== Mythology ==
It's probably based on the alchemical lion. (http://atlanteangardens.blogspot.com/2014/06/alchemy-green-lion-devouring-sun.html) In alchemical mysticism the lion devouring the sun is symbolism for extracting gold by melting away impurities with acidic substances. {{unsigned|Zeta}}

== Page protection and awful writing ==

Why is this page protected? What's the point of having a wiki if people can't edit it? The community is not large enough (as Wikipedia's is) to justify only letting admins edit a page, especially when the admins have such a terrible grasp of language. For example, "It may also involve Galileo, an ancient astronomer who believe the Earth rotated around the sun." Firstly, it was slightly better before [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Solgaleo_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&type=revision&diff=2452876&oldid=2452708 this edit] (although the other changes in that edit were good). ''Incorporate'' is a much better word to use than ''involve''. Secondly, there is an obvious grammatical error in the sentence. And thirdly, Galileo didn't "believe" the Earth rotated around the Sun (which should start with a capital in that context); he ''knew'' the Earth rotated around the Sun. He worked it out using science. It's a fact and therefore is not a belief. Can someone please either make these changes or unprotect the page so that others can edit (which is the entire point of a wiki)?

:It is fully protected to prevent users from adding speculation and other unconfirmed information. It is standard procedure when a new Pokémon is released.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:28, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
::Actually, I think the reference to heliocentrism should be removed altogether. After all, it was Copernicus's theory first (and Aristarchus's idea long before that). Galileo just supported and defended it from criticism; he didn't really contribute to it. His relation to the Sun was really just his studies on sunspots. It could, however, be phrased "...{{wp|Galileo}}, a famous astronomer who studied the Sun." -- [[User:Kianglo|KiANGLO]] [[User talk:Kianglo|TALK]] 06:53, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
:::There's nothing particularly wrong about the sentence as currently phrased. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 07:08, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
::::Ah, I hadn't noticed that the sentence referencing Galileo had been changed since yesterday. That's my bad. But yeah, I agree, what's on there now seems totally fine to me as well. -- [[User:Kianglo|KiANGLO]] [[User talk:Kianglo|TALK]] 07:15, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

== Beast that devours the sun ==

The "beast that devours the sun" line is very, very obviously a reference to alchemy's green lion. Can we add that as a source of inspiration, or is it too based in speculation? [[User:Pacack| '''Pa'''ᗧ•••ᗣ'''ck''' ]] 05:43, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
:Considering its steel typing and obvious sun and lion motifs, I'd have to agree honestly. It's pretty heavily obvious that it is based on the alchemy green lion, to at least a certain extent. - [[User:050294|050294]] ([[User talk:050294|talk]]) 16:45, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
:Indeed, considering AZ/Project Azoth, the fact that the project was codenamed Pokemon Rainbow (rainbows were a guide in alchemical processes) and the symbol on Litten's forehead - its obvious someone on the creative team at GameFreak is drawing inspiration from alchemical mysticism. --[[User:Zeta|Zeta]] ([[User talk:Zeta|talk]]) 14:30, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

== Sun weak to Fire? ==

Is it worth mentioning in the trivia section that despite being based off of the sun, Solgaleo has a weakness to Fire-type moves? --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 18:34, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
:Same as Lunala, I'd say no. It's not notable enough in the slightest to be trivia. And technically there's no reason a Sun-based Pokémon can't be weak to fire. If this was an undersea Pokémon that was weak to water, maybe, but definitely not this. -- [[User:Kianglo|KiANGLO]] [[User talk:Kianglo|TALK]] 02:57, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
::It's not "based off the sun" though, it is based on the metaphorical imagery representing the purification of gold in alchemy, and it is the sun's emissary not the embodiment of the sun itself. Furthermore, the sun itself doesn't work that way. The sun isn't burning, there's no fire in or on the sun. It is a nuclear fusion reaction, not a burning object. While it may be slightly counter-intuitive for Solgaleo to be weak to fire, it is in no way as strange as people keep making out.[[User:Me, Hurray!|Me, Hurray!]] ([[User talk:Me, Hurray!|talk]]) 23:34, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
:::(To Kianglo) Since we don't talk about [[Stunfisk]], I would say not even that would count as trivia. --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 03:20, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
:::(To Me, Hurray!) Considering how some programs have the sun(light) boost fire-based techniques, not to mention the actual move called Sunny Day and sunny weather in general, I can easily see why it would come off as strange. --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 03:20, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
::::Again, it is "''the beast that '''devours''' the sun'', and its the emissary of the sun, not the literal embodiment of the sun.[[User:Animaltamer7|Animaltamer7]]11:02, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
:::::Not really sure if you are referring to me or another user due to the comments being rearranged due to a misunderstanding, but here goes. If it is my comment, then you should disregard the Me, Hurray portion and note that my comment is saying that it can be considered strange to other users.

==error on the page==
The French name for the radiant sun phase is "Phase Soleil Levant" as announced on the officail french site for sun and moon{{unsigned|Hades}}

== Error ==

"Along with {{p|Lunala}}, it was initially revealed in May 2016, but officially revealed on June 2, 2016." This sentence in the opening states that Solgaleo was revealed twice. Is that what it is supposed to say, or is it an error? [[User:Litwick96|Litwick]][[User Talk:Litwick96|96]] 13:35, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
:Because the first "reveal" was just Solgaleo and Lunala appearing in a promotional video for Sun and Moon, but their names were not given. The boxart for the games was also revealed at that time, which depicted Solgaleo and Lunala clearly. It wasn't until June that they were given names, though, so that's really the "official" reveal. Nevertheless, this absolutely should be reworded, because the way it's written makes no sense. — [[User:Kianglo|KiANGLO]] [[User talk:Kianglo|TALK]] 03:22, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

== Unevolved? ==
we can't for sure say the denjimushi is unevolved, that is never confirmed in the release. DSDark 13:20, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
:It's a side effect of the template, I believe. Not much to do about that with editing the template, which probably isn't necessary just for this one thing. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 13:24, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

:Not to mention that looks awfully like an evolution of Grubbin, though of course that's also unconfirmed. [[User:Betawolf33|Betawolf33]] ([[User talk:Betawolf33|talk]])
::Right the problem is we don't know if for sure that denjimushi is unevolved. The template should be hidden for the time being until we have confirmation that grubbin evolves into Charjabug {{unsigned|DSDark}}
:::It has been hidden. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 13:40, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
Based off of it's name and Grubbin's Pokedex entry, it's a pretty safe call. [[User:Mettie7|Mettie7]] ([[User talk:Mettie7|talk]]) 19:11, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

== Denjimushi = Denkimushi ==

It seems like Denjimushi is based off of the Japanese Electric Caterpillar, the Denkimushi. Its name could be derived from the word for battery and Denkimushi. [[User:Arceusrox|Arceusrox]] ([[User talk:Arceusrox|talk]]) 21:34, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

In Gen. III, only Charizard, Venusaur and Blastoise could learn [[Blast Burn]], [[Frenzy Plant]] and [[Hydro Cannon]], respectively. The Johto starters could learn it too, but only by being traded from XD (just like [[Lugia]] and [[Psycho Boost]]).

== About evolved forms ==

Should stone-induced evolved forms be listed? {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Raichu}} appear in the article. However, the species that actually learns {{m|Volt Tackle}} is {{p|Pichu}} (making the [[Pokémon Battle Revolution#Colosseums|Battle Revolution Pikachu]] a [[Signature move#Trivia|trivia section]] material). If Raichu can appear in the list, then {{p|Togekiss}} and {{p|Mismagius}} should, too. --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 20:36, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
:No, I think that only the Pokémon that learns the move should be listed. So Pichu should be listed, but it's evolutions shouldn't. Only if the evolution learns the move then they an be listed. So both Cubone and Marowak learn Bonemerang, therefore both should be listed. [[User:Tesh|'''TESH''']][[User Talk:Tesh|'''TALK''']] 15:57, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

==Splash?==

Would [[Splash (move)|Splash]] be eligible for inclusion here? A bunch of Pokémon can learn the move nowadays, but back in Generation I it was very much [[Magikarp (Pokémon)|Magikarp]]'s trademark. A similar case is already included on the list (Petal Dance, which was exclusive to the Oddish line in Generation I). [[User:Bikini Miltank|Bikini Miltank]] 08:48, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

:You're right, according to the current status of the article. But I think that kind of moves shouldn't appear in the list. IMO, in any case, [[Generation III]] stuff is the only past generation that should be mentioned, as it's compatible with [[Generation IV]], but I still don't like the idea.
:I take it this all started with the ExtremeSpeed Dratini from the trivia section, right? Well, that Dratini is obsolete, too. I propose we get rid of ExtremeSpeed Dratini and there won't be need for the ExtremeSpeed Arcanine and the other obsolete groups. --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 16:18, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

NO! Lol, we should split this article into each Generation, with a trivia section for Pokémon that do not learn a move naturally. Like Dratini in GenII. I think this would be better. <big>[[User:Tesh|'''TESH''']][[User Talk:Tesh|'''TALK''']] [[User:Tesh/Other|'''FUN''']]</big> 16:20, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

:Yeah... one of the things I was going to suggest was listing the likes of Splash, ExtremeSpeed and so on in a seperate table, for moves that were once exclusive to a single line, but aren't anymore. I think these moves are certainly worth mentioning somewhere in the article, as they might still be relevant to someone who's playing any of the older games.

Since Mathis seems to have decided to take a chainsaw to the list, I have to ask: How big is a "small group" of Pokémon? [[User:Cassius335|- Cassius335]] 12:24, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

== Staryu ==

In Generation III, [[Staryu]] was the only Pokemon who could learn [[Camouflage (move)|Camouflage]]. [[Mothim]] can now learn it in Gen IV. Nevertheless, I would assume that Staryu would count as a Pokémon with a signature move before Gen IV. -[[User:TIMMY|TIMMY]]

== Cleanup ==

This article NEEDS some cleanup... some signature moves don't make sense and some are in a lot of pokemon, so they should be removed. I think if a pokemon prior to Gen IV now learns a GEN IV move, it shouldn't be mentioned, 'cause it's obvious that another pokemon will learn the same move (for example Relicanth that learns [[Head Smash (move)|Cranidos' signature]]. in that case Relicanth should be removed). If someone doesn't agree with me, then just undo it. '''[[User:Hfc2x|hfc]][[User talk:Hfc2x|2X]]''' 00:47, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

==This page is in need of SERIOUS clean-up.==

Some moves are counted as signature when they're limited to one Pokémon. Some are counted when they're limited to two Pokémon. Some three Pokémon. Where's the limit? I think two families should be the most.(Branched families are fine.) I'd prefer only one family, but I'll accept anything, just agree on something.

Some moves are counted as "signature" if they're limited to one(or a few) Pokémon NATURALLY...other moves are counted if they're limited OVERALL. I think that TMs/HMs/tutors/"bonus" moves should not matter, Waterfall is still Goldeen and Seaking's signature move. I'd accept the other way too, but it needs to be CONSISTENT.

Not to mention a few of the asterisks are wrong...and some without asterisks could use some. Or it could be split to generations, but I think asterisks work just fine.

The Pikachu that knows Volt Tackle doesn't need to be in the one-off section. Yes, it's only Pichu's signature move...but Pikachus can normally learn it by evolving from Pichu! Pikachu shouldn't be in the table, that is correct, but it doesn't need to be in the one-off either. That should be for examples that COULD NOT happen otherwise, like the Dratini with ExtremeSpeed.[[User:Flint A|Flint A]] 20:09, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
:My opinion is that if a move can be learned by any or all of the Pokémon of '''one''' family naturally or by TM, it is a signature move. If a move is shared with an other family or it is a TM that can be used or a move tutor move that can be taught on more than the family in question, it is not a signature move. Event Pokémon are obviously excluded.

==GrassWhistle==

==Removing moves==

Before I edit the actual page, I want to see if everyone agrees to this.

I was thinking of removing the following moves since they're "Signature" titles are questionable:

-----------------------
-{{m|Petal Dance}}

-{{m|Crush Claw}}

-{{m|Splash}}

-{{m|Super Fang}}

-{{m|Beat Up}}

-{{m|Pain Split}}

-{{m|FeatherDance}}

-{{m|Assist}}

-{{m|ExtremeSpeed}}

-{{m|Weather Ball}}

-{{m|Extrasensory}}

-{{m|Megahorn}}

-{{m|Waterfall}}

-{{m|Leaf Blade}}
--------------------------

Yes yes, I know that's quite a lot of moves to pick out. But let's be honest, These moves are a little too common to be "Signature" thanks to other Pokémon showing up or Pokémon learning said moves via Breeding, Level up, Move tutor, TM/HM etc.

If you don't agree with this, I'll ignore this. Or if you want only a specific move or two gone, I'll only get rid of those instead.- ''unsigned comment from {{u|Ninterror}} ([[User talk:Ninterror|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Ninterror|contribs]]) ''

Many of those moves are already noted as being signature moves prior to a Generation, as the person above said. However, Beat Up, Crush Claw, Pain Split, Feather Dance, Assist and Extrasensory, are different. They're signature moves in that only a select few Pokémon learn ''by level up'', but can be taught in other ways. In the "Other signature move examples" section, such things are noted, where a move is learned by more than one Pokémon but only by one by level up. I say we move the mentioned moves to a whole new section for "Level Up Signature Moves", where we list the signature moves if we go by moves learned through level and not by tutor or TM or breeding.

== Overhaul ==

Alright, I went for it and changed the main body to only refer to Generation IV signature moves. The list of former signature moves near the bottom might be better as some sort of table, but I'm not good at making tables and it wouldn't be like just copying the first table, as we'd need "unsignature" dates. Also, that list should not be considered comprehensive; it's just the ones that were there already plus the ones from the old list. There might be some missing.

The only controversial change I think is that I specifically limited signature moves to one evolutionary family only, but I seem to see quite a bit of support for that on the talk page and I feel it's the only sensible decision myself.

There wasn't a note at the bottom saying what the asterisk was for, but rather one of those things you highlight (dunno what that's called). We should at least have a note in addition to it.

== "prior to gen ..." signature moves ==

If, according to te article, Signature moves are by definition only learned by either a single Pokémon or a small group of Pokémon, then a lot of the moves listed that say they were signature moves prior to a certain generation were still signature moves, (in cases such as extemespeed, for at least until the generation after) as the definition in no way implies that the pokémon that can learn it have to be related by evolution it just states either that the move can be learned only as a level up move and even then, only by a small number of Pokémon or that the move can only be learned by level up by a small number of pokémon (in which case almost all, if not all are still signature moves). because even though the way the definition is phrased it can be rephrased either way it most certainly can't be rephrased both ways because they are different from meanings from eachother but are synonyms to different definitions of the phrase that defines signature moves. [[User:Juarmo|Juarmo]] 05:07, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

==Ultimate Starter Type Moves==
techinically, the elemental hyper beams would be no less signature moves of the gen 1 starter evolutions in gen 3 than deoxys and its psycho boost (as purified shadow Lugia knew it). In fact, probably less of one as you catch the Lugia but you recieve the XD Jhoto starters from an event (albeit an in game one but still) also if Oddish and Glooms signature that ceased to be a signature by Gen 2 is on the list shouldn't arcanine and his extremespeed be on the list too. if i remember correctly dragon's den dratini didn't count towards extremespeed not still being arcanine's signature move in gen 2 so why should the XD Jhoto starters they're both in game events.

== Another idea ==

I had an idea for a new column. I would like to mention what kind of signature move they are.
*Exclusive means: Only available to the poke himself, or the evolutionary line of that poke.
*Limited means: A few other pokes can learn it as well by leveling up or by breeding.
*LU exclusive means: The move is exclusive to a certain poke line by leveling up, but several other pokes can learn it by breading or tutoring.
*Common means: The move is now available to a plenty of pokes. Only mentioned if the move used to be exclusive.
*N/A means: it didn't exist that gen.

== Victini ==

for the 14th Movie it was said that an event Victini would be given out have the move V-Generate and Ball of Fire, as V-Generate is currently a move only an event Victini can know, should it be put in the 'one-off signature moves' section? [[User:Azure42|Azure42]] 15:38, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

== My definition of 'Signature Move' ==

I say the definition should be "A move that a Pokémon is best known for." As a result, this means that a move that is common can be the signature move of another Pokémon (for example, Rollout can be learned by several different kinds of Pokémon, but Geodude's evolutionary family may have it as their signature move, because Graveler is said to use it often down mountains in Firered's description of it). Another example is Psycho Cut - Gallade would most likely have the attack as its signature move had this description of signature move been used. --[[User:Psyblade|Psyblade]] 18:43, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

:I think it's a very good point, however, Pokédex entries sometimes state misleading facts, such as Dusclops learning {{m|Hypnosis}}, which it actually can't. So, although a good definition of "signature move", I don't think it's good enough to point Pokédex entries in the article.

== Current definition is SERIOUSLY flawed! ==

The current definition of signature move here is '''seriously''' flawed. The definition should be the move the Pokémon is most known for, not any random move that is exclusive to it. While at times moves that a Pokémon is most known for may also be exclusive to it (such as Smeargle's Sketch), that is not always the case. For example, even though Charizard was the only Pokémon able to learn Blast Burn prior to XD, Charizard is never shown using it in any Pokémon media; usually Charizard is shown using Flamethrower, and in the anime, Seismic Toss. Furthermore, Charizard is a Gen I Pokémon, and it is absurd to say that a Gen III move is its signature move, considering Charizard predates Gen III.

