Imagine a Pokemon using hold hands with Scyther *Trainer* : Use hold hands *Pikachu* : I don't know man this seems dangerous *Scyther* : (shakes hand anyways) Pikachu can no longer use hold hands
"Hold Hands" should double the power of Return. It would still be really situational, but at least it would make some sense since "it makes the pokemon very happy"
Great video! Though I do think it's funny that about half the list was full of decent to incredibly useful moves in competitive doubles. Quash on sableye is a menace, and even hold hands was used on actual tournament teams. The teams were built around timer stalling and hold hands is a very long animation which assisted in the strategies viability.
@@bulborb8756 Depends on the format and the team it's a part of, as murkrow provides things like tailwind and haze while sableye gets weather moves like sunny day as well as things like will-o-wisp and encore
Sarah Jensen Same here. For some reason I just go through the whole dope nonsense list of pokemon moves. There. I have wasted my time on reading +150 moves. At least.
I've heard of a few of these but yeah, I never used most of them. Belch, however, is an excellent move for a pokemon with the ability gluttony or an ability/move that permits it to reuse the same berry.
@@bulborb8756 Well, if you're battling someone who only plays somewhat competitively it can be a decent combo, by no means the best. And you're right, those moves do tend to outclass it. I would recommend these strategies for people playing between friends. Tournaments and this will be completely outmatched.
@@blackout6411 true, but even in a playthrough, belch is pretty useless cause it needs a specific set up for it, and i'd rather have 1 of the 2 strong "sludge" moves that can be used all the time, rather then a move that can only be used once per battle
One of my Aces, my Ninetails Queen, has Inferno, and she NEVER misses and always gets AWESOME damage. (Then Again, She's Level One Hundred... and I leveled her up Early...)
@@raikar7878 Actually, I run Inferno on my Mega Charizard Y, and overall, I've actually gotten good results using it. Heck, I've beaten many a Water Type with Mega Charizard Y thanks to Inferno. 😄
No one: When you are just so goated you’ve seen just about all moves to point where there’s probably like 1 or 2 you have seen. Me: uhmmmmmmmmm am I the only one
17:28 I had a Munchlax that has Metronome and it used Spectral Shadow; it also used Prismatic Laser quite a lot. I discovered many new moves from it, I only had one instance of Self-Destruct.
Hold hands rework REWORKED: Hold hands now gives the target all of the user's status effects. (poison, burn, etc.) It may be busted but as a wise man once said: "Eh, whatever."
I remember Hold Hands from Gen 3. Even with Double Battles, I could NEVER FIGURE OUT WHAT IT DOES! So it IMMEDIATELY got grouped with Growl/Tail Whip/ANY weaker status move.
But that’s not a bad thing, it’s a high power stab move that either deals decent damage or takes down a shield. Salazzle is actually one of the best NPC’s to get.
David 64 probably just me, but other than Wobbuffet (obviously), Salazzle is the worst NPC for me to get. It’s fast, which is usually great, but it has a tendency to do just below the needed amount of damage to expose the barrier, leading to a wasted Dynamax turn. Also it’s defense is trash meaning it dies too easily
Renzo Ramirez well for me maractus is also not that great, it almost always leads with sucker puch which doesn’t nearly do enough damage gor the first shield, effectively wasting a turn. It also uses solar beam on shields which is even more useless. But of course solrock is still worse.
Ion Deluge in a Double Battle could be used to abuse Explosion or Self-Destruct to heal the ally that used it, AND bypass a ghost type. Even better for things weak to electric, like Drifblim, since that means you can pull a sneaky thing, unlike with an Alolan Golem or something, where they might expect it. Niche, yes. But at the same time, not completely.
@@patrickhealey5328 so many applications. It can mess with trick room, it can ruin after you, it can kill fast frail damage dealers, basically anything that needs to be fast fears quash.
In radical red, heatmor gets the ability fatal precision, which makes it so that super effective moves cannot miss. So inferno skips accuracy checks when used on something weak to fire(and there is a lot of those)
hey michael! i think that purify is a very extremely situational move, like when you encounter a shiny and you use a status type attack that has a chance to poison,burn,etc. use purify so it doesn't die and you look for an another shiny
I think my favourite part about this video is that fact that in my moon play though I beat the elite 4 with a wishiwashi, an Ariados that knew toxic thread and a marshadow that knew spectral thief
I'm kinda surprised that Light of Ruin wasn't on this list. It is a Fairy-type special move introduced in Generation 6. It has the highest base power of all Fairy-type moves at 140, but the user of the move receives recoil damage equal to 1/2 of the damage done to the target. The reason you've probably never heard of this move is because it is the signature move of AZ's Eternal Flower Floette, a Pokemon that has not been released and is unobtainable without hacking. It is also one of the few moves that cannot be selected by Metronome, so there is no way to see this move in-game through legitimate means. Then again, a lot of people know about Eternal Flower Floette due to it's status as unused content and a lot of people speculate about why it was never released, so maybe Light of Ruin isn't as obscure as I first thought.
