Worst moves in Pokemon?

[MaliciousMango]

What are the worst of the worst, the unusable, the moves that you would never even think of putting on your pokemon?

Splash would be too obvious.

Frustration. Same power as Return, but with a catch. Your pokemon actually have to HATE you in order to get that max damage. But here's the thing: You know how your friendship rises?


Walking. It is nearly impossible to keep that perfect frustration. Besides, who wants to be known as the trainer that makes his/her pokemon hate them?

I'd say Hold Hands..

Wait what is hold hands even supposed it do?

True, but I tried having frustration in on my snorlax in a wifi battle, needless to say, it was a disaster.

Hold Hands is a gimmicky move. It has no battle-use other than spending a turn.

The thing with Frustration, it is usable.. just hard to set up because if you've touched your poke.. you'd have to trade it to a friend, then get it back to get to base happiness.. then while in your party, stand right in front of the pc, feed it bitter medicines, and put it back in your PC permanently with the move..

Looking at it now on Bulbapedia it's even more useless because Vivillon is the only pokemon that can learn it xD

Bitter medicine doesn't lower it all of the way. That and your pokemon has to take damage or something to be able to use medicine. A perfect frustration is nearly impossible, and pointless because Return is better in every way

But that novelty pokemon tho.

Edit: I'd also say Happy Hour because it strictly is for the overworld as opposed to battles between real trainers.

They introduce moves like this and meanwhile Kingler still hasn't received a water move to take advantage of sheer force (like waterfall) and Gyarados still doesn't have that STAB crunch in it's mega form. Nintentrolls

Celebrate. It's basically splash but event-exclusive.

While i agree that Return is better in ALMOST any situation, Frustration is actually the best options against dittos as the ditto will most likely be at max happiness and does not copy the opponents happiness levels - so basically a choiced ditto will be locked into hitting like paper if it picks frustration

But yeah aside from that, frustration celebrate and hold hands are all terrible moves. Also, can metronome use celebrate and hold hands cause if so imagine pulling that out in the middle of battle...

Memento is pretty bad.

Memento is pretty bad.

Nahh if you have very little hp left and something set up on you then it's pretty good actually very useful on a pokemon like whimsicott with prankster

Hold Hands is a pretty bad one
