I think Hippowdon should be able to learn Shore Up. It would make it somewhat more viable I think. And it makes sense too.

Hippowdon's tie to beaches and waves isn't as strong as Palossand, but it would be cool to see.I think Hippowdon should be able to learn Shore Up. It would make it somewhat more viable I think. And it makes sense too.
The japanese name for Shore Up is Sand Gather so it doesn't need to be taken so literally. I also hope they return to depict Hippowdon with the sand flowing out of its holes. I think it's missing something how it is portrayed now.Hippowdon's tie to beaches and waves isn't as strong as Palossand, but it would be cool to see.
It... can though. Learns it by level-up, I believe. If not, then I just fought a very haxxed ace trainer in the Battle Tree.I find it hard to believe that Forretress cannot learn Iron Head in any shape or form. I mean, it would be a pretty powerful move for it, even though the finch side-effect would be rather useless due to its low speed. But even so, it would be a rather sturdy STAB move that would work better than the three Steel moves it actually learns (the variable BP Gyro Ball and the Special-based Mirror Shot and Flash Cannon). Considering its head (and whole body, for that matter) is encased in a metal shell, Iron Head would be logical for it, and yet it can't learn it. I've always found that weird and it would help buff Forretress' power considerably.

Omg, that's my bad. I misread your initial post and thought you were talking about ferrothorn. Disregard meNo, it can't. I just checked the LV up moves. You might've seen it use Heavy Slam, which is a move it can learn that I accidentally forgot, but it can't learn Iron Head in any shape or form.
I totally agree with you on this one!As the "wizard" of the trio and having the versatility of move sets common to the Psychic type, Delphox should have a wider array of moves: Thunderbolt, Energy Ball, Dark Pulse, Hex, Thunder Wave, Flash Cannon, and Cosmic Power to name a few.
Also retcon its ability into Magic Bounce or Magic Guard.
It really can't learn Iron Head? I never noticed, most Forretress wouldn't care since they're slow enough to use Gyro Ball decently enough anyway. I'd say Lucario needs Iron Head more, its only strong physical Steel type STAB is the somewhat unwieldy Iron Tail. Or maybe give it Meteor Mash instead?No, it can't. I just checked the LV up moves. You might've seen it use Heavy Slam, which is a move it can learn that I accidentally forgot, but it can't learn Iron Head in any shape or form.
Y'know... Now I'm suddenly reminded of this Gen II event which gave Zap Cannon to the entire evolutionary line.I'd like to see Blastoise with Lock On. It doesn't really have much that could benefit from it but it's a good aesthetic fit I feel.
Oh yes for Gallade. I worry way more than I really should about Close Combat's drawback to use it for Fighting STAB; this would be music to my ears.Now that Sacred Sword isn't restricted to just the Swords of Justice two other Pokemon that should be able to learn it are Gallade and Samurott.
