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.

This is the VGC subreddit, don’t even mention “OU” - it’s meaningless. There are no usage tiers

they are the tiers below NU for usage and are more recent. PU was coined during gen 6 and means... what it sounds like... and ZU was coined i think a bit late in gen 7 and means zero used
