new attacks

iv searched a few pages back but dont see a thread like this. turtwig learning energy ball recently made me wonder what new attacks the rest the characters pokemon will learn. heres what i think: (brackets mean when/if they evolve)

Ash

;025; - feint
;397; - roost, take down (close combat and brave bird)
;387; - leech seed (leaf storm)
;390; - (mach punch, close combat, flare blitz)
;418; - agility (ice fang, crunch)
;207; - slash, quick attack, metal claw, x-scissor (night slash, cross poison)

Dawn

;393; - brine (drill peck, metal claw)
;427; - (attract, return)
;417; - super fang
;424; - last resort, shadow claw

Brock

;185; - hammer arm
;453; - (revenge, mud bomb)
;440; - counter (heal bell)

feel free to add your own opinions and other characters into the mix like paul, zoey etc.
 
I agree with Smokey12's post and I was thinking maybe Pikachu to learn Shock Wave and Turtwig to learn Extremespeed in addition to the moves mentioned in the post?
 
I could see Pikachu learning Shock Wave perhaps. He also could make good use of Double Team or Charge Beam.

For Staravia, he could use Roost, as said before, and I also could see him learning Brave Bird, Featherdance, Take Down, and Double-Edge. Sand-Attack could also be good for some uses too. ^^ Combos with WHirlwind?

Turtwig has Energy Ball for a new move recently. Yet, I think another good move for him would be Crunch, as an upgrade for Bite. Leech Seed and Bullet Seed could also be good, since Ash has used them well with Bulbasaur and Sceptile, so why not let Turtwig learn it so he can use 'em well too. :) Hmm... He also may make good use of Body Slam.

Out of all of Ash's current Pokemon, Chimchar has the most attacks. If he learned some new ones, I could see him learning some Fighting-Type attacks or other Physical attacks besides Dig, Pound, Fury Swipes, and Flame Wheel. Fire Punch, Brick Break, Iron Tail, and Blaze Kick come to mind for him.

Buizel has some solid attacks so far. If he learned new ones, I'd see him learning Swift, Razor Wind, Quick Attack, Agility, Slash, Headbutt, and Brine. Whirlpool could be good for him too.

And not sure for Gligar. I'd wait for his attacks to decide.

I also will wait on deciding for the others for now. ^^

turtwig knows leech seed i think cause it used it before bryon.
 
Thjat mighta been Gardenia's Turtwig. :) The only attacks I know Ash's Turtwig have are Tackle, Bite, Razor Leaf, Strength, Thrash I think, and Synthesis. You might think Synthesis.

When in the world did Turtwig use Trash and Strength? He only had Bite, Tackle, Razor Leaf, Synthesis and now Energy Ball.
 
Great topic!

Ash
;025; -- feint, light screen, secret/hidden power
;397; -- roost, steel wing (close combat, brave bird, pursuit/astonish)
;387; -- (leaf storm, EQ, crunch, solor beam)
;390; -- (mach punch, rock smash, flare blitz)
;418; -- agility (ice fang, crunch, razor wind, surf/hydro pump)


Dawn
;393; -- (brine, drill peck, metal claw)
;427; -- (low kick, attract, captivate, facade, return)
;417; -- super fang, u-turn, covet
;424; -- slam, tickle, payback, last resort

Ash-
;025;- Reversal. You have to admit, Pikachu can take some strong hits. With Reversal he could throw back some major damage.
;397;- Brave Bird and Pursuit. Brave Bird is bound to happen eventually, since it's the Starling's signature move. Pursuit, I just don't know why. Personally, I think it fits him. (I know it's definately not one of the better choices)
;387;- Crunch and Rock Climb. Crunch to replace Bite, as said before. Rock Climb would really help in the Pokémon League on a rocky terrain.
;390;- Heat Wave, Shadow Claw, and Counter. Heat Wave, similiar to the extreme Flame Wheel used against the Zangoose pack. Shadow Claw, so he actually gets another physical attack. Counter, so he can flip someone over his head. (Tell me that a monkey flipping things over his head isn't funny)
;418;- Ice Beam. Ash needs something to take down a Rhyperior! (If and when he fights one, I can say that he will be given a hard time)
;207;- I don't know his current moves, and I don't exactly know his fighting style.

Dawn-
;393;- Aqua Ring. Imagine a Grand Festival style contest, and Piplup using it to heal it's partner.
;427;- Sky Uppercut. Mix it with a Bounce and you have yourself a super charged uppercut!
;417;- Flash. I can't really think of much, but it would open then opponent up so then Pachi could attack with a Spark.
;424;- Shadow Ball. Swift is it's only special type if I recall.
 
Well these are the possible attacks the pokemon can learn, i don't think any attack other than this can be learned by them (i don't say they will learn all of these attacks but some of them are possible),

Ash

Must Learn Attacks:- Knock Off (it knocked off Ash in DP64 around 3-4 times so it must know this), Dark Pulse or Night Slash (for 5th gym)

---------------------------

Dawn

Piplup - Drill Peck or Pluck, Surf or Waterfall, Aqua Ring, Flail or Endure (When evolves :- Strength or Cut, Steel Wing or Flash Cannon, Avalanche)

Chimchar- Shadow Claw, Close Combat

Turtwig- Leaf Storm

Staravia- Brave Bird, Roost, Close Combat

Gligar- X- Scissor, Guillotine

Buizel- Razor Wind
 
I dont think Pikachu will learn any attacks. I also dont think Ash will keep Gligar until they go to iron island then he'll throw it back to oak

but I think that Sudowoodo will learn low kick, Happiny copycat, and Buneary Jump kick

When in the world did Turtwig use Trash and Strength? He only had Bite, Tackle, Razor Leaf, Synthesis and now Energy Ball.

Well, I've seen him fling Pokemon far after using Bite so I assume he has Strength, and it looked like he did Thrash on the Geodude and Mankey who were arguing in his first appearance.

I ain't 100% sure, sooooo... just guesstimates.
