I think some of the moves exist for thematic purposes. Absorb for example introduces the life gain branch of moves for grass types. Splash (hop) exists only for that reason. Bubble and water gun probably fall into that a bit too. It might be problematic if a pokemon learns both, but having different pokemon with each move gives a feeling of power with water gun, and something slower or more tactical with bubble. Belch could use a rework with being usable but with less power or accuracy before using the berry, but I agree having a chance to miss after meeting the conditions seems too much of a setback to be used much. It might be interesting to look at the abilities and moves that trap vs the ones that allow escape or force switches/escape. I think present could be cool if it was reworked akin to tri attack where it could have a variety of effects as well, or a secret higher chance to heal your own pokemon when used on them.

I have quite a few things to say. In regards to your #1 spot, these moves are actually very viable in gen 7 if you choose to use them as your Z-move. this way these moves go from being 50% accurate to 100% accurate with a boost in power as well, taking out most pokemon in one hit. the other thing is, there are two other moves in particular that I think are even worse than those: 1. Focus Punch- this is a two-turn move that requires not to be hit in order to work. if you do get hit between turns, the moves fails. since you're most likely to get hit by the time the move actually gets executed, the move is pretty much useless 2. Splash- this move needs no introduction in how worthless it is. it deals no damage, it doesn't do any secondary effects, it has no strategic purpose other than wasting a turn. I'm very shocked this move wasn't number 1 or on your list at all

Mud slap is really slept on for early game coverage. First you made a mistake saying that it was a chance to lower accuracy when it’s actually garunteed. This move isn’t meant for damage tho it’s for long term setup. Imagine you face a gym trainers ace who’s sweeping ur team, then you bring out a tankier Pokémon who can land 2-3 slaps before dying. Now you can slowly kill it while it misses all of its moves. It’s the same as nuzzle, low power in exchange for a powerful effect.

Okay I have to called BS here cause there are some moves I do agree with and there are some I don't agree with. 1. The move Belch I fine to be actually useful on a Pokemon that has slow speed, like say Garbodor or Snorlax. Say for example if either of them takes damage from the opponents move, they could just easily eat a Sitrus berry and gain health while use Belch right back at them. Belch may have a 90% accuracy but so does Pyro Ball as well(and it's a physical move no less). 2. The likes of moves that are Absorb and Water gun are mainly for weaker Pokemon you get in the start of your journey. Whereas you progress they level up to gain even stronger moves as you continue on, like from Water gun to Hydro pump and Absorb to Giga drain(which you seem to forgot to mentioned in this video) And 3. and this is what I have a major gripe on, How in the hell are 3 moves Zap cannon,Inferno & Dyanamic punch are in the no.1 spot and not the most obvious worst move of them all Splash not on there. It literally has no significance other than to be a meme and either use like in Z-moves or Dynamax forms. I sincerly do hope you're not just randomly picking out of the 1000 of moves in Pokemon and just choosing the ones for competitve reasons, cause some of them don't.

Out of all of the choices on this list, I only agree with about half: Belch, Egg Bomb, Present, and the two 55 Accuracy moves. I really thing options like Absorb and Water Gun are really boring choices for moves like these even if there are better options even in the early game. I would have put Constrict over Bind even though that move is inaccurate, and the three 50% Accuracy 100% status chance moves are a very questionable Number 1 choice IMO. Like I get it, it's literally a 50/50-coinflip if they actually hit, but if they had more accuracy they would be busted. And most of the Pokemon that get Zap Cannon do at least have ways of mitigating that accuracy with moves like Lock-On, and also Machamp with No Guard demolishes things with DynamicPunch. If accuracy was really the dealbreaker, why didn't you choose the OHKO moves instead? They have only 30 Accuracy and won't even work if the opposing Pokémon's level is higher. Tbh, I can think of at least ten moves on the top of my head that are far worse than those three moves. No way those three are the worst moves no matter how garbage the accuracy is.

I'm just glad you excluded perish song. Yes it's a bit of a Russian roulette move but it's best to use it when your opponent has only one mon left and while you have at least two so you can swap out to avoid fainting.

What about SPLASH? 😅😅😅 But you’re correct with Delibird. Back in the day I had an action replay just for first and second Gen Pokémon games. It was fun seeing delibird use fly, ice beam, peck, and wing attack in Pokémon stadium 🤣🤣

comment 2: most of this list is due to low accuracy, there are very few moves like hone claws that we need for this purpose. Non competitive in game you can use x accuracy items to help you.

When I caught my Mewtwo in the trea raid battle someone used mud slap for most of the battle, and it made it almost impossible for Mewtwo to hit us.

Same here. It was a Mew for me. He was the MVP for sure. I employ that strategy myself sometimes now for other high level raids. It's worth sacrificing your damage to keep your team from fainting as long as they can hit hard enough.

What about the Move Constrict? If I recall correctly, it's so bad it should be number 1 on this list. It only has a Base Power of 10, is Normal Type, and has the secondary effect of having a chance to lowering the target's speed. At a rate of 10% odds. But lowering the target's Speed, and on a 10% chance of occurring from Constrict, means it's not worth rolling the die (metaphorically) just for that chance to lower the target's Speed by 1 stage, when the actual damage is based on 10 Base Power. Also, there's far better alternatives to lowering the target's Speed that are not Normal Type Moves. And that have better Base Power than Constrict.

14:10 I never use Inferno/Zap Cannon/Dynamic Punch for an entire playthrough. However, I usually save the game just before the Pokémon learns the move, watch the animation just so I can see the move in each game before resetting to before the battle so I don't waste a slot on these moves.
