Dig/Dig3 have claws as they are mole-esque, so jumping in the air and coming down to slash the opponent for an "aerial ace" is easily explained.

Keep in mind the amount of HP you deal is not equivalent to the damage done. It's relative to 50%, which is what PowerBomb was referring to.
Such a "limit" shouldn't necessarily gimp the move's PP.

Bulk Up Drain Punch Gallade would love more power/PP on Drain Punch.
obviously.

That only has some merits, though. You'd have to be able to gain enough bulk to use that effectively. Hitmontop would utilize potential boosts much better since Drain Punch is furthered boosted with Technician.
Ahh but this isn't the place for that.
I think the Pikachu evo line should be able to learn Bite and other similar moves. After all, it's one of the things mice are known for - constantly gnawing at everything in sight.
Also, all mammalian Pokemon should be able to learn Milk Drink at least through a TM, since in real life that is the first food or drink that most mammals consume at an early age (there's even a few Pokemon that are based off of baby mammals - all of which later evolve; some examples are Pichu, Teddiursa, and Phanpy).

The MooMooMilk would have a special effect on mammals: recovering all HP. For non-mammals, it would function as it currently does .
As for non-mammals, they would get their own recovery move. I need to think of some names. Reptilian Pokemon could get a move called Shed - based on what reptiles do. Bird Pokemon could get a move called Molt - based on what birds do.

Except for the fact that Pokemon aren't mammals. They all lay eggs, anyway.
Monotremes would be a more accurate word, I think.

Platypusses lay eggs as well and they're mammals >_>
As do echidnas (can't remember spelling), which are in fact the basis for Cyndaquil.

Do they produce milk?

Yeah, Platypuses/Platypii/Platypeople do produce milk

They're the only subclass of mammals which lay eggs and produce milk.
Platypus, echidna, and some other animal I forget.

Actually, it's just platypuses, and the long-beaked and short-beaked echidnas.

Ditto should be able to learn Absorb, or something too. But then again, learning any move would interfere with what makes Ditto so competitively broken - Transform.

Wow, my bad. I totally forgot that Ditto could only learn Transform for a couple of moments.

Rephrase, why can't Mew learn Acid Armor?

Because Acid Armor isn't a TM. Also, Acid Armor is generally associated with Poison-types and Vaporeon, so it's probably just aesthetic sense that Mew cannot learn it naturally.

Acid Armor is Liquefy or something in Japanese; it makes sense for Muk and Vaporeon, but melting isn't something I usually associate with embryos.

I believe Tentacruel is also a Pokemon which learns Acid Armor, so it makes more sense with the Japanese translation.Acid Armor is Liquefy or something in Japanese; it makes sense for Muk and Vaporeon, but melting isn't something I usually associate with embryos.
flyinfilipino
Smash Master
Actually, it doesn't learn Acid Armor; it gets Barrier instead, which does the exact same thing.
It would still make sense with Acid Armor, IMO, because jellyfish are pretty watery creatures.
Terywj [태리]
Charismatic Maknae~
Oh. I lied, then. Are Muk and Vaporeon really the only two Pokemon with Acid Armor?
flyinfilipino
Smash Master
They're the ones most people think about, but the Slugma line (via breeding), Gulpin line (via breeding), Phione and Manaphy learn Acid Armor too (all of which are slimy/wet Pokemon).
Golem the Stern Father

I guess I was reading too closely to the changing genetic structure description and totally lost the certain characteristics assosicated with those who do learn Acid Armor.

Although Mewtwo can learn Psyco Cut, it lacks anything sharp to use, more specifically, no claws.

This kinda similar to how Wailord only learns Body Slam but not Slam. To an extent, anyway.

Description for Slam = Hitting someone hard with a vine or a tail, right?
Wailord has a small tail, does he not?

Barely. It doesn't even look remotely suited to bashing someone on the head with. And it'd probably feel like it was made of whale blubber.

Keep in mind Wailord's size. Think about it.

Exactly. He's so big, he can't even get his tail to reach the enemy Pokemon because he's so tall!

Or maybe he's so gigantic in size that all he needs to do is to turn around and smack the opponent! XDExactly. He's so big, he can't even get his tail to reach the enemy Pokemon because he's so tall!

I meant with his tail. If you were standing to one side and were unaware (Bibarel) of what's going on, and Wailord wasn't careful (+SpD, -SpA) he might turn around and smack you with his gigantic tail.

It's a world wide punomenon.
And Weezing is a bag of explosive gases, not whatever Gunk Shot happens to be made of. Wouldn't mix well.
