Guys, maybe Pokemon can actually learn more than 4 attacks, but they actually can't use more than 4 in the same battle. I mean, we have seen Trip's Serperior to use 6 moves: Frenzy Plant, Energy Ball, SolarBeam, Dragon Tail, Wrap and Leer. I doubt someone like Trip would really make his Pokemon to forget such powerful moves as Frenzy Plant or Solar Beam, so maybe Pokemon can actually learn more than 4 moves, but only use 4 of them in battle.
Besides, there's the fact of the TM, which can be used several times to make a Pokemon learn, forget or even "re-learn" some moves. By TM, Krookodile can learn Dig, Aerial Ace, Dragon Claw and Stone Edge. So Krookodile can forget and recover these moves any time he wants, but Crunch can't be learn by TM, so he can't forget this one. Besides, how can you make a Pokemon crocodile forget to use his teeth as weapon, when teeth is the "signature weapon" for crocodiles? Don't you think I'm right? That would be easier for fans to accept that make a Pokemon lose one of its favourites moves.
Besides, don't forget the particulary case of Virgil's Eevee. In the Unova League, it has offensive attacks; but in its job as Pokemon Rescue, it also has moves to help its partners with Helping Hand and Protect. So maybe Pokemon can actually learn more than 4 moves, but only use 4 of them in battle.
Aerial Ace? Who would've expected a flying-type move... Awesome new addition to its moveset.
OK, I hate to admit it, but maybe Krookodile's Crunch is really going to be story. I have checked old videos of Pokemon Battles where a Pokemon uses Bite or Crunch, and there's something strange in it. In most of the times, it's not shown how the Pokemon "bites" the opponent. As you know, in the anime is really hard to see a Pokemon using a Ground Type attacks that involves quaking the earth; mainly because in Japan earthquakes are really common and destructives.
I think something similar happens with Bite and Crunch. I mean, in reality, if a tiny animal bites you (like a crocodile baby) that's not a big deal. But instead, if a big and dangerous animal like an adult crocodile bites you, that can be very unpleasant. So, maybe they are erasing Krookodile's Crunch because is more unpleasant to see it now; since as a Sandile, his teeth was more "inoffensive" than now, when he's an ferocious Krookodile. And the animators probably don't want any "violent biting scenes", like in the first movie, when Charizardtwo bit Ash's Charizard in the neck.
However, I still find as a nonsense to make a Dark Type Pokemon not having any Dark Type move. As far as I see, they will have to replace Aerial Ace in the future for another move; I bet for Dark Pulse. So, what do you think of this?
I disagree. It's not pleasant when a animal scratches you (Dragon Claw), or when another stabs you from the ground either (Dig, as some kind of snakes), and yet he learnt both.Quote:

OMG I'm thinking Pignite evolves and beats Hydreigon and then Riolu evolves to beat Emboar.
I'm pretty sure it's stock art, specifically from this. Could be wrong, though.Quote:

Im not bothered if he doesn't have a dark type move (Gliscor's final move set didn't have any flying or ground type moves, and it was a sweet move set), and I find crunch to be the most ineffective move in his move set anyway. I don't want him to lose stone edge since it gives Krookodile good long range abilities, Dig is good for dodging and attacking and he just learnt dragon claw. Swiping someone to attack is a lot more effective and easier than biting an opponent
On top of what Karamazov has said, that has nothing to do with Ash's battle with Kenyan.Quote:

I hope Krookodile isn't lerning a move to be honest but if anything, get rid of Crunch and I hope to Arceus that this turns out to be Foul Play or Payback somhow.
Luckily, no new move has been annouced for Boldore, hope it stays that way.
And yet they don't mutilate each other :TQuote:

All that Leavanny needs now is some Grass move, like Leaf Blade, to replace Razor Leaf, and maybe something to replace String Shot. Either way, Leavanny will be fine with that. And Palpitoad's 4th move gap is finally going to be filled, though I think he needs some melee move.Quote:
