Moves that annoy you

[Brendino]

The first thing that came to mind was Protect/Detect. They serve really no purpose other than delaying the battle by a turn (although I could see it being useful in combination with something like Toxic).

Also, anything that boosts evasion/lowers accuracy gets annoying, as it seems to work a lot better for CPU players than it does humans.

 

[Ultimate Uchiha]

Anything that causes confusion because apparently I have extremely bad luck with confusion and my pokemon end up hurting themselves for like 5 straight turns everytime they get confused.

 

[Draconicsoul]

I'm kind of surprised that no body has said Nature Power yet. It's one of the many moves that makes the Seedot line almost impossible for me to use. Since most battles take place in grass, you'd think that it would turn into something useful, right? Right? But nooo, it turns into Stun Spore. I'm not sure if it's been changed since Gen III, but I kind of doubt it.

 

[LapLace1500]

All status inflicting moves. Specifically when someone uses Hypnosis and decides to go all "I'm gonna eat yo dreams!" on me. And I hate Double Team. Whenever someone uses that I don't really care, then they spam it continuously and you can't hit them once. I hate Thunder Wave on wi-fi battles. It's usually the first move they decide to use and it's annoying if their Pokemon is really fast ._.

 

[Haseyo]

Also, and probably because I NEVER expect it to be in a competitive setting, Pursuit. I mean really, who does that?

I saw it coming because all people do is swap over and over and over. In-game, trainers NEVER switch unless they cannot deal any damage at all (Bidoof vs Haunter for example, and all it has is normal type moves) so it's pretty useless.

As for Protect, trainers use it to escape the inevitable death, but competitively it's used to stall out a status effect or scoping out moves, so I can understand it there.

I used to have all 4 attacking moves, but then I realized how open I left all of my Pokemon to just about anything. Now I always have at least 1 status effect / stat buff or debuff, with one or two moves. It makes the game so much easier, especially burning something physical or para-haxing something fast.

 

[Michielleus]

annoying moves?
hm....

Confuse ray.
Attract.
Thunder Wave.
supersonic.
and focus blast missing for the 152th time in a row. >.<

 

[Elite Overlord LeSabre™]

Double Team, Protect, Detect, Sand Attack. They're just cheap.

Status condition and confusion-inducing moves, especially the accurate ones like Spore, Confuse Ray, and Thunder Wave. I hate status conditions. It's so annoying having to put up with them, and then having to waste items getting rid of them after the fight.

Powerful, inaccurate moves. Because they never hit when I use them but always hit when an opponent does. Especially in the Battle Frontier.

 

[Chaos Dragon]

I don't like any move that is +60% status-inducing and I think they should all be nerfed.

But aside from that? Well anything increasing/decreasing ACC/EVA I will find myself annoyed by and moves like Protect? Well you're only making me waste 1PP on you and delaying the inevitable.

 

[Keyaki]

Inaccurate moves (When the opponent gets them hitting perfectly everytime when you miss EVERYTIME)

-Fixed.

Para-hax are clearly the most annoying thing ever.

Especially when you're the one constantly locked down but the opponent isn't if he/she's paralyzed.

You use Sand Attack 6 times, they land a Blizzard.
You get hit by Sand Attack once, you miss Tackle three times in a row.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

Anyway, I can't think of any that's already been mentioned but....

Hurricane. I HATE that move. It seemed like when I was training to beat Alder every strong Swanna or Whimsicott I battled had Hurricane and would rape my Emboar with it, even if I was battling them with a different Pokemon, it would still do a lot of damage. To make things worse, it confused my Pokemon have the time.

 

[Renegade1]

Endure
Protect
Etc etc

Any moves that basically nullifies my winning the battle or prolonging it.

 

[SupremeSeeker]

Basically anything that stops you from attacking and your Pokemon's status like poisoned, paralysed, asleep, etc. Also one hit KOs!

 

[Zayphora]

Volt Switch on non-electric Pokemon. I use Water types a lot and that thing is just annoying.

 

[Isаbella]

There are two moves that I really hate: Sand Attack, because even if I get it by it once, I manage to miss for the next seven turns. Protect, because it's just a waste of time.

 

[pokedevil]

Anything that induces sleep. Especially since when I use it I'm lucky if it lasts two turns, but when my pokemon is asleep it lasts indefinitely (thank God for Pokeflute).

Enemies that spam Harden or Defensive Curl, just because it takes forever to kill them.

And Electrode/Voltorb and it's Sonicboom, bypassing my Onix's defense and pwning a pokemon it shouldn't stand a chance against.

 

[Charicific]

1) -Protect
2) -Toxic
3) -The combination of both 1 & 2
4) -Thunder Wave
5) -Minimize (with Chansey)

............Despicable moves :( (yet I am the one who uses them ....)

 

[Jellicent♀]

Confuse Ray, Attract, Dig, Fly, Protect, Detect, Endure, Reflect, Light Screen, Smokescreen, Double Team, Toxic, Dragon Dance, Thunderwave, Surf (gen 4-5).

Those are pretty much it. I hate using Surf in a double/triple battle due to it also damaging your own Pokemon, as well, now. :c
Dragon Dance is just annoying when used against you, because they get faster. I hate things being faster than me. ;;
I hate Fly and Dig when they're faster than me, because my move will miss if I go second. ;;

 

[fiOWNya]

Flash. Because, in the older games at least, you had to have it and it did nothing useful in battle. At least all the other HMs did some damage. :)

 

[Rivvon]

Double Team and Spore. You can't hit them, or you can't move. Nothing feels worse than absolute helplessness in battle.

 

[T!M]

Swagger.

Especially when I'm using a Special Attacker such as KADABRA. Raise my attack, whoopdy freaking doo.

 

[The Grubby Pup]

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':
