"You originally said having an expansive movepool is better than being dual typed..." I never once said that, and it's never been the point that I've been trying to make. Having an expansive movepool is not automatically better than being dual-typed, or vice versa. You have to look at each Pokemon on an individual basis and figure how its stats, movesets, typing and ability come together. And I will say this again: having two types does not automatically mean a Pokemon is more likely to have a good movepool. It's all up to what GameFreak wants to give it. I could sit here and name dozens of examples, but if Pokemon existed in real life, you could pick up a rock and throw it, and you'd be likely to hit one that proves my point. |
So you forgot your initial post already. "A diverse and expansive movepool is better than having two types."
Hence it's "more likely" rather than automatic or guaranteed. A dual type not having moves associated to one of it's types is a rare occurrence. We don't know exactly how Gamefreak decides what's what, but it seems they usually give moves based on appearance and of course typing.
