Poorly written/misleading Pokedex Descriptions?

Dark Seraphim · 03-01-2010, 11:24 AM

Some Pokedex descriptions speak of Pokemon doing strange things, wonderous things, incredble things . . . that it actually doesn't really do at all. I've stumbled across one myself just looking around at Pokemon, has anyone else found any?

Yanmega
Platinum: Its jaw power is incredible. It is adept at biting apart foes while flying by at high speed.

Despite being described as having a powerful bite, Yanmega only has one Bite-type move, Bug Bite which is only 60 power. It doesn't know Bite, Crunch, Fire Fang, Poison Fang, Ice Fang, or Thunder Fang. Not only that, it doesn't even learn Bug Bite normally, it needs to retroactively learned with a Heart Scale.
