For Level Move 53, I like Hammer Arm. Dynamic Punch is also good, but I don't like the others.

I'd also like to chime in and say I don't think he should have a sleep inducing move. Being able to shrug off hits and then sleep the enemy seems a little too good. Unless someone has a good reason for it's inclusion, I don't like it. On my original movelist, I had Nightmare with no sleep inducing move because 1) it fit thematically and 2) it was a way to punish sleep talkers like Heracross that think they'll be okay.

As for Moonlight / Recover / Morning Sun / Whatever, I don't care. Either way it's inferior to Rest when using Shed Skin, so it doesn't matter to me.

As for Elemental Punches, no Fire Punch. In fact, no physical fire moves at all. Physical fire means his body would have fire in contact with it, thus he should burn, not the enemy. Thunder Punch and Ice Punch I don't care about one way or the other.

Will-o-wisp has been argued so much already, I don't feel like arguing about it more. I don't like it, but honestly I don't see if being used too often if it does get included. My vote goes to no for it though, since this is supposed to be a bulky offensive Pokemon, is it not?

What should the main Fighting STAB move be??
-Close Combat
-Cross Chop
-Dynamic Punch
-Hammer Arm
-Super Power

Which, if any, of the Elemental Punches does this get??
-Fire Punch
-Ice Punch
-ThunderPunch

Does this get Recovery outside of Rest??
-Yes, move is Moonlight (fits better with a vengeful mummy than Morning Sun)
-No
-Don't Care

Does this get Will-o-Wisp??
-Yes
-No
