Typhlosion should learn Earth Power. It's fitting, it's good coverage. Just give him that.

I find it strange that the Bulbasaur line is notorious for not getting Dig, like the anime even pointed out... when it’s the one that makes the most sense out of the other Kanto starters that do.
The pokemon associated with the sky and the one associated with the sea can burrow underground, but not the one associated with... the ground?
Then a lot of mons shoudn't get it then.I think its because Squirtle and Charmander have hands.
But Bulbasaur has bulky paws that really look like they could dig.I think its because Squirtle and Charmander have hands.
Yeah, that's actually a very weird thing with the Elemental Punches in that for some reason there's very few species that can learn all three of them, with the only ones that can being the Elekid line, Hitmonchan, and the Meditite line. Not sure why, maybe Game Freak thinks letting too many species learn all three would be too OP for some reason, but Mawile certainly wouldn't be broken if it could learn Fire Punch. At least not without its Mega, but it can't even access that anymore, so what gives.Here's a curious thing:
Mawile can learn all the elemental fangs, Bite and Crunch, Poison Fnag, etc, which makes sense since it has a giant mouth on the back of it's head. And moves like Ice Punch and Thunder Punch. It can also learn tons of Fire moves, like Fire Fang, Incinerate, Sunny Day, Flamethrower and Fire Blast. But it can't learn Fire Punch. While having acess to the other elemental punches. But Fire Punch is where you draw the line GF?
Yeah. But it's also weird to me cuz it can learn all of those Fire moves, but yet can't learn Fire Punch. It can learn Fire Blast, but not Fire Punch.Yeah, that's actually a very weird thing with the Elemental Punches in that for some reason there's very few species that can learn all three of them, with the only ones that can being the Elekid line, Hitmonchan, and the Meditite line.

Maybe Gamefreak didn't wanna give it too much Firepower.Yeah. But it's also weird to me cuz it can learn all of those Fire moves, but yet can't learn Fire Punch. It can learn Fire Blast, but not Fire Punch.

Actually there are a ton of Pokémon who can learn all three lol.

I feel like the situation with Explosion is mainly that it takes up one of only four moveslots for, at best, a 1-for-1 trade. A confirmed 1-for-1 would be highly situational at the best of times, but an opponent that is sufficiently bulky, or simply a Ghost Type, scuppers that potential.I feel like Explosion is not as good a move in practice as it is on paper for some reason.
Golisopod also doesn't learn Flip Turn, which is a Water-type version of U-turn, so that's two hit-and-run STAB moves that Golisopod can't learn.Come to think of it, Golisopod can't learn U-turn either. Considering it's whole schtick is hit-and-run tactics, you'd think a move that is all about hit-and-run would be part of its arsenal. Not to mention it would get STAB on it, too, due to being a Bug Mon. That is a real strange one.
