What is with these movepools?

>>30239967
IIRC weren't Gen 6 mons like this as well before tutors?

>>30239967
This happens literally every new gen, get over it.

I really don't remember this happining every gen. Gens 4-6 had good movepools

I think expanding movepools was a mistake in the first place, it's probably one the biggest sources of powercreep that they can never reverse outside of banning non-native pokemon.

>Kommo-o is another example. Dragon-fighting, only learns 3 dragon moves naturally, and only one fighting move naturally.

There are very few Dragon moves in the first place, he gets the ones he needs.

As for Fighting, it's difficult to fit conceptually for a Pokémon of Kommo-o's anatomy. Wish he would've gotten Close Combat.

It's clear GF have made a conscious effort to make new pokemon much more balanced by doing fairer stat spreads, unique abilities and narrower movepools.

I agree there are a couple discrepancies like the fangs on Gumshoos, but on the whole, I'm definitely happy with the direction they went, considering how obnoxious "STAB + coverage" on every offensive 'mon is.

I reckon the best use of this movepool philosophy is the ultra beasts. Pheromosa & Xurkitree have underwhelming coverage compared to other pokemon, so they actually have counters.

One of the major complaints with gen 5 was lack of movepools on anything not named Hydreigon until BW2's tutors.

Gen 6's complaint was that barely any of the pokemon were even usable aside from like the 5 that broke the meta. And most of those only relied on spamming one or two moves as their entire strategy to make them good.

There's absolutely no reason it couldn't have gotten Drain Punch, Superpower, Cross Chop or Hammer Arm. It would've loved Aura Sphere.

Rikidikidiki desu ka? Mm!

I understand that their aren't that many dragon moves, but where's dragon rush, or dragon pulse at least if it's signature move is a special. I'm a dragon trainer, and I know there aren't many dragon moves, which is why it bugs me so much that kommo-o doesnt learn the most basic of dragon moves, aside from dragon claw, naturally. He should least know other coverage moves as well, but he doesnt. Poison jab is the only good and reliable physical tm he can learn to cover for his fairy weakness

Leech seed + Heavy Slam are pretty much all I've needed so far in VGC
