Topic: Why doesn't (insert pokemon) know (insert move)?!

[SirBlaziken]

This is where you tell about the moves that pokemon should know but don't have. You can also say moves that seem odd for a pokemon to have.

For me, why does Xerneus not have earth power? I mean you're going with the geo theme here, plus it would cover weaknesses. It makes so much sense.

Edit: *Realizes title is typed wrong* *Facepalms*

why doesnt latias get aromatherapy just ughhhh why

[SaRo|Rapidash]

Why doesn't Magikarp learn Roar of Time? It just makes sense.

[Wolstenholme]

Why doesn't Carbink learn any decent fairy moves? I hate it when Pokemon don't learn any good moves from their own type.

Carbink learns Moonblast, the best special Fairy type move there is (Hyper Voice is Normal, get out trolls D:<)

But on the topic of Fairies not getting Fairy moves... WHY doesn't Dedenne get Moonblast, or even Dazzling Gleam?! Dazzling Gleam even makes contextual sense with it being an Electric type ._.

[Wolstenholme]

Yeah but that's not v.useful when you want to use it IG and it's only like level 19 and you just want a move with about 15-20 PP without 60 power and 100 accuracy.

[Richard and Blaziken]

It also gets Dazzling Gleam via TM, so there's that. But overall, Carbink attacking is about as threatening as throwing feathers xD

[SirBlaziken]

Even though haunter and gengar both have arms, explain to me how gastly uses sucker punch please. Same with murkrow and honchcrow.

[Captain Jigglypuff]

How come Inkay and Malamar do NOT get Octazooka? I mean they are in the same Egg group as Octillery and are both squids WHICH also produce ink naturally.
All the feline type Pokemon should have access to Pay Day.
Hitmonchan should get Meteor Mash since it technically get a boost from Iron Fist.
Powder should be given to all the moth and butterfly type Pokemon with the exception of Volcorona in which case Fire moves are pointless to be used on it.
Machamp should definitely have access to Arm Thrust.
Camerupt should have Heat Crash.
Sharpedo should get Beat Up.

[SaRo|Rapidash]

Why doesn't Sableye learn destiny bond? It's like the ultimate dirty trick which would suit is so well contextually.

Also Gyarados needs Crunch. Is it really only capable of a 'bite'?

[Captain Jigglypuff]

Sludge Wave should be an Egg Move for Gastly as all the special Dream World moves on their respective Pokemon.

Sableye should get Beat Up

Gallade should get Sacred Sword

[Petzbreeder]

Hitmontop should have Topsy-Turvy since, like Inkay, it battles upside-down.

[SirBlaziken]

Hitmonchan learns Hi Jump Kick, yet it doesn't get Sucker Punch? Last time I checked, it was the punching pokemon, not the kickboxing pokemon.

[Raphetty]

Sucker punch means "an unexpected punch or blow". It does not literally have to be a punch.

EDIT: I just looked it up and it doesn't even count as a punching move for Iron Fist.

This for example prevents Hitmonchan from getting the Iron Fist bonus when using Sucker Punch via Metronome or Mimic, or if a Sucker Punch Pokémon acquires the Iron Fist ability through Skill Swap or Role Play. Otherwise, there are no Iron Fist Pokémon that learn Sucker Punch.

[Captain Jigglypuff]

Hitmonchan SHOULD get Poison Jab since the move CAN be used as a punch attack as shown by Croagunk and Toxicroak in the anime.
