Thunder, always loved the animation and it's so strong. I hate when it misses but when it hits with a good thunder Pokemon lights out

I think you can all agree with me that Octazooka at least is the coolest name. It's part Octopus, part Bazooka, that's HYPE.
Metronome was always the most fun to use, though.

This was always an awesome combo. On the flip side: Rest + Sleep Talk was also pretty nice.
Don't think i can pick a favorite move, but I can say that Gen IV had my favorite move selection for its time. Was pretty disappointed with the moves available in Gen III, but thanks to the physical/special split, boosting of some old moves, and ample new 80+ power moves, felt like my moveset options dramatically increased
In the original Game Boy games, Bubble Beam. It has such a hardcore animation. It's so metal. It's the first one in this video, which also showcases how progressively lamer it got over time:
It's not as good in Generation II, but it's still softer. Nothing compares to the brutality of that first-gen version of the move. It's radical.
In the modern games, I love the potency of Close Combat.

Forgot how noisy that move used to be. At least it became kind of like a laser in the 3d games which is better than someone blowing soapy bubbles.
Pokemon blew up around the same time as DBZ so I always loved things that looked like energy beams.
Hyper beam, Ice beam, and Psybeam were my favourites.

Confuse Ray but I don't like to use it. I hate it when the enemy uses it because I think it has like 100% accuracy
Body slam is my favorite, high attack power with a good chance of paralysis (even against ground types) - it just feels good to use.
Crunch is #2 as dark type is super useful and the animation is quick.
Thunderbolt is #3 because of the look, sound, and feel - especially the gen 1 animation like someone else mentioned.
Bite is great as well, in the early game it's one of the most powerful attacks and often makes the target flinch which is amazing.
And yes, I am really hoping Yamper gets all these moves and goes down as my favorite Pokémon of all time.
