    Any moves that messes with your accuracy. Thunder Wave, Spore...Espeically on a Whimscott. Those things are fast. :'(

    And lastly...Attract. I hate getting attract. A 50% chance of attacking?

    ...Most of the time, immobilized by love?

    ...Oh, no, bro. D':

    It's not fast, it just has Prankster, which gives Priority to Status moves

    anything that raises the opponents evasiveness, lowers my accuracy or confuses me really tick me off

    Cynthia's Spiritomb in B/W really made me rage

    Umm...Whimsicott base speed is high...Well, higher than most Pokemon anyways. And yeah, I'm well aware of what Prankster does...That makes status moves just as annoying.

    Encore is 100% my most hated move ever.

    It's made me lose too many games I would've won. =|

    Well I have a particular loathing for any status inducing move being used against me but...

    For whatever reason Attract makes me irrationally angry. Every time it's used against me I just sit there there muttering at the screen something silly about the merits of attacking your loved ones or something equally as ridiculous while not being able to land a single hit.

    I hate Swagger and Flatter. Swagger is a lame name and I hate what they do. Absolutely pointless.

    I also hate String Shot. Early game annoyance.

    ARGH DOUBLE TEAM / MINIMIZE......

    Once I was battling a clefable, and it started stalling me to oblivion by minimizing. Then it started using pound, pound, pound, and before I knew it, my whole entire team was completely swept by one. freaking. Clefable.

    For me, Confuse Ray is definitely there!
    It's like, you're casually walking around a cave and some stupid Zubat decides to confuse you, gaahh. Then you wanna get revenge, so you try to hit it with a really hard move then your Pokemon ends up whacking itself! Grrr. >.<

    I do like confusing others though. ;) ...basically, only when it works in MY favour. Hah.

    And I hate moves like protect! Like seriously! Why do they exist?! -.-'

    ...and poison...don't get me started on poison.

    For me, it's all the flinching moves. Bite, Astonish, and mainly Air Slash. All I remember was Cyrus's Crobat spamming Air Slash on me. :'(

    Attract, Take Down, and anything that caused my Pokémon to fall asleep, get confused, or switch out. The other status problems weren't much of an issue for me.

    Double Team, Especially on an Emolga. They Spam that and they're impossible to hit after that.

    Teleport, only because it's the only move Abra knows til it evolves. Need Exp. Share.
    Actually, You can teach Abra TMs, so technically, it's not the only move he can learn till evolution.

    Quash. It's just a stupid name and it annoys me that they actually made a move with this name, or even a move that does what it does. What's the point?

    What the...? This is a move? Oh gosh, I looked it up and it's even a TM. I mean, TM60 could have been something more useful, like Stealth Rock, even. :/ Only a few Pokemon could even learn this move so.. like... what is this..

    I never saw the point of Struggle Bug. Who would use a weak bug type move when you could use something like Bug Buzz or Megahorn?

    Also I never like those Wide Guard and Quick Guard moves either. They didn't really... do much.

    I hate every move that has even the slightest chance of making my Pokemon miss or not attack. It's just a gigantic waste of time. I mean come on Typhlosion, light stuff on fire already!

    I can deal with status inducing moves, what I can't deal with is powerful attacks, especially critical hits that come out from them, such as Dragon Rush, Earthquake and Dragon Pulse to name a few.
