Based on the bison from the Great Plains, a land famous for big thunderstorms and blizzards.

For the same reason Scyther couldn't learn Cut.

Tbh I always assumed it worked like this for moves that don't exactly make complete sense for a pokemon to learn for some way.

That or it is in the pokemons lore or maybe an anime reference or something of that nature.

Sorry, I was thinking Fly. Pidgey can fly, but not Scyther?

It's a stone-cold badass that shocks and awes.
Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends
And watch the city spread out just like a jet's flame

Normal Pokemon get huge TM learnsets in exchange for their type not hitting anything super effectively.
They/them

Normal types need some kind of coverage due to the fact they can't hit anything super effectively. That's why their move sets can be so varied.
I believe in the Golden Rule and you should too!

In general earlier Pokemon gens (I would say this tendency stopped being common around Gen 5, even Gen 4 had things like its fossil Pokemon of all things having ridiculous Gen 1 Normal-esque TM learnsets) are just weird with TM learnsets

I came in to talk about normal pokemon having a lot of capability. I had a Wigglytuff that had some really strong elemental abilities.
I am that Naruto crap.

When I was a kid I honestly did wonder how your surfing Pokemon got back to you when you fly in the middle of the ocean :<

Anotger reason: a lot of really Gen 1 were designed before they had the typings mapped out and they just gave them a plethora of moves. See the Nidos, Rhydon, etc.

Same reason a pokemon like rhydon could learn Surf, Blizzard, Thunder and fire blast even though it touching water would cause it to explode.

I see it more as them treating Pokemon like actual monsters in Gen 1 and a lot things get weird coverage that doesn't make sense stat wise. Also why almost all Pokemon can learn toxic until recently which didn't make a lot of sense either.
This is a signature to draw attention away from the fact that I don't have a signature.

Damn that was good
The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction has to make sense.
