The exact opposite of this thread, which Pokémon, either trained or wild, in the Anime did you think had good movesets?

As for my opinion, I thought Mukuhawk had a really good, varied movepool. Ariel Ace was a standard Flying type move with no risks, Quick Attack could be used for speed, Brave Bird was a very powerful move and Close Combat gave excellent coverage to what is normally a very un-versatile type combination. Bonus points for there being shown recoil for Brave Bird.
 
Ash's Krokorok has an excellent moveset.
Crunch, Dig Stone Edge, Thunder Fang(To be shown in BW068)
 
Volt tackle circa Pikachu was pretty good, IMO. ...except for quick attack, which can still just diaf.

Volt tackle = physical electric
Thunderbolt = ranged electric
Iron tail = type coverage

quick attack = why is this still here
 
Ash's Infernape. Mach Punch for close combat hand to hand action, Flare blitz as that powered-up full body blow attack, Dig which actually is quite a versatile move since it can be used both offensively and defensively, and last but not least a ranged attack in Flamethrower. All in all a very well-balanced moveset with great entertainment value.
 
Ash's staraptor had a really good meveset that would make for an excellent in game one too. quick attack, ariel ace, close combat and brave bird. Flint's infernape's moveset was sweet too even though he had like 5 moves. I believe it was thunder punch, close combat, flamethrower, mach punch, flare blitz (I think)
 
I would love Haruka's Bursyamo, Harley's Noctus, and Urara's Gabite's movepools if they didn't change every other Thursday. I did like however Haruka's Agehunt, Glacia and Gonbe's final movesets(Gonbe why y no evolve). Urara's Pokémon's moveset, when compared to Hikari's, is great, the two movesets are basically counterparts of each other, just like their Pokémon. But since Hikari's Pokémon's movesets mostly suck, so does Urara's by proxy. Harley's Okutank had a great movepool. Jupette and Ariados had pretty okay movesets too, even though Harley had to hack for Ariados' Shadow Ball.

As for Satoshi's Pokémon, Buoysel was sort of a mixed bag. On one hand, badass Ice Punch. On other hand, completely pointless Sonicboom. Same goes for Dodaitose too, though that was mostly because they tried to make it a goddamn car instead of a mountain. Goukazaru and Mukuhawk's were great, though Goukazaru could maybe benefit from a larger variety, considering the species somehow learn every technique ever, but then again Journey to West and Goku. Glion had an amazing movepool, but then again, it kinda had to, since it's strongest STAB move is banned forever. Yorunozoku eventually got a pretty cool moveset. Gantle and Fukamaru has nice movepools too.

Quite a few of Haruka's one-shot opponents had nice movepools too.

Almost all of Shinji's Pokémon had either great movepools or gained great ones eventually. Shooty's Pokémon's movesets are pretty cool too, at least for the early time of the series. My most favourite is Dotekkotsu's, though that's either because he is my favourite in his team, or because of Stone Edge. Or both.

Goddamnit Ogata. I swear to God, next we see him, he will doing the pose. Wait.
Definately both.

A good chunk of Naoshi and Nozomi's Pokémon also had pretty neat movesets, so did most of Shuu's Pokémon, especially last ones, like Absol and Butterfree. Kengo's first three Pokémon also had great movepools for the early part of the series he used them, but alas... Jun's Sawamular also had a good movepool, though his Roserade was only good for WTF factor of Poison Jab sadly. Kouhei's team also had good movepool, mostly again either for the early part of the series he used them or the surprise factor they had. Langley's Pokémon's movesets are also good, so is Iris'(besides Kibago) for the early part of series. Dent's Iwaperesu also has a nice movepool.

Yeah, that's about all I got for now really.

Edit: I also liked the moveset of Kikuno's Kabarudon, Ooba's Goukazaru and Shirona's Pokémon's movesets. Kurotsugu's Dosaidon had also a nice one. Also many, many gym trainers.