This makes me think of the time when I caught my first Hitmonchan and the only move he used in the battle was Helping Hand. That made me feel like I was meant to catch him.
Guys, quash on prankster Sableye is amazing. Forcing fast but frail mons, like Dragapult or Inteleon, to go last and take huge damage from a slower attacker like Hattarene or Conkeldur is hugely useful.
Fire Lash isn’t that unused, since it’s now used by Sizzlipede and Centiscortch. And now, Intelleon uses Tearful Look, seen in your battle with Leon in Sword and Shield. I’ve heard of Spectral Thief, Fire Lash, Tearful Look, Eerie Impulse, Ion Deluge, Crafty Shield, Belch, Inferno, and Double Iron Bash.
Michael: a large majority of you probably haven’t heard of hold hands. Me, who saw the move in the video thumbnail: *I am 4 parallel universes ahead of you*
I think Rototiller should be a part of this. It boosts both of the attacking stats of grounded (meaning they are on the ground) grass types and fails if there are none. It is only available in the kalos and alola games and it doesnt have the widest amount of pokemon that learn it, and it's really situational, only being sort of viable in double battles.
Michael: “It is very difficult to control when your Pokémon can use Belch” Me: *laughs in Max Raids* Explanation: Belch will always work in a Max Raid Battle, regardless of whether the Pokémon has eaten a Berry or not. Edit: WHY IS THIS COMMENT MY MOST LIKED?!
Ngl, Purify is good in doubles if Pyukumuku’s partner has Poison Heal while holding a Toxic Orb, can heal their poison, and recover, and at the end of the turn the teammate gets poisoned again
Hold hands could be a status move that raises the stats on an ally since holding hands makes then very happy, this means that they will get more determination to win for the pokemon that used it
Sure, it's cute, but that's about it. Why? Did Splash really need a Double Battle equivalent? It's just literally Splash, but the Double Battle version. Cute if the 2 Pokemon using it are in the same breeding category, I guess? Or if you and your girlfriend's Pokemon are battling, and you both use it, and it plays a cutesy animation, which does absolutely nothing. Well, too bad cutesy animations don't win you the battle. Otherwise, Hold Hands would probably be more popular.
@@shawnfields2369 It could be useful in catching pokémon with friend evolutions, using hold hands could up their friendship upon catching and stacking this with a luxury ball or friendship ball would be huge! Yet they didn’t do this..It’s still useless. Edit: it could of also afflicted the enemy pokémon with confusion or attract, either it likes your pokémon too much to hurt it always or it’s confused by the gesture.
Cosmo Gaming did you try using it with an x accuracy in gen 2? In gens 1 & 2, x accuracy ignores evasion and accuracy checks when used in battle, for the entire battle. Why I’m saying only gens 1 & 2 is that in gens 3 and up, it was patched.
I can see one thing for Purify: Flame Orb Guts setups or Toxic Orb Poison Heal setups. Combined with Trick and Fling, and another Purify, they can't do their setup anymore.
I believe to get the TM for zap cannon you have to return the power plant part post game in kanto and the owner gives it to you and the only reason I know this is because i played several runs of gold and chrystal and side note in chrystal the battery was dead so I got so good I could beat the eighth gym in a hour.
Quash is also very unheard of because no Pokémon that debuted at the same time as that move could learn it. Most others in that scenario were signature moves, and they were actually good.
Quash use hypothetically: Two fast mons, one with Metal Burst. Quash the metal burst mon since it only works if it moves last. Some good steel mons are pretty fast so maybe?
It has competetive viability by using it on a prankster mon. Just quash your opponent's fastest team member and attack it with a slow but very hard hitting pokemon on your team, like aggron or slaking.
quash is pretty good in doubles bc of prankster. Especially with how high the power level of vgc tends to be. So you have a mon with prankster and quash use quash and a pokemon that you're worried will be able to knock out or do significant damage to it's partner and then that partner is able to knock it out before it can attack.
@@epicyoshi9515 I don't quite understand what you mean by "this", but my idea is that you have Polteageist be faster than your belch user, and since Polteageist is faster, it gets to use teatime first, then allowing the other Pokemon to belch earlier. And if by "this" you mean the Pokemon has to eat its held berry, that's what teatime forces.
Or, you're trying to catch the pokemon and they're dangerously close to fainting. For example, I once toxic-poisoned Mesprit in Gen-4; and to keep it from fainting I had to Fling a Pecha berry at it. Luckily it didn't faint.
I have had Marshadow since it came out. Even transferred it to SWSH! Spectral Thief has been its signature move and I’ve totally taken it for granted. I love the move~

