  • Which pokemon move annoys you the most when used against you?
    Here's my list:

    1. Protect/Detect

    2. Confuse Ray/Supersonic/Swagger/Flatter/Teeter Dance (though I hate Swagger the most)

    3. Toxic/Poison Gas

    4. Rest

    5. Endeavor

    Reasons:
    1. Mostly I used strong moves against an opponent and whenever they use Protect, BAM! 1 PP wasted. It's damaging if you used moves like Hyper Beam when the pokemon uses Protect.

    2. Urrgh, confusion always turns out to be a disaster for me. I rarely actually attack the pokemon when my pokemons confused, it's like my RNG is screwed up or something...

    3. Though poison can be easily cured by Pecha Berrys or Antidotes, I still hate it coz it wastes a turn during battle and I'm forced to take damage for one turn.

    4. Rest, to my opinion is considered cheap. As you all know, its a move that the enemy gains full hp and goes to sleep. Cmon, full hp restoration? Isn't that a bit too cheap? Worse, most trainers whom I fight have a pokemon with rest happen to always hold chesto berries T.T

    5. Endeavor literally blasts away your hp given that the opponent has less hp than you. Ever heard of the F.E.A.R tactic? Well some of my friends use it which is extremely damaging... Basically they send out a weak pokemon with Focus Sash who can learn Endeavor and Quick Attack (Rattata for instance). Then should you reduce the rattata to one hp, the Rattata uses Endeavor... BAM! 1 hp left.
    Next round, one quick attack and you're gone. How unfair is that?

    I hate moves like Rest and Recover, because they drive me absolutely nuts after I spend a good ten minutes whittling a defensive Pokemon's HP down (mainly Snorlax and Chansey/Blissey) and they use a HP-recovery move. x_X

  • It's not unfair... It's tactical. >_>

    But yeah, it's annoying. I hate Serene Grace + Headbutt/Air Slash/Iron Head but love it when I use it. :D

  • Whichever moves cause the following to appear on my screen:

    "___ is infatuated with enemy___!"
    "___ is confused!" often followed by "It hurt itself in its confusion!"
    "The foe's___ protected itself!"
    "The foe's___ recovered HP!"

    OHKO moves that actually get a hit. Its unfair when you had the advantage to strategy.

  • While hax can be annoying, I don't mind it as much. What really bugs me are those moves banned by standard rules. That's Fissure, Horn Drill, Guillotine, Sheer Cold, Double Team, and sleep moves used after one member of my team is already asleep.

    I don't care if it's in-game or not. It's annoying. ^^

  • Pretty much Rest and Recover. Also Focus Punch, since when a Pokemon hits you while it's charging, you get owned by the opposing Pokemon since you can't move. Sand-Attack mildly annoys me because of the accuracy loss, Swagger because it confuses and Protect/Detect because *actual scene* my Crobat once used Fly on a Fighting-type, but before he could attack, the Pokemon (I think Hitmontop) used it. It annoys me way too much. T_T

  • Recover, Rest, Protect, Detect and Rollout are all the biggest on my list. If I find you grinning after using Protect for the sixth time, your smile will have a few holes in it after a couple of moments.

    Protect/Detect tops my list by far (Pelipper and Meditite, I'm glaring at you)

    Confusion moves are annoying, but I have a Yellow Flute in Emerald, so basically any sorry NPC that wants to use Swagger just sealed their own demise. Confuse Ray is annoying because nothing good comes out of it, and it's often found on Pokemon that irritate me anyway.

    Rest/Recover/etc. are bothersome, but I don't see them often enough to get miffed when they're used.

    EDIT: Oh, and Roar/Whirlwind. Whether I'm trying to catch a Pokemon that's already trouble or whether I'm fighting an NPC and have to have the Exp. Points divided up more than I want them to be, those moves are just all-around irksome.

    Then having played a lot of times on Netbattle, I tell you mine:
    1) Substitute + Calm Mind Leggendary
    2) Curse + Snorlax