I really think the definition should be corrected here. [[User:Andros 1337|Andros 1337]] 00:05, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
:I don't think it's flawed at all. A signature move exclusive to that Pokémon. Meaning that the move can only be learned by that Pokémon. While Rollout is well know for a Miltank for example that doesn't make it a signature move. Sketch is a signature move because only one Pokémon can learn it and that is Smergle. This was discussed before. [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 00:09, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

:Random move? How is it a random move when it's '''a move that can only be learned by a single Pokémon or its family'''? Just because a certain move is showed off more by a certain Pokémon does not mean it's its signature. Signature refers to a Pokémon's exclusive move which means it can only be learned by a certain Pokémon or at a certain time.

:Your definition seems to be judged by what you have seen in the anime which is biased to all other media. All things should relate to the game which are used universally. Might as well say BubbleBeam is Piplup's signature move and Thunderbolt is Pikachu's. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 00:18, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
::What about Ditto's Transform, which is obviously Ditto's signature move because it is Ditto's ONLY move, despite the fact that Mew can learn Transform as well? The fact is, Charizard is never shown using Blast Burn in the anime or any other Pokémon media besides the main games. Also, consider that Blast Burn is a tutored move, not a level-up move.

:::Leveling up has nothing to do with it. Volt Tackle is an egg move that is bred on to Pichu. There's also Meloetta who can only learn its signature move through tutoring. And again, the amount of times the move is shown in the anime has nothing to do with it. In the defense of Transform, Mew has the capability of learning every move through the move tutor in XD from Generation III and below. Though I'll give you that Mew can learn that one by level up.

I'm REALLY liking the new template, but I think it could use a little more organization.

== V-create still a signature move? ==
Now that {{p|Rayquaza}} knows {{m|V-create}} via event (the same way that Victini learns it), is V-create still Victini's signature move, is it both Victini's and Rayquaza's, or is it not a signature move at all? Personally, I'd remove it from the list for now, since now it's a one-off move for both Victini ''and'' Rayquaza. --[[User:Darthrai|Darthrai]] 19:35, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

:You make a lot of sense, and I'd certainly wait for more people to weigh in. However, I think that the name of V-Create certainly points it to it being a signature move of Victini, since many things about Victini are closely associated with the letter ''V''. There isn't really a set standard to which we can hold a "signature move," so I think claiming its status as "debatable" is appropriate. --[[User:Politoed666|''P'' ''o'']] [[User talk:Politoed666|''L'' ''i'']] 20:27, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

::There's a bunch a moves on the list that are like that. Why change it now? Personally, I don't think we should change the status of a signature move just because of an event.

Rayquaza cannot normally get that move and unless it is normal, then we shouldn't worry about it. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 00:22, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

::: Agreed - V-create was made for Victini (and I think that I made that clear on the page), but neither Victini nor Rayquaza can learn it through normal gameplay (both of them learn it via event). As for it being a signature move because it was made for Victini, I think {{m|Megahorn}} presents a similar case (though not to the same degree). It was made for {{p|Heracross}} in Generation II (why else would a generic horn attack be Bug-type?) until they made all sorts of other Pokémon, both old and new, able to learn it in future generations. Now, V-create is much more "characteristic" of Victini and probably won't become a widespread move, but having aesthetics and themes associated with a certain Pokémon doesn't seem like a criterion for being a signature move at the moment according to the page's description (we can always change it though).

:::: I personally don't feel it applies to what the meaning of signature move is as it says it can be learned by level up '''or other means'''. Think of it this way. If Relic Song is given by event to another Pokémon, say Cresselia, does that mean it's not Meloetta's signature move anymore because it doesn't learn it by level up even though that's what changes its form? Some common sense should be used in these instead of following the definition so strictly.

However, if Cresselia got the move via event, I'd still personally consider it Meloetta's signature move, since Meloetta obtains it on ''more'' favorable terms. Right now, Victini and Rayquaza both know V-create on ''equally'' favorable terms (a one-off move for both Pokémon); however, you're right that we should consider if the Pokémon has an obvious connection to the move, so we should make that clear.

To keep the definition firm, we cannot consider it to be Victini's signature move unless it learns it via a method other than event, like how we didn't consider it Victini's signature move until it was distributed with it. So what should happen is this; V-create should not be listed as a signature move of Victini, but it should most certainly be listed under "Other signature move examples". --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 14:54, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
Can I suggest that, perhaps, V-Create isn't a Signature Move, so much as an Event Move? It's a move that cannot be known by any pokemon except perhaps via an Event, at least at a certain point. Another example would be Volt Tackle, which, until the release of Pokemon Emerald, couldn't be learned by any pokemon, or Kinesis, which couldn't be learned by any pokemon until Pokemon Yellow. Note that an "Event Move" wouldn't necessarily have been released via Event, it's just that, without an event, it would be unavailable up to a certain time (this could include moves only found as egg moves up to a certain point, if any exist). And on a side note, if a pokemon uses Metronome, and then Smeargle Sketches it, will it learn Metronome, or the resulting move? I ask because, if Smeargle sketches the metronomed move, then it would be possible for it to sketch Volt Tackle in RS/FRLG, or V-Create in DP. [[User:Aielyn|Aielyn]] 15:19, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
:Another example of an Event move is a little more literal than the others - Snarl. At this time, it is only available through obtaining an Event Zoroark, and then breeding it to other pokemon from there.

:Those are more "delayed release moves" than "event" moves. And I don't think it is really that relevant (by your definition, {{m|Kinesis}} is both a signature move and an "event move").

::Isn't "delayed release" just another word for "event", in this context? After all, you can catch Mew in Emerald, but you can't do so until a delayed release event. When Ruby/Sapphire were released, one couldn't legitimately get Volt Tackle. Not knowing how they'd give you access to the move, wouldn't it be reasonable to consider it an event-exclusive move? That the "event" ended up being "the release of Emerald" is irrelevant to this point. And yes, Kinesis would be both an event move and a signature move - nothing wrong with that. It was an event move in Red/Blue, and then a signature move after that. Volt Tackle was an event move in RS/FRLG, and a signature move after that. V-Create is currently an event move. It may happen that, with the "third version" release, Victini will be able to learn V-Create by move tutor or level up, in which case it would be a signature move. Until the move can be "learned", it really can't be called a signature move. It is ''speculated'' that the move was made for Victini, but it's only speculation, it hasn't been confirmed. It's entirely possible that, come the next pokemon game, it will be Rayquaza that learns it naturally, and not Victini... would that make it a Rayquaza signature move? [[User:Aielyn|Aielyn]] 04:37, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
:::The reason I used "delayed release" over "event" is because event specifically refers to things only available via event distributions, which is not true of things like Kinesis and Volt Tackle. It is unreasonable to assume a move is an event move if it has not been released yet—those are "unreleased moves" ({{m|Sacred Sword}} and {{m|Relic Song}} of course are exceptions due to being triggered by events, and {{m|Snarl}} was as well before it was available due to the event TM). However, I'm not really sure how this "event move" argument is relevant here anyway. And Mew in Emerald is still event-exclusive. However, I agree with you that it is not currently a signature move, and that it may become one again in the next game. Also, I highly doubt Rayquaza will learn it outside of events if Victini doesn't—however, it is possible that if there is a move tutor, they would both be able to learn it. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:03, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
::::The relevance is that it gives an argument towards ''not'' including V-Create on this page. Indeed, I'd argue that, even prior to the event Rayquaza, it was not a Signature Move, because the move was only available through an event, and thus couldn't be reliably associated with Victini, even if Victini was the only one that had gotten it. Let me give you a hypothetical analogy. Suppose that, during Gen III, an event occurred for FRLG, where you got a Voltorb that knows Volt Tackle. Would that make Volt Tackle a Voltorb signature move? I mean, it has "Volt" in it, and only Voltorb would have it. I'd argue that, until the move is part of a pokemon's available moveset without an event, it cannot be a signature move. [[User:Aielyn|Aielyn]] 11:09, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

I'm sorry fellas but V-create actually is Victini's signature move!! Just not in Japan, because in that country Rayquaza can learn it.

==I'm sorry...==
...but your definition of "signature move" is seriously flawed. Any definition of the term that doesn't allow Transform and Moonlight to be categorized as Ditto and Umbreon's respective signature moves is just wrong. So what if there were few other Pokémon who learned it in the generation it was introduced on? We're too worried about following rules and guidelines to the point that we're sacrificing common sense. Everyone considers Transform to Ditto's signature move despite Mew (who is only a event Pokémon and thus didn't even exist for the average player back in the Gen I days) learning it, too. And considering that Espeon's signature move is Morning Sun, it's obvious that the developers intended Moonlight to be considered the signature move of his counterpart, Umbreon. - [[User:Ericss|Ericss]] 17:53, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
:I can see Ditto being an exception. But Umbereon and Moonlight? I never once thought of it being a signature move for Umbreon. And they only reason we consider it a signature for Espeon in Gen II is because it was the only Pokémon that could learn it.

:Anyway, please look a few sections up to see the definition of "signature". It means ''distinctive''. It's not distinctive when other Pokémon can learn it too. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 05:44, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

== Signature Move recovery ==

Ok, "Also, some of these moves can be passed down via breeding to other Pokémon or are known by certain event Pokémon." Well how about Signature Move recovery? Sometimes there's only one Pokémon able to learn a move in that generation: Skarmory and Steel Wing for exemple, but because many Pokémon can learn it in a previous generation it isn't a Signature Move. This means that if TM 47 hadn't existed in gen 3 and 4 but in gen 5, Steel Wing would've been Skarmory's Signature Move for two generations and it would've lost this status in gen 5. But now its reversed and so it means Steel Wing isn't Skarmory's Signature Move in any generation!? I personally don't think so. And by the way Mega Kick is Hitmonlee's Signature Move, but there many Pokémon able to learn it in Firered and Leafgreen. So that's why Steel Wing (still for exemple) has to be Skarmory Signature Move. [[User:Nickvang|Nickvang]] ([[User talk:Nickvang|talk]]) 14:40, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

== Do skill swap and steel wing really count as signature moves? ==

I think something should only be considered a signature more IF only one Pokémon or only the Pokémon from one evolutionary line can learn it since the beginning. But I wouldn't say that steel wing is really Skarmory's signature move since it was a TM earlier on. Yeah, it's no longer a TM, but that doesn't make it Skarmory's signature move all of a sudden.

Also regarding skill swap, that's also a move that used to be a TM, so I wouldn't say it's a signature move either. What do you guys think? [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] ([[User talk:TheBlazikenMaster|talk]]) 15:18, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
:Steel Wing is definitely a signature move, because even though it was a TM for several generations, Skarmory learned it by level up in all those generations as well, and was the ''only'' Pokemon to learn it by level up. If anything, I think it should be listed as Skarmory's signature move in Gen 2-5 instead of just 5. Skill Swap is a slightly trickier matter that will probably require a more refined definition of "signature move" to resolve satisfactorily one way or the other.
:Personally, I think we should refine the definition so that it doesn't matter if a plethora of Pokemon can learn a move by a "lower"/"less common" method (i.e. TMs, Move Tutors, events); as long as only one family can learn it by level up, that is its signature move. (And if nothing learns it by level up and only one thing learns it by another method, that's also a signature move, of course.) But that's just my opinion. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 16:01, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
::In that case would you say that {{m|return}} is {{p|Lopunny}}'s signature move? Sure, that move was introduced long before Loponny was but Lopunny is the only Pokémon that learns it by level up.

:::That's why I said Skill Swap (which is in the same boat) is a tricky matter. There should probably be a provision where widely/universally-available TMs like Return aren't signature moves unless the one Pokémon that learns it by level up has been able to learn it at least as long as the move has been a TM. On the other hand, something like Softboiled was obviously Chansey's signature move even in Gen 1, in which nothing learned it by level up and the TM was only learnable by Chansey and Mew (which, of course, can learn anything). Of course, those are both extremes on opposite sides of the spectrum, and examples that are somewhere in the middle (like Skill Swap) are more difficult to figure.

== A few things... ==

First... Why don't egg moves disqualify a signature move? Due to them, moves like Present and Beat Up are VERY widespread, compared to moves like Softboiled and Needle Arm that get disqualified for very small numbers of other Pokemon.
Second... Why does Volt Tackle count as a Pikachu signature when it can't learn it by any means itself? (It can only get it by evolving a Pichu that knows it <which should also qualify Raichu and a bunch of other families' Pokemon if this counts> or by events <which have been noted to generally not count>.)
Third... Why does Sacred Sword (and relatedly, Fusion Flare/Bolt) count as a signature move for the Swords of Justice (who aren't technically related by family) when Rolling Kick (which only Hitmonlee and Hitmontop, who are related, can learn, excluding egg moves) doesn't from Generation 2 onwards?
Fourth... Needle Arm isn't learned by anything other than Cacnea/Cacturne in Generation 4, either. (It's only marked as being signature in Generation 3.)
Fifth... Only the Whismur line learned Sleep Talk, except by breeding, in Ruby and Sapphire.

== Definition ==

This article doesn't give a clear definition of what conditions we consider a move to be a signature move and what conditions we don't. All it says is that ''Most are learned by leveling up but some can be learned through other means when no Pokémon can learn the move by leveling up''. There's no addressing what disqualifies a signature move: do TMs? do Egg moves? do event moves? do all of these disqualify in all cases, or are there special circumstances? There's been a lot of disagreement on this talk page about what constitutes a signature move, so we need to actually state ''our definition'' in the article so it's clear to readers. I would do so myself, but I don't know what that definition is to me because {{tt|our criteria make no sense to me|Really, Soft-Boiled is disqualified from Gen I Chansey on this page because it's a TM, but there's no mention of ''since Generation II'' in Soft-Boiled's article?}}.

== Solosis line and Skill Swap? ==

Does Skill Swap really count as being a signature move for the Solosis line? Sure, they were the first ones to be able to learn it by level up, but many others could learn it through other means. Heck, the move itself appeared two generations before the Pokémon did. If no one has any objections, I think it should be removed. --[[User:RiverAura|River]][[User_Talk:RiverAura|Aura]] 00:16, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

== Event moves... ==

Should Hold Back and Happy Hour really be considered signature moves? They're not naturally known by any Pokemon, and several moves that otherwise qualify as Signature moves on this list, such as Shift Gear, Spacial Rend and Fusion Bolt have been given to event Pokemon. The fact they're only known by 1 Pokemon seems meaningless since any Pokemon could (and in all probability, will) be given them. (And again, no Pokemon actually learns them naturally.)

Incidentally, the list of "One-off signature moves" is rather incomplete. (Being both outdated, and lacking some earlier ones like XD's Frenzy Plant/Blast Burn/Hydro Cannon Gen 2 starters.)

Given Egg Moves seem to be ignored, Whismur/Loudred/Exploud should have Sleep Talk as a signature move in Ruby/Sapphire and Spoink/Grumpig should have Magic Coat as a signature move in the entirety of Gen 3. If Hold Back and Happy Hour are deemed to be valid signature moves, then Snarl should be a signature move of Zoroark in Black/White since TM95 wasn't legitimately obtainable, and thus event Zoroark (or a trade back from BW2, which also shouldn't count, since otherwise it would disqualify things like Meowth's Gen 2 Pay Day) is the only Pokemon that can know it outside breeding in those games. [[User:RiverShock|RiverShock]] ([[User talk:RiverShock|talk]]) 23:54, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

:In order for a Pokémon to qualify as having a signature move, it must meet one of the following conditions: (1) It must be the only Pokémon (or Pokémon family) to learn the move (excluding Smeargle using Sketch), or (2) It must be the only Pokémon (or Pokémon family) to learn the move by Level Up. At the time of this writing, Celebi's Hold Back and Inkay's Happy Hour qualify them for condition #1. If a later event is released giving the move to a different Pokémon, then they will cease being signature moves, and they will be removed. If a later game is released where the moves are available to more Pokémon, the same will occur. Celebrate and V-Create are good examples of this. They are event-exclusive moves, but they are available to multiple evolution lines, with Celebrate being found on both Pikachu and Eevee (plus evolutions), and V-Create being available to both Victini and Rayquaza. Shift Gear, Spacial Rend, Fusion Bolt, etc. are considered signature moves because their users qualify for condition #2, they are the only Pokémon capable of learning the move through Level Up. Snarl on Zoroark was a signature move of Zoroark in Black/White, however, it isn't listed because we don't list things by games, we list them by generation, and the move is not exclusive to Zoroark when you look at Generation V as a whole - which would include Black 2/White 2. Meowth's Gen 2 Pay Day is a signature move because it qualifies for both conditions in Gen 2. --[[User:GoldenSandslash15|GoldenSandslash15]] ([[User talk:GoldenSandslash15|talk]]) 04:14, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
::Actually, GoldenSandslash, we do frequently list things by game instead of generation. See, for example, the Alakazam line's Kinesis in Yellow or Hitmonchan's Vacuum Wave in Diamond/Pearl. Also, your condition #2 is wrong; a TM is also enough to disqualify it, even if only one family can learn it by level up. (I strongly disagree with this criterion, but for some reason it exists.) In any case, I agree that TM95 being unobtainable in BW shouldn't make Snarl Zoroark's signature move, because if you do get a TM95 in BW somehow (tradeback or cheating), it is programmed to be compatible with tons of Pokemon, so it's ''technically'' in their movesets, and it's not programmed to be in Zoroark's level up moveset at all. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]])
:::TMs aren't tradeable in Gen 5, so there has never been (and never will be) a way to teach a Pokemon a move via TM95 in Black/White without cheating. The only way TM95's compatibility is referred to at all in Black/White is by breeding a tradeback or this Zoroark. (Or a Smeargle that Sketched from this Zoroark or a tradeback, I guess.) And breeding doesn't disqualify a signature move. Why should unobtainable moves in a Pokemon's potential learnset count towards disqualifying a signature move?

