What do you think is the most over-used move in the Pokemon Anime?

Back in the first season it was Tackle attack, notice how they don't do that anymore?
 
Ice Beam. It's so damn overused!

Also Thunderbolt, Volt Tackle, and it's starting to be Energy Ball.

Same how Pikachu hardly ever uses thunder anymore either.

Others I remember: Razor Leaf, Quick Attack and Iron Tail and now Energy Ball since it seemed to replace razor leaf almost.

Because they have to showcase the latest moves.

Don't you mean Thundershock? Pikachu stopped using that I think somewhere in Johto.

I remember Thunder being used during AG at least, I don't know if its done it in DP.
 
Thundershock? I did not really remember Pikachu using that, I was thinking of Thunder, but I can see why thundershock is less used as thunderbolt is more poweful. I think thunder was used at least once in D/P, I remember it being used in the episode with the electrike at the breeders trying to perfect its thunder.
 
There were many Kanto eps where Pikachu used Thundershock, but it stopped as the show went on.

I mean really. Thank goodness for Piplup not knowing that move and Buizel only rarely using it. Neither did Corphish, but I think the omnipresent Mudkip/Lombre Dual Water Gun Attack more than took care of the Water Gun quota for Hoenn.

Don't forget most of Misty's Pokemon used Water Gun too, so we were all especially sick of that move.
 
Ever since Pikachu learned Iron Tail freaking EVERY POKEMON ASH & CO. MET KNOWS IRON TAIL!!!

Same thing for:
Flamethrower
Ice Beam
Thunder(Bolt)
Swift
Hyper Beam(and how!)
Shadow Ball
Focus Punch
Water Gun(It's overpowered in the anime)
Bubble Beam(I'm looking at you Piplup!)
and alot more!
 
Double Team was quite overused back in the day, not so much anymore.

Well, Hyper Beam and Water Gun were a given. Also, every fire Pokémon uses Flamethrower, while I don't remember anyone else than Torchic and briefly Charmander using Ember...

If "dodge it!" counts as a move, then...
 
thunerbolt is the most over used move
and i am sick of water pokemon only using watergun its irritating
