Thyplosion can learn Psychic from a TM. :/
How does that make sense?
Typhlosion can't learn psychic. i checked bulbapedia. you might have bred a male nuzleaf knwing extrasensory with a female cyndaquil,quilava,or typhlosion,and then kept the extrasensory when your hatched cyndaquil became quilava and then typhlosion.

I'm going to break the topic a bit, but logically, Smeargle in general.

Yeah yeah, it's all explained with "Sketch", but how would a Smeargle actually manage to use something like Needle punch or Gunk Shot, or Gastro Acid?

Will its arm magically sprout thorns or always keep a trashcan nearby? Or imagine a Smeargle chucking its entire stomach.

"Sketch" doesn't logically explain how a Smeargle would physically be able to do these moves. Makes me wish it was actually in the anime, to play around with this comical idea.

Because Smeargle is a great pokemon. Logic is inapplicable in a series where Magcargo is hotter than the sun.

Smeargle has appeared and actually uses Sketch recently. In one of the recent SM episodes, Ilima's Smeargle appears in a ping pong tournament and sketches Mienshao's fighting type attacks and physically uses them himself, like using his leg for high jump kick. They don't specify whether Smeargle learned them permanently or not. If not, then anime Sketch is just another Mimic.

Smeargle being able to use Fly via Sketch.
If I recall, there was a flying Smeargle in one of the Pikachu movie shorts. It was swinging its tail around like a propeller.

Now certain Pokmon that use Fly via Mimic make little sense, especially the heavier flightless ones like Snorlax and Onix... and Groudon. O_O

Mr. Mime can learn Infestation. Just...how? What am I supposed to be picturing here? (I first found this out while looking through my TMs in the game, and I was so amused that I actually taught it to my Mr. Mime. Haha)

That one makes perfect sense once you've seen Snorlax's Z-Move. :disbelief: :giggle:

Y'all get kudos for working on this thread which I didn't realize how much sense does it make until I actually saw it live. It's a nice counterpart to the usual "moves that Pokémon can't learn but should" that are more based around "I want muh competitive" whereas this thread goes more into the realm of "This Pokémon doesn't have a butt!!!" which is also admittedly funnier.

On the thread's general note, I'm looking at a Klefki and I'm kind of questioning how it can use physical moves like Tackle. Last time a keyring hit me was last week when a colleague tossed one at me from the other end of the office for me to open a cabinet and it was like dude, I just grab this with my hand, baseball style.

Darkrai and Sunny Day. What's the point of giving people nightmares if you can make the sun come out?
“In great deeds, something abides. On great fields, something stays. Forms change and pass; bodies disappear; but spirits linger, to consecrate ground for the vision-place of souls… generations that know us not and that we know not of, heart-drawn to see where and by whom great things were suffered and done for them, shall come to this deathless field, to ponder and dream; and lo! the shadow of a mighty presence shall wrap them in its bosom, and the power of the vision pass into their souls.”

How does the diglett line use Scratch and Slash, anyways? o_o;;
As a kid I always just assumed their noses had a very coarse, sandpaper-like texture, so that's what they used to attack with for those moves. I think the intended inference is that they do have claws underground, but then it became a running gag to never show any more of their bodies than can be seen in their original sprites, so…

Well,you would expect a pokemon like gastly to learn a move called Suprise Attack,so it makes sense now. Payback can easily be used without hands,even by english name. Knock Off is not a punching move,as it is not boosted by iron fist. Its animation is a hand,but gastly is a ghost-type and ghosts can create stuff.

Hi! I think that you are little bit not correct when specifying this issue. or, you confuse us. Will you clarify this point?
Sucker Punch was originally called Surprise Attack. Mew's quirk is that it learns all tms and hms.
