Not sure about moves they should be able to know, but I'm very curious to how Ryhorn can use Tail Whip and Diglett can use Scratch.
inb4 flareon and flare blitz. srsly though, it does need it.
That's probably why more pokémon can't learn it. As far as I know, I don't think there's any move unavailability based on gender in Pokémon unless you count nidoran (so as long as a species can learn a move, both sexes can unless the two sexes are a different "species"). There aren't a lot of other mammilian all-female pokémon except for the vaguely reptilian nidoqueen, jynx, which would probably be kind of awkward, and kangaskhan, which doesn't have much of a reason, but maybe kangaskhan saves its milk for its baby. So unless the move was changed so that male users needed to be in the presence of a female of their species for it to work, it probably wouldn't make much sense. So it's probably simpler to just make it miltank's signature move.Not only mammalian, it should be also required to be female.
Emboar's Pokédex entry from Black:
It can throw a fire punch by setting its fists on fire with its fiery chin. It cares deeply about its friends.
Yet it can only learn Fire Punch via Move Tutor. That's a little jacked up.
Maybe samurott would rather not damage its shell.Samurott has his shell armor, but cannot learn shell smash. Also, his pokedex entry that he dominates others by glaring/howling, yet can't learn the moves himself...if he only had outrage
Poliwrath's sure got a fine set of chompers, now doesn't it?That would be, like, every Pokémon.
That might be because getting licked by a dog wouldn't harm anyone, but that doesn't explain why snubbull can use it.I got another one. Growlithe and Arcanine should learn Lick. Didn't we see Growlie lick James at certain points in the anime? Not to mention a lot of dogs in real life like to lick people they like.
Couldn't agree more on hurricane and aerial ace (shoot, there are ground types that can use that move while gyarados can't), it's possible gyarados doesn't get fly because its flying type was really mostly just to give it an exploitable weakness to de-cheapify it. I don't think it's ever actually been stated it can fly, and I don't remember it actually doing so in the anime. Then again, the doduo line's type alone appears to justify its ability to learn the move, so it might still be said that gyarados doesn't have much of a good reason not to.If Gyarados should learn any Flying move other than Bounce, I think the only ones that makes sense are Aerial Ace, Fly, and Hurricane.
It can use Aerial Ace with its tail, Hurricane is consistent with how Dragon Rage looks like in the anime, and Fly....well, it is based on an asian legend about a carp turning into a flying serpent. All depictions of the legend, that I've seen at least, shows the serpent to be basically like Rayquaza, which is also based on wing-less asian dragon that can fly anyway, despite lacking wings. And yes, I know Fly is "Sky Jump", but Bounce is technically a "sky jump" as well.
Maybe it's because scizor is explicitly described as not using its wings for flight. Volcorona appears to be a similar case to beedrill and venomoth, only lacking the type because it had defining features which made a different secondary type suit it, and the designers for whatever reason, didn't feel like making up for that with levitate. Scyther probably didn't get fly before that because the designers apparently decided to make it strictly unavailable to bug types before gen 5, and by then, scizor gave reason for the line not to get it.Yanmega as well as Scyther learning Fly would be great, they have the size for it, and they should also have the strength for it, also I don't think it really matters much if that means Scizor can learn it as well. Volcarona and Genesect can, adding a few more won't hurt.
Maybe that's because payback is umbreon's type while revenge is not? Again, shaky, but then again, payback was a TM move while I don't think revenge was ever a TM, which would mean that umbreon would either have to learn an offensive fighting type move naturally, or the not particularly suitable eevee would have to learn it through breeding just because it fit one evolved form.Umbreon should have been able to learn Revenge....its entire premise is being a slow attacker after all. Payback and Revenge are basically the same thing, except with different type. If Umbreon can learn Payback, why it can't learn Revenge as well?
Don't they have Hurricane?Moltres can, and both Zapdos & Articuno lacks a Special-based Flying move, so why not Air Slash?
Eh, it's usual form doesn't really have impressive arms....Black Kyurem should be able to learn Ice Punch. Ice Beam is more powerful, but is a Special move. Freeze Shock is Physical move, but it's a 2-turn move, which I generally don't like using.
Garchomp needs Fly. Why? It's dex entry, that's why
There's a difference between flying and attacking with Fly. I don't a LAND Shark's going to be too comfortable that high for that long.
The Pokedex specifically says that Emboar fights with flaming punches, yet it can't learn Fire Punch.
