I want to start by saying thanks for the inclusion of an outrage move tutor in pwo. However I found it a little disappointing that only Arcanine is able to learn it since the way I see it other pokemon able to learn it could benefit from it to be usable battle wise (some of the picks are already popular currently but would have more choices for movesets). I'll be writing down pokemon able to learn it and leaving in bold those who could possibly see some use in battle due to it (my criteria on the pokes chosen is based on those that can learn outrage via move tutor on the handhelds).
Venusaur (mixed thoughts regarding this one), Charizard, Blastoise, Nidoking, Nidoqueen, Primeape, Marowak, Rhydon, Tauros, Gyarados, Lapras (would get a decent way of damaging other water types), Snorlax (though if we consider the influence it already has on the current metagame it might not be such a good idea unless moves that make fighting types viable are added), Meganium, Feraligatr, Ampharos, Kingdra (reluctant on this one due to it's access to both agility and dragon dance), Tyranitar, Sceptile, Swampert, Exploud, Aggron, Flygon, Altaria, Tropius, Salamence (could be able to make a return to the battle scene and since it lacks boosting moves there wouldn't be the risk of it becoming 'broken' like drago is), Abomasnow.
Now some of the examples stated here, namely Tauros and Primeape would need to see a few tms being released to be considered viable choices. A tm that could benefit both of them is stone edge/rock slide. This would also allow fighting other fighting types to be considered as they would no longer be completely helpless against drago. Also, the way I see it Tauros could benefit from the inclusion of earthquake (like many other pokemon would) and wild charge (wild charge would also allow rapidash not to be completely useless when facing water types, as it is a move that makes use of it's attack stat).
Moving on to pokes that have nothing to do with outrage, I see energy ball and focus blast being 2 important moves for Gengar and Alakazam. For starters it would allow them not to be helpless against their main counter (ttar) but would also be able to provide more coverage options.
Thunderbolt and flamethrower would also be moves that would bring some more balance to pwo as they not only would bring more options moveset wise (therefore sets could become a little more difficult to predict) as they would also be able to prevent scizor from boosting, this related to flamethrower.
Lastly I'd like to mention how moves like thunder wave and will o wisp could gain relevance in pwo if burn and paralyzis would work like they do on the handhelds, working as means of support but also having the possibility of rendering boosting useless.
I'm not expecting all of this to be implemented in one go. I'm just giving my two cents on what actually could improve the battle system imo. Also I'd like to hear some feedback from other players regarding these ideas of mine.
