Most useless move in the game?

[Myles]

I still have no idea what Helping Hand does... owo I think it's useless, and I don't get it. @w@

In a double battle, it raises the partner's move's power by 50% for the turn.

 

[spann3rman]

Fient. i don't see the point in that move -.-

 

[Maiev]

Most useless move in the game? =/

It'd be definitely splash. There's nothing going to happen when your gonna use that stupid attack! >:

 

[Gymnotide]

PROTIP: Breed Splash onto Kingdra and use PP Max.

edit Grudge because almost all of the Pokemon who can learn it can also learn Destiny Bond (save for Vulpix and Ninetales)... Destiny Bond even has more Pokemon that learn it than Grudge.

Worry Seed is also pretty bad.
Camouflage does the same thing each time in battle arena : |
Feint NEVER works.
Foresight, Miracle Eye, Odor Sleuth and the like are completely worthless, especially in competitive.

This has already been said, but my vote would go to mud sport/water sport. Besides that is the whole Stockpile, Swallow, Spit up routine. Its a big pain.

the most useless move in the game, for me trick room
the pokemon that uses the move doesnt really get a kick out of it that much

 

[RocketAdmin.]

Grudge! I've never understood that move ¬¬

And feint's pretty darn stupid too (x

 

[Sydian]

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..

I was aware of that, but even with that going on, it's still a useless move. Why even bother raising special attack if it's not used? Confuse Ray is perfectly fine and Flatter shouldn't exist.

Bronzong would like a word with you. It's a great move to make a team around, especially since I've seen many teams based on speedy leads. As long as you set up correctly...

Thunder Fang, Ice Fang and Fire Fang mainly because the punches are better(I know there useful but 95% get Real!!!!)

And Cut Id rather use Rock Smash.

 

[Amu]

Growl. It's so pointless, I don't care if it lowers/raises stats, no one uses it anymore. :/​

 

[Meepman]

Probably fake out, it's so weak and just wastes time.
EDIT: On second thought maybe swift because it's weak and horribly outclassed by faint attack, the rain dance thunder combo, aerial ace etc..

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

Not if you use mean look or spider web. :badsmile: Besides I sorta view that move as more of a way to force the enemy to switch out if there using a bunch of stat reducing or raising moves.

Thunder Fang, Ice Fang and Fire Fang mainly because the punches are better(I know there useful but 95% get Real!!!!)

Yeah but my Tyranitar can't learn the punches at the move relearner.

 

[Brendonwii]

Helping hand cause i dont do 2 on 2 battles

 

[CrazyCarretta]

Any move on a starter Pokemon for me. Tail whip, Growl, etc I never use them anyways

 

[Bobby Emerald]

Tackle. That 95% accuracy offends me.

I lol'd.

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.

I still have no idea what Helping Hand does... owo I think it's useless, and I don't get it. @w@

Helping Hand works in Double Battles, obviously. It's especially good if you want one of your pokemon to sweep 2 pokemon of the opposing team in one turn. Say one of your pokemon uses Helping Hand on your other one...then that other one uses something like Rock Slide. Assuming the foes are not resistant to rock type moves, a move like that will do a lot of damage.

Grudge! I've never understood that move ¬¬

Well, if one of your pokemon knows this move and is about to faint, due to, let's say a super effective move, (Genger with Grudge, attacked by a Honchkrow with Night Slash) Gengar uses Grudge and faints, then Honchkrow's Night Slash isn't useable anymore (PP goes down to zero). It will be a life saver if your next pokemon to send out is, say, an Alakazam.

And Cut Id rather use Rock Smash.

The fang attacks are for pokemon who can't punch.

 

[Aberbecam]

Well every moves are useful one way or the other.
And if you say which move do i think is most useless?
Splash doesn't count so i would saw Roar.
But splash is the most useless out of them all. xD
