Top 10 WORST Pokémon Moves (Feat. Shofu)

hey Nintendo fans it's J woods here with another Nintendo top ten ever since around a year ago I made a video about my top 10 favorite Pokemon attacks naturally you guys are asking for the opposite you want to know my top 10 least favorite the worst of the worst the ones that you would never even bother to add on to a Pokemon so I decided to enlist the help of a popular Pokemon battler shofu so that we can crack down and get to the top 10 worst Pokemon attacks let's check it out number 10 frustration frustration is at the bottom of this list because technically it's a normal-type attack that can deal up to 100 to base power but the reason it's on this list is that there is no reason you should use frustration over its brother return absolutely no reason return has 100 to base power if you have max happiness while frustration has 100 to base power if you have zero happiness the difference is that happiness is very easy to raise but decreasing it means you either need to force your Pokemon to get knocked out or feed it a lot of bitter medicine but you know it raises your pokémon's happiness walking every 128 steps your happiness is going up moving you away from that perfect frustration also do you want to be known as the pokemon trainer who purposely makes his Pokemon hate you you monster number 9 metronome I know what you're saying I get it yes metronome is my personal favorite attack but is it good ah no it forces you into a random pick from almost every attack available both good or bad is it fun well absolutely it's a blast but what I ever take it with me into a competitive battle No number 8 bide you finally done it you've grabbed your first pokemon badge ever and as your reward the Rock Gym Leader Brock awards you with vibe that's not even a rock move and childhood nostalgia aside this move is not good you see normally by charges for two turns and then hits for twice the damage you took over those turns but what it really does is make you a sitting duck you want to sit for two turns that's fine I'll set up two Sora's dances go to the gym lift some weights get my oil change get my taxes done go grocery shopping or I can just knock you out before your Biden gets to activate number seven present Oh delibird I've talked about him before so this should be no surprise but present is just ridiculous present is basically a game of chance ten percent of the time you hit for 120 base power very very strong thirty percent of the time you'll hit 480 which is solid forty percent of the time you'll hit for forty which is bad and 20% of the time that ungodly 20% you'll do the unthinkable you'll heal your opponent one in five times it's just oh hey I'm sorry for hurting you so here's the potion so sorry about that hahaha Dalli bird please stop it number six what the heck does quash even mean to reject or void especially by legal procedure legal procedure yeah that would be a dark-type move anyway squash is a super frustrating move it only has use in double mammals which is great in all except for the fact that most of the entire single-player adventure is well single battles quash forces the target hit by the attack to attack last in the turn this move has very little utility overall even in double battles it doesn't have any kind of priority status and it fails if the opponent has already attacked so it isn't too often you'll be able to successfully use it without wasting your turn I'm already not super crazy about attacks that only work in double battles and this is one of the worst of that category number five syncro noise oh man now we're getting to some of the real stinkers syncronize is a psychic-type attack that hits their 70 power to all opponents that are the same type as you it's such a bad move that it's almost unbelievable the fifth generation guys decided to concede this one first off looking at the normal set of Pokemon that can learn this move we're looking at three types of coverage normal psychic and flying meaning if your opponent is any type other than these three synchronous won't even touch them it really is a ludicrous requirement and for what base 70 power hey wait a second de Witts synchronize got bucked to 120 base power in generation 6 it did think it's the biggest buff aloof has ever gotten between generations Oh does that make it good that's definitely still terrible number 4 Kinesis alakazam is one of the most interesting pokemon in the first generation his design is much more detailed than most other pokemon of his time his psychic typing was strong and he had a huge move pool but what if I told you that Alakazam is lined in a move that no other pokemon could use a signature move you know like Pikachu's volt technical deoxys is psycho boost Arceus is judgment huh it's funny I don't remember Alakazam getting a move like that because he got Kinesis a move that lowers accuracy and only has 80% accuracy itself even sand attack has 100% accuracy to this day only Kadabra and Alakazam can use this horrible move and with good reason you know how in the matrix they say there is no spin I advise just that pretend this terrible spoon move never existed number 3 bestow bestow is just flat-out awful it gives your opponent your held item there's nothing in it for you you're just handing over your item to your opponent now considering that held items are usually helpful this is pretty bad to begin with maybe you could give your opponent to toxic or been poison them I guess but there's a catch it fails if your opponent has a held item already do you know how many Pokemon have a held item in competitive battle literally all of them every single one so unless your opponent forgets to put an item on a Pokemon 99.9% of the time this move is going to fail trick or switcheroo are so much better you still give your opponent your item but you also take your opponent's number to constrict constrict is a sad sad attack and the worst part is it's so bad most people don't even realize how horrible it is it's an attack that mostly Pokemon with tentacles can learn like 10 accrual tangrowth and almost are it sounds pretty intimidating to constrict makes you think of some horrible monster wrapping its tentacles around its prey to destroy them but no constrict is the worst damaging move in the game its base power is 10 and it has a 10% chance of lowering your opponent's speed for those of you who don't know everything about base power here's a frame of reference tackle was recently improved to a base power of 50 in the earlier generations tackle was still 35 even at its worst tackle the horrible move that you replace with the TM immediately it's three to five times stronger than you or let's put it this way you know bubble that terrible water type attack you get with squirtle and then replaced with water gun as soon as humanly possible bubble has a base power of 20 and the same chance to lower speed is constrict constrict is half a bubble no more wand so how do you get worse than the worst damaging attack in the game by dealing no damage at all without being splashed cuz that's cheating or celebrate yea or celebrate but I'm talking about an attack that isn't just completely useless for you it's also straight-up obnoxious the myth the legend teleport teleport as an attack for you is a waste it lets you escape a battle for free you know what else does that the smoke ball but it's an item this is an attack so bad that held item replaces it completely and let's not even forget to mention trying to catch a Pokemon width' teleport you finally get that aberrant you've been looking forward down to low HP you're ready to catch me then what he's gone what's with this move it's bad when you have it in bad when they have it it's the worst exactly teleport is the worst that's it for today's top 10 but as always you can click this button right here to subscribe to my channel and get alerts right with my new top 10 videos
