Why do you suppose pokemon have pokedex entries that contradict things that they can or can't do? There are multiple pokemon like this, but the thought occured to me as I was looking at Garchomp's page on Bulbapedia. Check out the trivia entry:
* Although Garchomp is said to fly at the speed of sound, Pidgeot has a lower speed stat but is said to fly at Mach 2 speed, twice the speed of sound.
* Though its Pokédex entries make note of its astounding flying abilities, Garchomp cannot learn Fly or even possess the ability Levitate. Similarly, although Garchomp is known as the Mach Pokémon, it cannot learn Mach Punch or any other variation of Quick Attack (including Quick Attack itself).
* Despite Pokédex entries noting that, when in flight, Garchomp's wings create blades of wind that can fell nearby trees, Garchomp cannot learn Air Slash or Air Cutter.
Why is this?

By Jobe, you're correct! Go find every single error and I shall personally correct them, I want them in alphabetical and chronological order, and I expect the full list before any action is taken. Then, I will have you fill out the 256 forms, starting with excerpt 3a to have your changes brought into the game!

Your sarcasm is noted. It seemed like a good enough topic to talk about, unless it's already been done to death.

Hurmmm, Iunno, if you would like to compile an actual list that would be viable and not gamebreaking I'd be willing to take a look.

I don't think I'm the best one for that job. Not much motivation to compile a list of so many pokemon, and make their entries fit them better.
