Power Whip gives us a strong STAB so as to open up the exploration of sketch more. Lets leave sketch to the coverage and boosting moves.
Further, I think Ice/Thunder punch are needless as Necturna has already been Allowed Ice/Thunder fang. Too many cooks spoil the broth ...or in this case pokemon moves.

Power Whip doesn't kill anything significant that Leaf Blade doesn't, while opening up usability for a Coil set.
While Ice Punch can handle Hydregion, it should be noted that Hydregion can be handled without Ice Punch (Hidden Power Ice/Bug/Fighting, X-Scissor, Bug Buzz). In my mind, giving the physical sets a method of dealing with Hydregion is a balancing act between the two sides of the spectrum.

ThunderPunch offers really no additional coverage besides hitting Gyarados. It also hits Skarm, but with something like Sacred Fire, ThunderPunch is irrevelant. Ice Punch gives Necturna a way of handling Hydreigon, which is supposed to be one of its main Checks. Allowing this does not seem like a good idea.
Edit: Actually, changing mind. ThunderPunch should not be allowed due to the fact that it adds coverage.

Of the two punches, I feel ThunderPunch is the most controllable because it only hits 2x weaknesses (Gyarados is hit quite effectively by Grass STAB) and still has trouble breaking through Skarmory. ThunderPunch also has precedent on Grass mons whereas Ice Punch does not.

My last post in the discussion thread explains this vote. I'm not saying ThunderPunch should be in the final movepool, but it seems unnecessary to disallow it.
