Bad in singles, good in doubles
-Protection moves (depends)- Follow Me/Rage Powder- Me First (not available in gen 8 but still deserves a mention)- After You- Mat Block- Trick Room and Tailwind are still good moves, however in double battles they are much better- Fake Out is less valuable in singles than in doubles- Rock Slide, Heat Wave, and Muddy Water are outclassed in singles, but aren’t bad- Snarl, Icy Wind, Bulldoze- Skill Swap- Psych Up- Fling- Aurora Veil, Light Screen, Reflect are less useful in singles than they are in doubles- Safeguard- Wide Guard- Quick Guard- Swagger- Decorate- Coaching- Helping Hand- Ally Switch- Quash- Feint
Good in singles, bad in doubles
-Toxic-Stealth Rocks- Sticky Web- Spikes- Toxic Spikes- Defog, because its main purpose is to remove hazards- Stone Edge is lesser seen in doubles due to the ubiquity of Rock Slide- Hydro Pump/Scald are worse than Surf in doubles- The poison type is pretty bad even in singles, but Sludge Bomb isgarbagein doubles because Sludge Wave hits both opponents
Hope this helps! And if I missed anything, can you please tell me in the comments? Thank you
