Why did Gamefreak introduce the move Hold Back with the pokebank Celebi? It's literally False Swipe, but with a different name.

Huge Power is called Muscleman. Azumarill is a Muscleman aparently.
Pure Power is called Yoga Power. Only the medis have it.
There's really no reason why they couldn't just be musclemen.

Going by Japanese names, Huge Power is Muscleman and Pure Power is Yoga Power. It makes more sense, it's just flavor. Why you heff to hate Medicham so much?

I always thought that Huge Power was a cuter version of Pure Power that was given to cute critters like Azumarrill.

Pure Power has connotations of focused, controlled strength, just like Medicham. Having multiples of the same ability for flavor reasons is nothing new.

>blindly trusting Bulbapedia translations
The Japanese name is a pun. While "chikaramochi" can mean "muscleman" or "one with power", it also sounds like "chikara mochi", or "power mochi". Mochi is the snack that Japanese moon rabbits make.

Now consider the fact that all Pokemon with the ability are either rabbits, Fairy-types or both.

So THAT'S why the Marill line became a Fairy type.

I thought that huge power effect was only a 1.5X attack boost if the ability was traced or skill swapped, but I can't seem to find the source of that right now, may need to check it myself somehow.
