    Pokemon has had a lot of moves that have some strange effects. Give us some of your favorites, whether they are good move effects, rather useless, or just plain weird. Here are some of my favorites:

    - Smelling Salts: OK this move is horrid, but it's interesting in that BP doubles if the target is paralyzed, but it then cures paralysis

    - Foul Play

    - Power Swap: I think it's a gimmick but it could be a cool way to give an opponent your bad stat changes after Leaf Storm/Overheat/Draco Meteor/Close Combat/etc. or a way to screw a setup sweeper on your opponent's team

    - Knock Off (one of my favorites since it was introduced, especially now that it's much more viable)
     
    My favourite's pay day, although I usually have enough money to buy stuff, it's a pretty cool idea to have a move which gives you extra money, and it suits Meowth perfectly.