== Bone/Rolling Kick thing ==

The removed fact was:
* Bone Club and Bonemerang are the only STAB signature moves throughout all 6 generations.

I don't think Rolling Kick counts because Machop, Hitmontop, and Elekid can learn it. Thus the Bone attacks are the only true signature moves. (IMO, the only signature egg move is Volt Tackle)

And in case someone says Kinesis, it does no damage, thus doesn't qualify for STAB. [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 22:43, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

== Discuss please: Move Tutor vs. level-up ==

It has come to my attention on the {{m|Electroweb}} page that, for some reason, we consider it Joltik/Galvantula's signature move in BW, not in B2W2, again in XY, and then not in ORAS, simply because of the B2W2 and ORAS move tutors. This is frankly ridiculous and makes no sense whatsoever. It was also pointed out that Hitmonlee's Mega Kick is also subject to this problem in Gen III.

The fact is that, in a post-Gen III world in which Pokémon can be and regularly are transferred forward and in which Move Tutor availability is extremely broad in some games and extremely narrow in others, the current criteria for signature moves are obscure, difficult to divine, and needlessly convoluted. The simple fact should be that if a Pokémon or evolutionary line is the only one who can learn a move (barring events), that should be its signature move, and if any other Pokémon can have legal access to it by any means (including intergenerational transfer), it should not be considered a signature move.

::I think it's pretty possible to complain both ways.

:::I think I both agree and disagree. I understand how it seems odd for Electroweb's status as a signature move to bounce back and forth, however that's not a particularly common occurrence, and I think it still fits in with the spirit of a signature move. After all, Audino had Secret Power as a signature move in Gen V, even though nearly any Pokémon could exist on those cartridges knowing that move through transfers. I disagree, then, that transfer availability disqualifies a move from being a "signature" move. I also think that the criteria for signature moves are in no way obscure or "difficult to divine", regardless of whether or not I agree with them. A move is a signature move 'in a particular game' if only one family of Pokémon—either evolutionary line or related Legendaries—can learn it without breeding. Transfers and events can be considered reasonable exceptions as they both require interaction outside the game itself (connection to another game or download server—conditions not pre-loaded onto the cartridge).

All I can say is that it would make absolutely no sense for a TM/Tutor move to be learnable by one Pokémon (barring "special" tutor moves like Dragon Ascent; which are specifically mentioned to be FOR a specific Pokémon). Yes that happened in Gen I but we are far past that now. Breeding doesn't really carry that same weight, because when a move is gained by breeding, it is "passed down" by the parent who knows the move, rather than "taught" to the Pokémon from an outside force.

:::::::::So, if that's part of the definition we're going with, how should it be applied to various pages? It looks like after this decision was made, mentions of it being the Joltik family's signature move were removed from the Electroweb page, but not from this one. Is this an accidental inconsistency or is it not? Since this is the main page for signature moves, I suppose I could see it having a slightly less strict definition and have the main table use a game-by-game basis rather than a by generation one, while having it removed from move pages if it fails to meet that requirement. Since this is such an arbitrary, unofficial thing, having it take up space on the header of a move page if there are a bunch of disclaimers is probably undesirable. Still, there are plenty of other moves aside from Electroweb scattered across all generations that don't fit the 'whole generation' criterion. Once the stance on this page vs. move pages is resolved, they could easily be sorted out.

:::::::::As for the other parts of the definition, I don't find that explanation for why egg moves don't disqualify a move from being signature to be even remotely convincing. Egg moves, TMs/HMs, and Move Tutors are all in the same boat for me — they are additional moves that can always be taught to a given species under the right conditions (right moves on parents, having the TM, having the payment/happiness criteria for tutors, etc.) in a specific game/generation. If we take signature move to mean a move exclusive to a given species/family in a specific generation with minimal influence from events and previous generations (this is what it seems to be right now), it makes no sense to exclude egg moves. For example, if someone had looked at this page and its definition, then started playing ORAS and found a bunch of Pokemon through the DexNav that knew Present despite it supposedly being exclusive to Delibird, I would not be surprised if they became confused. Maybe not the best example, but my point is, either all three of these 'additional move' categories should be included for signature move disqualification or all three should be excluded (and I much prefer the former).

:::::::::The other two categories, past-gen moves and events, are more of a gray area to me, but since (aside from Gen I/II) it isn't possible to send a later-gen Pokemon back to learn the moves in question and 'born in current generation' is officially recognized by the pentagon in Gen VI , it feels like enough of a difference to me. Excluding event moves also makes some sense to me, since they're exclusive to certain special Pokemon and not any Pokemon of that species. I'm not so sure about in-game "event" Pokemon that don't hinge on real-world things though, like the gen 2 Extreme Speed Dratini, but that has the potential to make it more confusing. Unlike the things in the first two paragraphs, I don't feel too strongly about either of these. [[User:VioletPumpkin|VioletPumpkin]] ([[User talk:VioletPumpkin|talk]]) 14:48, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
::::::::::If we counted egg moves, we would lose a LOT of signature moves here. I think the implication of egg moves versus other moves is a good enough reason, as a move only obtainable by breeding isn't something that a particular Pokémon naturally has the ability to use (i.e. if you just go out and catch one, it will never learn that move, no matter what you try), and therefore it must be specifically passed down to an offspring by the only Pokémon that can naturally learn it. For example, {{m|Octazooka}} has been consistently regarded as {{p|Octillery}}'s signature move; {{p|Horsea}} can learn it, but '''only through direct involvement with an Octillery'''. It will never learn Octazooka unless there is an Octillery involved somewhere in its lineage. A {{p|Pichu}} will never learn {{m|Present}} unless it has a {{p|Delibird}} somewhere in its "family tree".

::::::::::DexNav seems to throw a bit of a wrench into the "natural" idea with the wild egg moves thing, but that seems to just be more of a user-friendly feature so that players have a chance to gain access to egg moves that they might not be able to get otherwise, and also so players have the ability to take advantage of egg moves during story mode (since I imagine very few people take the time to chain-breed then), and perhaps even to introduce the concept to breeding novices, who might not have been dedicated enough fans/players to even know that it existed. — [[User:Kianglo|KiANGLO]] [[User talk:Kianglo|TALK]] 05:11, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

That still leaves a syllable unaccounted for, so someone who knows Japanese better will have to give their input on what the most likely explanation for ジ ''ji'' is.

:The name Litten may also be based on the Norwegian Liten meaning small.

::I think this is getting a bit too speculative. There isn't much reason to assume that the English name is based off of Norwegian at the moment. Lit an kitten can be assumed, but little and liger seem like a stretch to add as many meanings as possible without any substantial support.

Regarding its Japanese name, Nyabby, where are people seeing "火 hi (fire)" anywhere? I think it's far too speculative to say that word had any part of this Pokemon's name. It's not like "Hihidaruma". --[[User:Kianglo|KiANGLO]] ''([[User talk:Kianglo|TALK]])'' 01:40, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

could the markings on its head be a kenji simbol like キ?[[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 14:32, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

:Nope. Its from the Alchemical symbol for Sulfur. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d1/Sulfur_symbol_1_2.svg [[User:PowerPlantRaichu|PowerPlantRaichu]] ([[User talk:PowerPlantRaichu|talk]]) 19:59, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
::While there have been some theories that it could be a alchemic symbol called the Leviathan Cross (or simply Brimstone Symbol in Asia).

A style which is fairly not uncommon in Japan. --[[User:Basinox|Basinox]] ([[User talk:Basinox|talk]]) 20:09, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
:::I wouldn't call it more likely. It'd be a pretty weird coincidence. Still though, at this point its anyone's guess.

== Chinese Zodiac ==

There's been a trend for Fire-type starters and their evolutionary lines to be based off of an animal in the Chinese Zodiac. Charizard is a '''dragon''', Cyndaquil is a '''rat''', Torchic & Combusken are '''roosters''', the Chimchar line consists of '''monkeys''', the Tepig line consists of '''pigs''', and the Fennekin line consists of foxes, a type of wild '''dog'''. Litten appears to be based off of a '''tiger''', furthering this trend; it would be a good idea to add this to the main article under "origin." {{unsigned|KingStarscream}}
:This is a very popular theory, but I'm hesitant on it. Largely because Cyndaquil being a rat is a smidge of a stretch. Additionally, we should wait until more is known about Litten. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 22:21, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
::I think that if the final evolution ends up being a tiger than its real life influence is probably partly based on the Tiger Tabby Cat.

:Cyndaquil is based on an echnidna, which isn't even a rodent, and its final evolved form is a badger, which still isn't a rodent. It's like saying Donphan is a sofa.

:There is nothing to suggest the two Pokémon on the boxart are at all related to Popplio or Litten. Plus, there are too many differences between them for them to be evolutions, especially as Popplio and the Moon Pokémon are vastly different species (which doesn't mean anything in Pokémon, but still). I'm pretty sure the two Pokémon on the boxart are completely unrelated Legendaries. --[[User:S2daam|--samm :D]] 06:50, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

== Litten's Origin ==

It's pretty obvious Litten's a black cat, but has it been pointed out yet that it could possibly be a play on Bombay? It's a breed of cat that happens to be very intelligent and caring with solid black fur and bright yellow eyes, like Litten. If it really is supposedly a bomb cat with the fuse and sulfur, wouldn't it make sense for it to possibly be from Bombay cats? Err, sorry, this is going a little into speculation, but I thought I should at least point it out. [[User:Drbiohazmat|Drbiohazmat]] ([[User talk:Drbiohazmat|talk]]) 22:04, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

::::I don't think the fact that it doesn't have a thick body and legs disqualifies it from being a tiger. It's still in its most basic stage--as an unevolved Pokémon, you can't really expect it to necessarily have those traits.
::::Look at it this way. Even {{p|Growlithe}}'s page mentions that it has traits of tigers, and that evolutionary line is decidedly canine-based. Tigers absolutely deserve a mention in Litten's case. I'm also going to agree with the point that some Pokémon are more loosely based on their real-life counterpart species than others. I mean, {{p|Pikachu}} hardly looks like a mouse... --[[User:Kianglo|KiANGLO]] ''([[User talk:Kianglo|TALK]])'' 06:36, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
:::::It has no body stripes. It barely has ANY stripes (just headstripes and rings around its legs), and certainly not enough to cry tiger at this moment. Growlithe, however, has the tiger stripes from the start and continue into their evolution, plus hindsight to the fact we know its entire line. There's no prove ''yet'' the Litten line was going to be tiger-based, but if that's where its' line goes, we'll mention it. But right now it's an ordinary house cat. With flaming hairballs.

== Hourglass-shaped? Kilt? ==

Ok, i'm not sure what hourglasses the writer of the Physiology is use to seeing, but that is not a hourglass shaped figure.

Being this is for a wiki on a kid oriented show, i'll use the pg talk on what its body looks like.

If anything, it's body looks like a "novelty" smoking "accessory." Similar to the one that got {{wp|Tommy Chong|Tommy Chong}} some legal trouble.

Heck even the bottle from "I Dream of Jeannie" looks more like its body then a hourglass.

There is no way that looks like a hour glass. Black Widows have an Hourglass in its Physiology but Gallade doesn't.

Also I fail to see how its lower body looks like a kilt. I don't see them every day, but i know what a kilt look like and Gallade does not look like it has a kilt down there. Google Kilt and look at the first image only (the others are NSFW.) [[User:Yami Takashi|Yami]] 12:19, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Is it really notable that a Pokémon can't learn an Egg move via TM? I mean, if a Pokémon can learn a move via TM, why make it an egg move anyway? That just seems like common sense to me.

I noticed something unique about Gallade that sets him apart from all of the other 16 Pokémon that change one of their types after evolving. Before the Fairy-type was introduced in Gen VI, his pre-evolution Kirlia was a pure Psychic-type. Is it trivia worthy saying that Gallade is unique from all Pokémon that changed one of their types after evolving for his pre-evolution originally had one type before the Fairy-type was introduced in Gen VI?

So maybe that could be a category? "Pokémon that lose a type upon evolving" or something better worded? Mega Aggron might even technically fit that bill. [[User:Draceon|Draceon]] ([[User talk:Draceon|talk]]) 06:04, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
:Categories are generally not created if they will only contain a very small number of pages. They're meant to ''group'' things, and when there's very few things, that's not much use. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 06:07, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
::Well, I don't know. It's far from a "unique" situation, as it shares that distinction with many other Pokémon. That may be enough to warrant the creation of a category page. The other Pokémon who "lost" a type during evolution are, to the best of my knowledge: {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, {{p|Flareon}}, {{p|Espeon}}, {{p|Umbreon}}, {{p|Leafeon}}, {{p|Glaceon}}, {{p|Sylveon}}, {{p|Marill}}, {{p|Bellossom}}, {{p|Steelix}}, {{p|Scizor}}, {{p|Masquerain}}, {{p|Ninjask}}, {{p|Altaria}}, {{p|Drapion}}, {{p|Dragalge}}, and of course {{p|Gallade}} itself. That would bring the total to eighteen Pokémon whose pre-evolutions "lost" a type when they evolved. I'm not counting Mega Evolutions as they're temporary. So it's more than "very few things", since categories of around that number of entries or less do exist, but it may also be better applied to the pre-evolutions themselves, as they are the one who "lose" the types. — [[User:Kianglo|KiANGLO]] [[User talk:Kianglo|TALK]] 09:23, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
:::In that case...honestly, my own reaction is mostly, "So?". (If others want to express their own opinion, that's fine; that's just mine.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 14:30, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
::::It's definitely ambiguously necessary, but I'm pleased to see how many examples actually exist - I forgot to count eeveelutions entirely - and I certainly didn't mean to say it should be a category ''because'' few Pokémon, even one, are in that weird situation, I really meant the seeming rarity of it intrigued me, and I wanted to see if there were other examples before pressing the creation of a category. Still... there's only 18 of them, so I'll leave it to others to decide if it's warranted. We may even get new additions to this "category" (patent pending) when Sun and Moon come out! At the very least, the category name could most likely be worded better than my initial attempt, and actually applying the category to the pre-evolutions might not be a bad idea... Raises a question in Gallade's case to be fair, as that's a branched evolution, but. Yeah. EDIT: Shedinja too, actually, so 19. [[User:Draceon|Draceon]] ([[User talk:Draceon|talk]]) 21:18, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
:::::I intentionally left out {{p|Shedinja}} because it doesn't really ''evolve'' from Nincada per se; Ninjask is its evolution and Shedinja is just... there. I wouldn't personally include it in this list. However. For some reason I could swear I remember that this little bit of trivia used to exist on some pages, such as Swablu or Altaria's, some long time ago, and was since removed. I distinctly recall seeing something about how Swablu changes its primary type upon evolution (which was rare), and I can't imagine anywhere else where I would have seen it.
:::::And Tiddlywinks, you say "So?", but there are a lot of really arbitrary categories on this wiki that would make a lot of other people say the same. For example, there's got to be "category" for every possible BST, most of which have only one Pokémon included in them. There's also a "category" for each and every method of evolution, one of which containing {{p|Feebas|every single Pokémon in the universe that evolves using a Prism Scale}}. Therefore, I hardly think that a lack of entries makes a category unworthy of creation. I'm still not sure how to phrase such a category, though. — [[User:Kianglo|KiANGLO]] [[User talk:Kianglo|TALK]] 04:09, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
::::::If you think "So?" is in response to, "Actually, there's several Pokemon that can fit the category", casually dismissing that, you're quite mistaken. That's in response to the category idea itself ("They lose a type. OK...so?" I.e., IMO it's not very interesting/worthwhile.)
::::::The BST categories are ''automatic'' (generated by the base stats template), and for all intents and purposes you can consider the evolution method categories automatic too (there's plenty reason for those). Categories like those are the exact reason I said "generally" right from the get-go; they're not what I was talking about. Something like {{cat|protection moves}} is a far better analogy. If we only had {{m|Protect}}, we wouldn't have created that category; but once a few more such moves appeared, it became a worthy grouping to make. 04:34, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
:::::::I think the fact that it's rare makes it noteworthy. Pokémon overwhelmingly remain the same type, or gain a secondary type upon evolving (after being single-typed). The fact that only eighteen Pokémon share this distinction makes it notable enough that it's not a "regular" occurrence that should just be overlooked, but at the same time, the fact that an ''entire'' eighteen Pokémon share this distinction makes it more than just a blip on the radar that would only be worth mentioning on the pages of the few that it pertained to. The logic I'm looking at here is, it's too many examples to list them on those Pokémon's pages as trivia. But for that reason there should be some sort of category page for it. I really don't see a reason why not; and it is somewhat notable from a gameplay standpoint, as these Pokémon's strengths and weaknesses may change drastically when they evolve. There's a huge difference between a Normal/Flying type like Swablu and a Dragon/Flying type like Altaria. In short, these eighteen Pokémon go against the unwritten expectations that come with evolution. Why shouldn't that get the slightest bit of acknowledgement? — [[User:Kianglo|KiANGLO]] [[User talk:Kianglo|TALK]] 05:44, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

== Sketch and Exclusivity ==

Firstly, can {{m|Sketch}} copy this move? The text implies that no Pokémon other than Hoopa Unbound will be able to successfully execute it, but can it be Sketched, or is it like {{m|Chatter}}, which can't?

