Remember these are the most powerful only, not the actual best moves. For example, Frenzy Plant stops you from moving the next turn so it’s not a good move at all.

Also, it doesn’t include Z-Moves or Max Moves, many of which end up more powerful. This list also ignores OHKO moves and focuses on moves with base power.
