ITT: Moves that you didn't know existed until recently
Powder...which actually is a pretty cool concept.

I honestly did not know spike cannon existed until I decided to look up moves for fun.
>>28268844
I remember this existing and being pretty frustrated that they would make a genuinely interesting move and give it to literally only one pokemon, and a shitmon at that.

Venom Drench
Doesn't help that nothing good benefits from it

The wing design gimmick is legitimately neat but let's not kid ourselves here, mate.
>>28268948
>m-m-m-muh compound eyes sleep powder ;_;
>>28268844
The entire point of the move is to counter fire type moves before they happen?
That's pretty useful
Even if Vivilion isn't WOW, it can still void fire types
>>28268844
I didn't know about powder.
I also didn't know of this one:

Until I saw a replay of someone using it with a baton pass team.
Heliolisk gets a signature move and a pseudo signature only shared with Dedenne
Electrify, if your faster, causes for opponents attack to become electric type, this is more or less useful in doubles with a partner carrying motor drive or lightning rod
And Parabolic Charge, shared with Dedenne, that is basically a Giga drain style move but Electeic
This shit is useless since both are horrendously frail

Also QD + Compound Eyes Hurricane :^)
>>28268844
Light of Ruins
>>28269032
The only reason Powder is introduced is to shit on Fire starters in the first gym.
>>28268844
powered snow. a wild smoochum used it on me.
>>28271997

It's much more usefull of doubles.
>>28268996
Maybe in Smogon, but it's ridiculous in regular Wi-Fi, no one expects this thing to be this good.
>>28268960
We need a good Poison type with it, toxic spikes, and Prankster
Godly spike setter coming right up.
Based on Horned Toad and Burglar. Probably has a sack on its back, a small build, and a dark color scheme
Poison/Dark
Prankster
Hp: 70
Attack: 105
Defense: 80
Special Attack: 85
Special Defense: 75
Speed: 95
@Black Sludge
Toxic Spikes
Taunt/Sucker Punch/Knock Off/Baton Pass
Venom Drench
Gunk Shot
>>28269140
Electrify won't work if you have a lightning rod pokemon.
>Triple Kick
Why not just give Hitmontop Double Kick?
Why does he need his own move?
Is he "too good"?
What a douche.
Fuck Hitmontop
>>28271962
Nope, not even that
>>28268844
All the terrain moves since they're barely used. Also ion drench, scary pulse or whatever the name of the moves are
Soak, turns opposing Pokemon into Water type. Could be fun.

>Tackle
>Infestation
How could someone possible lose this fight?
>>28268844
When I replayed gen 1 I came across so many TMs for moves I forgot existed.
Gen 1 just had a shit ton of useless moves like Razor Wind
Assist.
>>28272476
Bide and Rage don't deserve being TMs
>>28273255
Also Softboiled and Teleport
Defence Curl was a TM in GSC also
Reflect Type
Its on a small handful of mons and the move itself is gimmick as fuck. Only learned about it a few months ago during a wifi match
