Swords Dancing Murkrow...?

If you just woke up, and ever bothered to read the Serebii announcements on the main page, you may have also ran across this gem. Apparently, some of the Pokemon in the Pokewalker courses included for HGSS are also equipped with unique moves not normally acquired. Here's some that stick out:

Machop: Leech Seed
Murkrow: Swords Dance (!)
Tangela: Thunderbolt (!!)
Remoraid: Bone Rush (?)
Pikachu(s): Fly, Surf (We saw this coming though)

Plus a bunch of the Pokemon have access to moves that you normally have to breed for like Chingling with Recover. But those are self explanatory and none of them really scream breeding conflict. It's just too bad that Murkrow cant utilize Brave Bird AND Swords Dance at the same time.

Whether these moves are legit or not remains to be determined.

Thundercats Hoo!
They're only legit if you can catch them (Because I don't care for the pokewalker, I wouldn't know if you can or can't). Otherwise, keep on dreaming.

Leech Seed Machop... I am not sure about that one being legit. It could have been a horrible attempt to spell Leer, or it could have been some incomprehensible move by GameFreak.

Thunderbolt Tangela is definitely a shock (I apologize for the pun).

Bone Rush Remoraid makes sense. As gruesome as it sounds, if Octillery can spit seeds and rocks, then certainly it can spit bones...

Swords Dancing Murkrow is not that unrealistic. Certainly a crow can put on a spirited dance by frequently hopping about.

I don't even want to know how it does that.

I have an idea, but it's inappropriate :D. I love the idea of the Flying Pikachu but Thunderbolt Tangela sounds a bit off.

It could have been a blatant misspelling. But don't put anything past Gamefreak.

Tangrowth has access to Shock Wave, so it was only a matter of time before they upgraded it to use a real electric attack. And since both Starmie and Lapras have been capable of Thunderbolt since day one, I'll believe it.

Thanks for naming thye thread after murky :D you made my day. anyway, i think murkrow would appreciate that. nasty plot for those who need special sweepers and swords dance for those that want physical. picturing it using the move is cool too.
Tangela: Thunderbolt (!!)

This one makles the most sense.you can actually picture it happening and probably would only be useful vs flying
Remoraid: Bone Rush (?)

uh...... wtf? probably randomly obtains a bone and uses his mouth to hit stuff.
Pikachu(s): Fly, Surf (We saw this coming though)

As it turns out, the only Pokemon who will have new previously unobtainable moves are, well, none of them. The Pokemon previously mentioned have the same movesets as before, except of course for Pikachu which already received Surf and Fly in RBY and on.

Webmaster Serebii (or whoever) once again pulled one of their web page blunders and the errors were rectified this afternoon. Sorry for the hubbub.
