Currently broken/Useless Moves

UPDATE: As the Simulator seems to no longer be getting updates for the time being, I have decided to leave the forums for the time being, all below still seems to be valid as of 7th April however!

For the Abilities post, see here!

After a little bit more of testing, I have decided to document the currently broken/visually impaired moves that may defog (hur) some concerns you might have when building a team!

Please keep in mind that this is not a bug report nor am I a developer, this is just simply a quick sheet to cross-check if you are using anything that wouldn’t quite work out as well as you had expected.

Hope this all helps! (Last updated 03/03/2016)

As a general rule of thumb, having two or more of the same move will not give double the PP, it will however waste a moveslot as all PP is drained from the one move and will disable both/all on the eventuality that the one move will run out.
