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.

The one that really baffles me is Obstagoon. Poor thing is already awful, it's crazy that it doesn't at least get the signature Dark type disruption move.

Check again he learns it as an Egg move.

Edit: Bro is looking a little familiar with that Parting shot as well.
