>>58537789just dynamax it
>>58537514You could just hack Growl into any Pokemon's moveset, right? But what would it sound like? How was each Pokemon's Growl audio made? Would the game crash if the audio didn't exist?The game in general needs more moves that use the Pokemon's cry
>>58538215I'm pretty sure growl and all the other moves that use a pokémon's cry (like howl and roar) just distort it, there isn't like a unique growl sfx file for each pokemon
>>58537514The better question is why did this thing and Vulpix learn Roar as a pseudo-exclusive move? Dogs and foxes don't roar, they howl. When you think of roaring, you think of a lion or something.

>>58539111The Japanese name is ほえる(hoeru,) which in the form of 吠える can mean roar.However, that word also covers barking, yapping, yelping, howling and baying.In short, this is another one of those "the Japanese word covers way more than the English translation physically can."
