It seems weather affects moves of Pokemon evolved or caught.

Last time I was near a Jynx nest, I caught several Jynx, and a lot of them had Psychic moves due to windy weather. Now I evolved a Dragonair, and the Dragonite had Hyper Beam due to the partly cloudy weather. I haven’t observed this with TMs yet but I think the same applies.

Unfortunately this depends on RNG and just RNG. There is no other thing to it :(

No, they are prioritized to give bad moves if possible so every evolution merits one or more charged tms. There seems to be a priority order from these moves, starting from the worst having the biggest odds to stab moves having lower odds.

The odds however are sometimes tilted towards good moves, such as Espeon (Which actually has a decent chance of getting Future Sight) and Giratina (Which has a decent chance of getting Dragon Claw without TM.)

Alright dude... at this point we’re all used to your enraged posts about death and destruction and other topics which leave some of us concerned for you, but by and large we can’t change that.
This is a site which is essentially a wiki/informational site for people to discover the truth about game mechanics. You have demonstrated a willingness to post/answer posts with information that is downright false at best.
We can ignore the emotional rants, but please stop posting/replying with incorrect information that displays a total disregard both for statistical data and rational (non-emotional) reasoning.

You want write posts with the intentions of driving people away from a game you don’t like? Fine.
You wanna lie to people by stating blatantly incorrect information just because you don’t like the game? That’s not ok.
Please stop doing this. Rant if you must, but stop answering questions with blatantly false information.

I don't know but doesn't seem RNG to me cause if it is, then I've been having super bad luck.
1. Staraptor CTMed 5 times - STILL no Brave Bird.
2. Bad Eevee evolve into Espeon - C/FS
2 Good Eevee evolve into Espeon - all ZH/Psychic
3. Rhydon evolve - Rhyperior got Surf :(

You have a 1/32 chance (3.125%) chance of not getting Brave Bird after 5 rerolls. That's a fairly large chance still. RNG needs massive sample sizes - any pattern that you can think of will emerge once, given enough time.

That would need some testing, and it would be really interesting if true.
But maybe that's just RNG being RNG. :v

I don't know, or probably just bad luck that all my evolved Dragonites got Steel Wing and Hyper Beam.

Too small of a sample size

Do you really believe there is an extra layer of coding or algorithms which doesn’t even matter most of the time, just to give hyper beam to your Dragonite?
