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.

Yeah, I forgot, my bad. I've been so back and forth in so many forums the past few days that I get my conversations mixed up. I still don't think that having two types automatically makes a Pokemon better. Like I said, it's just one factor among many. Mega Aggron actually got much better once it went to monotype.
