Most useless move in the game?

[Charmeleon>charizard]

What do you think the most useless move in the game is? splash doesn't count!

 

[Demigod]

If you count moves other then attacks then.. "Run"

 

[SethMetal37]

I would have to say lucky chant

 

[Shadow Chaos]

Memento. D|

Except when the last opposing Pokemon in the Battle Frontier uses it. 8D

 

[Fenrir Reki]

Perish Song. Its sort of cheap in a way but can easily be avoided.

 

[mukkamukka]

Dragon rage.

Because no matter what you always hit a 30. It is annoying. The other moves let you hit more or less each time but for Dragon Rage its the same 30 less hp each time. What if you versus a really tank sort of pokemon like snorlax and it has over 200hp. If all you use is dragon rage it could be a while till yuo beat it

 

[Gymnotide]

Mud Sport.

It does 40 damage. This is like hell in low level battles, especially if you breed it onto a Horsea or a Charmander and do Level 1 only battles >_<

I'd have to say the crappiest move is definitely Baton Pass- or at least as much as I know about it. Does it do anything other than just switching out your pokemon?

And even if Perish Song is cheap, a lot of the time the enemies are too nubbish to do anything about it XD

Say you upped the attack of a certain Pokemon that has Baton Pass, and then you used the move to switch to another Pokemon, those status changes move onto the new Pokemon.

 

[Shadow Chaos]

Mud Sport used by a Geodude.

It can't even get hit by Electric attacks to begin with... >_>;

 

[pokejungle]

I saw poison sting or fury attack. Gah :|

It kills me when I have to train a weedle or zubat and that's all they have.

 

[Charmeleon>charizard]

Just realized i didnt state mine! I think the most useless move in the history of pokemon is...!

Lucky chant. i mean seriously, what the hell man? the odds of critical hits are so low as it is, why bother lowering it even more at the expense of a turn? seriously...

 

[SethMetal37]

Well Im glad someone agrees with me, my point exactly, I mean whats the chance of a critical hit landing in that small window of 5 turns

 

[Myles]

I guess Lucky Chant is to stop people from using Focus Energy + Razor Claw + Slash (50% chance). I still think its useless though.

 

[Negative Zero]

Mud Sport, since it's almost always on ground-types.

Edit: Whoops, someone beat me to it.

 

[zarithron]

most useless one.. would have to be... dragon pulse :) why? CUZ I FLIPPIN SAID SO >=D jk haha :P becuase my lucario cant one shot a garados with it D:<

The entire competitive battling center would like to have a word with you...

Anyways, I'd have to say...Rocksmash. Until generation IV, it had a power of 20 (and even now, 40 isn't something to hold your breath at), it's chances of lowering the foe's defense are not worth wasting an entire turn, much less a move slot to use it, and just when you want to get rid of it for an uber kewl move that you spent an hour leveling your poke up just to learn...

That move can't be forgotten yet!

-.-
​

Time to catch another poke to get another heart scale, then fly to Canclave to the move Un-learner, then fly to Pastoria to the move Re-learner and reteach that move...

*Bashes head against wall*

[empty streets]

Splash xD
It's really does NOTHING.

 

[Alternative]

Flatter is really useless.

It ups the target's Special Attack and make it confused.
hitting yourself in confusion is Physical, so I deem the move, Flatter, useless.

The only use I can think of for it is for a double battle with your partner, if your partner has a Lum Berry. ._. I think whoever thought up the move Flatter, just copied Swagger without actually knowing what it was for.
