Most Overrated Pokemon Moves
Some of these may be good, but just too over-hyped.This move is worse than splash since it normal type so it beats nothing and during recharge, the opposing pokemon can set up or kill you so it is a waste of a move slot and splash can pivot since you can switch out afterwards and it's z move boosts attack by three stages but more useful than Hyper Beam
Hyper beam is the definition of overrated. Sure, it has 150 power... But it is normal type, so you cannot get it super effective. Also, that recharge turn makes you a sitting duck.
Roar of Time as well! Hate it when Dialga uses this!
Pikachu use thunderbolt! Pikachu did a slightly above average amount of damage! Seriously, it's not bad... It's just over hyped.
It only has a 90 base power. ice beam and flamethrower have the same BP.
This move has high base power and very few pokemon learn Aura Sphere though it has low accuracy and it is good coverage move too
If u need a fighting type special attack, go with Aura Sphere. Otherwise, Close Combat or Superpower.
The accuracy makes this move... Plunge into the realm of utter okayness.
Since this move does recoil damage, it's automatically not that good. Also, it's normal type.
This is the water type Hyper Beam. At least it can be super effective.
Only 80 damage for a two turn attack? It doesn't even protect you for one turn! At least this one isn't super hyped.
Almost every team uses it since it's so good, that's why you need a spinner/defogger to remove this
The Charizard haters give this move WAY too much attention.
This move is good, but it gets too much hype... Way too much hype.
This attack is terrible why is it popular
It's not bad... But with all the hype...
It got nerfed but it's still very strong so it needs to be nerfed more
Only 60 damage... At least it never misses...
Time for learn protect, gyarados and thrash too...
THE meaning of overrated.
It's really good, but that's why it's overrated.
This is by far the most overrated move in the game first off the only reason people like this is because it's the signature move of Greninja. An overrated Pokemon. On Pokemon showdown I see this on every greninja and I think to myself why. So it's +1 priority but Greninja already has base 122 speed but wait, Accelgor gets this move in ORAS it's even faster than greninja. So next reason why this move is bad it's a 15 base power move that hits 2-5 move its max base power is 75 which only happens 12.5% of the time. Half the time it's less than 50 base power you know what used to have 50 base power before gen 7? TACKLE! And since Greninja has protein it gets stab from all moves so half the time (12.5% of the time in gen 7) you're better off using tackle on Greninja
Too weak to be overrated
As great as Skeledirge is, I never really liked having this move around and always significantly preferred Heat wave and Flamethrower. Sure, boosting stats seems nice, but while Skeledirge has decent bulk, it's only good to take up to 3 hits so Torch song isn't too great gor sweeping potential. Sure, it'll be fun to connect with Throat spray, but still.
