I reserve the right to deny Move purchases if I think they would not fit, are too OP, or the Move you’re trying to buy is a Sig Move and/or heavily Plot Deviced (No, you can NOT buy Judgement for your Rattata) .
Thank you for that info, though there is a question I have about certain moves.
Lets say I want to get Lani Scale Shot, she does get this by tm in the games. The only pokemon that learns it naturally in gen 9 is roaring moon and that does not have a level listed, it can solely be taught with the move reminder. How would the cost look there?
Treat it like it was a lv 1 Move or different?
*Looks things up*
...Okay, this legit is interesting.
In cases like this, where the Move effectively has a 1 XP Cost (the bar min) and a LOT of Pokemon can ONLY learn it via TM or Tutor.....
Normally, if the Move is in a Mon's Learnset but not via Level Up (Such as an Egg, TM, or Tutor Move), I would go with the cost being 10 + Lowest Lv the Move Can be learnt. While I could do so here, I feel like letting over 40 Mons effectively get a Multi-Hit Move that boosts DEX for 11 XP would be a mite bit too convenient . So for most Non-Dragons, the Move can only be learnt via TM or by Tutor cost. For most Dragons, the Move would cost 35 XP - not too high, but not too low to be an easy grab either.
In the case of a Pseudo Dragon though....things can be more lenient. Especially in the case of Lani's species line - I can easily see more canny and pragmatic members of the species learning how to weaponize their own natural armor in such a manner. So I will say it'd cost her 20 XP to learn the Move, and it's Stats would be: STR + 1 , Multi-Hit (Can hit 2 - 5 Times) , - 1 Accuracy, Lower Defense by 1 and Increase Dex by 1 when used the first time (Dex boost does NOT stack with Dragon Dance).
Like the wind, I come and go as I please... but I am always there to provide a comforting breeze.
