To be fair do you want Ferrothorn to have spiky shield?

Spiky Shield in Japanese is Needle Guard which still makes sense with Ferrothorn

Moonlight is the same in Japanese

Meteor Mash's JPN name is Comet Punch.

Minior has no hands or appendages capable of delivering a punch.

What exactly stops Gastly to cool some of gas making its body and form it into a semisolid fist shape?

No idea with Wooper tho.

Quoted By:

>>30945353
The only reason Gastly, Wooper, and Shroomish can learn punching moves is for this very reason. If those Pokemon didn't evolve, or evolved into another Pokemon with no hands, they wouldn't be able to know those punching moves.

Gamefreak wanted those moves to be accessible through breeding for some reason, but this completely explains why Minior can't learn Meteor Mash.

Your argument is "This already doesn't make sense, so why does anything have to?" Where would it end?
