User:Meeper12346/Edit An event move is a special move exclusively obtained via event distribution. Event moves can either be entirely unobtainable outside of event distributions, or unobtainable on a specific Pokémon outside of event distributions. Certain moves lose their event exclusive status and become readily available in a later generation, such as V-create. Unless stated otherwise, all of the following moves can also be learned by Smeargle via Sketch.
