Most useless move in the game?

Yeah, I agree with aj624. I never found stat moves helpful...

Endure is pointless. You're wasting a move so you can survive the hit on the current turn. Why?! So you can get KO'd on the next turn rather than the current one? Wouldn't it make more sense to just try to get a move in just in case you survive it without Endure?

Use it to harass with small Toxic damage or activate pinch-berries when you don't want to Sub chain, otherwise, little use.

Umm about Flatter.
It's designed for pokemon who use physical attacks, because then they recieve no bonus in damage if they DON'T hit themselves and manage to get an attack past confusion..
But I think the most useless attack is Whirlpool if you're talking Gen 2 or Waterfall if this is only Gen 4.
I'm not going to go check right now, but aren't there only two places to use Waterfall? Plus the ever annoying HM deletion.
(I'm playing Pearl, not Platnium)

Whirlpool is a trapper; could be useful in some unique UU battle with annoyers.
Waterfall is the best Physical Water-type attack in the game.

That's called SubSeeding. Uses Leech Seed, not Leech Life.

Stat moves are the best moves in the game. Agility and Swords Dance will mess up your team badly if you don't have a counter; even if you have a super-high defense, a 6+ Swords Dance REALLY hurts (yes, that's FOUR times your total ATK).

Sandstorm if you have a shedninja, and defog is useful for evasion clauses, it brings down their evasion, so instead of missing every time you have to something to help you hit

Shedinja sucks; he has too many weaknesses -- Sandstorm on the other hand is one of the best moves in the game because it raises Rock-types' S.DEF, damages the foe (that small damage really adds up), grants Pokemon like Garchomp Sand Veil, cripples Morning Sun, Moonlight, and Synthesis, and if you time it right... Hoho 3 turn Solarbeam FTL.

You're a prick if you raise your Evasion in battles anyway : /
Use sure-hit moves instead as well.
 
Harrharr.. Every move has its own special use. They all have a way to help SOMEONE. No matter what move you say, it will be countered by another person because there will always a be a scenario where you will need that move.

Maybe not Splash though, butyou can't promote splash as one of the attacks.
 
Mud and Water sports... if they are useful in double battles trainers in the game doesn't use them xD they use it in single ones xD
 
tbh, I partially disagree with what I said earlier on further thought; most single-stat raising moves are completely useless outside of Bibarel's Defense Curl and the double stat-augmenting moves like Calm Mind.

Confuse Ray is better in every single way.

Also Defog can be useful for getting rid of spikes, etc..

Lots of moves are terrible. Try countering Flatter or Contrict.
 
Most useless move?
Probably Astonish in my opinion, it seems pointless and does like no damage, so yeah.
 
Hmm...
I would of said splash but in that case i would say...

Helping hand i never understood that move.

Definitely transform. How the heck is using an infernape against an infernape going to help?

I don't know, maybe so it can use Earthquake and OHKO it.

The move with the magnifying glass.....I forget its name.
 
splash sucks
so do stat raising and stat lowering moves
they just get you killed
 
I agree with everybody else so far, and i would like to add HELPING HAND to the list. Its useless unless you're in a double battle, and i only double battle when forced to. When I do double battle, its basically the only move your partner knows or wastes time putting out a move that doesn't do anything noticably helpful.

Defog removes Spikes / Stealth Rock, etc. on YOUR OPPONENT'S SIDE not yours, a.k.a. helping your enemy.
