RE: Moves Pokémon should have but don't.
While this might be, how about we not go off names? Considering the fact that we have different names for moves and Pokemon than Japan does. We might as well say Rock Throw is where you just drop rocks on the opponent, or Calm Mind is where you meditate(lol we already have that move) I'd also rather base my claims on how this move goes off (i.e. Rapid Spin spins you around)

RE: Moves Pokémon should have but don't.
One thing I've always though was weird is that Bagon gets Hydro Pump as an egg move, but Salamence isn't capable of using Surf. If a Pokemon can shoot out a large blast of water, why can't it be on top of it? It could fly near the water surface to cause a wave.
Dragonite is in a similar boat. It can learn Surf and Waterfall, but it can't get Hydro Pump. Recall that in RBY it could learn Water Gun.

^heh... One thing is ride on water, another thing is shooting water from inside the body... although if Salamence can do it, I don't see why Dragonite wouldn't be able to do it as well...

Especially considering Dragonite has more connection with water to any other type (excluding Dragon/Flying)- Water 1 egg group, found in the water (for it's pre-evos and itself), and the fact that most of it's 'Dex entries refer to it's 'marine habitat'.

Heatmor. Fire Punch. That is all.
IIRC, Houndour gets Poison Fang in the Dream World.

On a slightly less related topic, I REALLY want Sheer Force Nidoking with Superpower. Darnit GameTroll, why couldn't you put Move Tutors in Black and White?! And Sheer Force really needs to affect Giga Impact. Really.

Superpower on Nidoking would be awesome. I know it doesn't get the SF boost but it can help against Blissey.

RE: Moves Pokémon should have but don't.
..You are absolutely right. There goes my idea for an epic Physical Nidoking... I was thinking, "O hei, nido gets sheer force, superpower, and head smash, that would be completely awesome." Well, I probably wouldn't find a way to build a team around that anyhow.Deus: Nightmare Autarch said:

A bit of something I forgot on my previous post: Either Giratina should learn Fire Blast / Flamethrower, or Palkia should no longer be able to learn either. It makes absolutely no sense to me that a Water/Dragon can learn those two moves and yet a Ghost/Dragon cannot. (Yes, for some reason it's taken me until practically BW2 to notice Palkia and a fair few other Pokémon get Fire Blast / Flamethrower and there are so many others that should get them but don't.) I just don't understand their reasoning behind it.

RE: Moves Pokémon should have but don't.
Oh definitely. Like Gyarados can learn Flamethrower. Giratina does look like it could breathe fire, but even though Palkia is Water/Dragon, I can imagine it using the move easier than Giratina. Same with Gyarados. Maybe Game Freak thought it'd be too good?Xous said:

I personally think Hitmonchan should've had Dizzy Punch; I thought it was unfair when it was (until Generation III) Kangaskhan's signature move.

RE: Moves Pokémon should have but don't.
I really have nothing to complain since I always find ways to have my pokemon know moves to counter weakness
(e.g.: Garchomp-Fire Blast, Stone Edge, Dig, Draco Meteor
Mienshao- Uturn, Bounce, Rock Slide, Hi Jump Kick)
BUT I do complain about things like why does ELECTRODE learn GYRO BALL, I mean like I know its round but Electrode and Voltorb speed is near top rank. Why not Dusknoir, its a ghost type, change into ball form and attack.
BTW for people with trouble with Grass types (the very weaknessed pokemon) have it know a rock and ground or physic type move without being the actual type and that is another no weak point pokemon.
People with Shedninja- I learn this from experience, if you get enough BP get Focus Band, Focus Sash is one use for that battle only (unless it gets switched out), learned that the hard way
