What moves would you like to see return as a TM or Move Tutor move?

Pokemon Fan

Knuckle Trainer
True but Game Freak could just make Kangaskhan unobtainable, which will allow it to be brought back as a TM.
Wait, are you really suggesting that they make a pokemon species unobtainable in any way for an entire generation? That seems really unlikely.

I'm not really understanding these suggestions either for adding quite weak/inferior moves to the TM list, like Razor Leaf, Submission and Mega Drain. I'd rather TMs were reserved for moves that a pokemon could conceivably want to keep in its moveset to the end of the game.

Not for one generation, but just in a pair of games. They could also make that Pokémon postgame exclusive. But since Leech Life got a buff and became a TM in Gen 7, I'm expecting something similar to happen to another move. Since not much has been done to Constrict and so few Pokémon learn it, maybe it will unexpectedly become a TM with a base power buff and with both a chance to reduce Speed and to flinch.

You know what I liked as an early game, but also somewhat viable option TM, Bullet Seed. Bring that back as a TM please.

Explorer of Ruins
Oh boy...
Dig
Leaf Blade
Water Pulse
The Terrian moves (either TM or tutor is fine)
Incinerate
Stealth Rock
Bubblebeam
Tri Attack
Frost Breath and Leech Life need to stay
Dragon Breath
Dragon Pulse

My favourite
Some moves I'd like to return as TM/tutors:
  • Submission (however I'd also like to see it buffed)
  • Dig (it was strange to see it gone)
  • Curse
  • Giga Drain (as a TM instead of a tutor move)
  • Vacuum Wave (as a Tutor move)
  • Avalanche
  • Play Rough (as a Tutor move)
Also, Nasty Plot and Air Slash are moves I'd like to see become TMs.

Cramorant is too cute for words!
Let’s see
Water Pulse
Dragon Pulse
Shock Wave
Trick Room
Surf
Fly
Waterfall
Dive
Cut
Strength
Rock Smash
Thunderbolt/Flamethrower/Ice Beam and Thunder/Fire Blast/Blizzard.
I’d also like to see these added
Giga Drain
Heat Wave
Throat Chop
Brave Bird
Night Slash
Air Slash
Air Cutter
Worry Seed
Heat Wave
Magnet Rise
Earth Power
Power Whip
Sand Tomb or Fire Spin
Water Shuriken (also buff power to 35 or 40)
Blaze Kick
High Jump Kick or Jump Kick.
 

Sceptile Leaf Blade

Nighttime Guardian
Water Shuriken (also buff power to 35 or 40)
You do know that Water Shuriken hits 2 to 5 times and has priority right? How broken do you want it to be? You're looking at something that'd be on average quite a lot more powerful than Extreme Speed, especially with additions like STAB and people potentially using Araquanid to Entrainment Water Bubble on the Shuriken user.

I'd like to see TM Bullet Seed return. And while they are at it can we add TM Rock Blast.

I'd also think it be fun to see the 3 gen3 starter "signature" moves added to the TM list. Aka.

TM Leaf Blade
TM Blaze Kick
TM Muddy Water

I reckon Blaze Kick as a TM/tutor move would have a really interesting move distribution, that would be a fun addition.

Wouldn't Fairy Wind be like Water Gun from Generation 1?

I guess but the Fairy type needs more TMs. If you include the LGPE TMs, there are only two which is the lowest number for any typing excluding the retired ??? Curse TM.
