Why can't I verify these sets in STABmons?

1 minute read

I’m an Other Metagames player, so this might be a bit repetitive but why can’t I verify these 3 sets? They appear just fine.

Tauros @ Life OrbAbility: Sheer ForceTera Type: FightingEVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 SpeJolly Nature- Extreme Speed- Earthquake- Substitute- Close Combat

Gallade @ Life OrbAbility: SharpnessTera Type: DarkEVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 SpeJolly Nature- Shadow Claw- Sacred Sword- Victory Dance- Psycho Cut

Kingambit @ Lum BerryAbility: Supreme OverlordTera Type: DarkEVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpDBrave NatureIVs: 0 Spe- Sucker Punch- Gyro Ball- Spin Out- Wicked Blow

Upon verification, it seems that Tauros can’t learn Extreme Speed, Gallade can’t learn Victory Dance, and Kingambit can’t learn Wicked Blow. But they’re all STAB moves. How does this work?

According to the Smogon page for STABmons, the following moves are only available to Pokemon that learn them naturally:

Therefore, none of your three will ever be valid with those moves, unfortunately.
