Aww but Raikou is so much better than Entei though. Entei is the lamest in design and movepool. Raikou looked and still does brilliant.

Hate it. It was a signature move for a reason.

Seriously? OK, yeah I'm fine with it. Signature moves are overrated anyways. Heart Swap, Relic Song? plz. And to top it off, a hundred other things would kill for Sacred Fire (which actually deserves it's rating) as it's the best physical fire move in the game. Hands down. Blaze Kick is too shaky, and Flare blitz is cool, except for the self-inflicted injury two seconds later. I'm hoping Articuno get's Aeroblast at one point, and we can just pass Hurricane off to Zapdos who needs it more anyways. That way all the birds are content. The dogs are already boss enough. Suicune needs it's Curse back before anything else. Raikou is fine right were it's at. Most special sweepers would cut their left arm off for Aura Sphere.

To be honest, I think it was just expected. Really, no move in the games is gonna remain a signature move forever, eventually all moves will be learned by more than just one Pokémon. And I personally am ok with that. I mean Entei does look like a Pokémon that can use a powerful move like Sacred Fire, so why not give Entei access to that move?
And I also must point out that this is not the first time a Legendary Pokémon no longer has its signature move.
Moltres, Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion, Reshiram and Zekrom used to have a signature move, but their signature move was able to other Pokémon later on.
Kyurem might be connected to Zekrom and Reshiram. But at the time these Pokémon were introduced they were the only ones who can learn Fusion Flare and Fusion Bolt, which is no longer the case.
As for sacred sword, it might never have been available to just one Pokémon, but it does count as a former signature move as it was exclusive to the musketeer trio at the time. And the musketeer trio are very connected.

Considering the fact, Kyurem only gains the move with the respective fusion, it's still an exclusive. Once another, unconnected Pokémon gets it, then we can stop calling it exclusive.

I hate all signature moves like V-Create! They are to strong!

... Can I just ask how Splash, Electroweb, Kinesis, Barrage, Ally Switch (somewhat, at least in Gen VI due to it losing its TM Status and only being learned by Kadabra and Alakazam), Gust, Low Kick, Clamp, Metal Claw, Hold Back, Celebrate, Happy Hour, Powder, or Aromatic Mist are too strong?
How so?
It gave Entei a Move that was usable with its Stats and STAB, similarly to Flareon and Flare Blitz.

Why should they do that?
Not every Legendary Pokémon has a Signature or Exclusive Move, and neither of it's fellow Legendary Beast members do, so I fail to see the point to it, when they could simply make Flare Blitz a non-Event Move for it.

Thundercats Hoo!
What irritates me more than Entei getting Sacred Fire? All the people who keep calling the trio the 'legendary dogs' when Entei is clearly a Lion (Or Foo, which has been incorrectly identified as a Foo dog, when it is a Guardian Lion) and Raikou is a Tiger. Suicune can be whatever it wants.
But on the actual 'issue'? I'm still waiting for Entei to get Earthquake. You know, that thing that tends to happens when a Volcano goes off. Entei sniping Sacred Fire isn't really that bad considering how out of the legendary gerbils, this foo is the one pitied the most.

Really it would be simpler and more uniform if their ambiguous title of Legendary Beasts were to remain in usage.
What I think is somewhat bizarre is how Entei doesn't learn Eruption, despite its close connection to volcanoes.
