Talk:Fishious Rend (move)

Should this move be considered a signature move?

Even though this move is usable by Dracovish and Arctovish, there are two things to consider. One is that, for example, Nature's Madness, is considered the Tapus' signature move, even though it's not exclusive to a single evolutionary line, so classification as a signature move isn't limited to moves usable by only one evolutionary line, aside from Smeargle via Sketch. Second, we must consider the move's lore. Since the Gen 8 fossils are technically fusions of ancient Pokemon via incorrect reconstruction, rather than actual ancient Pokemon, as all previous fossils are, and Dracovish and Arctovish were made with the same head fossil, and this move is executed with the head, there was presumably only one ancient Pokemon able to use it. Thus, I think it should be considered a signature move, and likewise with Bolt Beak. ThighFish (talk) 01:45, 16 October 2020 (UTC)ThighFish

I agree, if we have Nature's Madness for the Tapus, unrelated by evolutionary line but related in lore/group. It's the same with Fishious Rend, used only by pokemon that are revived from the fossilized fish combinations.Animaltamer7 (talk) 02:03, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
