I have a lot of nice in game movesets to share but I can’t do that. I could make a thread for that but I am unsure that it is allowed.

Not much of a point. In-game is just hyper offense, so you should generally have four attacking moves, or three attacking move and a boosting move. There's nowhere near as much strategy as in competitive.
Idts it will help. If you have movesets for a lot of Pokémon, you can try making teams with those and posting in the respective in-game team bazaar.
Also, as Omega said, in-game is usually about Offense only, so bringing a few hard-hitters with a few high BP Moves is usually enough.
There’s already a bunch of the threads for good in-game teams. These include the best In-Game sets most of the time.
Yeah I doubt this is going to happen. It doesn’t matter what you do in game if youre overleveled with a type advantage, and there’s really no strategy. Why would we waste are time making these anyway when people are going to spam it with competitive/plain terrible movesets anyway. Just go to the in game team posts, they have a crap ton of movesets most of which have been tested by the people posting the teams.

So that’s my reasoning on why this is a bad idea.

Unless somebody makes a really compelling case, I don't think we need threads like this. I personally do believe in-game movesets are worth talking about in terms of making a "most optimal" or "minimum hassle" run of the game, but even so, the others raise good points:

  • We already have in-game team threads with lots of in-game movesets. If you wanted a Luxray set for D/P, you could go to the D/P thread and find one there (including explanation), so separate in-game team threads don't really cover missing content on PokeBase.
  • There is no good way of organising them. Having just one thread for this extremely broad purpose would eventually be impossible to navigate, and having 500 new in-game moveset threads would put a massive strain on navigation. Our competitive threads do that enough.

I know it's annoying, but if you have good in-game movesets to share, you should work them into teams and post them on the team threads. I don't think there's enough of a need for separate in-game moveset threads that isn't covered already.
