The problem therewith is that most of those pokemon have such limited movepools that it stops being "Here's the moveset that usually works best for this pokemon, but you can tweak or replace it to suit different needs or niches" and starts being "There is no reason ever to use any moves but these". Magikarp, Ditto, Tynamo, Unown, Caterpie, Weedle, and Kakuna, have exactly one possible combination of moves, while Metapod, Beldum, and Wurmple essentially have five moves to choose from (discounting redundancies), and the 'coons have six but who would ever use snore? Burmy's in the same boat, but is a wildcard thanks to HP. Essentially, Combee is the only Fail Cupper that lets you have any fun with the design, which doesn't really recommend the metagame to me.
It's just Poke, Paper, Scissors. Even moreso than pokemon is usally, I mean.
