even tho it isn't as powerful as eq, it has always been my favorite move, because of the gen1 remake animation and diglett

I think a very funny one is Spotlight from Gen 7, basically meant to be anti-Follow Me and Rage Powder tech, it existed ONLY in Gen 7 and only like, 4 fully evolved mons learned it.

[@Portobello-Mushroom]

Definitely a good contender

[@frodododo]

I had never heard of Comeuppance until a week ago but it won me a draft league match when i discovered it

[@TrixterTheFemboy]

god I wish they gave Revavroom the Torque moves, make the Team Star bosses give you a key that you can use to teach Revavrooms the respective Torque move. Could also be a TM but I don't want them being single-use.

[@Mijzelffan]

Gen 6 had the jankiest moves introduced, I still don't know the difference between magnetic flux and ion deluge

[@plazmurr]

6:56 ppl not knowing abt the Torque moves are understandable because they aren't moves you can see in competitive play since they are exclusive to the starmobiles (they should give Revaroom the Rotom treatment so it can learn them)

[@Kauan176ProBr]

Hell no they are too op to give to "revavroom" at least say its name right

[@plazmurr]

@@Kauan176ProBr pokemon would never make op stuff like flutter mane and Urshifu. in the game, also I didn't even say anything, we are typing, at least know that ur typing if ur gonna talk abt an immaterial part of an argument. *Revavroom has a lower BST than Klinklang so I don't think it'll break the game with 15 more base atk and secondary typing. I'm not implying it'll get speed boost/ misty surge etc. btw, I'm implying that it will get 1 new move (___ tourque, base gets noxious) and 1 new typing (subbed for Poison) per form

Present is integrated in gen 2 showdown the glitch is the entire reason bulky normal types like chansy use the move

That's actually wild, but I suppose Showdown is supposed to simulate the cartridge as close as possible so it makes sense.

This video cured my cancer and made my father finally come home from the store. Thank you Portobello Mushroom for healing my family 🥰

[@vvlaze]

I was confused at the statement at 0:56, since Misdreavus is a gen 2 mon, so if anyone is curious like me its because it was a TM move in Gen 1 and in Gen 2 Misdreavus was the only one to learn it naturally.

[@Portobello-Mushroom]

Good info

[@PorygonBugado]

The thumbnsil is perfect

[@rotten7777]

I regularly use silk trap in pokerogue, often because I didn't grab pokeballs earlygame, and I am in to deep to do so now.

[@zinzolin14]

Rototiller, another weird forgotten Gen 6 move

[@Jaffersin]

Toxic Thread I do enjoy for those cases where Ariados gets up all their hazards but hasn't been killed yet. Certainly not their most meta and most useful thing to do but that and Night Shade made sure it could usually keep it from just being set up on.

[@durk8892]

My favorite move has to be smelling salts. It works great with the very common fling + light ball strategy

[@Portobello-Mushroom]

Ah yes extremely normal

[@PokeMilesPlays]

The only reason space is on the list for Camouflage is because of Deoxys in ORAS. It is literally the only time the games use that effect for Camouflage because, as we know, Team Rocket isn’t a group of astronauts.

[@TaLeng2023]

I suppose Purify can be used on partner equipped with Toxic Orb to reset the poison counter?

Getting poisoned over and over again to sustain Pyukumuku sounds like some sort of torture method

[@TaLeng2023]

@@Portobello-Mushroom Pyuku is passive-aggressive I guess. I probably wouldn't use Purify on a Poison Heal Poke but maybe on Toxic Boost Zangoose? The ability does not protect Zangoose from the status damage.

[@AM22Salabok]

Tbh I clicked on this fully expecting another boring dude just listing off moves that aren't actually forgettable. But I really appreciate that you took the time to include some trivia and humor lol. The glitches are always interesting to learn about. I've definitely used chip away before tho so u are wrong that it's useless lol. Psywavr has its uses too

[@Portobello-Mushroom]

I would love to hear how you got actual use out of Chip Away (also keep in my mind that my slant is competitive singles so I get it if people used it in casual playthroughs)

[@AM22Salabok]

​@@Portobello-Mushroom so my main format was draft, especially older gen draft. ive ran curse chip away lax before to break past opposing setup mons, ngl i think it was an opposing lax that game. but in theory works as a bring vs certain things trying to setup alongside you, demon reuni/clef/whatever. funnily i think psywave also gets the most use out of a mirror match, specifically the bronzong one. sometimes its just the best way for zong to chip the opposing steel or team in general, u sometimes also see it come for cele

[@yannickgrignon2473]

What I always find interesting are moves that were good early on, but have since been powercrept or functionally replaced by better moves. Submission for instance was gen 1's "best" fighting move, but it's terrible and I don't think anyone's used it since then. I'm using Brick Break a lot in my gen 3 playthroughs now, but that's been largely replaced by moves like Close Combat. It's interesting to see these staple moves just kind of ... disappear

[@sandofman4161]

the only reason I knew about chip away was that i was confused why my slaking in ORAS did so much damage with it

[@Moresleepspent]

These videos never mention Meditate, which has been present since Gen 1

[@Portobello-Mushroom]

Well it was on my honorable mention list at the end but I figured psywave was more interesting to talk about

[@videakias3000]

steel roller is a forgotten gen 9 move that nobody uses. it is the signature move of iron treads. it has 130 base power and in order to activate it there MUST be a terrain arround. it ends the terrain. in the "shared power" format (a format where the pokemon share their abilities with each other) I tried to make some use of this move by giving my iron treads steelworker and touch claws ability thus turning this move to almost 255 base power. this gimmick was trash. I wasn't expecting much anyway.

[@Portobello-Mushroom]

Steel Roller is unfortunately too specific to see any sort of broad use. I could see it being a fun bring in a draft game or monotype but other than that it's just too niche. Also fun fact, it was introduced in Gen 8, but for some reason they changed it to the sig move of Treads in Gen 9

[@Nosretep]

Camouflage for Space might be for the Deoyxs battle.

[@Portobello-Mushroom]

Oh it's definitely a Rayquaza thing but it is funny that going to space and using camouflage makes the user a dragon of all things

[@cockyhelmcorv1719]

powder is cool and kinda forgotten too

[@Portobello-Mushroom]

Seeing somebody successfully pull off powder would be so hype

[@smollmoth6376]

Thid is a wonderul video, I found the voice charming and overall funnThe only move I don't get is spidops. I know the pokemon is abysmal, but that is no fault of silk trap. Sure it doesn't block status but there has to be something worse in gen 9.

[@Portobello-Mushroom]

Well it's not about being bad, but rather about being rarely used. There are some other contenders like Comeuppance and Doodle but Silk Trap is one that I just had never seen at all.

[@extrasmalltricky6665]

I saw that MissingNo.

[@Portobello-Mushroom]

Huh? I think this video only goes over gen 7-9, I don't recall there being anything else

[@nathanieljones8043]

7-8 they just randomly removed moves they kept stealth rock but removed pursuit. 8-9 made sense

[@Portobello-Mushroom]

The initial Dexit was sloppy, a lot of interesting moves got axed for no apparent reason

[@theultimatesvengali4430]

Powder and Spotlight are more obscure than these. I only discovered them when they got removed from the game. they also both happen to be weirdly good moves, just had bad distribution
