Noobish Movesets you had

Adeku

Formerly Torterra14
Lol

I gave my 1st Torterra these moves:

Razor Leaf
Earthquake
Leaf Storm
Stone Edge

This was before I got into competitive battling.
 

~Goth~

~Dark Trainer~
in Silver..my Feraligatr

Strenght[I did OKO Red's Pikachu & Feraligatr was at lv. 72]
Surf
Crunch
Hydro Pump


Pidgeot:
Fly
Hyper Beam
Thief[I was like..."now u psychic types will gonna be killed by my pidgeot!!!"]
Mirror Move
 

Falthor

The Magma Incarnate
I remember it perfectly.

RBY
"Squirt" / Blastoise
Level 86
- Hydro Pump
- Water Gun
- Blizzard
- Ice Beam

Everyone else was at Level 36 or lower. xD
 

Woozl

Raisin' a stink
My most noobish moveset would have to be...

RAICHU
Thundershock
Thunderbolt
Thunder
Double Team

Three different damaging electric moves, such diversity! :D The double team I would max out evasion on a trainer's first pokemon, then hope not to get hit coz Raichu was always way underleveled for what I was fighting. Hahahha

A notable 'noobish' thing I continue to do though is keep lower damage, higher PP moves on my pokemon while I am playing through the game with them... going across the ocean and fighting 872348 swimmers is easier with thundershock than thunderbolt. >_>;

I do fix up the moves before I battle competitively with them though.
 

Caelesti

dancing queen
One of my Blastoises had the moveset: Hydro Cannon, Hydro Pump, Water Gun, Tackle. :X
 

xKaamos

German User
R/B/Y Clefable
Fire Blast
Blizzard
Solar Beam
Thunder

Phew, kinda embarrassing. *lol*

/edit @J-Myc
Nah, you're right. I only know the german names exactly, so it's easy to do a mistake with other names for it.

Cero Miedo!
Awesome new move

Fire Storm

Phew, kinda embarrassing. *lol*
Yea especially when there is no Fire storm, you probably meant Fire Blast.

In my R/B/Y I taught my Pidgeot
Fly
Wing attack
Mirror move
Sand attack

But it got me through the Elite 4 and Champion.

Edit- I checked Fire Storm and its probably German

gone gently
Fire Spin, how could I forget that, I remember putting that on my Charizard and Moltres in RBY mainly because the move looked so cool in the anime.....how I was so wrong. I used Fire Blast over Flamethrower for that same reason, I mean who wouldn't after that epic battle between Blaine's Magmar and Ash's Pikachu/Charizard.....ah good times.

Well, if I remember correctly, back in RBY, Fire Spin made the opponents incapable of attacking at all for those turns it damaged them. You could spam Fire Spin if you were faster, and not take a single hit (counting on accuracy). It was a godly move.

I've a few terrible ones.

Umbreon (Silver)
Zap Cannon
Iron Tail
Shadow Ball
Some other move.

Tanks didn't exist to me back in G/S/C. It was obliterate as soon as possible or nothing.

Your Umbreon pleases me. There is no such thing as a terrible Umbreon. :D

Kaamos, don't be embarrassed; now that you mention it, my Wigglytuff had a far, FAR worse moveset back in the day:

Wigglytuff
Double Slap
Body Slam
Metronome
Hyper Beam

Can you imagine? Hyper Beam on a Wigglytuff? xD

I quite agree, Profesco. Fire Spin was AWESOME back in Gen I, when you could trap the opponent with it indefinitely. ;006;
 

Profesco

gone gently
Blissey, with attacks XD

Thunder
Flamethrower
Hyper Beam
Softboiled

A Hyper Beam Blissey? Folks, I think this thread has been won. But seriously, what a visionary. *sparkly eyes*
