Why doesn't X pokemon get Y attack/ability/typing?

[IsmaR]

It would've had more of an impact if said Fighting type had Adaptability/Huge/Pure Power, of course. Or Scrappy. Or Sand Force+Bullet Punch.

I semi-forgot about Skype. Gotta get back on that.

Who cares if Machamp punches that fast. Machamp.

Macho+champion= Machamp

Just sayin

aerodactyl still needs head smash and brave bird.......

 

[Problem2]

Machamp doesn't mach punch because he's too busy bullet punching you with his fists of steel.

The whole series needs a logical make over. Why is the typing used to describe plant like pokemon called Grass type?

 

[IsmaR]

Plenty more than that doesn't make a lick of sense...like Lick being Ghost type. Glad they picked up with Curse being a Ghost rather that ??? type, though they should've kept that for Hidden Power. IMO, obv.

Why are there a ton of dragons that cant dragon dance? dont they just have to..well...dance?

 

[Daddy Ash]

they could have no rhythm?

 

[Sage1400]

lol then why do wishcash and crawdaunt have it? I probably spelled those wrong, too lazy to look it up

 

[Daddy Ash]

good point, I think you win this discussion on another note why does eelektrik get levitate and munna doesn't? makes no sense, seeing as munna actually floats and eelektrik jumps :/

 

[Sage1400]

Because gengar levitates. It's magic!

Gamefreak hates Flygon...so...

 

[Sage1400]

Lapras isn't even a dragon either. Why can the lochness monster dragon dance but not a dragonfly.

Why can snorlax selfdestruct but not expload? Aren't those the same things?

Meinshao doesn't get power whip, despite having large whips on his arms.

 

[Supreme Dirt]

No, selfdestruct implies that you are knocking yourself out with an attack. You can selfdestruct without bits of you flying away. It's a kamikaze explosion, you aren't ripped apart, but you're definitely down for the count. But Explosion implies that bits of you are now littering the battlefield.

Why does Lickilicky learn it though?

 

[E123-omega]

So how does self destruct do damage if you dont leave a blast? (which it does in every game so what you said makes no sense)
