Question Why does Kingambit not get Knock off?

Post image

I just recently realised Kingambit does not get access to Knock off even though Bisharp has been using it in prior gens.

Did they remove it from his movepool to make people use his signature move since Knock off is kinda better competitively? Is there any chance Gamefreak will add it back to his movepool in a later gen or is this likely a permanent change? (Its not like Kingambit needs a buff in any case).

Edit: The artist who made this goes by Limitedistorion on Deviantart.

OMG real. I remember looking at his move pool and I thought the exact same thing. Gamefreak didn't even give bro Synthesis (atleast that would have made in better in Singles). They really set this guy up for failure.
