    One idea that you could also do is have the freezing air from their charge turn empart some defensive bonus. You can do a lot with it, though the evil answer is to automatically freeze anybody that makes contact on that turn.

    Fun fact about Chatter: before gen 6 it didn't have a 100% confusion. Instead in gens 4 and 5 you could customize its sound and increase its confusion rate depending on how loud it was. The thing was that a lot of people used Chatter to say really messed up things like the n-word. So it was banned from competitive.

    Shell Trap is slightly odd, whilst it has -3 priority on paper, it actually fires immediately after the opponent if the enemy makes contact with Turtonator, which can actually potentially allow it to even act earlier than it would with its regular speed. For example, if the enemy used Extreme Speed on Turtonator, then Shell Trap would essentially become a priority move. That said if it could be triggered by any offensive move it could be really nasty, alternatively if Shell Trap reduced damage taken it could also be more useful.

    Electric has a ton of good signature moves because whenever Gamefreak wants to make an electric physical attacker good, they don't want it to spill over into making electric physical attackers good in general. So they get a signature move, becoming one of the few electric physical attackers allowed to have good STAB. The same thing happens with 100% accurate rock moves.

    In pokemon detergent (a mod of insurgence), the cubone line gets the ability "bone zone" which doubles the power of bone moves, and also make them ignore immunities. It makes cubone somewhat viable. Trick-or-treat is problematic in doubles paired with curse: If a non-ghost type uses curse they don't get to select a target, because the move targets the user. They can then become a ghost type before the move is executed, but ghost-type curse requires a target, so what happens? The behavior has been different in every single game, including crashing the game!

    My thoughts regarding all mentioned moves: Barrage: would be forgivable if Exeggcute was found much earlier in the games they appear in Conversion 2: would have made so much more sense if it was given priority Trick or Treat: in generations without Tera, i can at least see utility in this when your ally is 4x weak to fighting Forest's Curse: i unironically like this move due to Grass' immunity to powder moves Sparkling Aria: i adore Primarina, so it hurts that their signature move has very little utility. Liquid Voice also makes for far more powerful sound-based Water moves on Primarina Shell Trap: i mean, it may catch your opponent off guard when they're not expecting it... but they're expecting it because you're using Turtonator Silk Trap: Spidops is the problem here Bone Club: currently playing through Pokemon Blue... and yeah, this move misses A LOT. and Cubone/Marowak aren't nearly fast enough to get those flinches Tar Shot: this one at least makes sense in Raid scenarios Purify: definitely needs reworked... at least allow Pyukumuku to recover even if their ally isn't status'd Kinesis: should either have better accuracy or lower opponent's accuracy AND evasion. May as well also make it a weak damage dealing move on top of that Triple Kick: like you said, it needs a slight BP boost, especially since Hitmontop has that Technician to power it up Chatter: i don't mind it due to confusion. But Chatot doesn't really have the stats to stand its ground even if we buff this move Freeze Shock/Ice Burn: should either have a greater chance of status like Beak Blast OR have an additional chance of causing freeze kinda like Tri Attack Dark Void: yeah let's just revert its accuracy to 80% now that Smeargle can't use it Topsy Turvy: yeah I got nothin' Fairy Lock: at least increase to 3 turns... let Klefki's influence be felt after it faints Shelter: due to its name, i thought it would also serve as a Protect variant... so maybe it should! Electrify: yeeeah i don't have a lot to say. It's already redundant as well as incredibly situational. Roar of Time: um... it's not sound-based?? I never knew that! Let's make it sound-based

    I think it's important to consider the original context of Shelter. In Scarlet and Violet, it's just Acid Armor with less PP, but in Legends Arceus, it provides Goodra with a boost to both Defense and Special Defense, Obscures it (temporarily raises its Evasiveness), and raises its action speed. All of this is... frankly fantastic for a single use of a move.

    I disagree with your ice type and rock type options. Tar shot isn't great, but it has utility by lowering accuracy and making them be hit harder by fire moves. To me, if you're going to say roar of time is terrible because it's a hyper beam variant, then Rock Wrecker from Rhyperior I feel is the choice. As for ice, I'd say Ice ball. I know it’s not exactly a signature move anymore based on your criteria, but still

    Rock wrecker isn't a bad choice. I think I didn't really look at it because it was a signature move for 1 generation and then Dweble/Crustle had access to it by level up since gen 5. Ice ball wasn't considered since a few lines had access via breeding in the same generation while others via level up a few generations later. Still a solid choice though if we are counting moves that were once "signature".

    I think Powder should be the worst bug move. It was signature to Vivillon (Cutiefly gets it now too) and what it does is, if the target uses a fire type move, it prevents the move from coming out and deals a monumental... 1/4 of the targets health. Talk about underwhelming. It's just so niche and not worth it.

    Triple Kick is actually pretty great when paired with Technician. The move hits 3 times with 10/20/30 base power, but Technician boosts that to 15/30/45. What you're left with is a Fighting-Type move with 80 base power, that is is boosted by STAB, AND bypasses Sturdy/Focus Sash/Substitute. Yes each strike has a 10% chance to miss, but if Hitmontop is holding a Wide Lens, then the accuracy for both Triple Kick AND Triple Axel becomes 99% for each strike. It's probably not the most optimal for competitive, but Triple Axel kicks ass in a casual playthrough. It pays for itself with the amount of Geodude you end up fighting lol

    That’s blowing Chatters impact out of the water pretty substantially😂 In retrospect, Beak Blast could probably go there. But what other signature flying type move would you put it over? Dragon Ascent, Aeroblast, Oblivion Wing, etc? Confusion isn’t the most reliable strategy, especially when you drop in one hit to anything decently strong. It does pitiful damage. No one is taunting a Chatot, it ain’t ever wearing AV, which is kind of a weird point to make. Bypassing sub is cool, Good as Gold kind of a moot point when does that ever come to play. Smeargle couldn’t learn it due to it’s recording effect when introduced. It’s not a bad move, I just had it below all the other great signature flying moves.

    P2 very, very rarely uses Conversion 2 in gen 3 to counter trap Dugtrio and Magneton. Dugtrio it can trap anyway with recover spam or ice beam, but conversion 2 can make it easier to come out at 100% health (also 2 crits can ruin your trap) and adds the potential to trap magneton which you normally can’t threaten, but can sit on certain sets forever as a ground type. I’ve seen a cursed set with Conversion 2/Flash to sit on and cripple Dug/Mag and allow trace Gardevoir to come in and set up on after…

    Tar shot is for switch reads. It leaves your opponents incoming mon in a position where even if they could have easily tanked a fire attack now they cant and if they stay in and kill your mon they have to face your next pokemon at a speed deficit putting them at tempo loss at best and leaving an opening for you to set up at worst. It’s not good but that’s what it’s for.
