There are many moves that have appeared in the anime, manga, and TCG that have not appeared in the games:

Pikachu and Swellow using Thunder Armor
Thunder Armor: Pikachu uses Thunder on itself and Swellow. This improvised technique increased both Pikachu and Swellow's Speed and Attack, and were able to subdue their opponents with relative ease afterwards.
