beam really that bad?

[Fr0st]

Hyper beam leaves Slaking sitting there for the second turn while it can use return in a hit-and-run form. Wiser Netbattlers use Return>Hyper Beam on slacking as well.

I completely agree with all Hyper Beam was great in R/B/Y as the "last legs" attack before your pokemon was about to drop dead. But now....its nothingness, Return owns it.

And about Fly.....two words....Drill Peck.

HB is not even good on slaking.He needs the chance to switch which the recharge turn denies him.
