Dragon Tail, huh Korski? That's pretty controversial, considering it was never discussed... Though I suppose Roar and Whirlwind were... still, odd that you chose that over at least Whirlwind, flavorfully unfitting as all three are. I notice you chose to omit Haze and Clear Smog as well, which seem more fitting to me... It's just my opinion, but I don't feel that hazard-shuffling should be Mollux's primary role. The merits of preventing Dragon-types from setting up are valid concerns, though I WILL say that the main reason it is flavorfully incorrect isn't for the lack of a tail, necessarily, but for the fact that Mollux isn't reptilian. Not dragon, even, but reptilian. The commonality between all Pokemon who receive Dragon Tail (with the debatable exception of Slowking, who potentially might be) is that they are reptilian in design, physiology, or nature, which Mollux is almost certainly not and thus is not a good recipient for the move. If you feel such a phazing move should absolutely be included, why not Circle Throw? It certainly makes more flavor sense than Dragon Tail.

A minor nitpick would be to note that Whirlpool is an HM from HG/SS, and HMs are non-transferable to B/W... There are still a few mons that learn Whirlpool in Gen 5 but the list isn't nearly that extensive.

Thanks and good luck to you as well.
EDIT: I will say that I appreciate your interpretation on the whole lava lamp/pacifism thing, that's an interesting take... My own was a much more literal take on the abilities of the cone snail and lava lamp... so it's nice to see people thinking deeper like that. ~__~


Made some final edits to my own movepool. I realized that all TM-learning Pokemon get Facade, so I've added that.

EDIT: -sigh- Well, I'm done. I'm not terribly proud of myself, but I've gone and added some moves I was intent on discluding, (among them Flame Charge, Calm Mind, and Acid Armor) in an effort to make my movepool more appealing to everyone. =___= Hurricane, Power Gem, Wish, Trick, Confuse Ray, and Magnet Rise were among the most noteworthy moves that I decided to disclude, and I'm quite certain about them, at least. I might tweak it a bit more but overall I think it's satisfactory.

Screw it, I'm not done, Korski's right my egg moves are still swollen. >___<
