Moves Pokemon Should Get

[Halloween]

I think it's hilarious that Shedninja can learn Final Gambit.

give Beedrill Quiver Dance, Mega Horn and Bug Buzz, at least... what's the point of giving a mega evolution to a Pokémon that's still going to be terrible? or give him vespiqueen's attack order/defence order/heal order by tutor... i mean he'd still be terrible but he could be upgraded from jehovas witnesses terrible to kitchen utensils commercial terrible

I don't get you, weenie.

Mega Beedrill is a terror. What gave you the idea that it's terrible? The thing has base 150 attack and base 145 speed with Adaptability. That's a base 140 power U-turn and a base 160 power Poison Jab. It's the perfect scout and pivot, with protect and the strongest U-turn of any Pokemon, rivalling Choice Banded Scizor's. The fact that it gets Drill Run to hit steels and Knock Off for even more utility is amazing. Pair Mega Drill up with the Lord Magnezone in OU and it's an excellent Volt Switch + U-turn core that can terrorize teams.

Also, are you really suggesting that Beedrill be given Quiver Dance? And use Bug Buzz? The move that boosts Special Attack, SpDef and Speed. Beedrill has a special attack stat of 15 and an attack stat of 150! So why are you wanting to use a special boosting set on a Pokemon whose attack stat is literally 10 times higher than its abysmal special attack?

Also, Beedrill is so frail, it doesn't even get time to set up with the vastly superior Swords Dance, which it actually gets. It's too busy scouting, protecting and killing things outright to have the chance to sit and boost when its whole idea is to grab momentum by rapid sniping and pivoting. If it can't even afford to competitively use a move that boosts its attack, I don't at all understand why you want it to sit and boost a special attack stat weaker than sunkern's and magikarp's, and try and bulk its defenses with Quiver Dance or Defend Order when a light breeze kills it anyways. And since it only ever has room for U-turn, Poison Jab, either Knock Off or Drill Run and the mandatory Protect (because it has to have that one safe turn to Mega evolve and acquire the deadly speed and power boosts) it really cannot afford to use a boosting move at all, much less one that attempts to boost its terrible bulk and special attack.

Forgive me if I've become too caught up in this, but the idea of QD Defensive Beedrill just was too much. The only part of what you said that I can agree with is to grant Beedrill Megahorn, as that would place a monstrous 240 base power PHYSICAL move at its disposal.

i think ho-oh should get flare blitz to go along with its equally powerful sacred fire

[NickCrash]

Aerodactyl should be able to learn Drill Peck and Brave Bird.

It's a fearsome mega that has to rely on Aerial Ace, which is disturbing.

Give scyther fly already.

Lot of shing posts everywhere all of a sudden!

I again agree, all the larger bug/flying types, which can -clearly- carry a human, should be able to get HM02 Fly.

It's ludicrous that giant bugs like Yanmega can't use Fly, even though its Dex entries definitely mention it being able to carry a person with ease. It's equally appalling that the only actual bug types that can get Fly are Volcarona and Genesect - neither of which are actually part flying type.

While we're at it, Garchomp should get Fly. Its Dex entries and the anime both show it flying, NOT gliding, but achieving flapping flight with a human on its back.

Imagine if Shedinja could get Destiny Bond. Or Pain Split.

SOMEONE MENTION SHING.

But yes, agree with bug/flying. It's kinda sad to see the pokemon so have typing fly, but can't learn fly frankly especially with the bugs.

Also scizor would be awesome to fly with. Same with magnezone. Instead of flying, it levitate so another way to fly. Just funnier.

Flying with garchomp is good, but it can hurt with rough skin...

Also dedenne should get more better move like the other pikachu clones. Like viable and unique ones in competitive scene.

It'd be as nightmarish as it getting Endeavour. That's probably why it doesn't have any of those moves. GF done good for once.
