Is there a reason Breloom cannot learn Ice/Fire Punch?

Dec. 15, 2017



Hmm, this punching beast can’t use Fire or Ice Punch? I know Breloom is weak to both Ice and Fire, but Emboar learns Scald and Whiscash learns Spark so that NO excuse.

I think it actually is because Breloom is weak to Fire and Ice. The only Grass-types that can learn Fire Punch are Lombre and Ludicolo, which aren’t weak to Fire. The only Grass-types that learn Ice Punch are Lombre, Ludicolo, Snover, and Abomasnow, none of which are weak to Ice. Several Grass-types can learn Thunder Punch, and none of them are weak to Electric. In addition, no Bug-types can learn Fire Punch and the only Water-types that learn Thunder Punch are Lombre and Ludicolo. I don’t know why Emboar specifically can learn Scald, but it’s not too big of a stretch since Scald shoots boiling water at the opponent. Whiscash learns Spark because Whiscash is based on catfish and some catfish can generate electricity. So I guess this is more Game Freak logic, but it kind of makes sense.
