signature moves

[9voltdude]

I think in the DP games they should give all the underused pokemon with bad stats (such as aipom and volbeat) a powerful signature move so people well then actually use them

what bad underused pokemon do you think should get a powerful move and what would the move do?

We all know this'll never happen.

But I think that this'll never happen.

OK, I really think that Murkrow or Wooper should get some "good moves." I dunno which, but they should.

PS: I think that this'll never happen.

wtf? you do know that wobbofett is uber right? he isnt underused but murkrow is

 

[Luke the Almighty]

Whoops! I ment to put Wooper! Sorry!

 

[Metal Force]

Hmm this is unlikely to happen, if it did it will be probably for weak pokemons that don't have a pre evo nor an evo.

There is Smeargle, Ditto, Shuckle, Volbeat/Illumise, Delibird.....there are more I'm sure. They can't do that for EVERY bad Pokemon though I wouldn't mind if they did....

A signature move for weak pokemon = bad idea. But it sounds interesting that some pokemon should have a move only they could use.

What, you mean like Ratatta and Raticate using Hyper and Super Fang, Porygon and Porygon2 using Conversion, Conversion2 and Sharpen, Lugia using Aeroblast, and Ho-oh using Sacred Fire?

 

[Dark Pheonix]

No i mean like new moves that arnt already around because i would expect a lot of new moves in d/p.

Yes, they shall be appearing. Most novelty or signature moves often suck anyway, so wouldn't be improving the weak Pokemon.

 

[FireHead Hank]

I dont think this will happen, 'cause some pokes already have something like a sig move. Ditto with Transform, Volbeat with Tailglow, Makuhita with Arm Thrust ...and so on..

But I think something should happen to power up some of the underused pokes(points at his cool but classified as weak Magcargo)...

Well, in my personal opinion, no Pokémon is useless, nor are any of them ugly, weak, anything nasty, to say the least. But, giving them signature moves? Why? There's no point.

Also, who the heck said Wooper doesn't learn any good moves? Uh, Earthquake is a nice move, comprendé??

 

[V Faction]

No point, indeed.

More often than not, this wastes an attack that could have been better off being put on a usable Pokemon.

Not only that, but if the attack is a rather good one (like Hyper Fang or Sharpen), making it exclusive has the potential of eliminating that attack's, well, potential!

 

[TheTurquoiseTauros!]

well isnt swift a sig move?aipom has it and ledian!

 

[hIrAm]

well isnt swift a sig move?aipom has it and ledian!

So do about ten or so other Pokémon. Not to mention the 150 that can learn Swift in R/B/Y.

 

[Vertical Bird]

I think this is a good Idea People would actully use a pokemon thats week in most stats. And not just catch them for there pokedex and let it colect dust in the PC

 

[feebas_factor]

Signature moves, hmm... that's actually not a bad idea, but I think it'd be better and easier just to evolve most of them.

However, for some of them evolving isn't really an option, for example for themed pokemon like delibird, luvdisc, uh, ____ (I'll list more when I remember them). So maybe they should get signature moves to go along with their theme. In other words:

Cool unevolved weak pokemon = evolve
Themed unevolved weak pokemon = signature move

Any ideas on "signature moves" with a "theme" for "themed" pokemon?

 

[Electabuzz]

Usually the gimicky pokemon and the legendaries are the pokemon that get signature moves. For this reason, I see Manaphy, Lucario and Munchlax getting signature moves, but I hardly see it being implemented in past pokemon, because they're not being hyped up.

 

[MetalMario]

Well, the ones that are UU because of their crappy movepools deserve something better. (For instance, they ought to introduce a new attack, "Caudal Illumination", for Ampharos, which raises its Special Attack by two levels.) But the UUs which are UU because they're either unevolved or just plain weak (ie. Luvdisc) don't need anything. They only exist to serve as Nintendo's mascotts, anyway, so why try to salvage bad ideas?

The best signature moves ive seen would have to be, Waterspout and Eruption...Sheer Cold is a nice one as well if used right.

Tho adding a sig. move to every pokemon would kinda kill it...And i agree, there are no weak pokemon, "A pokemon is as weak as its trainer" i always say.
