Why can Incineroar learn Leech Life/Umbreon learn Psychic?

1 minute read

Part 1: Leech Life is a move that steals HP. How does Incineroar have the ability to perform that action?

Part 2: …What the heck. Umbreon can learn Psychic??? How in ALOLA is that possible? Dark type learning Psychic move. Just like Fire/Dark type learning Bug type move. (Fire types learning Solar Beam have an exception!)

Can anyone follow up on how these two moves are possible?

Leech Life is based on fangs and sucking blood like a vampire (although admittedly the Litten family doesn’t have the biggest fangs). Incineroar is a Dark type, and sucking blood is a pretty messed up thing to do. The move is probably a Bug type because it may have originally been based on paralysis ticks, but is more generalised as being based on vampires instead (i.e. Zubat family).As for Umbreon and Psychic:Pokedex for ‘Y’, ‘B/W2’: When exposed to the moon’s aura, the rings on its body glow faintly and it’s filled with amysterious power.Pokedex for ‘B/W’, ‘Platinum’: When exposed to the moon’s aura, the rings on its body glow faintly and it gains amysterious power.Psychic could easily come under a general heading of ‘mysterious power’.
