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.

Available via TM95; however, this TM was only made obtainable via the Lock Capsule in Pokémon Black and White, which was never distributed. Only ever made legitimately obtainable prior to the release of Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 through various Zoroark events, which can then breed Snarl down onto any Pokémon that would otherwise learn the move via TM and was either in the Field egg group or could obtain it through chain breeding. No longer event exclusive as of Pokémon Black 2 and White 2.

List of event exclusive Pokémon and move combinations
Generation I
Any of these Pokémon can be traded to the Generation II games via the Time Capsule, but as they were never distributed for the Virtual Console releases of Generation I, they cannot be brought to Generation VII via Poké Transporter.
Generation II
Any Pokémon in the Kanto Pokédex with an event move that was available in Generation I can be traded to the Generation I games via the Time Capsule. Unless stated otherwise, these events were never distributed for the Virtual Console releases of Generation II, and as such they cannot be brought to Generation VII via Poké Transporter.

In the Japanese version of Pokémon Crystal, players could obtain an Egg Ticket from the Pokémon Day Care on Route 34 after downloading an event via the Mobile System GB and exchange it for the Odd Egg, which would hatch into one of the 7 Baby Pokémon, all knowing the exclusive move Dizzy Punch. In international versions of Pokémon Crystal, the Odd Egg is instead given to the player by the Day-Care Man without the need for the Egg Ticket. This includes the Virtual Console release of Pokémon Crystal; however, Pokémon hatched from these Eggs cannot be transferred to Generation VII via Poké Transporter until Dizzy Punch is forgotten. A Sentret and Marill that know Dizzy Punch, in addition to two of the Odd Egg Pokémon, being Pichu and Elekid, were also distributed for both Pokémon Gold and Silver as well as Pokémon Crystal at the Pokémon Center New York in the United States. Hitmonchan can learn Dizzy Punch in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!.
