Mankey does in fact have a tail which is why primate and anhilape get it while Cooper gets punches due to quagsire having arms similar to lastly getting all the elemental punches dispite being an orb
@@alexskocy9948doesn't make primeape annihilape, wooper, or ghastly learning those moves any less funny/stupid. Especially wooper and ghastly, just save the moves for quagmire and haunter.
@@roguecloud5674 actually hunter and gengar can't learn the elemental punches because they aren't TM or Tutor moves they are egg moves which means if you want the punches on your gengar you have to get them as a gastly
I've come to realise that the "out of place" moves, have alot to do with the pokemon's tera types. They have a small chance of learning or even ALREADY KNOWING moves that work with their tera type. Like, I have a flareon who knows a water move that isn't rain dance, lost somewhere in one of my boxes, cause its tera type is water. The move was there when I caught it. Another example is my pikachu who knows the move "fly", cause she's a flying tera type. I've also noticed that some have those moves in the "remember moves" lineup.
I believe this is because Psyshock is TM54 is S/V. In Sw/Sh, TM54 is Rock Blast; a move that makes a lot more sense for Great Tusk to learn. However, this logic doesn't line up with Staraptor. Struggle Bug is TM015 in S/V. In Sw/Sh, TM15 is Dig, and TR15 is Fire Blast.
Staraptor has never been the same since the fight with that shuckle. Staraptor came out victorious but due to hours of being hit with infestation after infestation...
This has always been a funny thing in Pokemon Incineroar can't learn Incinerate. Yanmega, Gyarados and Gliscor can't learn Fly. Neither can Garchomp or Druddigon despite the fact that they are shown to and referenced to be able to fly many times. Sandaconda can learn Hurricane...huh?? Entei and Zekrom can't learn Earthquake, but Spheal, Dunsparce and Politoed can. Gastly can't learn Poison Gas. Malamar can learn Thunderbolt, but not Thunder. Reuniclus can learn Thunder Wave, Thunder Punch, and Thunder...but not Thunderbolt??? Rhydon, Rhyperior and Golem are all Rock Types with abilities that benefit recoil moves, yet they can't learn Head Smash. Even though Sudowoodo, Corsola, and somehow Aegislash and Hydreigon can. Also Marowak and Aerodactyl, who also have Rock Head also can't learn Head Smash. Weird how they gave it to Steelix recently but noone else. But hey, it's the Rhydon line, who needs Head Smash when you have Tbolt, Blizzard, Fire Blast, Surf and Dragon Pulse? Garbodor can learn Drain Punch...but not Poison Jab. It also gets Psychic somehow. Cryogonal gets Attract, everyone has heard that one...but it also gets Solar Beam and Poison Jab...as a Snowflake Pokemon. Eelektross randomly gets Dragon Pulse, even though it has nothing to do with reptiles or Dragons. Same thing with Arcanine. Skarmory gets Dark Pulse. Insanely random. Skuntank gets Explosion. I'm sorry, how does a Skunk blow itself up to the point that it faints? Ferrothorn can't learn Spiky Shield. Swanna can learn Ice Beam, but not Blizzard. Keldeo gets Icy Wind, but not Ice Beam or Blizzard. It is one of the only Water types period to do this. Also Toxicroak gets Icy Wind, so that means absolutely nothing. Buzzswole can't learn Megahorn....but somehow Celesteela can?? Blaziken gets Brave Bird...it has no wings!! Amoonguss can't learn Leech Seed, even though every other Mushroom Pokemon does. Xerneas, the Life Pokemon...can't learn Recover. Conkeldurr once got Defog...how?? How does it create enough wind to blow away hazards and screens?? Golem can learn Fire Blast...why Lanturn and Ampharos can't learn Tail Glow..when Manaphy does? Scrafty can't learn Sucker Punch. Dugtrio gets Aerial Ace...and so do Slowbro and Maractus...how? Tauros and Slaking get Solar Beam. Gosh I hate it when my Bull and Sloth suddenly start harnessing the power of the Sun. Bronzong, the Bell Pokemon, can't learn Hell Bell. And finally, despite beings birds, as well as flying types for the first two stages of the evolutionary line, AND learning both Roost and Brave Bird...the Decidueye line can't learn Fly...bruh. So yeah. Pokemon Move distributions are absolutely fucked.
And some odd moves make sense from a design perspective, such as Dugtrio claws them from underneath for Ariel Ace but somehow does the same to those high in the air. Blaziken leaps at speeds relative to flight. Apparently Palmer's Rhyperior is so unbeatable as he claims that it can afford just Rock Wrecker as its sole physical. Grimmsnarl is just it's english name. It's original name makes no Snarl reference whatsoever. Perhaps Incineroar is the same? Them mosquito antennae attached to what seem to be eyes are probably too sensitive to use Megahorn compared to solid steel and bamboo. Gorebyss shell smash breaks its bra? What does Huntail Break? Others, probably balancing power. A megampharos with Tail Glow is just a buffed Tail Glowing Xurkitree minus the beast boost. Xerneas Power Herbed/Z Move Recovering Geomancy is just "kill everything in your way in 1 move...without help." Yet more may make no sense whatsoever. If Scizor has trouble flying, give it to Scytherand remove it on evolution. As a blade user, Kartana gets Air Cutter as a Useless Useful spell. Very good against terribly high physically defensive targets who'd laugh off a physical move.
