Add a "commonly used moves on a pokemon" to the builder. Index has them but its not smth many people even know about or something that a player may be aware of
Pokemon such as okidogi in sv uu has many moves but it maybe has 8 it wants to use and options like counter, body slam, focus punch, curse, double edge are just not moves you want to use on it. A way to do it maybe like:
Commonly used moves:
| Psychic Fangs |
| Drain Punch |
| Bulk Up |
| Knock Off |
| Gunk Shot |
| Poison Jab |
| Close Combat |
(maybe it can go to top 10)
Moves:
The current list minus the top 10 moves
Usually Useless moves:
The current list
Why add this? This can help new players to get into the format better as it gives them options that have been proven to be good and while analysis exists older formats with outdated analysis or when analysis arent kept up to date (like SS and SV with analysis only being regularly updated post dlc and some even arent updated rn https://www.smogon.com/dex/sv/pokemon/froslass/monotype/ or this old analysis https://www.smogon.com/dex/rs/pokemon/jynx/).
Why use moves in the first place? Moves can help a person who is new to a meta that might have outdated analysis for the time to see what is happening... after all not everything is kept up to date https://www.smogon.com/dex/rs/pokemon/charizard/ like how ADV zard analysis is filled with errors that have not aged well. Knowing that the most common zard sets are special can allow a player to be able to better build teams in a metagame where trends often leave older things in the dust
