What is the most forgettable move?

Didn't know that there was a move called Barrage, remember getting this move from Metronome while I was playing D/P, and did not know who learned it. Apparently, the move is part of Exeggute line, and they do not gain any stab from the move. :p .. The others are Kinsesis, Tri-Attack, Octazooka, Minimize.

There's a move called Quash? I'd heard of most of the other ones (including Present), but that was the only one thus far that I had to completely look up. I guess I'd forgotten about the Murkrow line in general... never used one, so would never really come into contact with that particular move.

I don't know about Squash but know one that is quite similar: Crush Grip. It's the signature move of Regigigas. I saw that move only once in the anime. You can see that move if you face a Regigigas in any fourth gen game (soul silver)

The move that I forget is the Destiny Bond. Pretty handy but it has got it's own tricks -.-
 
For me it's Slam. Basically the aborted fetus of Body Slam not to mention inferior in nearly every single possible way in comparison.
 
I didn't even know Quash was a move until I looked inside of this thread and I had to confirm it and it is a move.

Other moves I forget: Howl, Haze and Rage Powder, I knew I used Howl in the Pokemon Contest a lot, just don't seem why I would forget it.

Spike Cannon. The best 2–5 hit move to my knowledge, and I might be inclined to use it — I've just never really used a monster that learns it.

Present on their Delib-- well, who even USES Delibird in the first place?

I used Delibird for a good while once... or twice, not sure. I like it so Present is always memorable to me.
 
Flamethrower, Dragon Claw, Earthquake, Stone Edge, Surf for me...

Nah gammin, but seriously maybe:
- Kinesis
- Lovely Kiss
- Triple Kick
- Conversion 2
- Role Play
 
Frustration gets ignored over Return because simply walking around reduces Frustration's power...

Most of the new 5th gen moves are forgettable for me since I still stick with the old standby power moves like ice Beam and Thunderbolt, which makes things like Frost Breath and Wild Charge obsolete, at least IMO.

Rolling Kick.

This. It's been around since generation I, but I'm pretty sure I haven't used it a single time yet. Other Pokemon than Hitmonlee - including Delibird, at least for me - have memorable signature moves, but this is just "just another kick move", and I'm pretty sure it's not really good either.

Also, I don't think I remember more than two or three gen V moves. There's that Wotter shell thing, the electric U-Turn and ...? I really have no idea.

You mean Razor Shell and Volt Switch.

Another move that I find forgettable is Magic Room, it's sort of exclusive to Gothita, Gothorita and Gothitelle.
 
I guess my list would be...

Quash
Present
Techno Blast
Magma Storm
Octazooka
Kinesis
Role Play

Since they've been mentioned here & I don't remember them! There are probably others, but they're forgettable so guess what? I've forgotten them!

Can't believe some of the ones mentioned though... Razor Shell's pretty good! My Samurott still has it.
 
I'd say Astonish; the only time I ever see that move in use is when it's being used by a low level Lotad. All it serves to do is make lotad useless against normal types (Which is very common early game.)
 
Wow, when I read the first post I was like what on earth is barrage? And I've been playing since R/B/Y. It's definitely that. Growl/Leer/Vine Whip aren't even forgettable. -.-
 
Splash! Most useless move ever, no question about that. It's also a signature move too! Others include Present, Mud Slap, Sketch, Power Swap, Skill Swap.

I can remember going against the wild Mewtwo that's found in Cerulean Cave and it would SPAM Power Swap and Skill Swap constantly! I was able to put it to sleep with a level 39 Stantler, and it never killed it. In reality, I don't see a point in those two moves....
 
Quash, Drill Run, Chatter, Present , Most early game stuff lie Growl,Leer.
People rarely use them,for example I have never heard of Quash before checking this thread
 
I see Magic Room as forgettable, it's sort of the signature move of Gothita/Gothorita/Gothitelle.

When my Gothitelle wanted to learn it, she didn't really need it.

If you don't know about this move, it disables the effect of held items for a few turns.
 
Crab Hammer, Vice Grip.. pretty much any of the Kingler only stuff. Don't see many pokes that use Wood Hammer either.. Magnet Rise..
