User:Dilophosaurus Rex/Pokémon

Moves. There are a lot of different moves, and the majority of Pokémon can learn a wide array of moves. But some make you wonder: why can't they learn that move? Here's the moves that (in my opinion) are missing from certain Pokémon's movepools. I will sort them by move and also give reasons for my choices.

List of moves

The moves will be sorted in alphabetical order.

Acid Spray

Pokémon that should know Acid Spray in my opinion:

Bellsprout, Weepinbell, Victreebel, Scrafty: Pokédex entries mention that these Pokémon are capable of spitting acid.

Spinarak, Ariados, Joltik, Galvantula: Spiders tend to use all kinds of acids to melt their prey's insides with.

Carnivine: Flytraps like Carnivine also generally use acids to help digest their prey.

Agility

Pokémon that should know Agility in my opinion:

Sandile, Krokorok, Krookodile: Crocodiles are capable of moving extremely fast for short periods of time, and Feraligatr can learn Agility, so...

Pawniard, Bisharp: After seeing Pawniard in action in BW041, it definately seems capable of rapid movement to me.

Air Slash

Pokémon that should know Air Slash in my opinion:

Axew

Shiftry, Drifblim: Both are related to winds and have sharp-looking appendages with which blades of air can be formed.

Gabite, Garchomp: Garchomp's Pokédex entry states that it can fell trees with blades of air when it runs. Gabite's physical shape resembles Garchomp, so it would be able to do the same.

Axew, Fraxure, Haxorus Their tusks look capable enough to create blades of air with. If Oshawott and Sewaddle can do it...

Gallade, Pawniard, Bisharp: They can create blades of air with their arm blades.

Aqua Jet

Pokémon that should know Aqua Jet in my opinion:

Horsea, Seadra, Kingdra: These Pokémon are very fast, and I think Aqua Jet suits them.

Goldeen, Seaking: These fish Pokémon can swim very fast, so they would be able to lunge at high speeds.

Huntail, Gorebyss: These fish Pokémon aren't very fast swimmers, but they can lunge very fast to catch prey.

Aura Sphere

Pokémon that should know Aura Sphere in my opinion:

Ralts

Clefairy, Clefable, Chansey, Blissey: They all have this mystical and pure aura around them, which makes them candidates for Aura Sphere, IMO.

Ralts, Kirlia, Gardevoir, Gallade, Gothita, Gothorita, Gothitelle: These Pokémon read emotions of other people, which means they're proficient with aura.

Meditite, Medicham, Darmanitan: Through hardened meditation, their aura becomes so strong they can harness it in battle.

Celebi, Sigilyph: This elusive move will add to their mystery factor.

Autotomize

Pokémon that should know Autotomize in my opinion:

Magnemite, Magneton, Beldum, Metang, Metagross, Magnezone: Due to being made up of multiple Pokémon, these Pokémon could easily shed parts of their body to make themselves lighter and faster.

Belly Drum

Pokémon that should know Belly Drum in my opinion:

Kangaskhan, Ludicolo, Grumpig, Bibarel, Pignite, Emboar: These Pokémon all have relatively fat bodies and large bellies that they could drum on.

Snubbull, Granbull, Slakoth, Vigoroth, Slaking, Cubchoo, Beartic: These Pokémon are all prone to anger and physically oriented, so they could use the power boost.

Snover, Abomasnow: They're kinda fat, and Belly Drum + Ice Shard could give them a useful niche in the metagame.

Oshawott, Dewott, Samurott: Aren't otters known for drumming on their bellies using the food they find?

Druddigon: Kinda fat, and it'd give Druddigon something that other dragons like Salamence, Hydreigon and Haxorus don't have.

Blaze Kick

Pokémon that should know Blaze Kick in my opinion:

Magby

Pokémon that should know Blaze Kick in my opinion:

Ponyta, Rapidash: Horses are known for their kicking, they can learn Double Kick, and they're on fire.

Magmar, Typhlosion, Magby, Magmortar, Pignite, Emboar, Pansear, Simisear: They are all Fire-types, and they all have well-developed legs to kick with.

Hitmontop: Hitmontop could spin so fast that it sets its foot on fire because of the friction.

Meditite, Medicham: They could use their psychic powers to control the fire with or something.

Brave Bird

Pokémon that should know Brave Bird in my opinion:

Charizard, Togekiss: The Zubat line proves you don't have to be a bird to know Brave Bird.

Spearow, Fearow, Noctowl, Pidove, Tranquill, Unfezant: These guys desperately need better Flying STAB.

Aerodactyl: It's technically not a bird, but it would go great with its Rock Head ability.

Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres: While Articuno may not need it, it might be helpful for Zapdos and Moltres, giving them some mixed potential.