Regardless of whether or not it can actually be copied by Sketch, it should be noted in this move's trivia that it is one of three true signature moves (the others being Chatter and Sketch). Chatter's article contains a bit of trivia reflecting this, and I think that Hyperspace Fury is a definite candidate for that factoid as well. I just am not entirely sure how it should be worded. — [[User:Kianglo|KiANGLO]] [[User talk:Kianglo|TALK]] 09:07, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

== Hourglass-shaped? Kilt? ==

Ok, i'm not sure what hourglasses the writer of the Physiology is use to seeing, but that is not a hourglass shaped figure.

Being this is for a wiki on a kid oriented show, i'll use the pg talk on what its body looks like.

If anything, it's body looks like a "novelty" smoking "accessory." Similar to the one that got {{wp|Tommy Chong|Tommy Chong}} some legal trouble.

Heck even the bottle from "I Dream of Jeannie" looks more like its body then a hourglass.

There is no way that looks like a hour glass. Black Widows have an Hourglass in its Physiology but Gallade doesn't.

Also I fail to see how its lower body looks like a kilt. I don't see them every day, but i know what a kilt look like and Gallade does not look like it has a kilt down there. Google Kilt and look at the first image only (the others are NSFW.) [[User:Yami Takashi|Yami]] 12:19, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

== Trivia ==
Is it really notable that a Pokémon can't learn an Egg move via TM? I mean, if a Pokémon can learn a move via TM, why make it an egg move anyway? That just seems like common sense to me. Yes, it is available as a TM, but just because Gallade can't use it doesn't mean it should be notable that it can learn it from its father who can learn the TM.

:They do resemble leeks, though it may (or may not) be coincidental. Also, when were they compared to plants?

== Name origin ==

Maybe Gallade's name came from arabic " جلاد " ( spells Jallade ) and that means "Executioner"

==Is this trivia worthy?==
I noticed something unique about Gallade that sets him apart from all of the other 16 Pokémon that change one of their types after evolving. Before the Fairy-type was introduced in Gen VI, his pre-evolution Kirlia was a pure Psychic-type. Is it trivia worthy saying that Gallade is unique from all Pokémon that changed one of their types after evolving for his pre-evolution originally had one type before the Fairy-type was introduced in Gen VI? Or should this be put in Kirlia's page instead? --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 03:36, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

== Moveset Filter ==

Maybe this is just my computer bugging up, but when I click on the filter buttons above Gallade's "Moves Learned via Level Up", they don't sort in order. EG, clicking on Category should sort them into Physical, Special, and Status, but they're still very mixed up, beginning with Close Combat and ending with False Swipe (both physical).

'''Vital Spirit''' (Japanese: '''やるき''' ''Willingness'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. Twelve {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} can have this Ability. It is one of three Abilities that prevent {{status|sleeping}}, the others being {{a|Insomnia}} and {{a|Sweet Veil}}.

==Effect==
===In battle===
Vital Spirit prevents the Pokémon from being afflicted by {{status|sleep}} and {{m|Yawn}}. {{m|Rest}} will fail when used by the Pokémon.

A Pokémon with this Ability will wake up if it is asleep in battle (such as if it gains the Ability outside of battle or by an effect like {{m|Skill Swap}}, or is put to sleep by a Pokémon with an Ability like {{a|Mold Breaker}}). If the Pokémon is holding a [[Chesto Berry]] or a [[Lum Berry]], it will be eaten before Vital Spirit wakes up the Pokémon.

If a Pokémon with this Ability is drowsy due to Yawn, when it would fall asleep the Ability activates and keeps it awake.

===Outside of battle===
If a sleeping Pokémon gains Vital Spirit by evolution or the [[Ability Capsule]], it will not wake up until sent into battle. Pokémon with Vital Spirit will not be put to sleep by the {{tc|Gentleman}}'s {{p|Kirlia}} in the [[Battle Pike]] nor the [[Battle Arcade]]'s game board.

From {{game|Emerald}} onwards, if a Pokémon with Vital Spirit is leading the [[party]], the chance of encountering a higher-leveled wild Pokémon increases by 50%. It shares this effect with {{a|Hustle}} and {{a|Pressure}}.

In [[Generation V]], Vital Spirit also prevented a Pokémon from visiting the {{pkmn|Dream World}} before it was shut down.

'''Dry Skin''' (Japanese: '''かんそうはだ''' ''Dry Skin'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation IV]]. Seven {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} can have this Ability.

==Effect==
===In battle===
During {{weather|harsh sunlight}}, a Pokémon with Dry Skin will lose ⅛ of its maximum HP at the end of each turn. During [[rain]], a Pokémon with Dry Skin will regain ⅛ of its maximum HP at the end of each turn.

{{type|Fire}} attacks do 25% more damage to a Pokémon with Dry Skin.

When a Pokémon with Dry Skin is hit by a {{type|Water}} [[move]], its HP is restored by one quarter of its maximum HP, and the move will have no effect on that Pokémon (if a Pokémon with this Ability already has full HP, the Water-type move will do nothing). This effect will not activate if the Pokémon is {{cat|Protection moves|protected}} from the Water-type move.

If a Pokémon with Dry Skin is holding an {{DL|In-battle effect item|Absorb Bulb}} or {{DL|In-battle effect item|Luminous Moss}}, Dry Skin absorbs the Water-type move so the item's effect is not triggered.

===Outside of battle===
Dry Skin has no effect outside of battle.

'''Forecast''' (Japanese: '''てんきや''' ''Temperamental'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. It is the [[Signature Ability|signature Ability]] of {{p|Castform}}.

==Effect==
===In battle===
Depending on the [[weather]], Forecast will change {{p|Castform}}'s form, which also changes its [[type]]. Castform changes as follows:
* During [[harsh sunlight]] or [[Harsh sunlight|extremely harsh sunlight]], it will become Sunny Form, which is {{type|Fire}}.
* During {{weather|hail}}, it will become Snowy Form, which is {{type|Ice}}.
* During [[rain]] or [[Rain|heavy rain]], it will become Rainy Form, which is {{type|Water}}.
* During a {{weather|sandstorm}}, {{weather|fog}}, a [[mysterious air current]], a [[shadowy aura]], or clear weather it will revert to its normal form, which is {{type|Normal}}.
** It will also revert to its normal form if a Pokémon on the field has {{a|Cloud Nine}} or {{a|Air Lock}}.

This Ability has no effect on Pokémon other than Castform.

Forecast does not change Castform's form until after {{m|Stealth Rock}} deals damage.

====Generation III and IV====
If Castform loses Forecast or Forecast is suppressed with {{m|Gastro Acid}}, it will be stuck in its current form. When it regains Forecast, it will change to the form matching the current weather, even if it is already in the correct form (which resets its type if it had changed due to an effect like {{a|Color Change}}).

====Generation V onward====
If Castform loses Forecast or Forecast is suppressed with {{m|Gastro Acid}}, it will revert to its normal form and not be able to change form. If Castform regains Forecast, it will change form to match the current weather, unless it would be in its normal form in the current weather.

===Outside of battle===
Forecast has no effect outside of battle.

Solar Power (Ability)

2016-06-10T06:35:24Z

Kianglo: I couldn't find any word on whether there was an official convention for the colors used on ability pages. This one makes more sense this way.

{{AbilityInfobox

'''Solar Power''' (Japanese: '''サンパワー''' ''Sun Power'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation IV]]. Nine {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} can have this Ability.

==Effect==
===In battle===
During {{weather|harsh sunlight}}, Solar Power increases the Pokémon's {{stat|Special Attack}} by 1.5×, but the Pokémon loses 1/8 of its maximum HP at the end of each turn.

===Outside of battle===
Solar Power has no effect outside of battle.

Hydration (Ability)

2016-06-10T06:30:48Z

Kianglo: Changed the colors of abilities in the bottom template to reflect the color used on each ability's page.

}}
'''Hydration''' (Japanese: '''うるおいボディ''' ''Moist Body'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation IV]]. Twenty-one {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} can have this Ability.

==Effect==
===In battle===
At the end of each turn, if it is [[rain]]ing, Hydration will cure the Pokémon of any [[Status condition#Non-volatile status|non-volatile status condition]]. If Hydration cures a Pokémon of {{status|burn}} or {{status|poison}}, it will do so before any burn or poison damage is dealt on that turn.

===Outside of battle===
Hydration has no effect outside of battle.

Talk:Move variations/Archive 1

2016-06-10T06:20:55Z

Kianglo: /* Outdated Template */ new section

== Template? ==

This page was an excellent idea, but I wonder if there's a way to indicate in each move's article when it belongs to one of these "archetypes". --[[User:Johans|Johans Nidorino]] 21:10, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

I suggested it but it was forgotten later on; and unfortunately, I don't know how to make templates. -([[User:Llxwarbirdxll|Llxwarbirdxll]] 02:35, 29 May 2007 (UTC))
:Template namespace. I'll whip one up. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 02:53, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
::Maybe this is not the right place to suggest, but take a look at the template (Flamethrower as an example):
{| align="center" class="toccolours" cellspacing="2" style="border: 3px solid #88a; border-radius:20px; -moz-border-radius:20px;"
|-
! colspan="2" style="background: #ccf; border: border-radius:20px; -moz-border-radius:20px; padding: 2px 15px;" | [[Move variations|Variations]] of the move {{m|Flamethrower}}
|- style="font-size:90%;" align="center"
| {{ic|Special}}
| {{mcolor|Flamethrower|{{fire color}}}} | {{mcolor|Ice Beam|{{ice color dark}}}} | {{mcolor|Sludge Wave|{{poison color dark}}}} | {{mcolor|Thunderbolt|{{electric color dark}}}}
|}
::Flamethrower mentioned twice, while there is no actual link to ''Variations of Flamethrower''. I believe it will be better this way:

{| align="center" class="toccolours" cellspacing="2" style="border: 3px solid #88a; border-radius:20px; -moz-border-radius:20px;"
|-
! colspan="2" style="background: #ccf; border: border-radius:20px; -moz-border-radius:20px; padding: 2px 15px;" | [[Move_variations#Variations_of_Flamethrower|Variations of the move Flamethrower]]:

| {{ic|Special}}
| {{mcolor|Flamethrower|{{fire color}}}} | {{mcolor|Ice Beam|{{ice color dark}}}} | {{mcolor|Sludge Wave|{{poison color dark}}}} | {{mcolor|Thunderbolt|{{electric color dark}}}}
|}
::--[[User:ЫъГЬ|ЫъГЬ]] 11:09, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
:::I agree. It does make more sense that way. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:12, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

== New Variation ==

There neeeds to be a Move Variation for the Following moves:
* {{m|Psybeam}}
* {{m|BubbleBeam}}
* {{m|Aurora Beam}}
* {{m|Sludge}}
* {{m|Spark}}
I have checked them all out and they each have:
* Power: 65
* Accuracy: 100%
* PP: 20
P.S. I don't know how to do this myself so really I'm asking for somebody to do this for me!
[[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 16:53, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I'm not sure if this should be counted as they each have a different added effect, either a [[status ailment]] or a [[stat]] change. Somebody gie me their:view...[[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 20:32, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
:Maybe keep the status-changing ones together, and keep the stat-changing ones together, but keep them separate. That means {{m|Psybeam}}, {{m|Sludge}}, and {{m|Spark}} go together, and {{m|BubbleBeam}} and {{m|Aurora Beam}} go together.
:And don't forget to use the {{template|m}} template for moves. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 00:22, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
By the way, I think you've got the wrong idea. I'm not sure on how to create the move variation. I only realised they were similar... [[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 15:34, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

== "Or" ==

Is "10 or 15" valid [[Move variations#Variations of Shadow Ball|here]]? I'd say the use of every possible move variation no matter the amount of PPs it has would require a redefinition. BTW, {{m|Ice Beam}} and {{m|Thunder}} don't belong in the tables they've been introduced in if following the original criterion. --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 05:04, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I put those there. I'll have them removed. [[User:Llxwarbirdxll|Llxwarbirdxll]] 08:20, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

:LOL, now somebody else did the same with variations of Slash, Waterfall, and Shadow Ball :P --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 16:08, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

People are no longer respecting the "PPs" part of the definition. With "Variations of Flamethrower" the article mentions neither 15 nor 10 now. If this is going to continue, maybe Bulbapedia's definition on "move variations" should no longer include PPs, which seems to be the least important of the three columns. --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 18:35, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

== Seismic Toss and Night Shade? ==

Those belong on the list, right?
[[User:Angerman|Angerman]] 20:10, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
:Doesn't {{m|Night Shade}} do somewhere from 1 to 1.5x the level? I know {{m|Seismic Toss}} does the level. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 23:07, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
::No, Psywave does from 0.5 to 1.5x the level. But Night Shade always does damage equal to the level. --[[User:Shiny Noctowl|Shiny Noctowl]] 23:11, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
:Still, they don't have the same amout of default total PPs. --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 01:53, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
::They're stretching it nowadays though. Hmm...{{m|Zap Cannon}} and {{m|DynamicPunch}}... [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 22:11, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
Well, I'm sure {{m|Stone Edge}} and {{m|Cross Chop}} are variations. [[User:Angerman|Angerman]] 07:00, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
:Definitely ^_^ --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 16:46, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

==Stub?==
Is it Still a stub?--[[User:Torchic-ken|Torchic-ken]] 2:58, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
:Yeah, there's a few missing bits. [[User:Angerman|Angerman]] 00:10, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

== Mean Look/Block/Spider Web? ==

I noticed there isn't a section for these three moves, and while Block and Mean Look fit a "5 PP, Prevents foe from escaping" description, Spider Web only has one thing setting them apart and that's the PP issue. Should I add it anyway? [[User:TinaTheKirlia|TinaTheKirlia]] 01:47, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
:Add only Mean Look and Block. That's what has been done in these cases to agree with the current definition of "move archetypes". --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 08:01, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

== Counter and Mirror Coat? ==

I'm really surprised no one did this - they both have 10PP, varying power, 100% accuracy and they both go last and counter the foe's attack at two times the power. I was trying to find a good way to summarize it though - how's this? "Goes last and counters the move used by the foe at twice the power". [[User:TinaTheKirlia|Tina]][[User talk:TinaTheKirlia|The]][[Kirlia (Pokémon)|Kirlia]] ♥ 21:23, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
:That works. '''[[User:TTEchidna|TTE]][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 23:41, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

== Softboiled and Milk Drink ==

Even though they're listed under variations of Recover.. they both can do something Recover can not -- heal other Pokémon's HP outside of battle. I think this deserves a mention. :P [[User:Tina|Tina]] [[Special:Contributions/Tina|δ]][[User talk:Tina|♫]] 18:58, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

== Contests? ==

I think it would be incredibly useful to have a version of this page for contests, since many of the moves do the exact same things.
Thoughts...? [[User:Maki|Maki]] 13:47, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
:I agree. However it'd have to be set up differently. It'd be like... effect, cute moves, beauty moves, smart moves, tough moves, cool moves. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]Fire echy''' 20:49, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

== Blizzard ==

Are Magma Storm and Focus Blast ''really'' variations of Blizzard? Neither inflict a status ailment and Magma Storm sounds more like a multi-turn move. The only similarities seem to be 120 power

Also, I think Thunder should be added as a variation. It has 10 PP, not 5, but it causes a status ailment, has 120 power and 70 accuracy. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] 20:28, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
:Thunder and Blizzard also have their accuracy at 100% when used during a specific weather condition. Magma Storm seems most like Outrage, though that goes 2-3 turns, and Focus Blast is just... its own thing. Not ''every'' move has a counterpart, that's what people need to remember. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]Fire echy''' 20:38, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
::That's what I mean, a lot of the moves I mentioned, as well as Hydro Pump, Seed Flare and Fire Blast are all ''similar'', but variations of each other? I'd say they're similar moves, but not direct variations. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] 20:40, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
:::Yes. Variations: Do the same thing. Similarity: have the same PP, power, or accuracy but don't do the same thing. Outrage and Thrash are variations, despite Outrage now being 120 power. Focus Blast and Blizzard are not because all they share is accuracy and power. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]Fire echy''' 21:21, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
::::So, should we move some of the moves I mentioned around? That's what I've been suggesting. I think Magma Storm should be grouped with Outrage and Thrash, and Blizzard, Thunder and Gunk Shot should be in a group. Maybe Seed Flare and Focus Blast too, their effects are identical except for accuracy. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] 00:39, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

==Order==
Why aren't they in alphabetical order? {{u|MathijsP}}
:Beats me. Last time I organized them I put them in order by damage. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 01:59, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

==Dragon Claw, X-Scissor, Seed Bomb==

Aren't these all variations? They all do 80 damage, have 15 PP, and no added effect. Can I add them? --[[User:Dark Sage|Dark Sage]] 18:25, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
:You forget to mention the accuracy, but it happens that it's the same! So yeah, they're move variations. --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 18:20, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
Great. I guess I'll add them now. --[[User:Dark Sage|Dark Sage]] 18:25, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Actually, I don't think I know how to do the template. Can someone else do that? --[[User:Dark Sage|Dark Sage]] 18:27, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Nevermind, I got them. :) --[[User:Dark Sage|Dark Sage]] 21:05, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

