POKEMON learned MOVE!
So the in the main series your mons can know more than two moves and through experience they gain more…but how do we incorporate that with only tap and hold? That’s one quick move and one charge move, you can select them from a list of moves your mon knows before going into gyms (and hopefully a 1 on 1 player battle).
Thoughts?

I play the game as a collector: I want to have all the pokemon species with the highest possible IVs and the best moves. I live and spend 90% of my time in one of the worst places for Pokemon, so I need to hatch eggs to have a chance to get new species.
In my opinion, in the current game the only reason to attack gyms is to get coins to buy incubators to hatch the eggs.
I would welcome a change where you can earn coins in a different way (maybe visiting pokestops or completing quests) and gym combat is somehow geared for training and thereby improving your pokemon.
So I like your idea that you train pokemon so they can learn new moves.
Oh dear, this would screw up my fighting style. My favorite attackers into Gyarados are a Jolteon "Railgun" with Thundershock and a Raichu "Power Mode" with Wild Charge. I let both bars charge completely, fire one charge attack, wait for the second bar to refill and finish with two consecutive charge attacks. This way, the Gyarados receives his energy from damage taken as late as possible. In many cases, this way he is not able to send even a single charge attack of his own.
