Do you have any favorite moves you use even if they're not necessarily optimal?
I find myself running Hyper Beam a lot on units like Mega Gardevoir or Porygon-Z, I just really enjoy the idea of having a last resort nuke-laser. I also love using Focus Punch for predicted switches.
i like hyper beam as well
Blaze kick

Bullet Seed on every single grass pokemon I have in-game. It looked so cool in the anime, I fell in love with the move. It's my go-to Torterra move
I like Double Kick a lot for some reason. Good for bypassing sturdy in-game, at least.

Bro.
I use it on my Lucario too even though there are more efficient and suitable moves for him. Luckily, almost nobody ever expects a Lucario to have Blaze kick so he can get some nasty surprise super effectives.

Thrash
Hex+toxic
I also love hypnosis/dream eater/nightmare but grass types get given the only reliable sleep move for some fucking reason.Fuck gamefreak Hypno with eviolite hypnosis dream eater nightmare and disable is a good set though

In Gen 3, before I really understood all the numbers and shit in the game, I was pretty partial to using Shock Wave
I also always give my Salamence Hydro Pump even though it's rarely useful. I guess it's good to hit Hippowdon and Landorus with?

dude I kept Shock Wave on my Raichu the whole way. its final moveset was Thunderbolt, Shock Wave, Thunder Wave and Strength.
i like ohko moves as a last resort.

>Hypno
>Eviolite
what
>>32628330
Shockwave has an awesome animation in gen 3 so I can't hardly blame you. I think I ran that on myAggron

Fuck got the 2 mixed up I meant drowzee I always forget hypno even exists because I never evolve my drowzees

Flame wheel was on my infernape throughout all of diamond it had so much PP and allowed him to sweep the e4 to grind other mons up his final moveset was like flareblitz closecombat flamewheel and a hm I think

For in-game purposes only, there's a few.
I use Roar of Time on Dialga because it's its signature move and I use Palkia and Giratina's signature moves too, so I wanted to keep the symmetry. Also, with its good coverage, it can afford to not use a proper Dragon move.
I use Fire Blast on Garchomp because I gave it the Mega Stone after transfering it to Gen VI and it has Naive nature anyway, so why not?
I gave Thrash or Double-Edge to Aerilate mons cause I don't have their happiness maxed out to use Return.
I use Fly and Dig on some mons since in-game, the 2-turn thing is not an issue.
>>32626634
Same, also because you rarely see that move.

I love using Reflect and Light Screen, even for in-game teams. It's a big reason why Chikorita is my favorite starter. I also can't stand using them without Light Clay.

I used to run Solar Beam on Aggron. The idea of a giant steel dinosaur shooting sun lasers is tight.