==Ice Beam?==

Ice Beam has only 10 PP, yet it's claimed to be a variation of Flamethrower and Thunderbolt, which have 15 PP. Can I remove that? --[[User:Dark Sage|Dark Sage]] 21:08, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
:Ice Beam is the most useful of all three, but is still the same. Same power, accuracy and rate to inflict a status problem. Part of Ice Beam may be the fact frozen Pokémon are helpless. [[User:Gywall|'''Gywall''']]([[User_talk:Gywall|Talk]]) 21:15, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
::Ice Beam is one of the more visible move variations in normal gameplay. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 21:21, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Ah. I see. OK. --[[User:Dark Sage|Dark Sage]] 00:46, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

== Air Slash? ==

I wonder if, shouldnt Air Slash be in the "variations of Slash" since it IS a Slash move after all? o: what do you people think? I havn't really looked up the PP, accuracy and power, but its very similar to Night Slash and Slash. :c--[[User:Angela-Samshi|Angela-Samshi]] 17:50, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

:Slash and Night Slash have high critical-hit ratios, Air Slash may cause the opponent to flinch. ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|'''$aturn''']][[User:SaturnYoshi|'''¥oshi''']] [[User talk:SaturnYoshi|THE VOICES]] 17:54, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Ahh, ok thanks. --[[User:Angela-Samshi|Angela-Samshi]] 18:09, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

== Pound <-> Gust? ==

Gust isn't a variation of Pound, is it? - [[User:FireHazard|Hazardous FIRE!]] 00:08, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
:Yes it is. 35 PP, 40 power, 100% accuracy–yup, variation. --[[user:Baby G|Baby G]] ([[user talk:Baby G|talk to me]]) ([[Special:Contributions/Baby_G|see my edits]]) 23:10, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

== Arm Thrust ==

I read that the accuracy of Arm Thrust was 100 percent, but it was under the variations of Barrage, saying that its accuracy was 85 percent. Is its accuracy 85 or 100, cuz I don't wanna do an edit with wrong info.---[[User:Hitmonchan90|Hitmonchan90]] 23:07, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

==Bulk Up and Calm Mind?==

They both have 20 PP, and raise Attack and Defense/Special Attack and Special Defense one stage, respectively. Variants? All signs point to yes. [[User:Master Lucario|Master Lucario]]
:Yep, variations. Added. --[[user:Baby G|Baby G]] ([[user talk:Baby G|talk to me]]) ([[Special:Contributions/Baby_G|see my edits]]) 21:30, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

== Reorganised ==

Since the moves were looking kinda messy, since the order was somewhat random, I went and moved the sections around to order it A-Z. Exceptions being Elemental X and the OHKO moves as they are listed differently. [[User:Gywall|'''Gywall''']]([[User_talk:Gywall|Talk]]) 17:27, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

I believe the order was by Base Power of the attacks. [[User:The Placebo Effect|The Placebo Effect]] 13:29, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

== Sections for both {{m|Tail Glow}} AND {{m|Agility}}? ==

I've noticed that there are two sections that both share similar attributes, both sections detail moves that have 20 PP but increase a stat two stages, however, One details just Special attack raisers while the other details the other ones.

Should there be two or should they be put together? [[User:PDL|PDL]] 00:22, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
:I was thinking the same thing, but then I found out that all the listed variations of Agility (including Agility itself) have ''30'' PP, and that Tail Glow and {{m|Nasty Plot}} have ''20'' PP. --[[user:chocolate|Cho]][[user talk:chocolate|col]][[special:contributions/chocolate|ate]] 00:23, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

I just noticed that now as well ^^; [[User:PDL|PDL]] 00:35, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

== This page needs work ==

First of all, should PP be accounted for or not? Right now, some do and some don't. I don't really care which one we go with, so long as it's consistent.

Second, effects are not being grouped together consistently either. Example: Spark has a 30% chance of inducing Paralyze. Psybeam has a 10% chance of inducing Confusion. 30 != 10. Another example: Flamethrower has a 10% chance of inducing Burn. Surf has 0% chance of inducing anything at all, and has a different target range on top of that. Also, the diffence between "Acid Armor variations" and "Amnesia variations"? Ignoring the PP difference (the Acid Armor variations already do this anyway), who really cares if they raise Special stats or not? You could just as easily group them by Defense or Attack stats. On the other hand, I say just go with "raises a stat by two stages" and leave it at that.

Third, I do not think "non-[http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/volatile volatile]" means what you think it means. Why not just put "non-damaging effect" or something else a bit more clear and grammatically correct? [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 04:57, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

:I never thought PP should be accounted for. A lot of the moves might have the same PP but if all the important other stuff is the same, the moves are pretty much variations! [[User:Toastypk|'''''~Toastypk''''']] - [[User_Talk:Toastypk|'''Loom.''']] 05:06, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Thief and Covet will never be counted as variations if taking PP into account. --[[User:Kaoz|Kaoz]] 15:57, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

::If there's only one thing different about a move variation, it can still be considered a variation. For example, {{m|Surf}} is one of the {{m|Flamethrower}} variations, because it has the same power, PP, and accuracy. The only thing different is the effect. [[User:Chocolate|Chocolate]] ([[User talk:Chocolate|Chat with Me]]) 00:44, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
:::Actually, you could argue that Surf is a variation of Earthquake, since they have the same range and the same effect (none). Surf has more PP and less power, but it also has two things different from Flamethrower: range and effect. See? You can't just go "Oh they're close ENOUGH", you have to pick your criteria and stick with it. Either effect counts or it doesn't count. Either range counts or it doesn't count. Either PP counts or it doesn't count. If you start flubbing things, that's only going to make things more complicated down the line. [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 03:23, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

:::Earthquake has the anti-{{m|Dig}} effect. --[[User:Raijinili|Raijinili]] 02:55, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
::::Good point, that's another thing they have in common, since Surf can hit during Dive too. [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 03:15, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
::::I don't think there needs to be a set of rigid rules for move variations. By definition, variation implies differing conditions, character, and degree. That said, I do think that a move variations should have identical or ''very'' similar effects. PP and base power are relatively unimportant to me, when two moves have unique identical effects. Consider Bind, Fire Spin, and Whirlpool: they are all multi-turn attacks that trap their foe. They work exactly the same, and have relatively unique effects (only a handful of moves work like this). However, Bulbapedia currently only considers Fire Spin and Whirlpool as "variations". — [[User:Laoris|Laoris]] ([[User_Talk:Laoris|Blah]]) 03:18, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
:::::I think that trapping should have its own page. It's not as if the creators sat around and thought, "Hey, wouldn't it be cool to have a clone of this move for that element?" I think the process was more like, "Hey, why not have this as a mechanic?" --[[User:Raijinili|Raijinili]] 05:12, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
:::::Minor problem with that though. Ember, Flamethrower and Fire Blast (and probably others but those are the big ones) all have a 10% chance of causing burn. Moreover, they're all Fire attacks. If we go solely by effect, then that makes them variations of each other. So then we have moves that are multiple variations in one. Is that really ok? I mean, I can see it going either way...

:::::One possibility is to split it into two things, where there are moves that are strictly exact copies of each other minus type and specific effect (not % chance of effect though, that has to say the same), and then other moves that just do the same thing but are not exact copies. Like, if I want to look for moves that cause Burn, there could be a category that I could go to and look there, and likewise for moves that cause trapping, or moves that hit everyone on the field. Does that sound reasonable? [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 01:14, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

::::::I'm not talking about secondary effects like 10% of burn or confusion. I agree that there should be a [[list of moves that burn]] (not a category, unfortunately), but I don't think they should be considered variations. In my mind, examples of move variations are moves that have some unique game mechanic, such as {{m|Wrap|multi-turn}} {{m|Magma Storm|trapping}} {{m|Sand Tomb|moves}}, {{m|Fly|moves with}} {{m|Dig|an initial}} {{m|Shadow Force|invulnerable}} {{m|Dive|turn}}, {{m|Block|moves that}} {{m|Spider Web|prevent}} {{m|Mean Look|escape}}, or {{m|Protect|moves that can negate}} {{m|Detect|all negative effects}}—Moves that work so similarly that there are, for example, abilities that negate the set of them or moves that counter-act a set of them. These should be considered move variations. — [[User:Laoris|Laoris]] ([[User_Talk:Laoris|Blah]]) 01:33, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Starting tabs over.

I've always considered anything that does not cause damage on an otherwise damaging move to be a secondary effect so I think we are going to differ in thought there, unfortunately. Example: Razor Wind requires charging, has a high crit rate and deals damage, so the charging and high crit rate are both secondary effects. Screech causes only Defense down, so Defense down is the primary effect.

Taking each thing in turn, I don't think that just because Wrap and Magma Storm both cause multi-turn trapping is enough for them to be considered variations. They ought to have a page specifying this, but this does not make them variations, in the same way as Ember and Flamethrower. Ditto with with the semi-invulnerable moves. They are different enough (note which moves can hit which during the invulnerable turn, not to mention Power) to warrant an obviously acknowledged ''similarity'' but not actual variations.

As for your last two examples, those moves DO essentially do the exact same thing in every way, with the exception of PP, so I think, if we decide to exclude PP from the criteria (which I am fairly convinced we ought to do by now), then yes, I would consider those move variations.

(Somewhat off-topic, why not a category instead of a page? Then there would be links from the moves pages themselves, so they can actually be found... The Pokédex has tons of categories, I've noticed...) [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 02:14, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
:Also, {{m|Mud-Slap}} and {{m|Sand-Attack}} are both Ground moves with a 100% chance of lowering Accuracy, and this can be prevented by abilities such as {{a|Keen Eye}}, but they're still clearly not variations of each other, right? (Asking because I consider Wrap and Bind and the like to be moves with 100% chance of causing trapping) [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 02:24, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
::Why aren't Wrap and Magma Storm variations? They have the same primary effects (inflict damage over several turns at the end of each turn) and secondary effects (trap target during those turns). (Though there's no official source ordering those as primary and secondary; they could just as easily be reversed.) I realize that Ember and Flamethrower also have the same primary and secondary effects, but another issue I pointed out above is ''unique game-mechanics''. There are a hundred moves that have the same primary effect as Ember and Flamethrower (inflict damage) and very similar secondary effects (10% of a major status ailment). However, there are only 5 moves that work like Wrap and Magma Storm. I think that makes them remarkable enough to be noted as move variations.
::Since the definition of variation means details can vary. That means we could consider numerous damaging moves to be variations of each other. But I don't think it's notable if they don't have something that sets them apart from other moves.
::(As for the category thing, I don't know for sure, but the tons of categories issue might be the reason they didn't want even more categories for each detail.) — [[User:Laoris|Laoris]] ([[User_Talk:Laoris|Blah]]) 02:39, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
:::It seems to me like what you want would be better expressed in a different page, like "Moves that cause the same unique effects" ...Okay, "same unique" is a bit oxymoronic, but you know what I mean. ^^;

:::The reason I chose Mud-Slap and Sand-Attack as examples is because they ARE unique, in that Accuracy is not a standard stat, and there are only 5 moves that lower accuracy (and none that raise it, I think): Mud-Slap, Sand-Attack, {{m|Flash}}, {{m|Mirror Shot}}, and {{m|Muddy Water}}, but these are clearly not similar in any other way but that. (Asides from Flash and Sand-Attack, I would consider those variations of the other, with Gen IV's de-nerfing of Flash.) This page seems to have been created to illustrate which moves have only minor differences, with Power, Accuracy and % effect and PP cited specifically as things that must be the same. No matter which way you cut it, the only thing Wrap and Magma Storm have in common is their secondary multi-turn trapping effect, and I consider multi-turn trapping damage to be a single secondary effect (You are never going to have one of those moves inflict one without the other). Primary effect defaults to damage except for moves that do not ever deal damage. The game even categorizes them as Physical [[Image:PhysicalIC.gif]] and Special [[Image:SpecialIC.gif]], not Status [[Image:StatusIC.gif]]. You can cite their uniqueness, but there are only so many moves that do unique, specific things, like Burn, or charge, or high-crit, but then you'll end up with almost every move out there having at least one if not multiple variations. If you want to get really unique, {{m|Flame Wheel}} and {{m|Sacred Fire}} are the only moves that can thaw out their user. That makes them variations according to your definition, but they have nothing in common according to the definition already defined on this page. I think this all does deserve to be noted somewhere, but I don't think this is the right place, is what I'm trying to say. ._.; [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 04:06, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

I've realized that Dragon Claw and the others are exactly like Strength but in type, so i've changed that, and made Strength as the first in the variation. This is my first edit, i hope it's all-right, I don't know if the move wasn't in there because it is a HM.

::Okay, I made a change that in hindsight I'm unsure of. In Gen 3, Leaf Blade fit the requirements to be considered a variation of Slash - 70 power, 15 pp, 100% accuracy, high chance for critical. But in Gen 4 it's power is 90, and it has its own variation now, Attack Order. So....what do we do? IMO, it should be considered variations of both, depending on the Generation.

:::Yeah, no. The Barrage variations all have the same power and accuracy, Arm Thrust only has the same power.

Dark Pulse has more accuracy than Zen Headbutt. Bind, Wrap, and Fire Spin all have differnt accuracies. There's more to this page than just "Oh, it looks similar or has similar accuracy/PP/Power/type!" There's reasons that most of these aren't on there. The ones that don't seem like they fit are included because they either were the same, or are now the same. And Leaf Blade doesn't count, because it's already in a category that's more specific.

::Zap Cannon is listed as a variation of Dynamic Punch, but it has different power.
::Seed Flare is listed as a variation of Fire Blast, but it doesn't cause a status ailment.
::Surf is listed as a variation of Flamethrower but doesn't cause a status, and it says so right on the page

I am paying attention to what you're saying. Now pay attention to what I'm saying. Focus Blast does not cause a status ailment as the other variations do, and Seed Flare doesn't either. Zap Cannon and Focus Blast have different powers. So why are they listed? And again, ''Leaf Blade can count as a variation of both Slash and Attack Order'', so why do we count one over the other?

And yeah, Leaf Blade ''used'' to be in both categories. It's not anymore. It has more power than Slash. The only ones that I can find that have different powers as of Gen IV are the Petal Dance variations. I'll see what I can do about that too.

{{m|Tackle}} and {{m|Peck}}

The two moves are in a grouping together, but I believe they should not be. They share the Base Power of 35, but while Tackle is 95% accurate, and it mistakenly says Peck to be, Peck is 100% accurate. -- [[User:Mattman324]] 22:58:00, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Peck and Tackle aren't variations. Especially in generation V, where Tackle received a BP of 50. Myself, I would put Peck with Vine Whip, because they both have 35 BP, 100% accuracy and no special effect. Their PP, however, differs significantly, but does that really matter?

I know it seems weird, but {{m|Signal Beam}} is kinda of a variation of the elemental punches... 75 power, 100 acc, 15 PP and 10% of causing status.

Seriously, it looks really dull, which is especially bad seeing as it's pretty much all tables. One of the coding wizards here should try to make a template that incorporates colors for the type of each variation and whether they are physical, special, or a status move.

== Definition ==

The definition isn't specific enough. "Move variations are moves that are identical to each other in terms of damage, PP, and accuracy, but have different elemental types, damage categories, or secondary effects." The definition works for damaging moves but according to it almost all status moves that have the same PP are variations of each other.

:How about something like, Status move variations are moves that raise or decrease the same number of stats by the same number of levels.

== Thrash, Petal Dance, and Outrage ==

Here's my question. Thrash and Petal Dance are grouped together, but Outrage is not included only because is has 15 PP instead of 10. This difference seems minor to me, and so I think Outrage should be insluded in this group, with a note on it. If this doesn't work, then it doesn't work, but I know for a fact that most people focos on the actual move and its effects, not the PP it has. There are even people in this talk (although from 2 years ago lol) that group them together, and I know that most people think they are the same move with different types, especially now that they have the same power in Gen V. --[[User:Jdthebud|Jdthebud]] 23:11, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

== PP shouldn't be taken into account ==

Taking the PP into account makes the list messier and more incomplete. They are also not the most important aspect anyway ingame: it doesn't really matter if a move has 35 PP or 40 PP. Seperating Night Slash from Slash, for example, causes an unnecesary amount of slots.--[[User:Grrgrrgrr1000|Grrgrrgrr1000]] 15:44, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
:I agree 100%. PP is such a minor detail, it shouldn't even matter. The important thing is base power, similar or identical side effects, and accuracy. Any move that only serves to boost a stat by two stages is a variation of Acid Armor. Well, I'm not entirely sure on Body Purge, given its other effect of halving the user's weight, but still. My point is, PP shouldn't be taken into account. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno.

== Ignore base power differences, if the rest of the move is similar? ==

There may be one or two other examples of this, but the main one I'm thinking about is Zap Cannon in relation to DynamicPunch and Purgatory. Just because the base power of Zap was increased to 120 shouldn't disqualify it from being a variation of the other two moves, because they all have the same, and probably more important and notable properties of 50% accuracy and the guaranteed infliction of a status ailment (type/ability permitting).

