Every new generation added to Pokémon GO so far as also brought new moves. We expect the trend to continue into Generation 4. So what moves will Niantic add? We won't know for certain until hints of Generation 4 start appearing in the game's APK, but the following moves seem most likely:
CRUSH GRIP: A
MAGMA STORM: Magma Storm is a Fire-type attack that is exclusive to the Legendary Pokémon Heatran. In the main series games, Magma Storm is essentially a super-charged version of Fire Spin. This could mean that, should the move be added, it would be a very powerful Fast Attack. We could also see Niantic making a three-bar Charged Attack, similar to Leaf Blade and Dragon Claw.
WOOD HAMMER: A
HEART SWAP: A
LUNAR DANCE: Lunar Dance is, well... interesting. It's a move that is exclusive to the Legendary Pokémon Cresselia. Upon use, the user looses all of its HP and faints. When the next Pokémon is sent out, it is completely healed of any HP losses and status conditions.
Lunar Dance would definitely be a welcome addition. After all, Cresselia was designed to be an annoying wall that you could not break. Basically, Cresselia was the Blissey of the main series games. Since it's defensive nature won't carry over well into Pokémon GO, giving it the unique ability to heal your Pokémon in battle, especially in a Raid Battle, would be very useful.
ROCK WRECKER: Rock Wrecker is a powerful Rock-type attack that was introduced in Generation 4. Originally, it was exclusive to the powerful Rhyperior (Rhydon's evolution). It has since been made available to other Pokémon in the main series, but it would definelty make Rhyperior meta-relavent as a Rock-type attacker (as Groudon stole its Ground-type kingship).
ROAR OF TIME: Roar of Time is a very powerful Dragon-type attack that is exclusive to the Legendary Pokémon Dialga.
SPACIAL REND: A
SHADOW FORCE: A
JUDGMENT: Judgment is a move that is exclusive to the Mythical Pokémon Arceus. In the main series games, Arceus is able to change its type depending on what Plate or Z-Crystal it holds. Judgment's type will also change to match Arceus' type.
So how will Niantic handle this attack? The easiest way would be to lock it into the Normal-type. They have coded Weather Ball's multiple types, so they have set a precedent of
AURA SPHERE: A
FLARE BLITZ: A
SEED FLARE: Seed Flare is a Grass-type move that is exclusive to the Mythical Pokémon Shaymin. To this point, all Mythical Pokémon have had their signature moves added and assigned to them, so we're pretty confident that Seed Flare will be added.
DARK VOID: A
ROCK CLIMB: (Normal)
GIGA IMPACT: A
From here on, we move into the territory of moves that aren't necessarily related to Generation 4, but more other moves that we believe Niantic should add to the game. They are as follows:
LUSTER PURGE: Luster Purge is a Psychic-type attack that is exclusive to Latios
MIST BALL: A
DRAGON'S ASCENT: Dragon's Ascent is a Flying-type attack (yes, it's Flying, not Dragon, despite having "Dragon" in the name) that is only learnable by Rayquaza.
SACRED FIRE: Sacred Fire is a move that's only learnable by Ho-Oh and Entei. In the event it gets added as a Fast Attack, this could finally make Ho-Oh relevant as a Fire-type attacker. The move might also allow Entei to keep its place among the Fire-type lords should Charizard displace it with its yet-to-be-revealed exclusive move for May's Community Day.
AEROBLAST: A
PSYSTRIKE: A
VOLT TACKLE: A
A QUICK NOTE ABOUT EXCLUSIVE MOVES: Before you go, we want to make a quick note about signature / exclusive moves. Niantic has not been keen on adding them. They have given Jirachi, Ditto, Marowak, Delibird, and Deoxys their signature moves. They also programmed Groudon's Precipice Blades and Kyogre's Origin Pulse, but never gave them the moves.
