Ice Punch
Paleo Wave
Sucker Punch

Sucker Punch lets it kill Gengar without creating a speed tie, which was the whole point of the base stat spread, so Sucker Punch is out. Ice Punch is basically the same as Ice Beam, which we already gave it just weaker, so I see no reason to not give it Ice Punch. Paleo Wave is another CaP's signature move; we can't give it that.

Ice Punch
Paleo Wave
Sucker Punch

Sucker Punch is situational with Voodoom's high speed, only useful for Starmie and Scarfers. I see no reason not to include it. The argument against Gengar falls apart since Gengar almost always has HP Fire and if it doesn't, Scizor will take advantage of it until that changes.

Ice Punch doesn't really do much for me but I think it would be nice, without Ice Beam, for some essential, albeit situational, coverage.

No to Paleo Wave as with the STAB moves, Paleo Wave and possible Nasty Passing just screams overkill.
