List of glitch moves
From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.

This is a list of all glitch moves found in Generation I games, most especially Pokémon Red and Green, Pokémon Blue, and Pokémon Red and Blue.
Many of these moves share names with normal, non-glitch things, such as TMs, Trainer classes, etc. Their types can be abnormal as well, as, just like their names, they access alternate, non-type data. Almost all of the them have extremely low accuracy, making them difficult to perform. Some are completely ineffective, while some may crash the game. Only very few have both relatively high accuracy and a regular effect.
Some trade evolution Pokémon can learn glitch moves by being traded to GSC, where they will learn a GSC exclusive move if at a specific level, when they can be traded back without the Time capsule check for new moves, and the GSC exclusive move will become a glitch move in Generation one. The Pokémon which this applies to are Golem, Gengar, Machamp and Alakazam.
