(Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

Sad that Z-A seemingly hasn't given a buff to Pidgeot's movepool, specifically for Mega. I like what they did with Mega Pidgeot, taking a very mediocre mon that excels at nothing and randomly making it a fast strong special attacker with 100% accurate Hurricanes, but the fact that No Guard really only affects Hurricane on the mon makes it feel like a bit of wasted potential. Like it probably wouldn't make sense to give the most basic Route 1 bird moves like Thunder and Blizzard, but it really should get something else to make good use of No Guard with.

It's so weird to me that Pidgeot is one of the only "generic Special Attacking" mons they never gave access to a Focus Blast TM/TR. Flying/Fighting Coverage with 120 BP and no misses would be pretty solid, maybe throw in Uproar for Normal STAB even if not benefitting the ability.

Pidgeot already learns Uproar.

Yes, my point is using Focus Blast with the existing STAB since Fighting compliments Flying and Normal well
