Accuracy vs. Power

[GuardChomp]

When Giving pokemon movesets, do you ussually go for Accuracy of power?
For me:
Ussually- Rock Slide>Stone Edge
Always- Sludge Bomb>Gunk Shot
Always- Flamethrower>Fire Blast
Ussually- Thunderbolt>Thunder
50-50- Cross Chop=Close Combat
Ussually- Ice Beam>Blizard
Ussually- Power Whip> Seed Bomb
Always- Mega Punch>Mega Kick
So Yeah, I'm more of an Accuracy Guy. (Power whip has more pp than other stong attacks so PW>SB.)

 

[Bolt the Cat]

I go for power, mostly, but I generally won't use more inaccurate moves (such as Fire Blast/Blizzard/Thunder/Hydro Pump).

 

[Neekerisanni123]

I go for accuracy. I only use the more inaccurate moves if I have a way to increase their accuracy.

 

[Zibdas]

I just use moves like Thunderbolt and Flamethrower out of tradition.

 

[モーモー]

You need to find a balance, really. Most hard hitting moves, (Dynam. Punch, Zap Cannon )
are terribly inaccurate. I usually stick with the moves that do about 90 damage. Like Thunderbolt, Flamethrower, Ice Beam.

 

[PikaPika677]

Power. But I only go for power if it has decent PP

 

[zapto369]

I have naturally horrible luck with high power-low accuracy moves such as thunder or fire blast. As such, I tend to stick to more reliable moves such as thunderbolt and ice beam 98% of the time.

 

[Flame Mistress]

I go for more balanced out ones such as Ice Beam and Sky Uppercut. But sometimes I do power as well, since my Charizard knows Fire Blast for competitive play (why on earth, I have no idea).

 

[AuraSphere]

Accuracy. The move misses and the Power is temporarily 0.

 

[TTNH03]

to be honest I go for both.
Accuracy if I'm in a really intense tournament but go for power if I decided to take a gamble and finish the battle off with a final blow.

I always use weather conditions to increase the accuracy of Thunder and Hurricane though so I guess you can say that I go for accuracy more.

 

[General Nonsense]

I definitely like higher accuracy. If it doesn't have 90% (or on a rare occasion, 85%) accuracy or higher, I won't use it. Status moves are sometimes an exception.

 

[AuraSphere]

Oh yeah, I NEVER use Focus Blast, it always misses for me. (Focus Miss, lol.) Teaches me never to trust 70 accuracy moves.

 

[stardust121]

i normally go for accuracy unless there's a more powerful option with decent accuracy. So i'd go with fire blast > flamethrower if possible, but id go with t-bolt > thunder. there are other things that change my mind like abilities, accuracy boosting items, etc

 

[If U Seek Amy]

I usually go for moves that have 90 or more accuracy with 80 or 90 base power. I don't trust OHKO moves because of the terrible accuracy and it usually doesn't affect the enemy. It just gives the opponent time to hit you.

 

[Victoria]

I like power more, but only in some cases. For example I would normally pick Fire Blast and Hydro Pump rather than Flamethrower and Surf. But I wouldn't pick Thunder > Thunderbolt because if Sunny Day is active, it's accuracy will reduce even further.

 

[Vulken]

In-game is always accuracy, wi-fi is usually accuracy unless under certain conditions (like Blizzard in a hail team or Thunder in a rain team).

 

[DasBoot]

Depends on if there is weather. Like the popular Thunder+Rain Dance combo.
But I am generally too impatient for those. I'll use Thunderbolt, Shadow Ball, etc.

 

[Mythicalzoe]

Accuracy determine if it will hit
Power determine how much damage from the hit
Accuracy>Power

 

[TheWatersGreatGuardian]

Accuracy. The highest power I usually use is 80-95.

However I do love the Rain dance/Thunder combo. Works great with Kyogre.

btw, does Hail really make blizzard 100 % accurate?

 

[PokeMEN]

I go for accuracy most times, except for my galvantula who uses thunder most of the time...good thing its ability is compound eyes (;
