>Crabominable is a slow, physically offensive ice/fighting type with iron fist
>Doest get Mach Punch or ice shard

>Escavalier is a very slow and tanky bug/steel type
>Doesn't get U-turn or Gyro Ball

Thing thing deserves ElectroBall. Seriously, it gets Gyro Ball AND Rollout but not a ball move that's usable.

Electroball is a ball of electricity manifested in the air like ball lightning. The other moves make more sense because they are used by the pokemon rolling its own body into a ball and attacking with it. Electroball makes no sense with Typhlosion.

What Typhlosion needs is better stats and not copypasted Charizard ones.

If there's a way i'd buff Metagross is by giving it Shift Gear and Close Combat just to watch the world burn.
But until then idk, i guess i'll stick to RU,

>Electroball makes no sense with Typhlosion.
It already gets wild charge and thunder punch so its supposed to have some electric powers so using it as a projectile isn’t really that much of a stretch I admit it kind of is but I didn’t feel like ranting about Earth Power

> The other moves make more sense because they are used by the pokemon rolling its own body
I’d honest prefer if it just didn’t get thise damn moves since it seems more like an insult. What the fuck special attacker going to do they those moves. Typhlosions movepool is too shitty for them to be bloating it with physical moves that most physical attackers wouldn’t want anyways.

>What Typhlosion needs is better stats and not copypasted Charizard ones.
This, it’s obvious that someone at Game Freak hated it. Like really? What the fuck were they thinking? Give it Charizard worst trait (it stats) but literally none of the things that makes Charizard good.

I would say that a certain Pokémon should be able to learn Power Gem but some retard will just espond with a Wojak and Game Freak seemingly doesn't give a shit so there's no point in it.

The real crime is that Crabominable learns Crabhammer and has a signature move in Ice Hammer but DOESN'T learn Hammer Arm. May not help much but it would be a better STAB than Close Combat.

Drain Punch is better. It should be running Bulk Up / Ice Hammer / Drain Punch / Mach Punch. Perfect set, basically Conkeldurr but with a really good secondary STAB. But without priority it sucks.

Accelerock is literally just Quick Attack or Aqua Jet but with a rocky body, both in mechanics and in flavor. The only thing that makes Lycanroc-Day or Dusk too special to give up the move to the dozens of Rock-types that can put together a half-decent rush attack is Game Freak's unwillingness to admit they made yet another failed shillmon. I know OP asked for individual low-tier Pokemon, and there's some high-tier Rock-types that remain cucked out of a move variant that they would've gotten were they Ghost, Water, or Normal types (for example, Pupitar's main form of attack still has no closer match in existing moves than Accelerock), but to make a physical priority move for a type that's bloated to bursting with slow physical attackers is already an insult without getting into how:
>it's one of the two Physical moves of the type with perfect accuracy
>it's one of only six new regular moves the type has gotten in over a decade of games >the only non-signature Physical move the type has gotten since Platinum is a 50 BP attack with standard priority that exists to make moves of a different type spammable
Like, am I taking crazy pills or has Rock gotten more disrespect since Gen IV than any other type?
