What moves will become legacy after rebalance?

Which moves do you think, or hope will become legacy after the next move rebalance?

For me:
Bite for TT--which I could see happening,
Outrage for Dragonite-- don't see this happening, but would be happy.
Dynamic Punch for Machamp-- don't see this happening either, but would be happy.

Im down with Dynamic Punch, Bite but as long as they introduce a move like they did for Dragonite( Dragon tail instead of Dragon Breath) I think we will see alot of legacy moves this go around. i think possibly 70% of moves could become legacy.

dumb question - what is the need to make them legacy? why can't they simply add new moves if needed?

Moves beein legacy is retarded for this game. Makes no sense whatsoever

I kinda like it really, being someone who has mostly everything you could have at this point.

They keep making things easier and easier to get in this game. Legacy stuff is at least one thing that can't be "earned" after a certain point.

It is odd, like we've all just come to expect and understand that a Pokémon can only learn 3 charge moves. Why? wouldn't it add more diversity and excitement if they added moves so a Pokémon could have maybe 10 possible charge moves. The argument that they don't want to support so many moves is void because they still support the legacy moves in battles anyway.

I would want this only if mon could know 4 moves at a time like in the main games. (But that would require a change in the game mechanics, which I don't see happening.) Adding a pool of 10 moves but still allowing only one is just another way for RNG to screw us.

For sure, Just look at Mew's possibilities-- just waiting to waste Charged TMs on that.

They could let mons learn multiple moves without any change to mechanics. Just let trainers select the mon's moveset to battle with when selecting mons for battle.

True, a bigger pool is not friendly to RNG and charge TMs. The easy fix would be for Charge TMs to cycle through all moves before repeating. They should implement that even with just a 3 move pool.

They will add new moves too. Not sure if you mean yours is a dumb question or mine, lol.

Why would you hope moves like the ones you mentioned become legacy? I really am curious of the thought process behind it.

Similar response above.

They eventually make everything easy as hell to "earn". It's good to have legacy moves because it's something that can't be acquired anymore-- at least a few things that can't be bought in a raid by any player with $1.

Sounds to me like the reason is, "I have all that I need for the best moves, so I don't want other people to be able to get them anymore, so I can have a permanent advantage."

Yeah! Just give everybody all the best stuff with the best movesets! F it, just have it already maxed out for them too! Wouldn't want them to have to grind at all...

Plus, in many cases I evolved extra copies just in case certain moves get buffed, or become legacy. So, for those like me that grinded for extra candies to be prepared beforehand, they shouldn't get to take advantage?

Also, it's in the game for everybody to take advantage of, so it's not unfair at all. I disagree with your rationale.

Except for new players no matter how hard they grind.

Or even players who have played since week 1 and still have rotten RNG luck. I never got a DC Dragonite; every single one I evolved got Hyperbeam. Then DC became a legacy move, and I now have no hope of ever getting one. Yeah, I now Outrage is far better blah blah blah. But the fact remains that I wanted only one with DC just to have it. For that matter, I finally squeaked under the RNG gods' radar and got Outrage from a charge TM recently. I had used four TMs to get Hurricane every time. I was fully expecting it to become legacy as well before I ever got it. So no. I'm very much against them making moves legacy just to prevent others from getting what I already have. As we've established, this game has almost nothing to do with hard work and "earning" anything. It's all about luck. I guarantee I worked just as hard to get my HB dragonites than anyone else did who got lucky and rolled DC.

I hear you with these points. Definitely truth to this. But it's funny the more players grind the better their "luck" is-- Granted making year 1 dragonites (or anything really), plus getting ideal moves took much more effort back then than now.

Shouldn't that be the case that those new players miss out on something they weren't even around for?
You're saying they should just be able to get everything even though they weren't even playing at the time, that way life is fair for everyone?

I don't think anyone is arguing that Niantic should never change up the movesets and make some legacy. Yes, it sucks that I'll never get a DC Dragonite, but that's the way it is.

The part rubbing me the wrong way is that you seem to want certain moves to be made legacy now that YOU have them.

No, so that EVERYONE who has earned them will have them. I'll be happy for anyone who has some that they earned when the time was relevant. I guess people will just be haters if they don't have them.

Of course, no one would want a good move made legacy if they didn't have one. I also feel like there's been ample time to obtain most of this stuff.

it's not like all moves that became legacy last time were better than the new ones.
sure there is shadow claw for gengar and rock throw for omastar (which are prominent because of the current 'meta') but apart from that?
to me it makes things just a little more interesting this way.
and i guess even more for the collectors.

DB for Dragonite (DT is awesome, but different style)
DC for Dragonite (O is awesome, but different style)
BS for Snorlax
KC for Machamp (C is awesome, but different style)
etc.

yes, well, DB vs DT or C vs KC... i like fast attacks to be fast but thats just a question of my pers. preference or style.
but DC and BS, i'm not too happy with a three-bar-move on attack.
