:::::The word Quash means to reject or suppress something, and is usually done by someone of a high authority. So in this case it would also be considered obvious that the ones who learn it could be considered "high status" Pokémon. <sup>[[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|<span style="color:#C00;">★</span>]]</sup>[[User:Jo The Marten|<span style="color:#C00;">Jo the Marten</span>]]<sup>[[Flygon (Pokémon)|<span style="color:#C00;">★</span>]]</sup> [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|<span style="color:#C00;">ಠ_ಠ</span>]][[Cilan (anime)|<span style="color:#90C870;">♥</span>]] 10:51, 1 August 2012 (UTC) | :::::The word Quash means to reject or suppress something, and is usually done by someone of a high authority.

::::::Quash isn't a very commonplace verb; most people looking at the page are as unknowing of the word's meaning as they are when they look at [[Barrage]] unless they refer to a dictionary, when really they could read the trivia, which, along with noting that Pokemon that learn the move have higher or royal status, could state the definition in relation to said fact. And Seaking and Serperior are weird cases I guess, I mean that too could be noted in the trivia just as it is noted when a Pokemon whose Pokedex implies it uses some kind of move actually can't learn the move that is implied (take Octillery and Hydro Pump for example). <font face="Verdana">[[User:Blue Ninjakoopa|<span style="color:blue">BNK</span>]]</font><sup>[[User talk:Blue Ninjakoopa|Talk]]</sup> 10:56, 1 August 2012 (UTC) | ::::::Quash isn't a very commonplace verb; most people looking at the page are as unknowing of the word's meaning as they are when they look at [[Barrage]] unless they refer to a dictionary, when really they could read the trivia, which, along with noting that Pokemon that learn the move have higher or royal status, could state the definition in relation to said fact.

::::::::Further noting that Magikarp couldn't learn this anyway even if the programmers wanted it to, since it /can't/ learn any TMs, so it's naturally excluded because Quash will not be the exception. Seaking doesn't count because its Japanese name does not have the English form of 'king' in it, unlike Yadoking, Kekking, Kingdra, etc. Empoleon does count because 'emperor' is the royal equivalent to 'king'. Serperior doesn't count because 'lord' is not strictly a king/queen title and can apply to lower forms of authority than the absolute highest. Aggron doesn't either, because unlike Honchkrow, whose species gives it definitive authority as the only seemingly unorthodox one of the non-legendary pokémon, Aggron's species has nothing to do with authority, and again, 'boss' does not strictly belong to the absolute highest authority when /your/ boss more times than not will have his own boss, thus not making the word 'boss' an exclusive title, just like 'lord'. Honchkrow's species indicates it IS the absolute authority, since no one is the boss of the Don (Dongkarasu) in a mafia: it's the top dog, and the combination of purposefully-mafia!Don-affix+relevant species name+dark type pretty much indicates why it's here, and likely why it's the only one with Murkrow who can learn it via level-up. So it's not about 'high authority'; it's about the 'highest authority'. *two cents; not really arguing for or against* This is where a name origin for some moves would be nice, though.
