Zekrom and Reshiram using Bolt Strike and Blue Flare, their signature moves

A signature move (Japanese: 専用技 exclusive move) is a move that can only be learned by a single Pokémon or its evolutionary relatives usually in the same evolutionary line. Most are learned by leveling up but some can be learned through other means when no Pokémon can learn the move by leveling up.

Note that any of the moves included in this classification (except for Chatter) can be learned by Smeargle using Sketch, making Sketch and Chatter the only moves that are truly exclusive to one Pokémon legitimately. Also, some of these moves can be passed down via breeding to other Pokémon or are known by certain event Pokémon.

One-off signature moves

Victini using Fusion Flare, Fusion Bolt, and V-create

This is a list of signature moves that at only one point, another Pokémon had the ability to acquire:


Other signature move examples

Dialga using its signature move, Roar of Time, in The Rise of Darkrai

TM/HM or Move Tutor that are exclusive by level-up

Moves commonly associated with certain Pokémon

  • Although Megahorn was no longer Heracross's signature move starting in Generation III, it was still the only Bug-type Pokémon that could learn the move prior to Generation V, where Megahorn is now learnable by Scolipede, Karrablast and Escavalier.
  • Lucario is usually associated with Aura Sphere and Force Palm, but ten Pokémon (including Lucario) can learn Aura Sphere in total plus two with Riolu from Almia and Raikou from Event, in addition to the Squirtle family through breeding. 10 Pokémon (including Lucario) can learn Force Palm. In Generation V and VI, Lucario and the Mienshao family are the only Fighting-type Pokémon to learn Aura Sphere by leveling up.
    • Lucario no longer learns Force Palm in Generation VI (although Riolu can still learn it).
  • Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise are often associated with Solar Beam, Flamethrower, and Hydro Pump, respectively, due to them frequently being depicted using those moves in various Pokémon media (such as the anime).
  • Electrode are most commonly seen using Explosion, with it being shown to use it most in the anime.
  • Although several Pokémon have been able to learn Sing since its introduction, the move has been heavily associated with Jigglypuff, potentially due to the anime's influence.
  • Jolteon and Vaporeon's signature moves are said to be Pin Missile and Acid Armor, respectively. Both abilities are alluded to in both Pokémon's various Pokédex entries. However, many Pokémon learn both moves by leveling up, and some through breeding. Likewise, Umbreon's Moonlight matches Espeon's Morning Sun, though others can learn it even in its introductory generation.
  • Suicune, being known as the Aurora Pokémon, is associated with the move Aurora Beam.
  • Although Clefairy can learn Meteor Mash by leveling up in any Generation III game, the only Pokémon that could have it legitimately before release of FireRed and LeafGreen were Metang and its evolved form, Metagross.
  • Ditto has Transform as its only move and is most associated with it; however, Mew is also able to learn it.
  • Until Generation III, Koffing and Weezing were the only Poison-type Pokémon capable of learning Smog, and are still the only Poison-type Pokémon to learn the move by level-up.
  • The move Razor Shell is tied to Oshawott's evolutionary line, although it can also be learned by Shellder.
  • Although Blaze Kick was no longer Blaziken's signature move from Generation III, it remains the only Fire-type Pokémon to learn it by level up.
  • The Venipede family are the only Pokémon besides Golem which can learn Steamroller. They are also the only Bug-type Pokémon to learn it.
  • Castform was the only Pokémon capable of learning Weather Ball prior to Generation IV. However, due to Shadow moves only being present in Generation III, it remains the only Pokémon capable of taking advantage of Weather Ball's ???-type effect during Shadow Sky.
  • Each of Rotom's forms has its own signature move that cannot be carried over to any of its other forms. However, none of these five moves are exclusive to it.
  • In Generation V, Sacred Sword was exclusively learned by the Swords of Justice, being a signature move of a Legendary group rather than an evolutionary family.
  • No Pokémon can learn V-create outside of event distributions. Victini was the first to gain access to it and is often associated with the move. However, later, a Rayquaza with V-create was available as the winner of a popularity poll held in Japan in 2011, making it no longer Victini's signature move.
