Take a cut move and find a way to improve it so Game Freak will add it back one day

I'll start:
>Needle Arm
Buffed to 75bp.
Keeps the 30% flinch chance.
Does not regain the buff against Minimized targets from Gen 3.
New Effect: Leaves "splinters" in the target, which continue to deal damage for the next 3 turns only. Damage is 1/8 max HP by default, but Pokemon with certain abilities or types will shake off the damage sooner or be immune to it (haven't thought that far ahead)

>Sky Drop
Damage becomes weight dependent and both the user and target return immediately at the start of the next turn, no longer when the user was going to move again. That should be enough to "nerf" it but still keep its utility.

>Bubble
Now guarantees a Speed drop. Since it was retconned out of a lot of starter movesets, even Pokémon like Squirtle who had it for years, this might make it a little more desirable. For fuck sake, Popplio doesn't even get this move which is how badly GF wanted to just delete it. But now it's a weak damaging move that is still guaranteed to hit through Taunt to lower the target's Speed and break a sash or whatever.

>Sonic Boom
The only issue is the set damage which makes it scary early game but horrible for competitive. Make it have scaling damage that increases with your level, similar to moves like Seismic Toss, but it wouldn't be your exact level. Have it increase by 10bp for every 10 levels, making them 90bp at level 50 and 140bp at level 100. Now in competitive it is a reliable solid move to abuse and in the main game it is scary powerful. If you feel that that's too much or steps on other moves, it already has 90% accuracy and is single target so just keep that. Also make it a Sound based move (it wasn't previously). And to further differentiate it from Hyper Voice and Boomburst, have it deal chip through Protect because Guile and fuck you.

>Bone Club
wtf was this cut!? Just make it a Shadow Bone clone, so 85bp and 100acc, but retain the 10% flinch chance instead of the Def drop

Grasswhistle strikes me as a weird occasional sleep move for Pokemon that might not otherwise learn sleep moves, maybe make it an egg move.

Is Sky Uppercut meant to be a dragon punch? I had thought so, trying to think of a special property for that beyond hitting flyers like it already did.
