Cross Chop. Hammer Arm seems a little too inconsequential.
Ice Punch, if anything. Provides enough coverage to add variety in there. Fire Punch, maybe. Thunderpunch would be pushing it.
Oh, and to the current arguments against Fire Punch, Weezing's using Flamethrow- *Kaboom*
Blatant yes to Will o Wisp.
I don't see what's too wrong with WoW in everybody's eyes, but here's my argument:
"It being available to just about every ghost is irrelevant"
And yet, we see the arguments on Hammer Arm and SuperPower being available to only non-fighting Pokemon, and therefore, shouldn't be given. Tell me, what makes WoW so special?
"It doesn't fit thematically (possibly include how it's a vengeful mummy)"
Well, how does an explosion-prone (Koffing/Weezing) or steel Pokemon (Aggron/Bastiodon) use a move like Fire Blast, then? It doesn't have to be thematically appropriate to be there. But in a way, it also is thematically appropriate. WoW is otherworldly, and so is a walking mummy. Plus, desert mirages.
"But... Dusknoir!"
Isn't going to die from this thing getting WoW. First of all, it's still not entirely clear how this thing getting Will o' Wisp is going to make it a Dusknoir copy, there are plenty of other distinguishing factors. Second of all, why are we worrying? I'm pretty sure Nintendo wasn't forgetting Infernape or Flygon when they made D/P, and yet...
Now, if we can go for WoW on how it would work on the mummy's competitive viability, then we'll have something to talk about.
