Pom's :8::C: has to be my favourite move in the whole game, I can use it offensively, defensively, it has good range, deals a good amount of damage, and it's part of why I decided to main her. Thing is, I may like it too much, and I definitely use it quite a lot. Now, I know that it has its weaknesses, everything has, my question is, is the move really as good as I think it is, or am I falling for some sort of noob trap?

It's only a noob trap if you use it irresponsibly, i.e. if you continue to spam it even when it's clear the opponent knows the counter and can execute the counter.
It's only a noob trap if you don't understand how the move fits into your overall gameplan (which, it fits into a lot of Pom's strategy).

One of the biggest mistakes new players do is to stop using a really good move when the opponent didn't really give you a good reason to stop using it.

If you open your mailbox and find a letter from the IRS saying you owe back taxes, Pom's j.C isn't going to save you.
