General Rules apply.
With the new generation comes... the need to make our super OP CAP Pokémon even less bearable to deal with in ASB. I'm not going to be super strict on this but don't derail the topic and leave your fanboy urges at the door.
---
Anyway, preliminary moveset additions with (crappy) logic:
Those getting a Level-Up move will have their Level-up movepool retooled.
Syclar: Lunge (Egg)
Syclant: Lunge (Egg)
Not too Farfetch'd, Syclant move really fast and learn a few ramming moves though generic in nature, Lunge makes a natural fit as an Egg Move. Did consider adding First Impression as a possible egg move but decided against it for the moment though I'm not ruling it out.
Revenankh: Brutal Swing (TM)
Lots of Fighting-types get it and Revenankh's arms look like something it can feasibly swing with.
Embirch: Leafage (Lv)
Flarelm: Leafage (Lv)
Pyroak: Burn Up (Lv), Leafage (Lv)
Leafage is a basic Grass-type move that fits with the the Embirch line. Pyroak gets Burn Up as a semi-useful move to deal lots of damage and escape its Fire-typing at the cost of losing STAB Flare Blitz. Makes sense from it overcharging its arm cannons and running out of fire ammo.
Breezi: We'll get right
Fidgit: Back to you
Currently have Spotlight down as Level-up for both and Instruct as Level-up for Fidgit. Both fit from a flavour standpoint given Fidgit's pure utility concept but I am concerned on balance so I am going to sleep on this one for a bit. Did also look at Purify but went "yeah no".
Rebble: Accelerock (Lv)
Bolderdash: Accelerock (Lv)
Stratagem: Accelerock (Lv)
Super fast heap of rock rams into target at full speed, no argument here.
Privatyke: Liquidation (Egg)
Arghonaut: Brutal Swing (TM), Liquidation (Egg)
Liquidation is a welcome buff to the Arghonaut line that gives it a better Physical Attack and it can feasibly ram into things with it. Arghonaut has good enough reach to feasibly use Brutal Swing (Swing Hook and Knife!).
Nohface: N/A
Kitsunoh: N/A
Nothing in the move department really fits. Might consider giving it the dummied out Trick-or-Treat from the last update but that's as far as I am going.
Monohm: N/A
Duclohm: N/A
Cyclohm: N/A
89 moves forever sorry dogfish, couldn't find anything that would make sense.
Colosshale: N/A
Colossoil: Brutal Swing (TM)
It's large, it's mobile, and it can definitely flail its body around wildly. Colossoil only because I really can't see Colosshale using it as a landlocked whale whose movement is limited.
Protowatt: N/A
Krilowatt: Liquidation (Lv)
Krilowatt is the kind of Pokémon who could use Liquidation very easily. Not ruling out giving it Zing Zap but I can't see it being able to become completely ball-like ala Togedemaru for it to be a possibility.
Voodoll: Power Trip (Egg)
Voodoom: Brutal Swing (TM), Power Trip (Egg)
Voodoom could feasible use Brutal Swing similar to Bewear. Power Trip gives it a much needed buff and a way to capitalise on its electric-trolling capabilities. Bulk Up > Power Trip shenanigans anyone?
Scratchet: N/A
Tomohawk: N/A
Can't see anything for it really.
Necturine: N/A
Necturna: N/A
Can't see anything for it really.
Mollux: N/A
Can't see anything for it really.
Cupra: N/A
Argalis: N/A
Aurumoth: Psychic Terrain (Lv)
The legendary bug gets a legendary move with legendary implications. Psychic Terrain works fine for Aurumoth from a flavour standpoint given its numerous psychic powers and the ability to learn the useless rooms (Magic/Wonder) so Psychic Terrain is reasonable. Bit iffy on balance since Psychic Terrain + its stats + priority immunity = well... yeah.
Brattler: Brutal Swing (TM)
Malaconda: Brutal Swing (TM)
I mean the Onix line and Serperior gets Brutal Swing so the snakes getting STAB Brutal Swing is pretty reasonable. Did consider Power Trip but Malaconda gets nothing to really take advantage of it so it would be a waste...
Cawdet: N/A
Cawmodore: N/A
I did consider Beak Blast as a possible Egg/Level-Up but it doesn't make real sense considering Toucannon (the only Pokémon with it) has the world's largest beak:body ratio to make use of it. Anchor Shot is a reasonable addition that can be considered.
Gen VI CAP's will focus on fleshing out movepools with some utility thrown in.
Volkritter: Clear Smog (Egg), Ember (Lv), Lava Plume (Lv)
Volkraken: Clear Smog (Egg), Ember (Lv), Lava Plume (Lv)
Ember helps with combo movepools, Lava Plume (and Clear Smog) were allowed for movepool subs and fit into the flavour nicely and give Volkraken extra utility.
Snugglow: Defog (Egg)
Plasmanta: Defog (Egg)
Defog was an allowed move and considering Plasmanta is like an Electric-type Mantine, it's reasonable from a flavour perspective. Also increased utility.
Floatoy: Water Sport (Egg)
Caimanoe: Water Sport (Egg)
Naviathan: Anchor Shot (Lv), Water Sport (Egg)
Water Sport is a reasonable flavour move that further lies into the "I'm a Steel-type who stops Fire-types" nature of the Pokémon. Not fully sold on Anchor Shot but considering its a boat... It doesn't have an anchor though but that didn't stop Wooper from using Ice Punch rofl. Not ruling out giving it Liquidation.
Crucibelle: N/A
Didn't find anything for it really. I considered Purify like with Fidgit but went "No".
???: Aromatic Mist (Egg), Fairy Wind (Egg)
Kerfluffle: Aromatic Mist (Egg), Fairy Wind (Egg)
Aromatic Mist fits in with Aroma Veil and the like Kerfluffle gets and Fairy Wind helps with the combo movepool.

This is a preliminary list of the new moves for the CAP's and is subject to change. Please be respectful and leave all salt at the door. You may argue for some additions and removals but you must be very convincing for me to consider it because I am not going to add or remove moves just to satisfy one's personal desires.
Discussion closes when I am ready to introduce Gen VII. There will be no vote on the matter.
