One of the few problems I have with this generation is the not-so-great move distribution on a lot of new mons, as well as older mons not getting a lot of the rather good new moves. So, let's talk about what moves Pokémon don't get that they really should, whether to capitalize on their stats or fit with their flavor. This isn't just restricted to Gen VII, by the way.

Anyway, here are some of my examples:

>Pic related and Tapu Bulu not getting Play Rough
>Heliolisk not learning Solar Beam or any fire moves
>Zygarde not getting Dragon Rush
>Zangoose not learning Cut
>Salazzle doesn't get Dark Pulse
>Any Pokémon that learns Nasty Plot naturally not getting Dark Pulse
>>
>>29831768
I agree with the first one, the others are indifferent to me. Heard that Zygarde doesn't get DD anymore, that true?
>>
>>29831768

Lack of Play Rough doesn't matter for Koko because it's a better Special Attacker anyway
>>
>>29831879
its stats are phyiscally oriented. 115 Atk v 95 SpAtk. It does matter that it can't capitalize on its higher stat.
>>
Incineroar not naturally learning Pursuit, Knock Off OR Sucker Punch.
I'm a Rowletfag so I think it's hilarious. But still, the fuck?
>>
>Tapu Lele not getting Tailwind or Quiver Dance or even Trick Room
>>
>>29831879
He said Bulu, you monkey.
>>
>>29831768
Setting up Electric Terrain while also being a very fast special attacker is good enough that I don't feel bad that this Pokemon effectively has a wasted Attack stat. It's a legendary, its BST isn't starved by any means.
>>
Can Scrafty still not learn Sucker Punch?
>>
You can tell they're leaving the tutors for the remakes.

Both lyanrocs movepools are fucking abysmal.
>>
>>29831768
Damn, I want to FUCK Salazzle

>This bitch can't learn Bounce when she evolves from BOUNsweet

Are you fucking kidding me? Any Flying move is better than fucking Acrobatics. She doesn't even get Sword Dance to compensate going itemless. Gamefreak be trollin.

>Incineroar learns none of these moves

>>29831879
And it doesn't fucking get Moonblast either.
>>
>Tapu Lele doesn't learn Trick Room

YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO SAVE TRICK ROOM TEAMS BY LETTING THEM SET-UP FREELY WITH NO FEAR OR FAKE OUT

You should be complaining about how they have literally no moves of their non-flying type besides the Judgment clone. And let's not even mention their BST.

It's amazing how nearly every Pokemon introduced this gen has either shit BST and distribution, a barren movepool, a cool ability but nothing to exploit it or a combination of all those three things.

The worst part is that there's Pokemon who have good movepool, BST distribution AND ability, but are missing just one single crucial move that would make them perfect.
>>
Dragon Rush is a garbage tier move though
>>
>>29832722
marshadow is the only one who got good bst distro, typing and movepool in my opinion
>>
>>29832770
Marshadow is literally perfect. I have not seen a Pokemon where everything clicks so perfectly since Garchomp was introduced.

It's hard to believe that the same people who made all the other Alola shitmons also created Marshadow.
>>
>>29832770
Magearna as well. The fucker gets Shift Gear and amazing coverage
>>
>>29831768
Aurorus STILL doesn't Power Gem, Incineroar can't learn Fire Punch, Solgaleo can't learn Iron Tail or Iron Head, Pyukumuku doesn't have any offensive moves, Magearna can't learn Moonblast but I guess Soul-Heart makes Fleur Cannon's stat drop not as bad, Celesteela gets two Flying-type moves, Dhelmise gets four Steel-type moves, Mimikyu doesn't get Zing Zap, only several Pokemon get Liquidation when there's a whole lot of physical Water-types that could use it... That's all I can think of at the moment apart from things already listed.
