Moves that just don't work with Pokemon

charizard can dig, how with that big body, big wings and tiny arms?

More confusing: any of the forms using Dig. Wouldn't all of that dirt eventually destroy the fire on their tails and kill them?
 
How Slowbro can use Flamethrower and Fire Blast I will never come to understand.

I know the answer to this one! *Drumroll*.......... By eating too much hot taco sauce. ;)

Hariyama + Whirlwind. Explain.
Koffing + Thief. How?
...and actually, Koffing not learning Gunk Shot. WHY?
 
My Empoleon has Grass Knot. It's proven useful, but how can a steel-winged penguin control vines under the ground?

Magic? lolz

Diglett and Dugtrio can use Earthquake, but how? They must be massive enough to pound the earth. And Latios and Latias can use it too, but it doesn't agree with it...
 
zigzagoon and surf. is it just me or does it seem like a zigzagoon would drown if it was even in a bathtub?
 
Skull bash and bone club and bonemarang are made for cubone and marowak (and maybe houndoor) how can other pokemon learn this?!
 
Don't know if mentioned but Gastly can learn Fire/Ice Punch through breeding despite having no arms/hands.
 
Ahem...

Delibird + Fly, anyone?

It was also weird how Murkrow couldn't learn Wing Attack without breeding until D/P. The only flying type move I can recall him learning while leveling in the second and third gens was Peck o.o
 
Voltorb can learn sucker punch through breading, despite not having arms

I have an explanation. Sucker Punch is called Ambush in Japan. No hands needed, but ambushing anything as a sphere is kinda weird too.

(Sucker Punch also gets no boost from Hitmonchan's Iron Fist.)
 
How does Gyarados use Thunder? *___*

/ironic
 
Pichu can use Sweet Kiss...

WUT IN THE BLAZES?!?!?!?!

What's so weird about that? It's cute, and it's cuteness confuses you.

I got another one-several, I suppose. When a Pokemon is Binded/Wrapped etc, how can it use a physical move like Tackle? A Special move makes sense, however.
 
/thread

I never got Lucario and Bone Rush. Seriously...? :S
If you've seen the anime, it uses aura to create an aura-made bone to use for that attack.

Porygon, Porygon 2, and Porygon-Z + Magnet Rise. It's technically already floatng in the air, just because it doesn't have the levitate ability, doesn't mean it needs Magnet Rise to avoid ground-based attacks.
