What’s a Pokémon that would be amazing if it got one of its egg moves? I’ll start:
A few hours ago, I made a post about how Whimsicott is an S tier pokemon in B2/W2 thanks to its access to Encore, Leech Seed, and a usable defensive typing and stats. That post has been deleted to avoid misinformation because, as it turns out, Encore is an egg move on Whimsicott. I literally checked Whimsicott’s learnset before posting that to make sure it had Encore, but I saw Leech Seed and misinterpreted it as Encore. Without Encore, Whimsicott is nowhere even close to as good as it could have been. If Whimsicott got Encore through level up, I genuinely believe it would be a Top 5 pokemon in B2/W2. I’m curious to see other examples of pokemon getting screwed because their best moves are locked behind breeding. I know Bisharp really hates the fact that Sucker Punch is an egg move. Well, at least Whimsicott gets Encore in Gens 8 and 9 thanks to TM/TRs (I just thought about how broken Whimsicott is in Sw/Sh; the fact that it can get SubSeed with Encore before the first gym is just disgusting.).
