Thought you guys might want a laugh.

How could an attack as profoundly basic as Thunderbolt be on a list comprised of moves that are so absurdly overpowered that they should probably be banned?

There’s a reason most players in Generation I kept Articuno on their team for the fateful battle against Lance, and that reason is, unquestionably, Ice Beam.

From the moment you saw this solid beam erupt from your Pokémon and collide with your enemy, covering the victim in razor-sharp icicles, you knew it meant business.

Sure, there was always the potential of freezing your opponent (more-or-less a fate worse than a KO), but the real draw of the move (and why it’s so ban-worthily overpowered) is its sheer, raw attack strength, and unyielding accuracy.

Legitimately, you can pretty much disregard Pokémon types and blindly fire off Ice Beams to the point where it’s almost guaranteed you’ll take multiple enemies down before fainting yourself.

… yeah, Ice Beam should probably be banned.

Honestly I have to agree with this guy, Hyper Beam is meta-breaking. Tbolt and Ice Beam also need some looking at, those 10% chances are a real kicker there. And don't even get me STARTED on Protect. Being able to not take damage for one turn is SO busted, and scouting out an opponents move is INSANELY useful. And in doubles, you can avoid ALL damage for a turn if both of their mons target you. The worst part is there is absolutely NO counterplay. You can't hit through Protect after all. It's not they could use that turn to do anything BUT hit you. And Megahorn? Absolutely NO downsides! Just like Stone Edge!! BAN THAT TOO!!! CLOSE COMBAT has BARELY any downsides AS WELL! Lowering BOTH DEFENSE?? That's NOTHING! And GOD FORBID you have ANY recovery, THAT'S JUST INSANE!! It's NOT like the enemy can do SOMETHING to deal more than 50% HP IN ONE TURN!!! AND substitute MAKES YOU INVINCIBLE and there is NO WAY to DAMAGE you THROUGH IT or COUNTER it in ANY OTHER WAY!!!
