Moves that Pokémon Should Learn... But They Don't.

[StarlightSearcher]

So how can Jolteon use Pin Missile?

I'm not exactly sure; but can't a hedgehog/porcupine fire off it's needles in self-defense?

I don't think so, but I'm not entirely sure about it..
Oh and also, if Jolteon is capable of kicking via Double Kick, why can't he also punch with Thunder Punch?

I think the game refers to them as "pins/needles" like a hedgehog's/porcupine's rather then spikes.

And Jolteon's isn't?

Only Porcupines can detach their spikes.

I don't get why the Charmander line can't learn Flash. I know it's a bad move, but it doesn't make sense that Pokémon with built in lighters can't learn it.
