I seem to have it in my head that a creature with natural weapons can move and still use all of them. How did I come to this conclusion? I think I must have encountered it somewhere, maybe it was a house rule from an old GM.
Is this actually a rule or am I dumb?
They probably had pounce:
Pounce: When a creature with this special attack makes a charge, it can make a full attack (including rake attacks if the creature also has the rake ability).
Format: pounce; Location: Special Attacks.

True, pounce does fit here, since it tends to be on various animal like creatures (tigers and other cats for example, as well as velociraptors) that would also likely rely upon natural attacks.
There are also a few creatures who have specific abilities allowing them to use multiple natural attacks of a certain type as a standard action (manticore, for instance). If your old GM didn't use a houserule, your conclusion may have come from remembering an encounter with a creature like that.
It must have been a house rule, and one that I ingrained into my core game knowledge. I have specific memories of skeletons moving and then getting 2 claw attacks.

Yeah, that does sound like a houserule, or possibly a mistake thinking that the claws were one attack.
Or maybe Are is right, and this wasn't a universal rule or mistake, and it was a "it just can" kind of ability for the skeleton.
