Still only have a set number of moves they'll teach. We're not 100% sure how it works, but if ants will only teach Punch up to 3, you're not going to get the 4th or 5th out of them. Ants have a very low rate of teaching, anyway. Better to get a bit extra AGI and UA and work on bats and better, even if you have to cheese them at cave entrances or burrows.
don't forget people can teach each other combat moves using
Combat Instructions.
