Moves you think Pokemon should be able to learn, but can't.

It would be cool if Umbreon could learn Tail Glow. With it, Special Attack could finally be a decent path to take compared to Attack (Curse+Payback combo).

Also, Espeon needs Power Gem. I don't know how useful it would be, but any Pokémon with a gem on its body should be able to learn it!

Emboar seriously needs to learn more fighting moves. I know it has already been said but as a fire-starter fan (except torchic/combusken/blaziken) it needs to be said until nintendo gives us more fighting moves.

If normal types can learn multiple Moves types then there's no reason why switcheroo should be an egg move only for Lopunny!

Venusaur/aromatherapy:seems strange for a pokemon that carries a giant flower on its back, don't you think?
Bronzong/heal bell: My favorite one. Bronzong is clearly based on a bell and it can't ring to help its teammates? bronzong would have made an awesome cleric with its defenses and typing.
Jynx/teeter dance: It is a humanshape pokemon that "rocks its body rhymically." There's no justification for it not to learn the move.

Milotic needs to be able to learn calm mind. Imagine that thing's walling capabilities. There's no reason it can't, as it is said to be able to appear where two people are fighting and remove their negative emotions and calming their minds. And yet it can't learn calm mind. I seriously hope it will be able to in a later gen, if there is one. /rant

I thought kyurem ate pokemon...

Speaking of which, he needs ice shard pretty badly, every other 3rd legend got some sort of priority. Haxorus should learn megahorn too.

Pokemon Ruby #371: BAGON has a dream of one day soaring in the sky. In doomed efforts to fly, this POKéMON hurls itself off cliffs. As a result of its dives, its head has grown tough and as hard as tempered steel.*checks moveset* Can not learn Iron Head. Wtf?

I have always believed that Eruiption should be Camerupt's signature move and only his. I mean, he ACTUALLY erupts fire out of his back. How does a Typhlosion 'erupt' ?? does he shoot fire out his but or something?

Tail Glow is currently exclusive to Volbeat and Manaphy.

As for Power Gem, even Dialga and Palkia are not compatible with it despite gem-like features.

Typhlosion is the Volcano pokemon, and can rub its fur together to create gigantic explosions, as well as being able to generate so much heat that it can make almost any object burst into flames. In addition to all of this, he has flames on his back that shoot up and get stronger when it is angered. It would be wierder if it couldn't use erupt.
