Do you think strong low accuracy moves, eg thunder, fire blast, or weaker high accuracy moves, eg flamethrower, surf are better?

Obivously, the high powered moves do more damage, but is it worth the risk of not hitting? Is it better to use a move that almost always hit but won't have as much of an impact? How much do the Pokemon's stats come into play when deciding whether to use high powered low accuracy moves or not? Or do you prefer to play it really safe and use 100% accuracy moves like swift?

Hopefully we'll be able to get a bit of a debate going, so go right ahead and post your views

I think it depends on the player. Some people juat want to defeat the opponent ASAP so they use the unreliable moves. I perfer to stay away form those moves. Others like the good accuracy because it can sometimes save their Pokemon's lives. I use both. Ex: In Pokemon black, my Samorott has megahorn, revenge, razor shell, and surf. I only us Megahorn when i have to. It hasn't failed me yet. Combining the weak and strong moves is very important, but... there is always accuracy bosting Items/abillitys so you can use those those, too.

Hey, am I one of the few who gave this long of an answer?
