You can usually look at a moves Japanese name to figure out its weird distribution. For heat wave its Japanese name translates to ‘Hot Wind’. This likely implies that many bird Pokémon learn this move as they are able to use their wings to blow hot air at the opponent. Kisses xoxo

@@WhiteManOnCampus”This is common in summer in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. This is because the jet stream 'follows the sun'. The high pressure area is on the equator side of the jet stream in the upper layers of the atmosphere. Weather patterns are generally slower to change in summer than in winter. So, this upper level high pressure also moves slowly. Under high pressure, the air sinks toward the surface. It warms and dries adiabatically. This inhibits convection and prevents the formation of clouds. A reduction of clouds increases the shortwave radiation reaching the surface. A low pressure area at the surface leads to surface wind from lower latitudes that brings warm air, enhancing the warming. The surface winds could also blow from the hot continental interior towards the coastal zone. This would lead to heat waves on the coast. They could also blow from high towards low elevations. This enhances the subsidence or sinking of the air and therefore the adiabatic warming.[31][32]” From wikipedia, but yeah Heat Wave makes perfect sense

squakabilly cant even make good use out of sheer force, which is kinda sad. Despite being bad, alot of mons have something cool going for it but then there are mons worse than being simply outclassed. for example: fearrow and carnivine have like nothing going for them. If made in gen 9, carnivine would maybe be immune to bug and have a "freeze dry" grass type move to counter bugs. Fearrow is just an uninspired relic of the past (drill run and sniper + focus energy is kinda nice tho?). Maybe in the future, some squakabilly variant could get dancer or some new parot-like ability but for now, its pretty plain as well. maybe they can make all these terrible pokemon mixed attackers/ defenders or something so even if their stats are effectively badly distributed, they actually have something going for them via a higher BST. as for some mons like dustox, spidops, ledian, pukumuku, etc.) some new evolutions would do them some good since theres already a good enough concept established but simply not enough stats past early-game. medicham isnt even early game (lv 37) yet its spattk needs to be way better-right now for its current evolution level.

If Chatot was allowed to have stats and/or Abilities, Chatter would be the most fucked up move in the game. A 100% confusion chance on a move that's 100% accurate, doesn't have any immunities, deals more damage on average than Dynamic Punch, and it can go through Substitute? Chatot got banned in Gen 6 AAA because of Gale Wings Chatter. As for Heat Wave, it's a wind move (called "Hot Wind" in Japan), and Flying-types like their wind.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as they say. To me, I see far more beauty when a monster in a monster collector justifies its existence not just in battle but with worldbuilding or certain features in the game. It's part of why I praise Yo-Kai Watch so much for doing that. With Pokemon, Chansey being a Nurse Joy assistant and Cubone's sad story leading tonthe Marowak ghost are probably the better examples. For recent games, stuff like Revavroom and Tinkaton removing the Corviknight flying feature kinda fall into that vein.

That sentiment is also why I have a visceral hatred for Pawmo lmao.

I always just assumed winged mons that can learn heat wave just flap their wings really fast creating a heat wave or depending on their secondary type like zapdos,he uses electricity to heat up the air then flap it at you.

Heatwave is a wind move, and is often slotted into Flying pokemon movesets as a coverage option against Steel types, which they often have no other answer for the defensive prowess of, and Ice types, which they rarely have much coverage for either outside the occasional Close Combat/Superpower or _Steel Wing._ Some might be able to run Flame Charge as well, but let's face it you don't run _Flame Charge_ for the damage, and Talonflames aren't known for needing much in the way of speed buffs. Steels they can't really hurt, and Ices they can't allow an attack from.

Despite it not being good, Venomoth is one of my favorite Pokémon and has a decent special sweeping set so I still put it on some of my teams sometimes just to mess around with it :)

Chatot is a one trick pony but the combination of a decent speed/SpA and Heat Wave/HV/Boom always made it at least a little relevant in the lowest tiers. It folding like paper is what holds it back but hey that's more than you can say of most two/three stages 😂

Yeah swellow can do that too. I just wish they did something to differentiate it a bit, either make it stronger or faster

the heat wave thing might be because of thermal currents, some birds will use hot air rising to help them gain altitude

Boomburst's Japanese name: 爆音パ means "explosive sound" so basically, the idea behind birds getting it is the shrill chirping noise they can make but extended instead of being a short chirp. It's more akin to something like a sonicboom but a sonicboom has a much deeper tonality and moves at a supersonic speed, hence the name. Boomburst is higher pitch, but less speed. That's my theory anyway.

Heat Wave is "hot wind" in Japanese, so thematically it fits on flying types.

I’ll keep saying this every time I hear Chatot slander: a 100% confusion move + boomburst and coverage is really all you need. I used it in gen 6 OU and against the unprepared it would very often pick up at least 1-2 KOs. Often would down half the other team with a little luck.

Boomburst == Boom + sounds. Birds screech loud and if they fly fast enough break soundbarrier. xD I think they are just combining both of these images into a "plausible ability". Ofc no one is naturally doing any of that and they aren't fast enough nor loud enough for that... but then again, no one is naturally shooting a hyber beam either, so.
