My hated moves in Pokemon are Stealth Rock, Detect, and Protect. I chose Stealth Rock because it's just plain broken (strips away at most half of health in just one turn of set up) and Detect and Protect are just stalling moves and are also annoying ingame.

Any others worth mentioning?
 
Hyper Fang, because it is quite powerful and it is learned at a very low level. This means that it will probably take away half your health every time one of those stupid five-levels-lower-than-you Rattata uses it.
 
Any moves that cause paralysis. I'm especially looking at you, Thunderwave. It's the most common form of statusing out there.

Yesyesyesyes. My brother was able to beat me only because his Jolteon paralyzed almost all of my people.
 
Ground types are the best counter against paralysis (except Stun Spore). Paralysis is very annoying, though. I hate it how it lowers your speed and you only have a 2/3 chance of attacking.
 
I agree with Protect and Detect, those are so cheap, especially since I've seen them used twice in a row. Also, despite their low accuracy, one-hit KO moves are annoying, especially when an NPC uses them. It happened to me this afternoon. Also, moves that confuse your pokemon or make them fall in love with the opponent's pokemon.
 
I hate Poison Point, Effect Spore, Cute Charm and Static. Ugh.

Attract really does suck, but switching out to a different gendered Pokemon or a genderless Pokemon does the trick. Or using a Red Flute. The good thing about Attract is that it only affects opposite gendered Pokemon, unlike Paralysis, which is far more versatile. Ugh. That's why I hate paralysis more than attract.

Confusion sucks a lot as well, but my Pokemon snap out of it pretty quickly.
 
The most hated move of people that try to shiny hunt electrode and it's evos or geodude and it's evos is Explosion/SelfDestruct.
 
Seeing as how I rely on Physic/Ghost/Fire/Water types, Dark types moves are extremly annoying(and Dark type Pokemon. But I like Electric attack moves.