This makes me think of the time when I caught my first Hitmonchan and the only move he used in the battle was Helping Hand. That made me feel like I was meant to catch him.
Guys, quash on prankster Sableye is amazing. Forcing fast but frail mons, like Dragapult or Inteleon, to go last and take huge damage from a slower attacker like Hattarene or Conkeldur is hugely useful.
Thats why I was very very confused why it was on the list. Its usable and decently common in the meta game
It also seems even more useful in Triples, where the Quashed Pokemon can now be hit twice.
@@Helperishere Yeah, I guess he doesn't really play doubles much or pay much attention to VGC.
Sableye runs it a lot in doubles,triples and free-for-alls

Thank you for your clarification, Roblox&MinecraftPokemonMaster777
Fire Lash isn’t that unused, since it’s now used by Sizzlipede and Centiscortch. And now, Intelleon uses Tearful Look, seen in your battle with Leon in Sword and Shield.
I’ve heard of Spectral Thief, Fire Lash, Tearful Look, Eerie Impulse, Ion Deluge, Crafty Shield, Belch, Inferno, and Double Iron Bash.

They came but not famously and did you know baneful bunker in gen 8 and even more moves
Hold Hands didnt make the cut though
@@Badb0y4lif3 so didnt toxic thread
I think Rototiller should be a part of this. It boosts both of the attacking stats of grounded (meaning they are on the ground) grass types and fails if there are none. It is only available in the kalos and alola games and it doesnt have the widest amount of pokemon that learn it, and it's really situational, only being sort of viable in double battles.
Michael: “It is very difficult to control when your Pokémon can use Belch”
Me: *laughs in Max Raids*
Explanation: Belch will always work in a Max Raid Battle, regardless of whether the Pokémon has eaten a Berry or not.
Edit: WHY IS THIS COMMENT MY MOST LIKED?!
Thanks for the explanation, I don't actually know what Max Raids change.

This makes no sense as stat boosting berry setups are super common.
That's the reason I knew Fire Lash existed, because I get a million Heatmors spamming that move whenever I do a Max Raid Battle.

Subitles: Gouri tings beef ends!
Michael: Eerie Impulse was introduced in gen 6
Me: **has played Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Red/Blue** Are you sure about that?
No wonder it sounds familiar
Eerie impulse is in mystery dungeons, so i think its pretty known
4:06 so technically it is a fire type zap cannon which is a guaranteed paralysis but with weaker power
*”If it’s 50% accurate, it’s 20% accurate”*
Lol I’m so proud of that joke-
lol i was just looking in the comments to see if someone did that

Ngl, Purify is good in doubles if Pyukumuku’s partner has Poison Heal while holding a Toxic Orb, can heal their poison, and recover, and at the end of the turn the teammate gets poisoned again
It’s also good against Guts Pokémon.

