Worst charge move in the game?

Is it the infamous twister? Or is there a worse one?

Some of the notable bad ones that decent pokemon learn include heat wave, dig, ancient power, water pulse, icy wind and vice grip.

Scald (Blastoise) if you include a move that can't be learned

At least Twister is SE against Kingdra and Dragonite LOL

Vice Grip is worse than useless

Each Twister takes almost 3 seconds and does 45 damage. Dragon tail does about 40 damage in that time. Each twister gains you a net 5 damage!

Each Vice grip takes almost two seconds to do 35 damage. In that time dragon tail would do about 27 damage. Net gain of 8.

Vice grip is marginally better than twister damage wise.

Vine Grip is not super effective against anything, Twister stop Dragonite at least for a while, plus it's dodge window it's frustrating to face

The worst ones that can be learned seem to be poison fang, Struggle and Vice Grip (3 bar 35 Damage), worst of the 3 being struggle with a 2.2 seconds cooldown, after those, there's Stomp (55 damage for 50 energy and 1.7 s cooldown).

Stomp isn't a bad move, it's on par with cross chop and iron head. Doesn't belong on a list of worst moves.

there's several 50 energy moves at 60 damage that are a whole second slower.

Submission

Twister is an infamous defending move, used in rapid succession, with a fast damage frame, defending wise is like a body slam, hydropump is infamous, but a weakned Pokémon can be koed before spamming it, while a weakned gyarados can always spam a Twister or two, not that defending means something, but if you want to hold a gym before a raid, a dt/tw gyarados can be a nasty addition to the defending blissey/chansey/snorlax
