Some nitpicks about status move typings: Sandstorm should be Ground-type. Sandyghast, Sandshrew, Sandaconda, Sandy Cloak Wormadam, Sandile, Sand Tomb, and Sand Attack are all Ground-type, but Sandstorm is Rock? Shut up. Whirlwind should be Flying-type. Why is it Normal? (EDIT: Swiftgallade...

It's a status move so its typing doesn't matter but Simple Beam: The user's mysterious psychic wave changes the target's Ability to Simple. Type: Normal??????

What are you even saying here? Why should that confuse them? It's not like they didn't see what just happened. What's confusing about any of these? That was due to a glitch, and hasn't been in the game since Gen 4. What is confusing about any of these??? It does.

Icy Wind is Ice-type because it has Ice in the name. Regular wind should be associated with Flying, considering moves like Hurricane, Gust, Air Cutter (which mentions razor-like wind), Air Slash, Wind Rage... Fighting types would not be crippled if Razor Wind was super effective against it...

"Self-Suggest" sounds pretty close to hypnotism to me (the power of suggestion and all that), and hypnotism is definitely considered psychic in other areas, like Hypnosis and Hypno.

They're status moves so their type doesn't matter, but why are Psych Up ("the user hypnotizes itself") and Mind Reader Normal instead of Psychic?

There's a thread for new move ideas. This is for changing existing ones. It's not a 5x hit ratio, it's a 5x maximum. It averages out to about 3 hits. How the heck are they getting outclassed? Multistrike moves of other types frequently have better accuracy, more PP, and a higher base power...

You can't "glitch" a wiki page to have wrong info, it'd be an error if anything, and you can see on other sites that it's true. The signature move of Meowth in the anime, a move that's basically just Scratch done multiple times... should be Dragon?

There's whole cutscenes for both, and both items directly state it, so, yes.

Probably because merging two Pokemon together mid-battle would be too complicated, and pretty bad for the player using them, since they'd lose a Pokemon that way.

...That has nothing to do with what I said, or this thread's topic.

Pretty sure that the appeal of Pokemon is not "Pokemon use moves that don't make sense..."

That doesn't make any sense. Being made out of metal doesn't mean a Pokemon can make a lock out of itself any more than being made out of flesh means I can create a tail because tails are made from flesh.

How are Meltan and Klingklang connected to locks?

You're just looking at the move page-you should be looking at the ability page instead. That'd be pretty overpowered to half so many moves without a drawback.

It already is? Hyper Fang.

Rock Smash should break Stealth Rock on the user's side.

Just because counters exist doesn't mean there needs to be a 100% accuracy for it. A change like that would make competitive based almost entirely around sleep, since any Pokemon without a sleep defense would be instantly shut down.

Bounce is because the user's whole weight slams into the target, like with Body Slam. It's not really a mystery where the user goes with Fly, Dive, or Dig-the foe saw them head into the sky/sea/earth.

Looking at what moves do cause confusion isn't really making a case for them...
