What are the best moves in Pokemon Emerald
the best 5 moves in Pokemon emerald are


1.sheer cold
fissure
2.hyper beam
3.hydro pomp
4. thunder
5.hypnosys


What about eruption and water spout

both power 150 and accuracy 100


Sheer Cold is not even worth learning. If the user's pokemon's level is above the opponent pokemon's level, it's accuracy % is (user pokemon's level-opponent pokemon's level)+30. That means it will usually take 3 or more tries to land. If the user's pokemon's level is BELOW the opponent's, it will always miss.
Fissure is very similar, although it always misses unless the user pokemon's SPEED is higher than the opponent's, and then it's accuracy is only 30%. It's even worse than Sheer Cold.
Hyper Beam is always a good choice, but only if the attack will kill the opponent in one hit. Similar moves are Blast Burn, Hydro Cannon
Thunder and Hydro Pump are not even the best of their class - both have low accuracy. Better choices are Fire Blast and Blizzard (and even Thunderbolt).
Hypnosis is a status-causing move and so I don't think it should be mentioned in this list. However, better status moves are Toxic and Sleep Powder.
