Also, I move that we use the 2500 cap
Because a lot of my Pokémon are just barely over 1500

I propose that we have no cap, and you all stop being big babies about everything.
One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.

Actually I retract my previous statement
I have quite a few good Pokemon under 1500
But my BEST are 1501+

not at all, that's smart play
just beware passing on neutral damage moves from much stronger mons

It's going to be awesome when I can afford a second charge move.

Second charge moves are really expensive
And that’s not okay

I have one of my dragonites a second move.
I'm not sure what the actual options for are it though, I assume hurricane won't do much. (It already has outrage)

Hurricane is what you want for a second move, it still gets stab and the net dps loss is like ~2.5 so it's the best second choice (the other is a normal type so doesn't have Arab and is like... closer to 5 dps loss I think...not so great)

So far, from the battling I've done, the 2500 league seems like the most interesting one. Allows for some decently high-end stuff, with a diverse range of options available. 1500 is fun, Master league was least interesting of the three as yet, but I've also played far less of it.

But I'd be up for battling in any of the tiers, in any case.

Hey, does anyone know why certain pokémon can't learn the 3rd move?

I just took a quick glance and noticed neither Kriketot not Beldum can. It's not a baby pokemon or a first stage thing because others in those categories can.

Nvm. I noticed both have struggle and checked Magicarp, who cannot wither. I guess they have no other move possibilities and are thus blocked from the third slot.

Mystery solved!

an explanation that comes to mind is that they don't have enough moves to begin with?

i remember from the games that beldum only learns take down until it evolves

Beldum and Krikketot only have one charged move (Struggle) in their pool, so they don't have a second one to learn. The later evolutions of them can gain a second one as usual.

PEDIT: Well then, double ninja'd.
