    As the title of this thread says, this thread is about speculating which moves and attacks that you think could be added to already established Pok?mon through level up, TMs, or breeding.

    It's generally the norm with third versions and remakes at this point, but it would be nice to have the appropriate thread to discuss certain possible changes.

    For example; ORAS allowed Delphox to learn Dazzling Gleam by TM, while Xatu can learn Air Slash through level up.

    I'll start this thread off by going over a few Pok?mon that could benefit from new changes to their movepools.

    1. Minior
    I would like this Pok?mon to learn Air Slash or possibly Air Cutter, mainly to have another special STAB move to utilise if people want to run a special attacking set. Since it is a Rock Type able to utilise Earthquake, I'm confident it can taught Earth Power by Move Tutors.

    2. Crabominable
    To redeem this Pok?mon's offensive capabilities, it should gain access to either Mach Punch or Ice Shard to remedy its' poor speed if it were to survive on low health. Drain Punch and Knock Off would be fantastic options from Move Tutors.

    3. Silvally
    While it may not be guaranteed viability in OU, having this Pok?mon gain access to Superpower, Gunk Shot, Knock Off, and Synthesis through Move Tutor may just help this Pok?mon out a little bit.
     
    Ash-Greninja with Gunk Shot.

    Watch it get banned to ubers as soon as people start using it.
     
    I agree with CF1994's choices. Minior needs more special moves since it is meant to be a jack-of-all-trades in terms of stats, and I do agree Crabominable definitely needs a priority move if it wants to redeem itself from the bottom of the barrel.

    I also want Lurantis to get Superpower from the move tutors. So that it can have a move to abuse Contrary that works off its better attacking stat.
     
    Something I'm really curious about, does anybody here think we'll see any new drastic changes to a move that was otherwise not used much before?

    I'm thinking of the significant change in damage that happened to Leech Life as one particular example.
