Most annoying moves?

    Simple. Which moves do you find the most annoying? Why?

    For me, it's a tie between Double Team and Sand Attack. Both make it harder to hit the other pokemon and both are generally spammed by the opponent for about 1,473,487,297,472,346* turns before they actually decide to start attacking. Wussiest tactic ever.

    *This is an exaggeration.

    Poison Sting. I never carry any antidote so when its poisoned its screwed until I find the next pokecenter. If its online battling, any thing that puts you to sleep. Like my friends Darkrai with DarkVoid.

    Confuse Ray or Poison sting. I always get poisoned due to Poison Sting, it only didn't happen once but that's because I had immunity.

    Poison Sting at the start of the game. The opponent always seems to have 100% of poison, whilst I had like 0.1%

    Random moves that you don't expect the opponent to have, like on the beach in Emerald when that Level 13 Zigzagoon whips out Surf.

    I agree with Double Team. Especially in FireRed where quite a few people carried Chansey/Blissey with them, so even if I hit them, it would take even more turns to attack. And don't forget that they had Softboiled to make the battle last a good thirty minutes.

    Any accuracy lowering/evasion raising move is annoying.

    Confuse Ray and Double Team are the two major ones. Any other status-inducing moves with 100% accuracy are annoying too if used by the opponent, especially Spore (in competitive battling).

    Just for the love of the game.

    Either rest or metronome.

    "Oh hey, a level 12 clefairy appeared"

    "Run"

    "Can't get away"

    "Clefairy used metronome"

    (Hmm I wonder what'll happen next..)

    OMG HYPER BEAM!

    If I'm using them, any moves that have 70-75 accuracy, like Thunder and Dragon Rush. I also find Double Team, Toxic and Confuse Ray annoying.

    Attract takes the cake for me.

    Runner-ups: Close Combat and Stone Edge. Both very powerful moves, and often good to have, but it seems like every decent trainer in the game, both NPC and flesh-and-blood, has one or two Pokemon with these moves. They can kill you in one hit out of nowhere, no problem. Is it possible for attacks to be "uber"?

    Double team, sand attack, hypnosis, thunder wave, fake out.
    Yes, they are pretty annoying aren't they.

    wait until you get into the big leagues of opponets using the move Toxic on you

    Anyways I find moves that induces confusion is the worst move for me.
