Learn or Forget (2nd edition)

[ReKoil]

Forget

Earth Power ?

 

[VisionofMilotic]

Learn, if you are a special-attacking ground type like gastrodon then this would be your best stab option usually.

Lunar dance?

 

[ReKoil]

Forget, far too situational for me.

Muddy Water?

 

[Zeostar]

Forget. It's unique but it's just worse Surf. Especially in gen 3 when it even has the same animation.

Hyper Beam?

 

[Sweet Serenity]

Forget

Drill Run?

 

[PageEmp]

I'd rather have Earthquake especially since Drill run does not have many mons that can learn it. But nothing wrong with it so Learn.

Hail

 

[ReKoil]

Forget. I prefer setting up weather through abilities.

Anchor Shot ?

 

[Sweet Serenity]

Learn

Gunk Shot

 

[ReKoil]

Normally a forget, but my Grafaiai actually landed nearly every one of them during my Violet playthrough.
I'll hesitantly learn.

Cross Poison ?

 

[Devalue]

Learn. A solid poison move. Hits a little weaker than Poison Jab, but with a better critical chance. Roughly evens out.

Interesting note: Appears to be unobtainable in Scarlet/Violet at the moment. Learns it by level-up solely on Eternatus. Acquires it as an egg move on Shroodle/Grafaiai.

No Retreat?

 

[XVanitasX]

Forget. A useless move that not only traps you into a battle, but can also only be learned by a terrible Pokemon that definitely cannot become useful even with a +1 boost to all of its stats. Jaw Lock is better in every way.

Parting Shot?

 

[ReKoil]

Never used it. Seems like a waste of a move slot.

Slash?

 

[Zeostar]

Learn (most likely short term).

Strength?

 

[ReKoil]

Learn. Solid move for Normal types ever since it's no longer an HM.

Power-Up Punch?

 

[Sweet Serenity]

Forget

Psycho Cut?

 

[Sheep]

Learn, most likely!

Sonicboom

 

[ReKoil]

It can be good early game, but after that it's a Forget.

Rock Slide ?

 

[Sweet Serenity]

Learn, definitely

Dragon Dance?

 

[ReKoil]

Generally a Learn.

Pay Day ?

 

[Sheep]

Meh, forget! Not particularly useful for me.
