Pokemon Ruby: Is Fake Out a good move?

[PokéUser1]

hello,
I have just unlocked fake out for my pokemon Makuhita and I am just wandering whether fake out is worth replacing another move for.

It is a Makuhita level 19 and the move list I have got at the moment is:
Tackle (Normal)
Bulk Up (Fighting)
Vital Throw (Fighting)
Arm Thrust (Fighting)

If it is a good move and worth getting, which move do I replace is with?

Personally I dont think Fake out is good long term. its a one time use type move except for switching and what not but if u are playing the CPU it could be disruptive but against players the player will use that move again unless it does massive damage. in a nut shell Short term: yes. Long term: no

Hope thats help

yeah thanks, but I found out that it could be useful so I replaced it with tackle!

Tactically yes, it always hits first and causes the opponent to flinch and if the user's speed is high enough it gives it the opportunity to land another move.
Out of those attacks replace it with Tackle, it's an ok move to have at early levels but those other 3 moves are great for Makuhita since it's a fighting type Pokémon, Bulk up will increase it's Attack and Defence which will add more power to Arm Thrust and Vital Throw.