I wouldn't say that much ^.^" I just use Pokémon I'm attached to, without much thought to moves or anything.
Hold hands could be a status move that raises the stats on an ally since holding hands makes then very happy, this means that they will get more determination to win for the pokemon that used it

They could of made hold hands a move that increases the friendship level of the Pokemon it's used on 😳
But the animation is cute I guess
Sure, it's cute, but that's about it. Why? Did Splash really need a Double Battle equivalent? It's just literally Splash, but the Double Battle version. Cute if the 2 Pokemon using it are in the same breeding category, I guess? Or if you and your girlfriend's Pokemon are battling, and you both use it, and it plays a cutesy animation, which does absolutely nothing. Well, too bad cutesy animations don't win you the battle. Otherwise, Hold Hands would probably be more popular.
@@shawnfields2369 It could be useful in catching pokémon with friend evolutions, using hold hands could up their friendship upon catching and stacking this with a luxury ball or friendship ball would be huge! Yet they didn’t do this..It’s still useless.
Edit: it could of also afflicted the enemy pokémon with confusion or attract, either it likes your pokémon too much to hurt it always or it’s confused by the gesture.
True and then you could use like return
Remember if it's not more than 50 percent.
It's 0.
i have never landed a dynamic punch. i use a machamp
@@nr1wartortlefan L o l.
Would you use it still if it were an ohko move? (30 accuracy)
Cosmo Gaming did you try using it with an x accuracy in gen 2? In gens 1 & 2, x accuracy ignores evasion and accuracy checks when used in battle, for the entire battle. Why I’m saying only gens 1 & 2 is that in gens 3 and up, it was patched.
No Guard: What is this 50% accuracy you speak of?
I can see one thing for Purify: Flame Orb Guts setups or Toxic Orb Poison Heal setups.
Combined with Trick and Fling, and another Purify, they can't do their setup anymore.
"A special, fire type version of Dynamic Punch"
You mean a fire type Zap Cannon, right? The thing that Dynamic Punch was a fighting type version of?
Zap cannon is 150bp now
Wasn't Dynamic Punch from Gen 2, while Zap Cannon from Gen 3?
@O Lobinho Encapuzado I don't remember ever using or getting attacked by a Zap Cannon in Gen 2, but maybe it's just my memory.
Both Dynamic Punch and Zap Cannon are from gen 2.
I believe to get the TM for zap cannon you have to return the power plant part post game in kanto and the owner gives it to you and the only reason I know this is because i played several runs of gold and chrystal and side note in chrystal the battery was dead so I got so good I could beat the eighth gym in a hour.

MandJtv: You've probably never heard of this mo-
Me: Bold of you to assume I don't play randomised nuzlockes every month
Quash is also very unheard of because no Pokémon that debuted at the same time as that move could learn it. Most others in that scenario were signature moves, and they were actually good.
Me: I'm the best trainer ever!
*sees 15 moves u didn't know*
Me: Michael why!? I'm coming! :(
Michael: *uses quash*
Quash use hypothetically: Two fast mons, one with Metal Burst. Quash the metal burst mon since it only works if it moves last. Some good steel mons are pretty fast so maybe?
It has competetive viability by using it on a prankster mon. Just quash your opponent's fastest team member and attack it with a slow but very hard hitting pokemon on your team, like aggron or slaking.
Doesn't Metal Burst have negative priority, like Counter/Mirror Coat?
quash is pretty good in doubles bc of prankster. Especially with how high the power level of vgc tends to be. So you have a mon with prankster and quash use quash and a pokemon that you're worried will be able to knock out or do significant damage to it's partner and then that partner is able to knock it out before it can attack.
I was just thinking:
Teatime->belch
Hi
Same thing with milk drink, but teatime is a better example because
*we don't talk about milk drink here.*
@@epicyoshi9515 Ever heard of doubles?
@@epicyoshi9515 I don't quite understand what you mean by "this", but my idea is that you have Polteageist be faster than your belch user, and since Polteageist is faster, it gets to use teatime first, then allowing the other Pokemon to belch earlier. And if by "this" you mean the Pokemon has to eat its held berry, that's what teatime forces.
@@SteelPokeNinja correct
I can think of two ways that Purify can be useful:
1. Removing, say, Poison from a legendary you want to catch.
2. Messing up poison heal/guts builds
"Why would you want to heal your opponent's status condition?"
Poison heal, flare boost, and guts
Dont forget facade
Very situational
Toxic boost
Or, you're trying to catch the pokemon and they're dangerously close to fainting. For example, I once toxic-poisoned Mesprit in Gen-4; and to keep it from fainting I had to Fling a Pecha berry at it. Luckily it didn't faint.
"quash is useless"
dracovish : lemme help with that
Why
Gabriel Krows dracovish is busted if he can move before the Pokémon he’s attacking, so if he goes last it devalues him significantly