Also, as an aside, why disqualify Surf from being similar to Tbolt, Flamer, Ice Beam and Slime Wave? It's also the Base 95, fully accurate move of it's type... '''[[User:TheChrisD|TheChrisD]]''' [[User_talk:TheChrisD|Rants]]•[[Special:Contributions/TheChrisD|Edits]] 02:21, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

::Still though, it does mean that they all have a secondary effect, simply because one of those effects does not actually inflict a status ailment shouldn't be enough to disqualify it from being considered a move variation, when in that case, the real important points to note of those moves are that they are the Base 95 move of their type.
::While Zap is currently being taken as a ''former'' variation, that's simply because of the change in Base Power - but in the case of their group, the most notable feature of them is their 50% accuracy and the infliction of the status ailment. Just because one of them was upgraded (for some unknown reason) really shouldn't be enough to disqualify it. I'm not sure of any other cases where this could apply - Leaf Blade's base power increase was a different thing, because the other aspects of the group probably weren't as notable since it was just the "high crit rate" factor.

== PP variation in both directions ==

After some debate about whether or not PP should matter, it was agreed upon that it wouldn't as long as it was within 5. This created a problem in Generation VI with variations of {{m|Strength}}. Strength has 15 PP, some of its variations have 20 PP, but {{m|Dazzling Gleam}} has 10 yet is similar enough in every other way to be rightly included. It only differs from the "base" move by 5; however it is in a different direction than the other variations. Excluding Dazzling Gleam would be as absurd as adding it but excluding {{m|Power Gem}} and {{m|Drill Peck}}. For this reason, I've added it, and strongly feel it should stay. (This issue may arise with other moves I haven't looked at yet, in which case I'll do the same thing). Some may point out that Dazzling Gleam differs in being able to affect multiple targets.

I don't think it would make sense to do this, as these are all still variations in every other way. And targeting shouldn't be terribly relevant here, as it is irrelevant in single battles, which comprise an ''extreme'' majority of all in-game battles. Perhaps if there are only two moves in question and they have different targeting, it might make more sense.

This does not appear to have been discussed in more than half a decade, so I think our standards have tightened enough since then that it's worth a second look at this page.

(1) First and foremost, since this does not actually exist in any game except Stadium 2, I think this should be deleted and simply mentioned in the Stadium 2 article. At the very least, even if this page isn't deleted, we need to demote it so it isn't mentioned as if it was a normal Egg Group and so it doesn't appear in the Egg Group navigation box. It isn't a real group, and it doesn't appear in the games' programming, so I really feel it's even less canonical than the {{t|Bird}} type, which at least ''was'' actually programmed in even if it was scrapped before release.

(2) On a separate note, since this seems to have only existed in Stadium 2, why have we been adding all the genderless breedable Pokémon that have been introduced in Generation III and beyond??? If it's true that this group only existed in Stadium 2, then ''all those Pokémon have never belonged to this group'' and should in no conceivable way be on this list. This is a ridiculous fanonical overexpansion, and if this page remains I really feel like it should cover ''only'' what is official — the Pokémon that Stadium 2 listed in it.

That's my soapbox. Sorry if it was a bit of a rant. Please discuss. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 06:41, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

:While I fully understand where you're coming from, I think that genderless breedable Pokémon need to be differentiated in some way. While we're on this topic, I don't like how they're mixed in among other members of their own egg group (such as Mineral), giving them the illusion that they can breed with other members of that group, when they can't.

:What I think would be a fair solution is to delete this page (but perhaps create a "list" page that contains all the Pokémon seen here), and on the individual egg group pages that contain genderless Pokémon, sort them out into a separate table at the bottom. — [[User:Kianglo|KiANGLO]] [[User talk:Kianglo|TALK]] 07:11, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

::I have no reason to not delete this page as long as a "list" page replaces it (as already stated). I think it's important to make a distinction between Undiscovered and Gender Unknown.
::Also, I didn't notice that the liked of Magnemite were listed in their technical egg groups. I'd say that gender unknown Pokemon ought to have an annotation on their egg group page clarifying that they are unable to breed with the rest of the group. [[User:FoggyMoor|FoggyMoor]] ([[User talk:FoggyMoor|talk]]) 18:10, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
:::{{cat|Genderless Pokémon|List}}.
:::My biggest problem with this is that it adds a ''third'' "Egg Group" to some Pokemon. I mostly think this classification from Stadium 2 could be mentioned on [[Egg Group]] and maybe [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] and that'd be fine.
:::Alternatively, however, I think it'd also be alright to just remove the "Other" column on this page and that'd address part of my own unease. After all, the point of these Pokemon is that they can only breed with Ditto anyway, it's not really important what their formal Egg Groups are. On other pages, that column makes plenty of sense; but not here. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 18:30, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
::::I agree one thousand percent on adding a note to Pokémon who are genderless on their own Egg Group pages. Like a little asterisk after their names stating that they cannot breed (I'd personally prefer genderless Pokémon to have their own separate table on those pages, but whatever). I think it's IMPERATIVE that such a distinction be made, because of how many times I go to one of those pages to look up potential "fathers" for my breeding and have to sift through Pokémon that cannot breed based on nothing but my memory. And sometimes it's not easy to remember that Golem has a gender and Cryogonal doesn't, and things like that. — [[User:Kianglo|KiANGLO]] [[User talk:Kianglo|TALK]] 05:30, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

'''Klefki''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''クレッフィ''' ''Cleffy'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Fairy}} Pokémon.

It is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
Klefki is a small, grayish-white Pokémon resembling a key ring with four keys on it. It has a spherical head with a white face and a small, pink oval on its forehead. Two black circles and a keyhole form its eyes and mouth. Below its head is its pink, teardrop-shaped body with a white marking in the middle. Extending from the top of its head is an appendage, which resembles an old-fashioned key with two wide, blunt teeth. A thin loop surrounds Klefki, and connects at either side of the "key". Hanging from the loop are various keys that this Pokémon has collected. If Klefki finds a key it likes, it will never release it. To threaten attackers, this Pokémon jingles its key collection. Klefki is the [[Signature move|only Pokémon]] capable of learning {{m|Fairy Lock}} and {{m|Crafty Shield}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Klefki anime.png|thumb|left|220px|Klefki in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Klefki made its debut appearance in the [[Pikachu short]] ''[[PK26|Pikachu, What's This Key?]]''.

A Klefki debuted in ''[[XY047|Dreaming a Performer's Dream!]]'', under the ownership of [[Monsieur Pierre]]. It usually holds onto {{DL|Pokémon Showcase|Princess Key}}s for Monsieur Pierre before they are awarded.

==In the manga==
[[File:Klefki Adventures.png|200px|thumb|right|Klefki in the [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
A wild Klefki debuted in the {{chap|X & Y}}, which [[Grace (Kalos)|Grace]] had befriended. It helped her break free from her cells numerous times, and later helped free the Vaniville Town residents by stealing the keys of a sleeping [[Team Flare Grunt]] and using them to open their cells.

This Klefki later acquainted itself with {{adv|X}} and his friends, giving X [[Clemont]]'s glasses and allowing him to deduce the location of Team Flare's base. He eventually set off without informing the others.

==Trivia==
* Klefki is the shortest {{type|Steel}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Klefki is based on a keychain, and possibly also the pagan tradition of blaming fairies for the loss of small objects, like shoes and keys.

It may also be based on the superstition of carrying an iron charm to ward off fae mischief.

====Name origin====
Klefki is a combination of ''clef'' (French for key) or a corruption of ''kleptomaniac'' (in reference to its habit of collecting keys) and ''key''.

Cleffy is derived from ''clef'' (French for key).

== Really a variation of Meteor Mash? ==

Its power, accuracy, and BP are the same. But they have different chances of their secondary effect (10% for Play Rough and 20% for {{m|Meteor Mash}}), and it's a different type of effect at that (Play Rough lowers an opponent's stat and Meteor Mash raises a user's stat). I think that makes them just barely too different to be variations, but what does everyone else think? — [[User:Kianglo|KiANGLO]] [[User talk:Kianglo|TALK]] 05:42, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

===[[Super Smash Bros.]] series===
{{SSB|Jigglypuff}} uses {{sbw|Pound}} as its neutral special move in [[Super Smash Bros.]] From [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] onwards, Pound is its side special move, with {{m|Rollout}} becoming its neutral special move. It is mainly used as an alternate recovery move, since its up special move, {{m|Sing}}, does not help Jigglypuff recover. The move is also useful for breaking shields in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]].

Kianglo:

==Elemental Hyper Beams==
In Gen. III, only Charizard, Venusaur and Blastoise could learn [[Blast Burn]], [[Frenzy Plant]] and [[Hydro Cannon]], respectively. The Johto starters could learn it too, but only by being traded from XD (just like [[Lugia]] and [[Psycho Boost]]). Should the 3 HB variations be included in this list, since other "former" signature moves are also included?--[[User:Darthrai|Darthrai]] 02:12, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
:Feel free to add it at the bottom of the page, but note that all the fully-evolved starters can learn them in Generation IV. [[User:LordArceus|LordArceus]] 00:11, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
::You know, there's not really too much of a point to replying to topics well over a month old. --[[User:Martonimos|((Marton]] [[User talk:Martonimos|imos))]] 00:23, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

==Skarmory?==
Should Skarmory with Steel Wing be included here? After all, it is the only Pokemon that can learn it naturally.
:That would be a good case to make. Question is, how many others do that? '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 03:14, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
::Hitmonlee with {{M|Mega Kick}} [[User:Zurqoxn|Zurqoxn]] 03:56, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
::And I'm sure there are more, like Hitmonchan and {{m|Vacuum Wave}}. I, too, am used to call moves "signature" when they're exclusive to few by leveling up. --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 16:55, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
What about [[Porygon-Z]] and [[Trick Room]]? Though Trick Room is a [[TM]], only Porygon-Z learns it naturally. [[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 17:55, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

What about [[Metagross]] and [[Meteor Mash]]?
--[[User:Mooshykris|Mooshykris]] 22:02, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

[[Clefairy]] learns [[Meteor Mash]], though...hardly exclusive...
--[[User:Myrmidon|Myrmidom]]

And [[Chimchar]] with [[Facade]], this is the same scenario as [[Trick Room]]. [[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 15:18, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

== Level-up otherwise exclusive to TMs? ==

Okay, I just wanted to organize what's been said above. What we have so far is...

== About evolved forms ==

Should stone-induced evolved forms be listed? {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Raichu}} appear in the article. However, the species that actually learns {{m|Volt Tackle}} is {{p|Pichu}} (making the [[Pokémon Battle Revolution#Colosseums|Battle Revolution Pikachu]] a [[Signature move#Trivia|trivia section]] material). If Raichu can appear in the list, then {{p|Togekiss}} and {{p|Mismagius}} should, too. --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 20:36, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
:No, I think that only the Pokémon that learns the move should be listed. So Pichu should be listed, but it's evolutions shouldn't. Only if the evolution learns the move then they an be listed. So both Cubone and Marowak learn Bonemerang, therefore both should be listed. [[User:Tesh|'''TESH''']][[User Talk:Tesh|'''TALK''']] 15:57, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

==Splash?==

Would [[Splash (move)|Splash]] be eligible for inclusion here? A bunch of Pokémon can learn the move nowadays, but back in Generation I it was very much [[Magikarp (Pokémon)|Magikarp]]'s trademark. A similar case is already included on the list (Petal Dance, which was exclusive to the Oddish line in Generation I). [[User:Bikini Miltank|Bikini Miltank]] 08:48, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

:You're right, according to the current status of the article. But I think that kind of moves shouldn't appear in the list. IMO, in any case, [[Generation III]] stuff is the only past generation that should be mentioned, as it's compatible with [[Generation IV]], but I still don't like the idea.
:I take it this all started with the ExtremeSpeed Dratini from the trivia section, right? Well, that Dratini is obsolete, too. I propose we get rid of ExtremeSpeed Dratini and there won't be need for the ExtremeSpeed Arcanine and the other obsolete groups. --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 16:18, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

NO! Lol, we should split this article into each Generation, with a trivia section for Pokémon that do not learn a move naturally. Like Dratini in GenII. I think this would be better. <big>[[User:Tesh|'''TESH''']][[User Talk:Tesh|'''TALK''']] [[User:Tesh/Other|'''FUN''']]</big> 16:20, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

:Yeah... one of the things I was going to suggest was listing the likes of Splash, ExtremeSpeed and so on in a seperate table, for moves that were once exclusive to a single line, but aren't anymore. I think these moves are certainly worth mentioning somewhere in the article, as they might still be relevant to someone who's playing any of the older games.

== Cleanup ==

This article NEEDS some cleanup... some signature moves don't make sense and some are in a lot of pokemon, so they should be removed. I think if a pokemon prior to Gen IV now learns a GEN IV move, it shouldn't be mentioned, 'cause it's obvious that another pokemon will learn the same move (for example Relicanth that learns [[Head Smash (move)|Cranidos' signature]]. in that case Relicanth should be removed).

==This page is in need of SERIOUS clean-up.==

Some moves are counted as signature when they're limited to one Pokémon. Some are counted when they're limited to two Pokémon. Some three Pokémon. Where's the limit? I think two families should be the most.(Branched families are fine.) I'd prefer only one family, but I'll accept anything, just agree on something.

Some moves are counted as "signature" if they're limited to one(or a few) Pokémon NATURALLY...other moves are counted if they're limited OVERALL. I think that TMs/HMs/tutors/"bonus" moves should not matter, Waterfall is still Goldeen and Seaking's signature move. I'd accept the other way too, but it needs to be CONSISTENT.

Not to mention a few of the asterisks are wrong...and some without asterisks could use some. Or it could be split to generations, but I think asterisks work just fine.

The Pikachu that knows Volt Tackle doesn't need to be in the one-off section. Yes, it's only Pichu's signature move...but Pikachus can normally learn it by evolving from Pichu! Pikachu shouldn't be in the table, that is correct, but it doesn't need to be in the one-off either. That should be for examples that COULD NOT happen otherwise, like the Dratini with ExtremeSpeed.[[User:Flint A|Flint A]] 20:09, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
:My opinion is that if a move can be learned by any or all of the Pokémon of '''one''' family naturally or by TM, it is a signature move. If a move is shared with an other family or it is a TM that can be used or a move tutor move that can be taught on more than the family in question, it is not a signature move. Event Pokémon are obviously excluded.

==GrassWhistle==
In GenerationIII, Roselia was the only one who could learn GrassWhistle by leveling up(to lv 29). There are many other pokemon that can learn it now in Generation IV, but it used to be a move unique only to Roselia(by level up). --[[User:PKFL 531|PKFL 531]] 01:38, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

==Removing moves==

Before I edit the actual page, I want to see if everyone agrees to this.

I was thinking of removing the following moves since they're "Signature" titles are questionable:

-----------------------
-{{m|Petal Dance}}

-{{m|Crush Claw}}

-{{m|Splash}}

-{{m|Super Fang}}

-{{m|Beat Up}}

-{{m|Pain Split}}

-{{m|FeatherDance}}

-{{m|Assist}}

-{{m|ExtremeSpeed}}

-{{m|Weather Ball}}

-{{m|Extrasensory}}

-{{m|Megahorn}}

-{{m|Waterfall}}

-{{m|Leaf Blade}}
--------------------------

Yes yes, I know that's quite a lot of moves to pick out. But let's be honest, These moves are a little too common to be "Signature" thanks to other Pokémon showing up or Pokémon learning said moves via Breeding, Level up, Move tutor, TM/HM etc.

If you don't agree with this, I'll ignore this. Or if you want only a specific move or two gone, I'll only get rid of those instead.- ''unsigned comment from {{u|Ninterror}} ([[User talk:Ninterror|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Ninterror|contribs]]) ''

Many of those moves are already noted as being signature moves prior to a Generation, as the person above said. However, Beat Up, Crush Claw, Pain Split, Feather Dance, Assist and Extrasensory, are different. They're signature moves in that only a select few Pokémon learn ''by level up'', but can be taught in other ways. In the "Other signature move examples" section, such things are noted, where a move is learned by more than one Pokémon but only by one by level up. I say we move the mentioned moves to a whole new section for "Level Up Signature Moves", where we list the signature moves if we go by moves learned through level and not by tutor or TM or breeding.

== Overhaul ==

Alright, I went for it and changed the main body to only refer to Generation IV signature moves. The list of former signature moves near the bottom might be better as some sort of table, but I'm not good at making tables and it wouldn't be like just copying the first table, as we'd need "unsignature" dates. Also, that list should not be considered comprehensive; it's just the ones that were there already plus the ones from the old list. There might be some missing.

The only controversial change I think is that I specifically limited signature moves to one evolutionary family only, but I seem to see quite a bit of support for that on the talk page and I feel it's the only sensible decision myself.

== "prior to gen ..." signature moves ==

If, according to te article, Signature moves are by definition only learned by either a single Pokémon or a small group of Pokémon, then a lot of the moves listed that say they were signature moves prior to a certain generation were still signature moves, (in cases such as extemespeed, for at least until the generation after) as the definition in no way implies that the pokémon that can learn it have to be related by evolution it just states either that the move can be learned only as a level up move and even then, only by a small number of Pokémon or that the move can only be learned by level up by a small number of pokémon (in which case almost all, if not all are still signature moves). because even though the way the definition is phrased it can be rephrased either way it most certainly can't be rephrased both ways because they are different from meanings from eachother but are synonyms to different definitions of the phrase that defines signature moves. [[User:Juarmo|Juarmo]] 05:07, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

==Ultimate Starter Type Moves==
techinically, the elemental hyper beams would be no less signature moves of the gen 1 starter evolutions in gen 3 than deoxys and its psycho boost (as purified shadow Lugia knew it). In fact, probably less of one as you catch the Lugia but you recieve the XD Jhoto starters from an event (albeit an in game one but still) also if Oddish and Glooms signature that ceased to be a signature by Gen 2 is on the list shouldn't arcanine and his extremespeed be on the list too. if i remember correctly dragon's den dratini didn't count towards extremespeed not still being arcanine's signature move in gen 2 so why should the XD Jhoto starters they're both in game events.

