Thread: Moves you think a Pokemon should have.

Hmm, Poliwrath and Close Combat? Or Pinsir with Megahorn? Or every single Grass-Type 'Mon with Weather Ball?

Serperior and Power Whip - I mean, its body is basically a whip.
Bronzor and Mirror Shot - It is a mirror. Its Japanese name is Dohmirror.
Bronzor and Mirror Coat - God damn it.
Shedinja and Destiny Bond - The way it's described makes it sound like Destiny Bond anyway - why not give it the move?
Magmortar and Flash Cannon - It has a cannon for an arm.
Whismur and Echoed Voice - Derp.

THE POKEDEX IS A LIE!!! Most pokémon who should obviously know a move just don't for some reason even if the pokédex says they should o-o

Sandslash should learn Spikes. Not sure why GF hasn't cottoned onto this yet, but half of its body is made of Spikes. (It should also have Rough Skin as an ability, but that's another point...)

And, Mawile should learn:

Superpower, Hyper Fang, Clamp, Seismic Toss. Its jaws are supposed to be strong.
Charm, Teeter Dance. Read its dex entries.
Roar. Seems like it could roar.
Encore. Most cutemons can learn Encore.
Pursuit, Revenge, Grudge. Strikes me as the vengeful type, for some reason.

Sableye should also learn:

Metal Sound. It eats, and is made up partly of, gems. Surely it can make some noise with them?
Grudge, Memento, Spite and Disable. Generally Ghost's moves. Just so it's even more annoying with Prankster.

Magmorar should have Flash Cannon and Pidgeot should have Extremespeed. Blastoise needs Shell Smash and Ho-Oh and Lugia need to get Hurricane.

Ariados - X-Scissor

Beartic - Ice Punch

Typhlosion and Blaziken both need to have Thunder Punch again.

HOUNDOOM, Y U NO HAVE DARK PULSE ANYMORE!?

*ahem*

Anyway aside from the above Flareon should definately have Flare Blitz and it would be pretty cool if Ninetales could learn Psychic since it already has Extrasensory, Psyshock and Dream Eater.

Evidently, I've heard that Typhlosion coud use Earth Power. Not sure why, but ah well.

Anyways, I was considering the Eeveelutions yet again, and I figured that each should get one extra move in their level-up moveset. Most of which is extremely Farfetch'd, but hey, a man can dream, right?

• Vaporeon: Water Spout (With it's huge HP+access to Wish, I can see it being very powerful for a good deal of time).
• Jolteon: Zap Cannon (What else is there besides Volt Tackle, which is signature to Pikachu anyway?).
• Flareon: Sacred Fire (Breaking the rule above, but I figured Flare Blitz and Wild Charge on the same 'Mon would wear it out quickly).
• Espeon: Psycho Boost (Again, a rule breaker, and I can't see Espy using it, but there's much else).
• Umbreon: Comic Power (This+Work Up+Stored Power=Small dent in the opponent?).
• Leafeon: Power Whip (Leaf Blade is cool, I guess, but imagine the damage output from this move on him).
• Glaceon: Sheer Cold (It learns Blizzard already, and much like Espeon, what else is there?).

Uh, comments, criticisms, complaints (go to the office), I guess?

The giant tuft of hair/grass on his head? Or his tail? Or both?

Anyways, yeah, I don't necessarily agree with the picks for Flare/Glaceon, but that's all I could think. Unless, Glaciate instead of S. Cold, and......well, the Fire-type is kinda strapped for physical moves that a quadruped can use. Flame Wheel, but that would only work with Technician *smiles*. And like I said, both Flare Blitz and Wild charge would eat away at his already low health. Those legs are too short (no Blaze Kick), and he has paws (no Firepunch).

Yeaah...

Glaciate for Glaceon has the same problem as Sacred Fire for Flareon.

True, but it's really weak, I don't think there'll be much "OMG GAMEFREEK SUX DEY GAV A SIGGY MUUV 2 GLASON!" going on.

The recoil from Flare Blitz doesn't really matter, to be honest - it'll still be doing quite a lot of damage, which I'm fine with.

True......

I would suggest Flame Charge, but it is a pretty bad move. I don't really see a problem with Flare Blitz.

He already gets it. And from personal experience, it's not all that bad when you factor in STAB and a Guts boost. Plus, the increased speed is always helpful.

Yep, and Kingler as well. He has Crabhammer and Dive as his only Physical-Stab options.
