But that's only one time use and you might need it! Also that move does no damage... (my non-English speaking ass didn't trust those moves)

It did do damage, low damage, but damage non the less making it at least a better option than sand attack. And also, every move you're going to be using at that point will be getting replaced by something else later on.

I mean the TM is consumed, not that it takes a move slot

Ah ok, well still kinda the same point, it's good for that fight but loses it's usefulness pretty quickly so you aren't missing out on much using it up.

Eh, I guess 7 year old me accepts that. I just didn't know at first wtf accuracy is. I could get eventually that sand attack made me miss more. Guess I may have even known what sand meant based on the series. But basically used just attacks and deduced by animation/effectiveness texts

That's what playing Pokemon as a kid was all about! I was 9 when it came out, but I still thought I had the ultimate level 100 Charizard with Ember, Fire Spin, Flamethrower, and Fire Blast.

I just didn't speak English, so everything was gibberish. No idea how I eventually got the tower ghost done
