moves can vary from super strong to near useless. Many of these moves have no effect or a straight variable effect due to outside circumstances like health amount, they have been left off the list for straight attack moves for༒ the sake of simplicity.
Some Pokémon type got the ben𝄹efit of having ꧃stronger weak moves that could still be use-able throughout a playthrough, other types did not get so lucky in move set choice where many of their moves are near useless. Here are all the weakest attack moves of each type.
17 Steel: Metal ꦿClaw 50 💛
Steel type has the officially most powerful weakest attack of all Pokémon. Metal claw can do solid damage even being weak, though it can easily be re🦋placed by Iron Tail, it can be a good diversity move for Pokémon who aren't metal types but you need the coverage.
16 Dragon🤪: Twister 40
Twister is basically dragon tackle d💛ealing with the same damage. dragon actually has one of the strongest weak moves of all the types with Twister. 40 damage on this list is nothing to sneeze at for dragon-type damage.
15 ꦅ Water: Bubble 40
Bubble's attack is probably more threatening than it sounds, thi▨s is commonly the first water type move some starters learn before getting replaced with bigger and better moves. It was only trusty he the Pokémon was weak but i🐼t is essentially water type tackle where it really doesn't do enough to win the day in a quick amount of time.
14 Fairy: Fairy Wind 40 𝔉
Fairy, dragon's counter type, had gotten lucky as the new kid on the block of Pokémon typings by getting an equally strong attack. However, the disbenefit of this move is that it has a chance to miss compared to its other fairy type weak move competitor, ꩲDisarming Voice, which always hits.
13 Flying: Peck 35 🍬
This is an old familiar move, you probably taught your Pidgey this before it grew big enough to learn magic powers or super moves like Sky Attack where it had a power of 200 attack.🎀 Either way, i🤪t all started when it learned peck, like some regular bird.
12 ⛄ Ghosꦯt: Lick 30
Ghost has it r♛ough when it comes to a move set. Most ghost types are mixed with another type to make up for bad damage ghost moves so that Pokémon can still have stab damage. Lick being one of the weakest entries just shows how tough Ghost has had it over the years because it was one of the few actual ghost moves during the beginning.
11 Grass: Bullet Seed 25+ 🎉
Bullet seed doꦆes have the chance to only go once, and if it did it would not help you. It's sad to think a poor Bulbasaur standing there awkwardly as it gets attacked to a knockout because it was incapable of bullet seeding more than once.
10 Ice: Icicle Spear 25+ ꧋ 🐭
This is essentially an Ice-type bullet seed, which wasn't really ne💫cessary beꦉcause where you'd actually need this move is a pretty rare situation. You'd be better off shooting off an ice beam as it will be more accurate.
9 Bug: Pin Missile 25+ 🏅🗹
Pin Missile is a bug type move that can hit once to 5 times depending on chance, and oh boy if the dice roll is only once. Many dice roll moves are weakꦰer than tackle making damage a hard thin🌳g to come by and with the many resistances that are against bug types you're screwed if you only get one.
8 ܫ Dark: Power Trip 20+
Power Trip can depend on stat upgrades on its attack power, which is kinda useless because all Pokémon attack m🍰oves depend on stat rises to boost power.
Its gimmick only works if all your stats are boosted and taking them into account which takes way too much setup and your Pokémon would already be knocked out by then. Meaning you're stuck with a 20 power attack. If you can manage to Complete the Dragon Balls of power stats, in this case, all the way, it can have 86𝓰0 attack.
