What are the strongest moves of each type? (including signature moves)?

Question

DISCLAIMER: I know this was asked before (without signature moves though), but that was in 2014 now it is almost 2019. So I think we could get a new question about this.

Recoil Damage/Under 100% Accuracy Moves should be included, but after them you should place the one without recoil/under 100% accuracy moves. Both Physical and Special moves should be apart. Z-Moves could be included, but like the rest they still should be apart.

{NO ANSWERS ANYMORE} I have enough to check :P
That's all. SeeYaLater!

Comments

Does this also include Z-Moves?

---

@Stakatacool Hmm..... Yeah. But like the rest it needs to be appart.

---

Making this a comment because I feel like sorting between physical AND special AND recoil AND 100% accuracy is too much to sort.

You could actually just copy and paste this in an answer. *shrug*

---

I can't believe someone actually answered this

---

Lol :P I knew this answer. But I wanted this as a page to find it quickly.

---

None of these answers are right.

---

How so?

---

+Nuivo what are you talking about you’ve said factually incorrect things like 3 times please stop. Also what kind of question is “what are tiers?’ And please don’t offer Pokémon with the OT “PKHeX” for trade nobody wants hacked mons they’re worthless. Someone (I don’t mean sunwun) please edit this to sound more friendly, idk how you’d word this better

---

None of these answers are right? That's one of the craziest things I've ever heard in my life.

lolololol I'm no more.

---

Lololol my brains should be repaired for checking ALL the answers for being correctly (wish me luck :P).

---

holy mew that is long but u get my vote

---

Psycho Boost isn't a Z-Move e.e

---

I didn't say it was a Z-move, when I put Psycho Boost in the z-move category, I meant a Psychic Z-move based off of Psycho Boost was the strongest Psychic Z-move in said z-move category (in this case tying with a z move based off of Prismatic Laser, and the species specific Z-move Light That Burns The Sky) :P

Not as good as Molthree or Stakatacool? I included non recoil etc. moves separately and Molthree didn’t. -_- I am offended.