Iirc dugtrio getting Arial Ace is due to wordplay that doesn't translate to English. I imagine some other moves and the reason for their distribution also get lost in translation.
I’m pretty sure it mostly has to do with the TM’s being reshuffled each generation. TM054 was rock blast in Sword and Shield before it was charged to psyshock in Scarlet and Violet, and somebody just forgot to take Great Tusk’s compatibility with the TM away after the change.
Psyshock still translates to Psyshock (transliterated to Psychoshock from サイコショック) which means that either: They thought because it was an elephant, a shockwave would make sense... somehow, or they gave it because pink
I find it funny that Great tusk gets psychock instead of psychic, so it cannot ko another Great tusk with it (if anyone even dares to give that to him)
I looked it up and apparently, Struggle Bug is called "Insect Opposition" in Japanese, which does kinda describe Staraptor. I think this is just an "Aerial Ace" situation where the Japanese meaning of the move ("Swallow Return", which is a reference to a famous Japanese sword technique) makes more sense when considering why certain Pokémon can learn it.
I have a glitched Great Tusk in my main party. I somehow got him from the area where I fought the Titan, while Violet put a force field around the Armored Treads that spawned in the same area under the same conditions (go back to where I fought the Titan immediately afterwards)
Staraptor likely is a repeat of the Elgym/Beheyem situation in a form TM15 has been hyper beam in every generation except for 8 (sword and shield only, where staraptor isn't available. It is hyper beam in BDSP) and gen 9, where its struggle bug. Staraptor happens to learn hyperbeam in gen 9 still, but its also on a new TM number compared to the past. Likely just something that was missed in the final QA in the end tbh.
I mean, there are a few mons that learn moves that make you look at them and go; how and why? And while the answer is usually coverage, there are a few that are either thematic, and some are generally just a bit odd
Theory: Staraptor has preyed on these bugs long enough that it has learned how its prey struggles (Struggle Bug). The other…kinda the opposite, i’unno. 😅
I think the Staraptor one is because Struggle Bug is TM15. In the prior game, BDSP, Staraptor could learn TM15 because it was Hyper Beam. I think somebody did some copypasting and hoped we wouldn't notice.
adding to this - raptor's been able to learn TM15 in every game its ever been in... TM 15 has only ever not been hyper beam on 3 occasions: - sword and shield (not available) - lets go P/E (not available) - scarlet and violet (available)
So 2 possible reasons is 1 a lot of them are given based on their Japanese names not the American names and this is why Wooper can learn several punching moves and Aeriel ace is legit one of the most common moves cause their Japanese names dont imply you need to be able to punch ir fly to use them. 2nd is likely for type coverage. They often give some kind weird moves just to give a pokemon some extra type coverage.
Indeedee female can get trick room, a move that is supposed to be exclusive to the male indeedee, through tera raid battles only. They cant learn it as an egg move, level up move, or tm, just tera raids
This is why I don’t play any of the Pokémon games I would love to but knowing all the stuff that doesn’t make any sense just confirms it for me Plus all the bugs the games have
they did this to allow them to have Psychic Tera and not be absolutely horrible, but its lame. they often remove moves from returning mons to make room for these
I'mm guessing Staraptor getting Struggle Bug happened because of Copypaste nonsense since TM15 has historically been Hyper Beam (Including BDSP aka Staraptor's previous TM moveset)
Great Tusk is right next to Scream Tail in the Pokédex, so it was likely someone just fatfingered the key.
That honest to god might be what happened, that's actually hilarious
No because scream tail learns it as well so it's not like they forgot

Initially, Gallade was unable to learn Metronome by TM, even though Ralts and Kirlia could. This was fixed in a later update.
It’s almost like they have no Quality Assurance.
I wonder if this is an case where the Japanese names for moves make this decision make more sense?
But why would they only do it in Gen 9 and not Gen 5 when Struggle Bug was added?

Staraptor is 10 bugs in a trenchcoat
Mew can learn struggle bug the bug build was the best one for that mewtwo raid
maybe staraptor is really smart and mimics its prey
Great tusk have smooth brain
Also only male indeede used to have trick room, now female indeede has it too

Still weird though
they did this to allow them to have Psychic Tera and not be absolutely horrible, but its lame.
they often remove moves from returning mons to make room for these
Was I the only one who thought one of the silhouettes was Articuno? (Staraptor's one)
