Twineedle is an extremely useless move. It can only be learned by Beedrill and has a Base power of 25 x2, if it hits twice. With STAB, its 37.5 x2. Lets calculate.

37.5 x 2 = 75 Base Power

Silver Wind has a Base Power of 60, 90 with STAB. That is already more than Twineedle's Base Power. Now, to finish it off, if we count the effects, Twineedle's Poison effect and Silver Wind's raise all stats effect, which one is better? Silver Wind of course.
 
Twin Needle sucks, it just does, horrible move, without STAB silver wind almost beats it with STAB silver wind destroys twin needle, dont use twin needle unless you have a bad moveset and you need it.

yet another pointless thread, twin needle is bad, HP bug and silverwind > twin needle
and for those things that can learn it, signal beam > HP Bug/Silverwind.

Yeah twin needle sucks.
Signal beam and silver wind is better.
The best is megahorn.

I agree with everybody else. Twin Needle may be a good bug move, but there are better ones. It just deals 50 damage anyway. There are a whole lot of moves that are better and do more damage than Twin Needle. It won't also hit the second time either. But if you like it, stick to it. It might come in handy against Pschic Pokemon.

The real question is, what are you using bug moves for in the first place?

To be strong against both Psychic and Dark.


Twin Needle is a strong move maybe, but only one pokemon can learn it, and that pokemon is weak, a Beedrill.

Signal Beam
Silver Wind
Megahorn
Hidden Power Bug

These are all better moves and can be learned by 2 or more pokemon.

Even that Silver Wind has low PP, it is way too much better than Twin Needle. Silver Wind can raise all your stats, what does Twin Needle do?

And, as I said, only Beedril learns it which is a weak pokemon with weak movepool, Twin Needle maybe is just better than Leech Life.

Ramdom psychic/dark pokemon used subsitute!
(P.S beedrill is the only pokemon that learns twineedle)
[EDITED] Oh yeah! Pin missle >: (
But I was trying to say twineedle can break subsitutes and it also gives a chance to poison victims (after the hitting the second time).

But how often is 32.5 base power from a 80 base attack-pokemon enough to break a sub? Very rarely. If you're breaking a sub and damaging, bonemerang or sometimes rock blast is the way to go. Twineedle really isn't much of a subbreaker. Or good move. And Beedrill isn't much of a subbreaker. Or good pokemon.

That's because it's a Never used! Anyway it's not the attack itself that sucks, the pokemon using it is bad anyway, so no one likes twineedle.
