Lemme just answer some of your movelist questions ahead of time, @Spiritmon.
- Poison Jab isn't on the Axew line's listings at all in the book, and is only available for teaching if Iron says you can do so.
- Iron Tail isn't listed for the Axew line in the book either, but...if you remember, there was a Steel type move tutor the first time we visited Route 04, and they could teach Iron Tail to a large variety of pokemon...provided you had the funds for it, that is. It was kinda expensive, but it's how Calam (and Mamo and Lucifer) learned Iron Tail, despite the move not being on Absol's list in the book. The problem: you'd have to track that move tutor down since they might not be on Route 04 any more. Aside from that method, though, you'd need GM approval for move compatibility.
- Hidden Power is a near universal TM, so it's compatible automatically. However, it's also a really rare TM from what I understand. People who can automatically tell what a pokemon's Hidden Power do are also few and far between, as that particular skill is borderline supernatural because of how varied Hidden Power is in Pokerole. (if you think about it, it also adds a whole new meaning to 'breeding for Hidden Power' in the context of the Pokerole universe...getting it to be the correct type is one thing. Getting the desired effects is probably another entirely, if not outright/almost impossible!) I'm not sure we'll see a Hidden Power diviner in this campaign (as I doubt Iron wants to type out what every single pokemon's Hidden Power can do when they can vary enough to be entirely unique to every single individual.)
- Draco Meteor is only on Haxorus's movelist in the book, and can thus only be learned after Koa is fully evolved by Iron's rules for this campaign unless Iron says otherwise. (which was established awhile ago) If you hadn't noticed, almost all Dragon types that have Draco Meteor listed got this treatment, only having DM listed after becoming fully evolved (Gible and Gabite are the sole exceptions to needing to be fully evolved to learn the move, and the only non-Plot Deviced, fully evolved Dragons that don't have it listed are Dragalge, Tyrantrum, Druddigon, Turtonator, Drampa, and Alolan Exeggutor). Draco Meteor kinda got the same treatment the elemental Hyper Beams did as a result. Access to that move is kinda plot deviced as well since you need a very special move tutor to be able to teach it. And on top of that, there's the whole Happiness/Loyalty requirement that needs to be fulfilled, too...if a pokemon needs Loyalty equal to or greater than its Disobedience to learn the move (same as the elemental Hyper Beams), Koa would need the full 5 Loyalty to learn the move with Haxorus's default 5 Disobedience.
