Board 8 > Kazbar ranks 100 Pokemon moves (chosen by you!) with write-ups

(+) Yeah! (+)

Not going to post an updated version of the list, since there's only four left and thus you'll get to see the full version soon.

Still, I claim the top of this page in the name of Mars.

Yes! It looks much MUCH more cute than Golem and looks epic at the same time. Sandshrew EQ in pokemon Stadium is among the best things ever. His little stomp is the best.

4. Drill Peck
Nominated by: 20three
Introduced: Gen I
Pokemon I associate this move with: Dodrio

Until Brave Bird reared its head, Drill Peck was the Flying attack move of choice. And personally, I still love it. For one, I prefer it to Brave Bird because of the lack of recoil; most people would disagree with this, but even today some people prefer it in competitive for the same reason (Especially on things like Skarmory, where it's ability is nullified by recoil). It's animation are pretty good, too. But the main reason it's all the way up at number four is a reason I've touted on numerous other moves; the perception I have of it. Just picturing all three of Dodrio's head suddenly whir up their beaks like a power drill and charge at the opponent is a truly, not-in-the-overused-sense epic thing to behold. Add to this that Dodrio itself is in my top 20 Pokemon (And Fearow, another user, is decently high as well), and, well, it's pretty obvious why it's here.

I would say Fearow for who I associate with here, but Dodrio is acceptable.

Nightfurys are pretty excellent, what you said next is not excellent at all and you should be very ashamed for even thinking about such things.

USE THE CIRCLE PAD TO MOVE!

3. U-Turn
Nominated by: Wicklebee
Introduced: Gen IV
Pokemon I associate this move with: Ambipom

"Oh no, a counter to my current Pokemon, I must switch out! Ah, but wait! Why shouldn't I be able to hit them while doing so?" That little not-so-realistically spoken sentence must have passed someone's mind at some point, because eventually U-Turn was made. It is a great move to use under many circumstances; even if your opponent has double-resistance to the move, any damage while switching out is better than none. It obviously has great merit in competitive for this reason, and honestly, it's just always struck me as really neat. And for the record, Volt Switch, it's Gen V electric equivalent, would get a significantly lower position. See, I view it as somewhat of a "poser" move, in that it exists only to give more Pokemon that move in equivalency. Another example of this is Heart Stamp, it being the equivalent of Bite.

2. Aeroblast
Nominated by: SilentWanderer
Introduced: Gen II
Pokemon I associate this move with: Lugia

Aeroblast is THE quintessential legendary move, in my opinion. It's powerful, it's got a cool name, and it's animations are always awesome, from GSC to BW and especially Pokemon Stadium 2. As a matter of fact, both legendary signature moves of Gen II (Aeroblast and Sacred Fire) fill this description, though I like Aeroblast just a tiny bit more, in the same way I like Lugia just a tiny bit more than Ho-Oh. Aeroblast is probably in my top 10 moves out of all the games, but unfortunately for it, my absolute favorite move got nominated in this very list. There are very few moves I'd take over Aeroblast though, so it's definitely worthy of this spot.

Okay, Chief, take 'em away. I'm gonna go home and sleep with my wife. ~ Mr. Green
Enjoy the silence.

And now, the moment all of you (except that weird alt who won't reveal himself) have been waiting for:







1. Metronome
Nominated by: xx521xx
Introduced: Gen I
Pokemon I associate this move with: Clefairy

Some may see this as a cop-out of sorts. "Having Metronome in just means you picked every move!". Anyone who says this, however, is stupid. Moving on.

Metronome is the greatest move of all-time simply because it can make the user do almost anything. As I've pointed out with Mirror Move, it takes the image of the user doing whatever move Metronome chooses and places it in your mind. Imagining, say, Golem using Fly, or Dusclops using Lovely Kiss, or Cleffa using Aeroblast is probably one of the greatest things of all-time, Pokemon-wise. It's the ultimate fuel-for-the-imagination move., and as I'm sure this list has made clear, that's my kind of move. Any other move could have been nominated in this contest and this result would have been the same. There are none better in my opinion, bar none.


Anyway, so that's the list, but we're not quite done here. There's still a little bit of stats and discussion to be dealt with. So stay tuned.

User Rankings (Based on average move placement):

* = Nominated one move
** = Nominated three moves

1. Natwaf_akidna: 16.2
2. Anagram: 28*
3. SSJSephirothGokuX123: 29.6
4. GenesisSaga: 31
5. three: 36.6
6. Wicklebee: 37.4
7. xx521xx: 39.8
8. Raka_Putra: 41
9. Murphiroth: 44.2
10. MarvelousGerbil: 44.8
11. SilentWanderer: 50.8 (Had higher ranking move than swordz)
12. swordz9: 50.8
13. MeteorExF: 52.2
14. Sorozone: 56.2
15. Silver_Ermine: 58.4
16. GTM: 63
17. SuperAngelo128: 65.8
18. EverythingRuned: 66.2
19. Blairville: 66.4
20. scotted4: 72.7**
21. GenesisTwilight: 90.6
22. SMOKEDOG42O: 97*



So, Natwaf wins pretty handily, his worst ranking coming in at 34th. Lowest overall score, discounting the one-voters, goes to GenesisTwilight, who seemed to want that placement the entire time, so good on him. Of course, the real winner is Ermine, since he vetoed the results to this contest and probably declared himself winner. But this is all hypothetical, of course.

Now, you're probably saying to yourself "Hey, I didn't know we'd be ranked on this! I just chose moves at random". Well, that's why there's no prize to be had, except bragging rights. All for fun, as it were.

Anyway, so that's the list. Hope you had as much fun as I did (Which is to say, some, but not a ton). See y'all next time. I'm off to work on getting this all on the wiki.
