Meta-PokéBase Q&A

Sun & Moon have been out for nearly a week now, so the dust has probably settled enough that we can start with the moveset questions for competitive battling.

To avoid overloading the front page with tons of moveset questions at once, they will be asked by our friendly neighbourhood automaton, MovesetBot, probably at a rate of 1 per day.

As with X&Y, I've opened this thread as a "poll" for which Pokémon you'd like to see movesets for first.
Upvote the Pokémon you'd like to see, or if it's not listed then post an answer below with it.

List of new Pokemon here

UPDATE: the moveset questions have started! The starters are the first to go, there will probably be 2-3 new questions asked every other day or whenever the front page is bare of moveset questions.

UPDATE 2: I've added all the remaining Pokemon as answers here, make sure to upvote the ones you want movesets for sooner!

Post final evo starters too, as even if their not competitive they'll have a lot of interest.
I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask, but can we encourage everybody to down-vote Movesetbot and make him the lowest scoring user on Pokebase and Meta?
When will the questions start being asked?
@Pokemaster can you add a link to this thread from Movesetbot's about me section? So people won't ask moveset questions on its wall.
Will there be new questions for Alola forms?
Wait, since were doing Alolan forms now, does that mean people have to hide they're answers for Alolan forms on the Kanto movesets and repost them, wouldn't that mean an extra horde of points since hiding doesn't get rid of them? (do points still work that way?)
No, hiding gets rid of earned points, but lost points don't go back.
You keep all the points (negative or positive) until the post is deleted. Theoretically it could pose an issue, but it won't be a problem in the long run and the effects will be minimal. (Still personally think the Alolan forms should stay on the original Pokemon's page but eh.)
@GeekyJawa: Yes if you've posted a set for an Alolan form on the regular moveset question, re-post it on the new Q and hide the old answer. There were very few Alolan form answers when I checked so it's not a big problem.
If we ask separate questions about Alolan forms, we should also ask separate questions for different forms of Rotom and Kyurem. Those Pokemon also have very different forms.
Kyurem forms aren't hugely different, but I'll consider Rotom. Alolan Forms have different type, ability, stats and moves. I don't think any other forms have all of those.
Kyurem's forms have different abilities, stats, and moves. Isn't that different enough?
@sumwun I agree with Pokemaster. Terravolt and Turboblaze are similar and the only difference is the fire and electric moves and stat changes.
Wormadam's forms are also very different from each other, but I guess Wormadam itself is pretty irrelevant.
Are we also gonna do 'What's a good team for Sun and Moon'?
Oh...

(filler)
Bump because this still needs to be finished off. It has been 5 months.
Is movesetbot even a real person?
It's Pokemaster in a different account.
Will we still use this thread for the new US/UM Pokemon?
There are only three new evolution families, so he can just ask all three questions at once.