*Limited means: A few other pokes can learn it as well by leveling up or by breeding.
*LU exclusive means: The move is exclusive to a certain poke line by leveling up, but several other pokes can learn it by breading or tutoring.
*Common means: The move is now available to a plenty of pokes. Only mentioned if the move used to be exclusive.
*N/A means: it didn't exist that gen.

== My definition of 'Signature Move' ==

I say the definition should be "A move that a Pokémon is best known for." As a result, this means that a move that is common can be the signature move of another Pokémon (for example, Rollout can be learned by several different kinds of Pokémon, but Geodude's evolutionary family may have it as their signature move, because Graveler is said to use it often down mountains in Firered's description of it). Another example is Psycho Cut - Gallade would most likely have the attack as its signature move had this description of signature move been used. --[[User:Psyblade|Psyblade]] 18:43, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

:I think it's a very good point, however, Pokédex entries sometimes state misleading facts, such as Dusclops learning {{m|Hypnosis}}, which it actually can't.

== Current definition is SERIOUSLY flawed! ==

The current definition of signature move here is '''seriously''' flawed. The definition should be the move the Pokémon is most known for, not any random move that is exclusive to it. While at times moves that a Pokémon is most known for may also be exclusive to it (such as Smeargle's Sketch), that is not always the case. For example, even though Charizard was the only Pokémon able to learn Blast Burn prior to XD, Charizard is never shown using it in any Pokémon media; usually Charizard is shown using Flamethrower, and in the anime, Seismic Toss. Furthermore, Charizard is a Gen I Pokémon, and it is absurd to say that a Gen III move is its signature move, considering Charizard predates Gen III.

I really think the definition should be corrected here. [[User:Andros 1337|Andros 1337]] 00:05, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
:I don't think it's flawed at all. A signature move exclusive to that Pokémon. Meaning that the move can only be learned by that Pokémon. While Rollout is well know for a Miltank for example that doesn't make it a signature move. Sketch is a signature move because only one Pokémon can learn it and that is Smergle. This was discussed before. [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 00:09, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

:Random move? How is it a random move when it's '''a move that can only be learned by a single Pokémon or its family'''? Just because a certain move is showed off more by a certain Pokémon does not mean it's its signature. Signature refers to a Pokémon's exclusive move which means it can only be learned by a certain Pokémon or at a certain time.

:Your definition seems to be judged by what you have seen in the anime which is biased to all other media. All things should relate to the game which are used universally.

And again, the amount of times the move is shown in the anime has nothing to do with it.

I think you're not understanding here. Not all Pokémon have signature moves. A signature move is a move only that Pokémon or it's family can learn.

I'm REALLY liking the new template, but I think it could use a little more organization.

== V-create still a signature move? ==
Now that {{p|Rayquaza}} knows {{m|V-create}} via event (the same way that Victini learns it), is V-create still Victini's signature move, is it both Victini's and Rayquaza's, or is it not a signature move at all? Personally, I'd remove it from the list for now, since now it's a one-off move for both Victini ''and'' Rayquaza. --[[User:Darthrai|Darthrai]] 19:35, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

:You make a lot of sense, and I'd certainly wait for more people to weigh in. However, I think that the name of V-Create certainly points it to it being a signature move of Victini, since many things about Victini are closely associated with the letter ''V''. There isn't really a set standard to which we can hold a "signature move," so I think claiming its status as "debatable" is appropriate. --[[User:Politoed666|''P'' ''o'']] [[User talk:Politoed666|''L'' ''i'']] 20:27, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

::There's a bunch a moves on the list that are like that. Why change it now? Personally, I don't think we should change the status of a signature move just because of an event. They do that all the time. Like the Victini from the movie with Zekrom and Reshiram's moves and the Lugia from XD with Deoxys's move. Rayquaza cannot normally get that move and unless it is normal, then we shouldn't worry about it. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 00:22, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

::: Agreed - V-create was made for Victini (and I think that I made that clear on the page), but neither Victini nor Rayquaza can learn it through normal gameplay (both of them learn it via event). As for it being a signature move because it was made for Victini, I think {{m|Megahorn}} presents a similar case (though not to the same degree). It was made for {{p|Heracross}} in Generation II (why else would a generic horn attack be Bug-type?) until they made all sorts of other Pokémon, both old and new, able to learn it in future generations. Now, V-create is much more "characteristic" of Victini and probably won't become a widespread move, but having aesthetics and themes associated with a certain Pokémon doesn't seem like a criterion for being a signature move at the moment according to the page's description (we can always change it though). [[User:Darthrai|Darthrai]] 04:15, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
:::: I personally don't feel it applies to what the meaning of signature move is as it says it can be learned by level up '''or other means'''. Think of it this way. If Relic Song is given by event to another Pokémon, say Cresselia, does that mean it's not Meloetta's signature move anymore because it doesn't learn it by level up even though that's what changes its form? Some common sense should be used in these instead of following the definition so strictly. If the Pokémon itself has an obvious connection to the move we should take that into consideration. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 00:35, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

However, if Cresselia got the move via event, I'd still personally consider it Meloetta's signature move, since Meloetta obtains it on ''more'' favorable terms. Right now, Victini and Rayquaza both know V-create on ''equally'' favorable terms (a one-off move for both Pokémon); however, you're right that we should consider if the Pokémon has an obvious connection to the move, so we should make that clear.

To keep the definition firm, we cannot consider it to be Victini's signature move unless it learns it via a method other than event, like how we didn't consider it Victini's signature move until it was distributed with it. So what should happen is this; V-create should not be listed as a signature move of Victini, but it should most certainly be listed under "Other signature move examples". --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 14:54, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
Can I suggest that, perhaps, V-Create isn't a Signature Move, so much as an Event Move? It's a move that cannot be known by any pokemon except perhaps via an Event, at least at a certain point. Another example would be Volt Tackle, which, until the release of Pokemon Emerald, couldn't be learned by any pokemon, or Kinesis, which couldn't be learned by any pokemon until Pokemon Yellow. Note that an "Event Move" wouldn't necessarily have been released via Event, it's just that, without an event, it would be unavailable up to a certain time (this could include moves only found as egg moves up to a certain point, if any exist). And on a side note, if a pokemon uses Metronome, and then Smeargle Sketches it, will it learn Metronome, or the resulting move? I ask because, if Smeargle sketches the metronomed move, then it would be possible for it to sketch Volt Tackle in RS/FRLG, or V-Create in DP. [[User:Aielyn|Aielyn]] 15:19, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
:Another example of an Event move is a little more literal than the others - Snarl. At this time, it is only available through obtaining an Event Zoroark, and then breeding it to other pokemon from there. However, once another event, the Lock Capsule, is made available, it will be available as a TM... but still, it's an Event Move, since you need an event to access it in either case. [[User:Aielyn|Aielyn]] 06:56, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
:Those are more "delayed release moves" than "event" moves. And I don't think it is really that relevant (by your definition, {{m|Kinesis}} is both a signature move and an "event move"). And to answer your question, Smeargle will Sketch Metronome. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:48, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
::Isn't "delayed release" just another word for "event", in this context? After all, you can catch Mew in Emerald, but you can't do so until a delayed release event. When Ruby/Sapphire were released, one couldn't legitimately get Volt Tackle. Not knowing how they'd give you access to the move, wouldn't it be reasonable to consider it an event-exclusive move? That the "event" ended up being "the release of Emerald" is irrelevant to this point. And yes, Kinesis would be both an event move and a signature move - nothing wrong with that. It was an event move in Red/Blue, and then a signature move after that. Volt Tackle was an event move in RS/FRLG, and a signature move after that. V-Create is currently an event move. It may happen that, with the "third version" release, Victini will be able to learn V-Create by move tutor or level up, in which case it would be a signature move. Until the move can be "learned", it really can't be called a signature move. It is ''speculated'' that the move was made for Victini, but it's only speculation, it hasn't been confirmed. It's entirely possible that, come the next pokemon game, it will be Rayquaza that learns it naturally, and not Victini... would that make it a Rayquaza signature move? [[User:Aielyn|Aielyn]] 04:37, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
:::The reason I used "delayed release" over "event" is because event specifically refers to things only available via event distributions, which is not true of things like Kinesis and Volt Tackle. It is unreasonable to assume a move is an event move if it has not been released yet—those are "unreleased moves" ({{m|Sacred Sword}} and {{m|Relic Song}} of course are exceptions due to being triggered by events, and {{m|Snarl}} was as well before it was available due to the event TM). However, I'm not really sure how this "event move" argument is relevant here anyway. And Mew in Emerald is still event-exclusive. However, I agree with you that it is not currently a signature move, and that it may become one again in the next game. Also, I highly doubt Rayquaza will learn it outside of events if Victini doesn't—however, it is possible that if there is a move tutor, they would both be able to learn it. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:03, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
::::The relevance is that it gives an argument towards ''not'' including V-Create on this page. Indeed, I'd argue that, even prior to the event Rayquaza, it was not a Signature Move, because the move was only available through an event, and thus couldn't be reliably associated with Victini, even if Victini was the only one that had gotten it. Let me give you a hypothetical analogy. Suppose that, during Gen III, an event occurred for FRLG, where you got a Voltorb that knows Volt Tackle. Would that make Volt Tackle a Voltorb signature move? I mean, it has "Volt" in it, and only Voltorb would have it. I'd argue that, until the move is part of a pokemon's available moveset without an event, it cannot be a signature move.

==I'm sorry...==
...but your definition of "signature move" is seriously flawed. Any definition of the term that doesn't allow Transform and Moonlight to be categorized as Ditto and Umbreon's respective signature moves is just wrong. So what if there were few other Pokémon who learned it in the generation it was introduced on? We're too worried about following rules and guidelines to the point that we're sacrificing common sense. Everyone considers Transform to Ditto's signature move despite Mew (who is only a event Pokémon and thus didn't even exist for the average player back in the Gen I days) learning it, too. And considering that Espeon's signature move is Morning Sun, it's obvious that the developers intended Moonlight to be considered the signature move of his counterpart, Umbreon. - [[User:Ericss|Ericss]] 17:53, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

== Signature Move recovery ==

Ok, "Also, some of these moves can be passed down via breeding to other Pokémon or are known by certain event Pokémon." Well how about Signature Move recovery? Sometimes there's only one Pokémon able to learn a move in that generation: Skarmory and Steel Wing for exemple, but because many Pokémon can learn it in a previous generation it isn't a Signature Move. This means that if TM 47 hadn't existed in gen 3 and 4 but in gen 5, Steel Wing would've been Skarmory's Signature Move for two generations and it would've lost this status in gen 5. But now its reversed and so it means Steel Wing isn't Skarmory's Signature Move in any generation!? I personally don't think so. And by the way Mega Kick is Hitmonlee's Signature Move, but there many Pokémon able to learn it in Firered and Leafgreen. So that's why Steel Wing (still for exemple) has to be Skarmory Signature Move. [[User:Nickvang|Nickvang]] ([[User talk:Nickvang|talk]]) 14:40, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

== Do skill swap and steel wing really count as signature moves? ==

I think something should only be considered a signature more IF only one Pokémon or only the Pokémon from one evolutionary line can learn it since the beginning. But I wouldn't say that steel wing is really Skarmory's signature move since it was a TM earlier on. Yeah, it's no longer a TM, but that doesn't make it Skarmory's signature move all of a sudden.

Also regarding skill swap, that's also a move that used to be a TM, so I wouldn't say it's a signature move either. What do you guys think? [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] ([[User talk:TheBlazikenMaster|talk]]) 15:18, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
:Steel Wing is definitely a signature move, because even though it was a TM for several generations, Skarmory learned it by level up in all those generations as well, and was the ''only'' Pokemon to learn it by level up. If anything, I think it should be listed as Skarmory's signature move in Gen 2-5 instead of just 5. Skill Swap is a slightly trickier matter that will probably require a more refined definition of "signature move" to resolve satisfactorily one way or the other.
:Personally, I think we should refine the definition so that it doesn't matter if a plethora of Pokemon can learn a move by a "lower"/"less common" method (i.e. TMs, Move Tutors, events); as long as only one family can learn it by level up, that is its signature move. (And if nothing learns it by level up and only one thing learns it by another method, that's also a signature move, of course.) But that's just my opinion.

:::That's why I said Skill Swap (which is in the same boat) is a tricky matter. There should probably be a provision where widely/universally-available TMs like Return aren't signature moves unless the one Pokémon that learns it by level up has been able to learn it at least as long as the move has been a TM. On the other hand, something like Softboiled was obviously Chansey's signature move even in Gen 1, in which nothing learned it by level up and the TM was only learnable by Chansey and Mew (which, of course, can learn anything). Of course, those are both extremes on opposite sides of the spectrum, and examples that are somewhere in the middle (like Skill Swap) are more difficult to figure.

== A few things... ==

First... Why don't egg moves disqualify a signature move? Due to them, moves like Present and Beat Up are VERY widespread, compared to moves like Softboiled and Needle Arm that get disqualified for very small numbers of other Pokemon.
Second... Why does Volt Tackle count as a Pikachu signature when it can't learn it by any means itself? (It can only get it by evolving a Pichu that knows it <which should also qualify Raichu and a bunch of other families' Pokemon if this counts> or by events <which have been noted to generally not count>.)
Third... Why does Sacred Sword (and relatedly, Fusion Flare/Bolt) count as a signature move for the Swords of Justice (who aren't technically related by family) when Rolling Kick (which only Hitmonlee and Hitmontop, who are related, can learn, excluding egg moves) doesn't from Generation 2 onwards?
Fourth... Needle Arm isn't learned by anything other than Cacnea/Cacturne in Generation 4, either. (It's only marked as being signature in Generation 3.)
Fifth... Only the Whismur line learned Sleep Talk, except by breeding, in Ruby and Sapphire.

== Misplacing ==

Is there a reason why Jynx (#124) is placed after Magikarp (#129)? I searched the rest of the list and didn't see this error again. [[User:PokefanR|PokefanR]] ([[User talk:PokefanR|talk]]) 23:10, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

== outrage and dragonite ==

outrage was the dratini's family signature move in gen 2 and that isn't on the list [[User:0danmaster0|0danmaster0]] ([[User talk:0danmaster0|talk]]) 15:53, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
:By level-up, yes. Charmander and Larvitar can learn it by breeding, so I'm not sure how to categorize this. [[User:Bwburke94|Bwburke94]] ([[User talk:Bwburke94|talk]]) 07:46, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
::Breeding is ignored for signature moves. Because by that logic, eg. {{m|Pay Day}} would be signature only in G3-G4 (G1 has TM, G2 has breed from TM and G5 has breed), when it's signature since G2. [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] ([[User talk:Marked +-+-+|talk]]) 09:04, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

== Nuzzle ==

Would Nuzzle count as a pseudo signature as it can only be learned by Pikachu and it's imitators? [[User:Guybrush20X6|Guybrush20X6]] ([[User talk:Guybrush20X6|talk]]) 09:41, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
:That seems notable, I guess, but I'm going to say no. It's like how Glare is only learnable by snake-based Pokémon (excluding breeding). Since all those rodents are unrelated by evolution, it just comes down to specifics on how the move is actually used (description involves "electrified cheeks"). --[[User:Kianglo|KiANGLO]] ''([[User talk:Kianglo|TALK]])'' 15:22, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

== Definition ==

This article doesn't give a clear definition of what conditions we consider a move to be a signature move and what conditions we don't. All it says is that ''Most are learned by leveling up but some can be learned through other means when no Pokémon can learn the move by leveling up''. There's no addressing what disqualifies a signature move: do TMs? do Egg moves? do event moves? do all of these disqualify in all cases, or are there special circumstances? There's been a lot of disagreement on this talk page about what constitutes a signature move, so we need to actually state ''our definition'' in the article so it's clear to readers. I would do so myself, but I don't know what that definition is to me because {{tt|our criteria make no sense to me|Really, Soft-Boiled is disqualified from Gen I Chansey on this page because it's a TM, but there's no mention of ''since Generation II'' in Soft-Boiled's article?}}.

== Solosis line and Skill Swap? ==

Does Skill Swap really count as being a signature move for the Solosis line? Sure, they were the first ones to be able to learn it by level up, but many others could learn it through other means. Heck, the move itself appeared two generations before the Pokémon did. If no one has any objections, I think it should be removed. --[[User:RiverAura|River]][[User_Talk:RiverAura|Aura]] 00:16, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
:Yeah, it definitely doesn't fit since it can be taught by Move Tutor in the same Generation it's listed as being a signature move in. [[User:Glik|Glik]] ([[User talk:Glik|talk]]) 00:31, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

== Event moves... ==

Should Hold Back and Happy Hour really be considered signature moves? They're not naturally known by any Pokemon, and several moves that otherwise qualify as Signature moves on this list, such as Shift Gear, Spacial Rend and Fusion Bolt have been given to event Pokemon. The fact they're only known by 1 Pokemon seems meaningless since any Pokemon could (and in all probability, will) be given them. (And again, no Pokemon actually learns them naturally.)

