What moves would you like to see added to old monsters to help them out?
We all know Samurott could use some love, is the answer Shell Smash?

I hate how moves like Shell Smash or Power Whip are just handed out now. It was better when they were tied to a specific type of Pokemon rather than anybody who could vaguely maybe stretch the definition of the move in order to use it

In the older gens movesets were a lot more limited and forced you to use that one mon who had a specific move, rather than now when most pokemon learn lots of moves and share them with others.

Moreso I wonder if we are getting new forms. Likely not but I always felt that Typhlosion, for example, would make sense having a volcanic lightning (Fire/Electric) or volcanic ash and smoke (Fire/Ghost) themed regional or mega.

Also I could see new signature moves for the two that aren't Decidueye.

>Seamitar Slice
80bp physical water move with high crit, breaks barriers

>Volcanic Bolt
90bp special move that deals joint fire and electric damage, has a 10% Para chance

>BUFFED Spirit Shackle
Now had +1 priority if the opponent is attempting to flee

Broken across the board maybe but eh

Samurott doesn't have many cool moves, maybe Megahorn is pretty unique.
The dude has Shell Armor as his hidden gimmick, I'd say smashing that garbage is fitting and a fine addition to him and he deserves it.

The other anon said what I meant. But also it made more sense when a move like Shell Smash belonged to bivalves/crustaceans where that happening logically made sense, but Blastoise and others getting it just seems forced. I know it's autistic as hell but I just like it when moves are limited to certain families or groups of mons. Like Aura Sphere being spread around to every legendary now. It made a lot more sense being a special Lucario only move or maybe Lucario + a few other special Pokemon where it made sense they used "aura." Now a lot of Pokemon get it and it's not that special anymore.

This kind of stuff also inadvertently shrinks the move pool. If everyone gets Liquidation then why use Waterfall? Why do we bother having a variety of moves like Sludge Bomb or Venoshock if we all just use Sludge Wave? It's basically Syndrome from the Incredibles come to Pokemon. Might as well just erase 3/4 of the moves if everyone is just going to gravitate to the same shit.

sceptile would go from barely viable in NU to viable in OU with the simple addition of belly drum
shell smash probably wouldn't be enough to save samurott

Flinch chance
Also, your argument is as retarded as saying "why should moves with 70BP exist when we have moves with 90BP?". Not everything in pokemon revolves around competitive battles.
