Pikachu
|
DoubleSlap
|
1019Mewtwo Strikes Back
|
While demanding Ash's Pikachu fight him, Pikachutwo repeatedly slaps Pikachu's face, while alternating from his right hand to his left. This savage barrage of physical strikes resembles DoubleSlap, a move which, although Ash's Pikachu does not know, Pikachu can legitimately know through breeding from Generation II onwards.

Tentacool
|
|
1019Tentacool & Tentacruel
|
Multiple Tentacool are seen using an unidentified red beam attack. Tentacool's Pokédex entries state that it absorbs sunlight and converts it into beam energy, similar to SolarBeam. However, not only does this attack bear no resemblance to SolarBeam, Tentacool has never been able to learn this move. In fact, the only Beam moves Tentacool can learn are BubbleBeam, Ice Beam and Aurora Beam*, none of which resemble this attack.

Haunter
|
Leer
|
1023The Tower of Terror
|
When Ash has his Charmander use Leer against a Haunter, it appears to use the same move back at Charmander. However, Haunter has not been able to learn Leer in any Generation. It is possible that Haunter was simply countering Charmander's Leer.

Ash's Bulbasaur
|
Lick and Tickle
|
1050Who Gets to Keep Togepi?
|
Ash has Bulbasaur "lick" Psyduck's head and use its "tickle attack" with its vines. This is not to be confused with the actual moves Lick and Tickle, the latter of which was introduced in Generation III. Bulbasaur cannot learn either move.

Ralph's Tony
|
Bite
|
1100Wherefore Art Thou, Pokémon?
|
Tony bites down on Jessie's Arbok, who is constricting it. However, Ralph does not order an attack, he simply uses its sharp teeth to free himself and Maria from Arbok's grip. This move resembles Bite but Nidoran♂ cannot learn this move.

Meowth of Team Rocket
|
Tickle
|
1104Bound for Trouble
|
Pikachu and TRMeowth ([[{{{2}}} (move)|{{{2}}}]]) fight against a giant Rhydon. When Meowth jumps on Rhydon's back, he states that he should try a Tickle attack. However, Meowth cannot learn Tickle in any generation yet, and Tickle was not introduced until Generation III.

Lugia
|
|
1104.5The Power of One
|
Lugia uses an unidentified Psychic-type attack to break free of ice. The only Psychic-type attacks Lugia could learn when it eventually appeared in Gold and Silver are Dream Eater and Future Sight, which this move is unlikely to be, and Psychic, though the anime version of Psychic usually involves controlling an opponent. It is possible that Lugia is using Recover, a move Lugia can learn, and instead smashing the ice physically.

Entei
|
Hypnosis
|
1155.5Spell of the Unown
|
Entei hypnotises Delia in Spell of the Unown. However, Entei is unable to learn Hypnosis. This could be due to the fact that this Entei was merely an illusion, not a real Pokémon.
