>>27508014But that's besides the point for
>>27508014 anyway. We'll go over it again. There's no guarantee that Ninetales-A will get Moonblast. A quarter of all current Fairy-types get Moonblast. It has what can be considered a poor distribution. Period. However, all Fairy-types can learn Dazzling Gleam.
While that may be a "gamechanger" for a Pokemon with as low Sp.Atk as Ninetales-A might have, it doesn't mean it's guaranteed to get a move that very few Fairy-types get over a move that ALL Fairy-types get.
The same goes with Earth Power.
-Absolutely 0 pure Ice or pure Fairy Pokemon learn Earth Power who are not also Rock or Ground or Dragon or learn some sort of Rock or Ground move through leveling.
-Ninetales learns no Rock or Ground moves through leveling and can only learn Dig through TM.
-Every Pokemon that learns Earth Power can also learn Earthquake. Ninetales cannot even learn Earthquake, the move with one of the widest distributions of all time.
If you can't even consider Ninetales-A viable without pushing for moves that there's a extremely low chance it'll get, then you don't believe it can be viable without them. If that's the case, why the hell are you even in this thread instead of advocating that Exeggutor get Dragon Claw like
>>27506456 said? Hell, why even stop there? Why not advocate for Outrage, Draco Meteor, Dragon Rush, and every other high BP Dragon move you can think of.
