Moves you think should exist.

And insta-Freeze move. Why the hell not? Freeze is annoying as hell, and the other status conditions already have a move like that (Thunder Wave, Spore, etc), so why should Freeze be left out? Just call it Sub-zero or something like that.
 
Tag Along
Type:Normal
BP: -
PP: 10
Accuracy: -
The user relentlessly follows the marked target wherever they go.
Effect: Once marked by Tag Along, whenever the target switches in, the user is automatically switched in too. This switch in overrides any action made by the player that turn. In Rotation battles the user also Rotates in if the target does, and gets to attack as usual. The effect lasts 8 turns.
 
I think there should be more moves that can freeze the opponent.

*Can't think of any good ideas*

I'd cry if that move existed. The random chance of thawing is why I hate Freeze occurring, but maybe if Freeze worked liked Sleep and lasted three turns at most, it'd be okay. It'd be a good way to make Ice Pokemon more feared, especially if every one could learn it through TM.
