I found some moves without an on site entry, so I will make an entry for them.
Spider Web
...
<h2>Competitive Use</h2>
<p>Spider Web isn't very useful. The two spider Pokemon that exist, Ariados and Gavlantula, are very frail that they can't afford the time or the moveslot for this move. Sure, the trapping effect is nice, but the distribution really holds it back.</h2>
<h2>Related Moves<h2>
<p>Block and Mean Look are identical</p>
Spike Cannon
...
<h2>Competitive Use</h2>
<p>Spike Cannon has no competitive use. It has terrible distribution, which in fact no one even gets STAB on, and it is one of the weaker multi-hit moves, in which even if it hits five times, it is still slightly weaker than Return. The only user of this move who could be doing some damage with this move, Cloyster, has much better things to be doing with its time.<p>
<h2>Related Moves</h2>
<p>Return is a more reliable option
Icicle Spear is a stronger Ice-type equivalent</p>
Spikes
...
<h2>Competitive Use</h2>
<p>While inferior to Stealth Rock, Spikes is an excellent entry hazard. The best users of this move are the ones who can stay on the field for an extensive amount of time, in particular Ferrothorn, Skarmory, and Forretress. Once three layers of Spikes have been set up, any Pokemon who isn't a Flying-type nor has the ability Levitate is immediately stripped of one fourth of their HP upon just switching into the battle. Stealth Rock can even work well with Spikes, with the two hazard's damage stacking up to easily take down opponents. Be wise, though, as setting up Spikes with incorrect timing can be detrimental since the opponent can take advantage of the fact that you're setting up and can setup and then proceed to sweep your team, or even use Rapid Spin to rid your Spikes from the field.</p>
<h2>Related Moves</h2>
<p>Stealth Rock is a hazard that does Rock-type damage to anything that comes in
Toxic Spikes is a hazard that poisons or badly poisons the target depending on the number of layers on the field.</p>
