Are there some Pokemon Moves that you love to use? Hate to see others use? Think are totally worthlesss or unfair?
Well to start, I love using Magnitude, it is my favorite move of them all, you never know what the outcome is going to be! Although I often get Magnitude 7, still is a fun move to use. I also like using Perish Song. Use that in a double battle, you are set =D Although a shame your Pokemon die as well.
As for the ones I despise, the moves that lower your accuracy or the ones that increase the other Player's Evasiveness... Like Double Team, Smokescreen, Flash, Sand-Attack... yeah. Also Attract, that is another cheap move, usually my Pokemon just sit there in love for the rest of the battle lol...
The one type of move that I think is useless... beginning levels of using attack and defense stat lowering moves. I see them as more useful the higher level you get up, you see more of a difference.
Also Splash is not bad, I love Magikarp =) Although Hoppip is a copy cat haha.
And for unfair moves, I would have to say Double Team again, once they use a couple times and you start missing you are most likely screwed unless you have Swift or Ariel Ace, or something around those lines... But yeah I am kinda raging a bit, since I just lost more than half of my Pokemon to a damn SpiritBomb that kept using Double Team... But hey, still I felt like this was needed. Anyway, so what is your response everyone?

Well, I almost entirely stopped playing Pokémon games about a year or two ago, because I lost interest in them (probably because I played them so incredibly much beforehand), but I know that I never ever used any attacks that didn't do direct damage to the opponent's HP. Additionally, my Pokémon logically never know any moves that only do indirect damage.
As for moves that I often used, Surf comes to my mind, because it's an HM and thus can be taught multiple times and is relatively strong, at least compared to most other HMs. Another one would be Air Cutter which was the attack that I used like 99% of the time when I was fighting with my lvl. 100 Crobat. I don't even know if it's really a strong move, or if my Crobat was just so strong that it would also have instantly killed any other Pokémon with Tackle. Other moves I used relatively often would be Aerial Ace, Earthquake and some more that I can't think of right now.
I also remember that when I first played the yellow version, I spend quite some time with my Pikachu using Double Team against Metapods in Viridian Forest (because they can't fight back), until I realized that the increase of the Evasiveness isn't constant, but resets after the battle. Plus, it was abbreviated as Flu, so I didn't even know what it meant in the first place, but I was assuming it must be something great.
Moves that I really hate when the opponent uses them are ones that can freeze, poison, burn, confuse, etc. my Pokémon and also Attract, because it's pretty annoying.

I wonder that nobody mentioned Hammer Arm. I seriously would like that attack being burned in hell. My brother's Conkeldurr always uses it and it kills me instantly.

I've always loved the attacks that always hit like Aerial Ace or Faint Attack; Aura Sphere especially, since it's 90 Power while the others are only 60.
I also like Volt Switch and U-Turn, since it let's you switch out and attack. And Dragon Tail which is basically a damage-inflicting Roar.
Attacks I don't like are the moves that damage you, unless that Pokémon has the Rock Head ability. But I don't mind Hi Jump Kick as much since it only hurts you if you miss.
And I don't like attacks that lower your own stats except Close Combat which only lowers defense and Special defense.
And like most others, attacks that increase evasiveness or lower accuracy are incredibly cheap. And Attract is the worst status inflicting move there is.

I love priority moves; I absolutely HATE moving second. Stuff like fake out, mach punch, extremespeed, bullet punch, and ice shard. Never leave home without 'em.
(You never forget your first Technician Ambipom with Fake out...)

Torrtera with two great moves, Frenzy Plant and Earthquake. I don't really like using magmatude because there is always a big chance it will do less damage than earthquake. Another great move I like is Shadow Force by Giratina. The moves that I really hate being used against me is Ice Beam, make my Torrtera and Salamence hurt badly, Double Team, evassion n00bs, and Horn Drill

What's the point of that move, it basically misses a turn, or benefits the other player, you try to attack them and they are protected, so it's a turn wasted for both players. Unless the person who isn't using a protecting move uses a other move, like Tail Whip.
Anyway, Metronome is my favourite move of all, it's great when you get a powerful move like Thunder when you are a Munchlax, or something else like Giga Drain, especially when you are low on HP.
I hate the move Horn Drill, you go to catch a Goldeen and it KO's you in one hit.

While I've never played Pokémon over WiFi and stuff, I've seen videos with such things as a Salamence with Rest, Sleep Talk, Roar and Dragon Tail. Dear god.

Before I lost interest in Pokemon, Drain Punch had become one of my favorite moves, especially since it had been buffed in 5th gen. It felt perfect on the awesome Toxicroak I was raising.
Before 5th gen, I always found Tackle worthless because that damn 95% accuracy would mess with me at the worst times. Of course, 5th gen thankfully fixed that by buffing it and bringing it to 100% accuracy. It still messes me up in the various versions of Touhoumon, though, which are based on 3rd gen.
Swagger is both a move I hated getting hit with and a move I found worthless. Whenever an opponent used it against one of my Pokemon, it seemed like it would almost always hurt itself for more damage due to the Attack boost, whereas whenever I would use it against a foe, it would tend to not hurt itself and really hit back with the Attack boost. Absolutely terrible.

Say your opponent is charging a Solarbeam, Sky Attack or something like that, and your poke is weak to it. Then, you could protect yourself from the incoming, possibly devastating attack. That's the moves' best (and probably proper) use.

My most favorite offensive attacks are: Flamethrower, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, Leaf Blade, Surf, Earthquake, Psychic, Shadow Ball and some more but I can't seem to remember. As far as stat changing ones, as far as I used are: Feather Dance, Dragon Dance, Swords Dance, Calm Mind, Iron Defense and I believe that's it. Sometimes, I start with flooding the enemy or myself with stat changes and then go full power on. A good strategy, I believe.

Another practical use for Protect and Detect is to use them in a combo with Wish. For example, let's say that your Poké is getting low on health and is slower than the enemy, but can still survive one hit. The enemy hits it and almost kills it, and it uses Wish. Then, it uses Protect/Detect so that it does not take damage that turn, and then at the end of the turn it gets healed with Wish.
A Poké that uses that combo effectively is Blissey. I've seen a lot of Blisseys with a moveset consisting of Seismic Toss, Toxic, Wish and Protect.
Oh, and before I forget:
Splash.

Sheer Cold, Fissure (When Sucessful!)
Secret Power, Zap Cannon, DynamicPunch, BraveBird, Earthquake & Dig
And I agree with Luigi-San: Detect and Protect are annoying when used against me...
