Well, I use Audino on my White. And I have Heal Pulse on my Lucario, which is useless but I still keep it on incase of a shiny.

My Fake Pokémon Wiki! ~ Nemosafid Petition!! ~ Pokémans in real life?They're not the Friendship is Magic Ponies you probably wanted.
I use Delcatty, Lopunny, and Flareon. I don't care, I've won my battles online with them.

A good deal of my teams tend to be made up of early catches or non-evolved pokémon. My bibarel's a fighter instead of my beast of burden, and my Diamond team's also got a kricketune and pachirisu, which I don't think a lot of people use. I'm not sure if as few people use sableye, but it's not the most popularly used of pokémon. And I just might be the only person I know who fights with a luvdisc. As I've mentioned in the unusual habits thread, I'm pretty much more drawn to unusual pokémon, battle styles, etc. and it's hard for me to get attached to a capture later in the game so I'm not the trainer you would catch using something like lucario or flygon. I kind of find it hard to see the fun in doing the same thing everyone else is.
And on the subject of unusual moves, my team always has a singer. Only my Mysterious Dungeon game does not have a pokémon that knows sing. Similar to what Zenotwapal said, I'm beginning to notice the failure rate of the move (though I could have sworn it messes up more in 4th gen games, I remember it working a lot more often earlier), but still so far, I've never had a major game with no singer.

Hitmonlee in FRLG is a great in-game Fighting-type that's often overlooked. Yeah, its movepool is nothing but STAB in a region that's 25% Poison-types, but Hitmonlee hits so amazingly hard with STAB HJK/BB that it's worth it. If you're willing to drag it through Fuchsia's Gym (it has the SpD to take a hit in Saffron), it performs very well in the end-game. Fearow's another good one in Kanto and Johto; it's got better Attack and Speed than Pidgeot, it evolves into its final evo only shortly after Pidgey would hit Pidgeotto, and gets to use the great Drill Peck instead of Fly for STAB in the end-game. I don't really get why Pidgeot is used instead of it.
Tentacruel may be common, but it's fast, it's got good Special Defense, it's got a good movepool, and it has an excellent typing in-game both offensively and defensively. In Kanto, it comes in time to smash Blaine and Giovanni. For Johto, it comes before a Gym that it resists, a Gym whose ace it can one-shot, and a Gym whose STAB it resists. Hoenn, it has access to Giga Drain to beat the rest of the Water-types in the ocean. In Sinnoh, while it doesn't have the best typing for the mid- and late-game, they can be found at high levels, and they perform well against the Elite 4. Did I mention that it's a great Water HM slave?
I do this too; I never use one-off TMs in-game, so my Pokemon generally keep them due to not having anything better to run. They can be surprisingly useful in boss fights.
I'm trying it out in Sapphire. It's surprisingly... not suck. It cheeses Brawly rather well, as well as turning any Trainer relying on Normal, Psychic, or Fighting moves into an instant victory. Night Shade is nice for reliable damage against things with high defenses or Steel-types, and Silk Scarf-boosted Fake Out and Fury Swipes let it fight Normal-types decently enough until it can use Blackglasses Thief/Faint Attack.
I did that kind of thing as well. My charizard's crazily high attack level allowed this to actually work, and its 1st-gen-mechanics broken fire spin could sufficiently bail it out if that didn't work. My swampert didn't have similar results with water gun however, so I did end up being forced to give him more powerful water moves.
Yep, that's pretty much my tactic as well. That and confuse ray, which can lead to tons of hilarious moments of opponents' humiliation.

I like to abuse Vine Whip half the time on Ivysaur evolving to Venusaur <.> Vine Whip pretty much bailed me out in battles of all types..
....except fire and ice.
I also love to abuse the weakest moves to Pokémon.
I love Slam, Dragon Rush, Scald, ECT.
But I love Poison Jab more, as PJ's a life saver with poison types ..
Except on a Haxorus.
I'm using Emolga in Pokemon Black 2. I also for quite a while kept Copycat and Me First on my Lucario. Replaced them with Earthquake though. I also used to adore Metronome since I wanted to know what all the move animations look like. With the internet showing them I lost interest but I still like to have it in the games no one makes videos for of their animations.
I'm just a little boy taking a walk with my monstrous electric-type PokemonThanks to Eeveelover824 for team pose.
Dig on my Zoroark....I don't even know why I put it there....
I usually keep Ember on my fire starters for a very long time until I get rid of it. I don't know about you guys haha.
In Übers, I very often use Espeon, a Pokémon that is almost never used in this tier. I also almost always use Yawn on Espeon, an exceedingly move almost no one ever gives to this Pokémon.
Other moves on Pokémon I use that pretty much no one else seem to use include Sleep Talk on Choice Scarf Terrakion and Stone Edge on Choice Scarf Reshiram.
The world is a strange, random, and unpredictable place. People are capable of spontaneously forming incorrect beliefs and continuing to hold them for no understandable reasons even in the face of contrary evidence, friends no matter how close can suddenly and randomly become enemies, people can perform any actions imaginable with no understandable cause, and luck decides pretty much everything in this world. But it is the experience of the very joy derived from the observation of such chaos... which is what makes life truly so worthwhile.

Body Slam on Venusaur.
I'm probably the only one I know who loves using worry seed. I like any of the ability-changing moves, but I've gotten the most use out of worry seed. My roserade could easily put Barry's Snorlax at risk in Platinum because worry seed would keep him from resting and made him vulnerable to poisoning. I haven't had the chance to use other ability-changing moves like simple beam yet, and I've barely used the ability mummy, but anything that could negate moves that work against you or against your battling partner (levitate, truant, slow start, flame body/static, etc.) is great.

Currently hunting/MM'ing:
I hate chaining. -_-
I use Self-destruct as a exp. gain method. When I want to train low-levelled/weak Pokemon, I send them out first and then swap them out for the Self-destructor, giving them full exp points. It's a bit annoying because of the constant healing, but I prefer it to training everyone like my starters. I haven't seen or heard of anyone else that uses Self-destruct this way
Frost Breath is a move I never see used but use a lot. ^_^
I was able to own Silph Co. with Jynx in Red version. In Sapphire I kept Azurill as an Azurill for the "element of surprise" (Normal instead of Water) but it was really because I liked it more than Marill. I was also using a Skitty in White 2 for the longest time and it got me out of several jams with Copycat.
As far as moves go, I've kept Water Pulse on OshaDewSamurott the entire time i've had it because for me the hax is amazing. My opponents are almost always getting confused lol.
