Shadow Claw for Gengar.

Bug Bite for Butterfree.

Pound for Clefable.

Blizzard for Cloyster (though Avalanche is probably better).

Ice Shard for Lapras (mostly for defense; WG/FB are strictly inferior, but this is not as important now since Lapras is more of an attacker/prestiger than a defender).

Dragon Breath for Dragonite (purely for dodgers. DT hits hard, but much harder to dodge with).

I am still sad that I couldn't get a Rock-Throw-Omastar.

This. They rendered a previously super rare mon with a niche use virtually useless by taking away this move. I honestly have no idea why.

It makes me fear changes to mons like Scizor in the future.

I wanted one with rock throw and slide so bad

Me too. In that short time they were available but non existant in my biome I busted my ass to hatch and evolve. I went 0-3.

Same here. Took me 7 HP Omastars before I finally caught a shrimpy 50% IV wild one with WG/RS and called it "good enough".

I still want one. Legacy moveset event anyone?

number 0: Body Slam on Snorlax

Dragon Breath on gyarados (yes I'm aware of DT but it is the same argument with Dragon Breath on Dragonite...far better with dodging, and is amazing for the dragonite matchup

Dragon Breath Dragon Claw dragonite

Shadow Claw Gengar
Confusion Exeggutor
Flamethrower Arcanine (just marginally better compared to fireblast though)
Pound clefable
Body Slam Snorlax
Discharge Magneton
Acid Weezing

Zen Headbutt / Body Slam Snorlax
Confusion / Solar Beam Exeggutor
Shadow Claw / Shadow Ball Gengar
Dragon Claw Dragonite

Came here to post this

1. Lapras: I know many will disagree, but pre-nerf Ice Shard/Ice Beam was the best defensive combo in the game--except Poliwrath's pre-nerf Bubble/Submission or Bubble/Ice Punch before Bubble was nerfed.

2: Omastar: Have never seen Rock Throw/Rock Slide or even Rock Throw/Hydro Pump on one, but typing with it sounds amazing.

3. Snorlax: Zen Headbutt/Body Slam on defense was really solid and unpredictable.

4. Dragonite: Dragon Breath/Dragon Claw on offense. Someday, it would be freaking amazing if they let us get Dragon Tail/Dragon Claw...
