Keep in mind that there are already a handful of moves in the game code that have been there for a while and no Pokemon have access to. This is likely just Niantic setting the stage for future updates, events, and generation releases; but it’s still exciting to speculate about how these abilities might impact the future Pokemon GO metagame.
The list spans many different move types and, once implemented, could go a long way to introducing some more variety to both the PvP and PvE meta game by making currently low tier Pokemon a lot more appealing.
Possible New Moves
Super Power - FIGHTING
Earth Power - GROUND
Leech Life - BUG
Drain Punch - FIGHTING
Skull Bash - NORMAL
Crabhammer - WATER
Lunge - BUG
Crush Claw - NORMAL
Octazooka - WATER
Mirror Shot - STEEL
Fell Stinger - BUG
Shadow Bone - GHOST
Razor Shell - WATER
Muddy Water - WATER
Blaze Kick - FIRE
At this point, Niantic has not confirmed when any of these moves will actually become available in Pokemon GO. Despite that, number crunchers are already hard at work deciding how impactful these moves would be for borderline creatures like Nidoqueen, Kabutops, Zangoose, and many others.
