Razor Shell, the water Razor Leaf, and relatively useless due to the Otter fmily's better Sp Atk...

Shell Smash Cloyster welcomes the move heartily, though!

Also, comparisons have been made with Leaf Blade and Razor Leaf, but the move doesn't have terribly much to do with either. They're all moves that involve improvised cutting, but Stone Edge and several others likely fit the bill. Razor Shell is also has a different effect and power rating. The concept is still awesome, of course.

And furthermore on corrections: Buizel line doesn't learn it, and nonwhere in game flavor is it shown to be a blade of water or the like (I'm not keeping up with the anime or that stuff though so that might be where it comes from).
 
Razor shell is pretty awesome, though physical move + higher SpA = GACK. The idea behind it is pretty cool, though, and seeing as Oshawott is my second choice as a Unova starter (sadly, I only have Emboar and Serperior currently in my Black... DO WANT SAMUROTT) I have to approve of it.
 
Actually, as a phsyical move that can lower the enemy's defence, I thought Razor Shell as more of a water-type Crush Claw...

it is.

or one could say it's a water-type rock smash with horrible accuracy and better power. but that sounds more unimpressive.
 
Well, as no one has posted a new move in the last two days:

And Tail Whip

Three very familiar early stat effecting moves: Discuss
 
Ah! Shall I explain how Tail Whip works?
You know those Spitz dogs? We have a few of those back home and they are commonly used in birdhunting. They have these curly tails and once they've located the bird in question they'll of course bark to get the owners attention, and well-trained dogs can also waggle their tails rythmically in a slightly wierd way, and should the bird look at the tail it will be put under a very shallow hypnosis, thus making it less prone to escape.

The info for the above comes from my father, so it is questionable, but he is a man of nature, damn it!
 
Today's Move shall be...ummm...the "Drain Series' (Leech Life+Absorb+Mega Drain+Giga Drain)

I think this series is pretty cool and always helped me out in Sapphire when I use Treeko as my Starter. Always helps me recover some energy when needed while also giving the Pokemon damage.
 
Missing two, Horn Leech and Drain Punch.

Anyways, this plus Leech Seed equals Venasaur stalling through the LG/FR elite four/champion at level 50. Fun moves, if not a little obnoxious...
 
GIGA DRAIN

Y U HAVE FIVE PP

I'd probably like Giga Drain if you could use it more than five times.

I have a problem with Leech Life too, mainly because it is so weak. It makes grinding Zubat early on SO ANNOYING.
 
Absorb/Mega Drain/Giga Drain... Weak moves that never really helped much. Mega Drain had its use in RBY when it was the only reliable way for Exeggutor to take down Rhydon, and Giga Drain was the Grass move of choice in GSC, but they've been outclassed in other generations.
