Why can't pokemon learn some moves?

Diglett and Dugtrio learn all sorts of stupid moves for them.

Slash. Hummuna wha? Not even TEETH to slash with
Sucker Punch. No arms.
Cut. See Slash
Shadow Claw. And no hands, no feet. Therefore no claws. let alone being able to give it shadowy power.

The Diglett line is the what the hell line.

Well, as mentioned, Diglett and Dugtrio have claws, you just don't ever see them. Ever. Strange, I know.

Solution to all: action replay

DRIFLOON WITH DYNAMIC PUNCH

Sky Attack Pikachu.
 
Why can't Butterfree learn Fly? WHY?!? Also, copying moves (Mirror Move, Me First, Smeargle, etc.) is always fun, especially in PBR. For some reason I find it funny watching Lucario use Fly.
 
How can Chimchar learn Grass Knot. It dosen't have any knot-ish stuff...
Action replay...Transforming Eevee...Eevee transformed into espeon...after the battle...eevee is an eevee again...next battle...Eevee transformed into Flareon...after battle...eevee is an ordinary eevee AGAIN...

Lots of Pokemon with no arms learn Sucker Punch. (Gastly, Murkrow, Absol, Spiritomb, Bonsly, Mightyena) Which leads me to believe that Sucker Punch isn't really a punching attack, but something else.

Speaking of punches, Torchic can learn Mega Punch via tutor and Gastly can be bred with ThunderPunch, Fire Punch, and Ice Punch! Sometimes I wonder what these game makers are thinking.
 
Bulbasaur can lean Vine Whip, but Turtwig can't. They're pretty dang close to being the same Pokemon, in my eyes.

As for a weird one that a Pokemon can learn: Metal Claw on Prinplup. It has no claws, people! D: Steel wing would have been better...
 
Yes, Steel Wing woul've been better. And Bulbasaur is better built for a Vine than Turtwig.

Grass Knot just involves tying up grass into knots, so it makes sense for plenty of Pokemon.

I can completely imagine the dissapointment of Eevee reverting back into Eevee.:sweatdrop:

How about how Smeargle possesses the ability to learn moves such as Wing Attack? Isn't that a bit odd?
Click to expand...

I've always thought it sort of shoots out a globule of paint from its tail which solidifies and morphs itself into the shape of a claw, wing, fire-breathing mouth or whatever.
 
How come Gorebyss can't learn Leech Life, if it sucks stuff with it's thin mouth and all?

How come Chikorita can't learn Vine Whip unless it comes from an egg? Vine Whip seems perfect for it.

Why can't Sandshrew and Sandslash learn Dig naturally and have to use a TM?

If Jigglypuff and Wigglytuff inflate, why can't they learn Bulk Up or Growth?

How does Spheal learn Iron Tail? I don't think that's a tail on it, but it is, and it looks too short to use Iron Tail. (But I still love you...) That's all I can think of at the moment.

Because Spheal are awesome. End of.

...And also, what is the tail if it isn't, ah, a tail?
 
Gulpin and Swalot don't learn Acid. It would make sense because it eats so much, you could see it barfing up stomach acid.
 
Murkrow can learn Thunder Wave.

How can they learn mean look? They're so cute!

Arceus created the universe with its thousand arms or something, but can't learn any punching moves or moves involving arms. Also, it can't learn every TM or HM but Mew can. I don't understand that.

Also he should be able to create regions and drop them on his foes. He created Sinnoh, that should be no sweat...
 
I know, right? That seems pretty crazy. It doesn't have eyes.

And I've always wondered why Lucario can learn Bone Rush. It's a bit odd, don't you think?
 
Well, Lapras can use several damaging electric moves. Octilery can use some damaging fire and mabye electric moves. Both of them are water Pokemon. That's a little odd, but I don't mind.

It can be expected, but I think all fully evolved Pokemon can learn Hyper Beam.

Well, technically penguins don't have wings. And besides, have you looked at its flippers? They practically are claws.
 
Shedinja + Endeavor = Complete pwnage. Period. I tried it, but unfortunately, it can't learn it....DX I think the ultimate Shedinja would know:

Endeavor
Facade
Refresh/Swords Dance
Shadow Ball/Double Team
