[Orion-Sama]

Good Poll. Likely to be overshadowed by random Starter Polls, though.

Ah well...

Normal: I love Return and Attract. The first one is sheer proof of your Pokémon's love toward you, and it's quite the nice feeling when you see a Pokémon pulling a full power Return for you. Attract was a favorite Move in GSC, and is also Whitney's TM. <3

Fire: Flamethrower, Will-O-Whisp and Sacred Fire. The first one is the best Fire attack, and best of Magmar's attacks. Will-O-Whisp has a cool animation, and is a great Move for Gardevoir. Sacred Fire is awesome and is Ho-Oh's Signature Move.

Water: Surf, because it's best.

Grass: Magical Leaf and Sleep Powder. My Bellossom uses both, and Magical Leaf is my all time favorite attack as well. ^^

Electric: Thunder Wave. Paralysis is my favorite Stat Condition, and Thunder Wave is the best paralyzer in existance.

Ice: Ice Beam. One of the best attacks in the game.

Fighting: Brick Break. Like the animation, the effect and the widespreadness.

Poison: Sludge Bomb, 'cuz it's best.

Ground: Earthquake. The usual.

Flying: Aerial Ace. Good enough and widespread. Nice animation and name as well.

Psychic: Calm Mind. Awesome booster, and another of Gardevoir's favorites.

Bug: Signal Beam. Like the animation, and is spread enough.

Rock: Rock Slide. You know already.

Ghost: Confuse Ray. Quite cool looking, quite annoying, and Poképimps choice. Look at Gengar and Magmar.

Dragon: Dragon Claw. Need I say it again?

Dark: Crunch. Ahem...

Steel: Meteor Mash. Awesome animation, related to Stars, and awfully powerful. Not to mention it can raise attack and is Metagross' almost-signature. =o

Hm, let's see if I can even remember all of the types. >.>;

Normal: Attract. It's very helpful in most cases, and .. uh, my Skitty pwns.

Poison: Sludge Bomb. Generally strong, and it's decent on any Pokémon.
Flying: Aerial Ace. Always hits. ;o
Psychic: Calm Mind. I love raising stats.
Bug: Signal Beam. Looks awesome, it's kinda cool, especially for a Bug-type attack.
