Here are my top 5 of the most annoying moves I have seen when trying to capture pokemon:

5. Curse: saps your HP while it causes target pokemon to faint

4. Recover: This move alone makes Mewtwo, Ho-oh, & Lugia harder to capture

3. Double-edge/take-down: recoil moves can cause these pokemon to faint.

2. Outrage/Thrash: Causes target pokemon such as rayquaza & gyarados to get confused then faint.

1. Roar/Whirlwind: Once the legendary dogs use roar and you accidentally save, they are gone for good.

Probably explosion, self destruct. Although they dont happen very often

Abra's teleport isn't evil really, since it's only on low leveled Abras one ultra ball = almost guaranteed capture.

Rest can also be annoying, especailly if the pokemon you use to damage the poke is different than the one that does the status effect...

I think take down and other recoil is super annoying since I usually get pokemon to very little health and then capture them. And in the start thunder wave is annoying

I wish Mr.Mime could learn mean look as it would be perfect with its soundproof to prevent one of the legendary dogs from doing roar and leaving us heartbroken if we accidentally saved the game.

I used to have problems with pokemon either killing themselves or running away, but once I was able to get Master Ball and use the copying cheat that you can use in Pokemon Gold to make as many MB as I needed, even uber pokemon are no problem.

My personal annoyances are:

Sand attack (and all accuracy lowering moves) because when the opponent uses it, it nearly always stops you from attacking them

Quick attack because even if you are level 100 it goes first, the weakest pokemon wastes your time by using quick attack

Explosion/selfdestruct as the always use it if they have it

poison sting/ anything that can poison as they usually poison me most of the time, and after battle the hp drain is so annoying

Finally roar/whirlwind

Here are some pokemon types to help counter such annoying moves:

roar: a soundproof pokemon like Mr. Mime, whismur, loudred, or exploud

self-destruct/explosion: a damp pokemon like golduck or poliwrath or quagsire

takedown/double-edge: a ghost pokemon like shedinja which I credit for capturing a modest kyogre

teleport: a pokemon that knows mean look or any trapping moves.
