The "What Attacks Should They Learn?" Thread

Ash's Noibat should learn Dragon Pulse as it 4th move then later when evolve into Noivern should learn Hurricane Draco Meteeor Boomburst Dragon Claw Solar Beam Psychic Shadow Ball Aerial Ace Wild Charge and Fly

Seems way too good for an Ash Pokemon though. I think that at best he might learn Boomburst and/or Hurricane...

I'd like to see Pikachu learn thunder wave, or some more non-electric type moves. Maybe dig or brick break?

And as unlikely as it is, I think it would be funny if Pikachu learned toxic.

I'd love to see Team Rocket's Meowth finally learn a new move. What happened with Night Slash? Even just a technical move that would be useful in non-battle situations would give him a boost (Thief is too easy to point out).

I admit I had a head canon that if a finale ever occurred, Meowth against all odds would finally learn Pay Day, thus finally endowing the trio with vast wealth.

Inkay should learn Topsy Turvy.

I'm not sure how'd they depict it's affects in anime (outside maybe making his opponents dizzy), but it fits him PERFECTLY.

If Z Crystals become a regular part of the Pokemon anime, I hope Ash's Pikachu relearns Volt Tackle so that it can use Catastropika as a new finishing move in place of Gigavolt Havoc.

Gonna post some moveset alterations I wish for but will likely never happen

Ash's Greninja - couldn't care less about the ninja theme, get rid of Cut for Night Slash and Double Team for Ice Beam/Hydro Pump

Ash's Infernape - has the best moveset of all of Ash's aces, just get rid of Flamethrower for Thunderpunch

Ash's Talonflame - Flare Blitz in place of Flame Charge, Roost/Swords Dance for Razor Wind

Clemont's Luxray - Ice Fang or Fire Fang instead of Swift

Pikachu - Bring back Volt Tackle for Electro Ball

Ash's Noivern - Draco Meteor for Dragon Claw

Ash's Torterra - Stone Edge for Rock Climb and Wood Hammer for Energy Ball
