What's your hope for future CD Pokemon?
I'm curious what other players want from future CD. Which Pokemon do you want to see, and do you want them to gain a meta-relevant move?
Pokemon I'd love to see this year
SWINUB: A Ground move better than Earthquake
BAGON: Dragon Claw
MAGNEMITE: Meteor Mash
TOGEPI/CLEFFA: Fairy Wind
PHANPY: Mud Slap and/or something better than Earthquake
TORCHIC: Dynamic Punch
STARLY: Sky Attack
PIPLUP: Meteor Mash
MUDKIP: A Ground move better than Earthquake
TRAPINCH: A Ground move better than Earthquake
Edit:
In GO, a name is just a name. Moves in Pokemon GO don't have any of the interactions they do in the main series. In GO, there's just damage, energy, and cooldown time. It doesn't matter what it's called.
I hoped people would be able to use context clues to understand my meaning. When I say 'Meteor Mash,' I'm not saying that I want specifically Meteor Mash. I just want the Pokemon to learn a move with the same parameters.
Since we're being pedantic, let's satisfy their original movesets.
Blaziken gets Dynamic Punch, but we'll call it High Jump Kick
Clefable/Togekiss/Gardevoir learn Fairy Wind, but we'll call it Charm
Empoleon and Magnezone get Meteor Mash, but we'll call Iron Defense

Like aeronaut said earthquake is amazing in pvp, i hope thats the move mamoswine will receive in CD. Meteor mash is exclusive of metagross and clefairy, so mmite and piplup wont get the move. I dont play 6 gen, i dont know about fairy wind but people say its the fast move of togekiss in an eventual CD.. starly seems unlikely, and bagon im pretty sure will receive FLY (the move in the main series mence learns upon evolving, and the way it wont be the shadow of dragonite anymore, at least as a generalist)
In case you didn't know, moves are assigned to Pokemon based on their ability to learn them in the main series. The Magnemite and Piplup families are incapable of learning Meteor Mash, the Clefairy family cannot learn Fairy Wind, and Phanpy cannot learn Mud Shot.
While it's not much better, Bulldoze is already in the game master for Mamoswine and will service Mamoswine better than Earthquake would. Echoing the statements said above, Earthquake is very solid in PvP.
I'd like them to go the flying route with Bagon. Dragon Claw - while nice for PvP - would give Salamence worse PvE DPS than it currently has with Draco Meteor. Outrage would be a direct improvement but is extremely uninspired.
Magnemite cant learn meteor mash, neither can piplup
Togepi's unlikely to get a CD as its not only a baby, but its shiny's out already.
Bagon i'd rather see get fly, we have enough dragons and personally i'd rather Garchomp get a dragon move down the line, Salamence with a flying charge move thats powerful would, unlike its place with a dragon move, secure its place as the top flying attacker nonlegendary
