Thread: Moves you think a Pokemon should have.

So how can a 1-foot tall bird support a human?

Pokemon logic doesn't make sense :P

On a serious note, how come Yanmega doesn't get Fly? It's clearly bigger and has larger wings than any old Pidgey.

Weavile, why you no have Sucker Punch?? D8 I hacked a Sucker Punch onto Weavile once in Platinum, and he was a BEAST with it. He needs the move for real! OTL

Weezing NEEDS to be able to learn Gunk Shot. That would make him a whole lot more exciting to train.

I always thought the Nido's should of had fake out as a level up. Just suits I think :3

Finally
Golurk: Gear Change - Because you got to find first gear in your giant robot (car).

1st) ^^ agree. I thought it was very wired...
2nd) YES! first MegasXLR reference I've seen on the internet. I though I was the only one who remembered that show!

Like what was said before, Gliscor should get Fly. Back when I was a total noob, I thought it could learn Fly because what's-his-face in Shadows of Almia had a Gliscor that carried him around using Fly.
And isn't Gliscor easily big enough to carry a human anyway?

I was wondering why Absol doesn't get Fake Out. It makes no sense!

Why is Gyarados a flying type, but does not learn any real flying moves?
I've never seen him fly in the anime.
It's probably just to weaken his typing so that SOMETHING can beat him, but still.

It's also called "Slap Hands" or something like that in Japanese. Absol doesn't really have hands, so... yeah.

Neither does Liepard but she still has Fake Out.

*cough*glameow*cough*

The Japanese name of Fake Out, "Slap Hands", can also be read as "Cat Deception". That's why all the cat Pokes (Meowth, Skitty, Glameow, Purrloin, and their evos) can learn it.

My goodness, I love Japanese double-entendres.

Gyarados is part Flying-type because when he was introduced in Gen1 he was supposed to be Water-Dragon and thus have only one weakness: Dragon.
But since the only Dragon-type move in Gen1 was Dragon Rage (which does 40 damage) Gyarados had no weakness and would be very over-powered. So they made him a Flying-type to give him a weakness.
Still, it doesn't explain why he STILL is a Flying-type as GF could probably easily change it since plenty of Dragon-Type moves have been introduced as well as Kingdra.

OK, now I have some ideas for Espeon:

1)Extrasensory (IT'S NAME HAS E.S.P. IN IT DARN IT!)

2)Focus Blast or Vacuum Wave (It needs something to deal with Dark-Types.)

3)Signal Beam or U-Turn (Again, to deal with Dark-Types.)

4)Power Gem (Deal with Bug-Types. And It has the gem on its head for it to work.)

5)Hypnosis (Allows it to use Dream Eater properly.)

Heck, anything that learns a Sleep-Inducing move should get Dream Eater if they don't yet, and anything that already can learn Dream Eater should have a Sleep-Inducing move in their Level-Up moveset.

Also, Noctowl should get Nightmare again. This combined with Dream Eater and Hypnosis can make for a very bad Rest.

Espeon already has Signal Beam. Pl/HG/SS move tutors.
