Forget about Samurott not getting shell smash, why doesn't he get earthquake?

>Literally, a pine cone, a turtle, a floating plate, a piece of coral, and two hands with faces on a rock can cause an earthquake, but a giant samurai otter can't?

(Pineco, Torkoal, Bronzor, Corsola, and Binacle)

Also, why does Swalot get earthquake, but not Muk?

Also, why do Togekiss, Slowbro, Gloom and Mr. Mine get drain punch, but not Machamp?

List other moves with bad distribution in this thread.

Samurott getting Earthquake does seem justified. It can release powerful blows by just slamming it's swords into the ground:

It's movepool is missing couple of moves that its capable of pulling off.
>>
>>26865049
Not at all. The mega would be OU if it had STABs like those.
>>
>>26865130
Nobody runs Head Smash without Rock Head, it's suicidal. Brave Bird would be nice but I doubt Aerodactyl will ever get it, it makes less sense than Crobat getting it.
>>
>>26865171
Aren't pterodactyls ancient birds or smething? It'd make more sense than Crobat
>>
>>26864668
>>26865071
I think it would be a good nod towards the story of Samurott's inspiration. The reason why they thought sea lions seemed strong was because of how hard they slammed their tails on the ground.

>>26865179
There are as much bird as any other dinosaur.
>>
>>26865249
Didn't dinosaurs evolve into birds?
>>
>>26865261
Yeah so? Are you arguing Tyrantrum should get Brave Bird too?
>>
>>26865270
No, just that it makes more sense on Aerodactyl than Crobat, not less
>>
Also, Entei should get earthquake, too. If it's roar can cause volcanos to erupt, it should be able to create the same magnitude earthquake as a pine cone.
>>
>>26865298

There is no thematic reason why it can't get it, its purely balance reasons. Talonflame wrecks shit with its piddly 81 attack, Aero would be fucking obscene with 105 and no recoil. Doesn't even need Gale Wings with its speed.

Head Smash would be even dumber.

Pterosaurs were a different evolutionary branch from the dinosaurs that evolved into birds.

>>26865644

Which were a different branch from bats, but here we are.