Incidentally, the list of "One-off signature moves" is rather incomplete. (Being both outdated, and lacking some earlier ones like XD's Frenzy Plant/Blast Burn/Hydro Cannon Gen 2 starters.)

Given Egg Moves seem to be ignored, Whismur/Loudred/Exploud should have Sleep Talk as a signature move in Ruby/Sapphire and Spoink/Grumpig should have Magic Coat as a signature move in the entirety of Gen 3. If Hold Back and Happy Hour are deemed to be valid signature moves, then Snarl should be a signature move of Zoroark in Black/White since TM95 wasn't legitimately obtainable, and thus event Zoroark (or a trade back from BW2, which also shouldn't count, since otherwise it would disqualify things like Meowth's Gen 2 Pay Day) is the only Pokemon that can know it outside breeding in those games. [[User:RiverShock|RiverShock]] ([[User talk:RiverShock|talk]]) 23:54, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

:In order for a Pokémon to qualify as having a signature move, it must meet one of the following conditions: (1) It must be the only Pokémon (or Pokémon family) to learn the move (excluding Smeargle using Sketch), or (2) It must be the only Pokémon (or Pokémon family) to learn the move by Level Up. At the time of this writing, Celebi's Hold Back and Inkay's Happy Hour qualify them for condition #1. If a later event is released giving the move to a different Pokémon, then they will cease being signature moves, and they will be removed. If a later game is released where the moves are available to more Pokémon, the same will occur. Celebrate and V-Create are good examples of this. They are event-exclusive moves, but they are available to multiple evolution lines, with Celebrate being found on both Pikachu and Eevee (plus evolutions), and V-Create being available to both Victini and Rayquaza. Shift Gear, Spacial Rend, Fusion Bolt, etc. are considered signature moves because their users qualify for condition #2, they are the only Pokémon capable of learning the move through Level Up. Snarl on Zoroark was a signature move of Zoroark in Black/White, however, it isn't listed because we don't list things by games, we list them by generation, and the move is not exclusive to Zoroark when you look at Generation V as a whole - which would include Black 2/White 2. Meowth's Gen 2 Pay Day is a signature move because it qualifies for both conditions in Gen 2. --[[User:GoldenSandslash15|GoldenSandslash15]] ([[User talk:GoldenSandslash15|talk]]) 04:14, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
::Actually, GoldenSandslash, we do frequently list things by game instead of generation. See, for example, the Alakazam line's Kinesis in Yellow or Hitmonchan's Vacuum Wave in Diamond/Pearl. Also, your condition #2 is wrong; a TM is also enough to disqualify it, even if only one family can learn it by level up. (I strongly disagree with this criterion, but for some reason it exists.) In any case, I agree that TM95 being unobtainable in BW shouldn't make Snarl Zoroark's signature move, because if you do get a TM95 in BW somehow (tradeback or cheating), it is programmed to be compatible with tons of Pokemon, so it's ''technically'' in their movesets, and it's not programmed to be in Zoroark's level up moveset at all. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]])
:::TMs aren't tradeable in Gen 5, so there has never been (and never will be) a way to teach a Pokemon a move via TM95 in Black/White without cheating. The only way TM95's compatibility is referred to at all in Black/White is by breeding a tradeback or this Zoroark. (Or a Smeargle that Sketched from this Zoroark or a tradeback, I guess.) And breeding doesn't disqualify a signature move. Why should unobtainable moves in a Pokemon's potential learnset count towards disqualifying a signature move? [[User:RiverShock|RiverShock]] ([[User talk:RiverShock|talk]]) 17:39, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

== Bone/Rolling Kick thing ==

The removed fact was:
* Bone Club and Bonemerang are the only STAB signature moves throughout all 6 generations.

I don't think Rolling Kick counts because Machop, Hitmontop, and Elekid can learn it. Thus the Bone attacks are the only true signature moves. (IMO, the only signature egg move is Volt Tackle)

And in case someone says Kinesis, it does no damage, thus doesn't qualify for STAB. [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 22:43, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
:Regardless, Rolling Kick is still a signature move, "true" signature move or not. Once you try to add too many conditions to make a factoid seem unique, it just becomes not notable enough to add. --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen★]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|contribs)]]'' 22:56, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

== Discuss please: Move Tutor vs. level-up ==

It has come to my attention on the {{m|Electroweb}} page that, for some reason, we consider it Joltik/Galvantula's signature move in BW, not in B2W2, again in XY, and then not in ORAS, simply because of the B2W2 and ORAS move tutors. This is frankly ridiculous and makes no sense whatsoever. It was also pointed out that Hitmonlee's Mega Kick is also subject to this problem in Gen III.

The fact is that, in a post-Gen III world in which Pokémon can be and regularly are transferred forward and in which Move Tutor availability is extremely broad in some games and extremely narrow in others, the current criteria for signature moves are obscure, difficult to divine, and needlessly convoluted. The simple fact should be that if a Pokémon or evolutionary line is the only one who can learn a move (barring events), that should be its signature move, and if any other Pokémon can have legal access to it by any means (including intergenerational transfer), it should not be considered a signature move. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 19:32, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
:I've actually agreed with that for a while; the only reason I undid your edit was because those were the rules lol. Can we please change this? [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 20:12, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
::I think I both agree and disagree. I understand how it seems odd for Electroweb's status as a signature move to bounce back and forth, however that's not a particularly common occurrence, and I think it still fits in with the spirit of a signature move. After all, Audino had Secret Power as a signature move in Gen V, even though nearly any Pokémon could exist on those cartridges knowing that move through transfers. I disagree, then, that transfer availability disqualifies a move from being a "signature" move. I also think that the criteria for signature moves are in no way obscure or "difficult to divine", regardless of whether or not I agree with them. A move is a signature move 'in a particular game' if only one family of Pokémon—either evolutionary line or related Legendaries—can learn it without breeding. Transfers and events can be considered reasonable exceptions as they both require interaction outside the game itself (connection to another game or download server—conditions not pre-loaded onto the cartridge). Pretty clear-cut in my opinion. — [[User:Kianglo|KiANGLO]] [[User talk:Kianglo|TALK]] 04:19, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

Signature move

A '''signature move''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|専用技|せんようわざ}}''' ''exclusive move'') is a [[move]] that can only be learned by a single {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} or its [[evolution]]ary 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 {{m|Chatter}}) can be learned by {{p|Smeargle}} using {{m|Sketch}}, making Sketch and Chatter the only moves that are truly exclusive to one Pokémon legitimately. {{m|Hyperspace Fury}} could also be considered truly exclusive, as only {{p|Hoopa}} [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Hoopa|Unbound]] can execute it successfully. Also, some of these moves can be passed down via {{pkmn|breeding}} to other Pokémon or are known by certain [[event Pokémon]].

===TM/HM or Move Tutor that are exclusive by level-up===
* {{p|Squirtle}} and its evolutionary relatives are the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Skull Bash}}''' by leveling up in [[Generation I]], but other Pokémon could learn it through [[TM40]].
* {{p|Abra}} and its evolutionary relatives are the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Teleport}}''' by leveling up in [[Generation I]], but other Pokémon could learn it through [[TM30]].
* {{p|Sudowoodo}} is the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Mimic}}''' by leveling up in [[Generation II]], but other Pokémon could learn it through [[TM31]] in Generation I and [[Move Tutor]] in [[Generation III]].
* In [[Generation]]s {{gen|II}}, {{gen|IV}}, {{gen|V}} and {{gen|VI}} and {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}} is the only Pokémon who can learn '''{{m|Mega Kick}}'''. However, in Generation I and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, others could learn it through [[TM]] and Move Tutor respectively.
* '''{{m|Waterfall}}''' was the signature move of {{p|Goldeen}} and {{p|Seaking}} in Generation I, before it became an [[HM]]. They are still the only ones to learn it by level up.
* {{p|Unown}} can learn only '''{{m|Hidden Power}}''', and is the only Pokémon to learn it in Generation II; however, almost every other Pokémon can learn it via [[TM10]] in Generation II and beyond.
* Although several Pokémon can learn it by TM, until Generation III only {{p|Diglett}} and {{p|Dugtrio}} could learn '''{{m|Dig}}''' by level up.
* {{p|Sunflora}} is the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Bullet Seed}}''' by level up in Generation III, though other Pokémon could learn it through [[TM09]].
* Prior to [[Generation V]], {{p|Vigoroth}} is the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Focus Punch}}''' by leveling up, although many other Pokémon can learn it via [[TM01]].
* {{p|Porygon-Z}} is the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Trick Room}}''' by leveling up prior to [[Generation VI]], although that move could also be learned via [[TM92]].
* Almost every Pokémon is able to learn '''{{m|Facade}}''' via [[TM42]]. However, {{p|Chimchar}} is the only one to learn it by leveling up prior to Generation V.
* Although only {{p|Panpour}} and {{p|Simipour|its evolution}} are the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Scald}}''' by leveling up in Generation V, other Pokémon can learn it via [[TM55]].
** Also in Generation V only, {{p|Pansage}} is the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Grass Knot}}''' by leveling up, yet other Pokémon can learn it via [[TM86]].
* {{p|Kadabra}} and {{p|Alakazam}} are the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Ally Switch}}''' by leveling up, but other Pokémon can learn it through [[TM51]] in Generation V.
* {{p|Volbeat}} is the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Flash}}''' by leveling up, but other Pokémon can learn it through [[HM05]]/[[TM70]].
* {{p|Sawk}} is the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Rock Smash}}''' by leveling up, but other Pokémon can learn it through [[TM94]]/[[HM06]] in Generation V and VI.
* {{p|Emolga}} is the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Volt Switch}}''' by leveling up in Generation V, but other Pokémon can learn it through [[TM72]].
* {{p|Yveltal}} is the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Snarl}}''' (before {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}) or '''{{m|Focus Blast}}''' by leveling up, but other Pokémon can learn them via [[TM95]] and [[TM52]], respectively.
* {{p|Snorunt}} and {{p|Glalie}} are the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Frost Breath}}''' by leveling up (starting in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire), but other Pokémon can learn it via [[TM79]].
* {{p|Lucario}} is the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Power-Up Punch}}''' by leveling up, but other Pokémon can learn it via [[TM98]].

===Moves commonly associated with certain Pokémon===
* Although '''{{m|Megahorn}}''' was no longer {{p|Heracross}}'s signature move starting in [[Generation III]], it was still the only {{type|Bug}} Pokémon that could learn the move prior to [[Generation V]], where Megahorn is now learnable by {{p|Scolipede}}, {{p|Karrablast}} and {{p|Escavalier}}.
* {{p|Lucario}} is usually associated with '''{{m|Aura Sphere}}''' and '''{{m|Force Palm}}''', but ten Pokémon (including Lucario) can learn Aura Sphere in total plus two with {{p|Riolu}} from Almia and {{p|Raikou}} from an event, in addition to the {{p|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 {{p|Riolu}} can still learn it).
* {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Charizard}}, and {{p|Blastoise}} are often associated with '''{{m|Solar Beam}}''', '''{{m|Flamethrower}}''', and '''{{m|Hydro Pump}}''', respectively, due to them frequently being depicted using those moves in various Pokémon media (such as the anime).
** In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], {{p|Charizard}}'s trophy states that '''{{m|Flamethrower}}''' is its signature move.
* Electrode are most commonly seen using {{m|Explosion}}, with it being shown to use it most in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
* Although several Pokémon have been able to learn {{m|Sing}} since its introduction, the move is heavily associated with {{p|Jigglypuff}} due to the {{an|Jigglypuff}} in the anime.
* {{p|Jolteon}} and {{p|Vaporeon}}'s signature moves are said to be '''{{m|Pin Missile}}''' and '''{{m|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 {{pkmn|breeding}}. Likewise, {{p|Umbreon}}'s '''{{m|Moonlight}}''' matches {{p|Espeon}}'s '''{{m|Morning Sun}}''', though others can learn it even in its introductory generation.
* {{p|Suicune}}, being known as the Aurora Pokémon, is associated with the move '''{{m|Aurora Beam}}'''.
* Although {{p|Clefairy}} can learn '''{{m|Meteor Mash}}''' by leveling up in any Generation III game, the only Pokémon that could have it legitimately before release of {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} were {{p|Metang}} and its evolved form, {{p|Metagross}}.
* {{p|Ditto}} has '''{{m|Transform}}''' as its only move and is most associated with it; however, {{p|Mew}} is also able to learn it.
* Until Generation III, {{p|Koffing}} and {{p|Weezing}} were the only Poison-type Pokémon capable of learning '''{{m|Smog}}''', and are still the only Poison-type Pokémon to learn the move by level-up.
* The move '''{{m|Razor Shell}}''' is tied to {{p|Oshawott}}'s evolutionary line, although it can also be learned by {{p|Shellder}}.
* Although '''{{m|Blaze Kick}}''' was no longer {{p|Blaziken}}'s signature move from Generation III, it remains the only Fire-type Pokémon to learn it by level up.
* The {{p|Venipede}} family are the only Pokémon besides {{p|Golem}} which can learn '''{{m|Steamroller}}'''. They are also the only Bug-type Pokémon to learn it.
* {{p|Castform}} was the only Pokémon capable of learning '''{{m|Weather Ball}}''' prior to [[Generation IV]]. However, due to [[Shadow move]]s only being present in [[Generation III]], it remains the only Pokémon capable of taking advantage of Weather Ball's '''{{type|???}}''' effect during {{m|Shadow Sky}}.
* Each of {{p|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, '''{{m|Sacred Sword}}''' was exclusively learned by the [[Swords of Justice]], being a signature move of a Legendary group rather than an evolutionary family.
** Similarly, '''{{m|Fusion Flare}}''' and '''{{m|Fusion Bolt}}''' are exclusively learned by {{p|Reshiram}} and [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Kyurem|White]] {{p|Kyurem}}, and {{p|Zekrom}} and [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Kyurem|Black]] {{p|Kyurem}}, respectively. Kyurem's forms are the result of absorbing Reshiram or Zekrom, and thus gain some of their traits and powers.
* No Pokémon can learn '''{{m|V-create}}''' outside of event distributions. {{p|Victini}} was the first to gain access to it and is often associated with the move. However, later, a {{p|Rayquaza}} with V-create was available as the winner of a [[List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation V#15th Anniversary Rayquaza|popularity poll held in Japan in 2011]], making it no longer Victini's signature move.

==In the anime==
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, it is uncommon for specific moves to be explicitly stated to be exclusive to a certain Pokémon species. The concept was mentioned during a quiz challenge in ''[[DP126|Classroom Training!]]'', in which [[Candice]] stated that {{m|Pay Day}} could only be learned by {{p|Meowth}}.

==Trivia==
* {{p|Hitmonlee}} has had the most signature moves, with four in Generation II; however, only two of them are still Hitmonlee's signature moves. The other was also previously available to other Pokémon through [[TM]]s and [[Move Tutor]]s.
** The Pokémon with the most signature moves in Generation VI is {{p|Vespiquen}}, with three—{{m|Attack Order}}, {{m|Defend Order}}, and {{m|Heal Order}}—all of which are {{type|Bug}}.
* All [[Hoenn]] [[starter Pokémon]] could learn a signature move after evolution, although these moves can (from [[Generation IV]] onwards) be learned by other evolutionary families as well.
**All [[Kalos]] [[starter Pokémon]] can similarly learn signature moves after evolution, with {{p|Greninja}} even getting two.
* Due to {{p|Smeargle}}'s {{m|Sketch}} being able to copy signature moves, from Generation II onward the only moves that only one Pokémon can learn are Sketch itself, {{m|Shadow Chill}}, {{m|Shadow Bolt}}, {{m|Shadow Fire}}, {{m|Shadow Blast}}, and {{m|Chatter}}. This is because [[Shadow move]]s and Chatter cannot be Sketched.

Signature move

2016-06-08T04:01:20Z

Kianglo: Changed a few "only in" asterisks to "until", for consistency's sake. "Until" means it stopped being a sig move when tutors came to a gen, "only in" is for cases like Shellder and Icicle Spear.

[[File:Reshiram Zekrom Blue Flare Bolt Strike artwork.png|thumb|250px|Zekrom and Reshiram using Bolt Strike and Blue Flare, their signature moves]]
A '''signature move''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|専用技|せんようわざ}}''' ''exclusive move'') is a [[move]] that can only be learned by a single {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} or its [[evolution]]ary 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 {{m|Chatter}}) can be learned by {{p|Smeargle}} using {{m|Sketch}}, making Sketch and Chatter the only moves that are truly exclusive to one Pokémon legitimately. {{m|Hyperspace Fury}} could also be considered truly exclusive, as only {{p|Hoopa}} [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Hoopa|Unbound]] can execute it successfully. Also, some of these moves can be passed down via {{pkmn|breeding}} to other Pokémon or are known by certain [[event Pokémon]].

===TM/HM or Move Tutor that are exclusive by level-up===
* {{p|Squirtle}} and its evolutionary relatives are the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Skull Bash}}''' by leveling up in [[Generation I]], but other Pokémon could learn it through [[TM40]].
* {{p|Abra}} and its evolutionary relatives are the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Teleport}}''' by leveling up in [[Generation I]], but other Pokémon could learn it through [[TM30]].
* {{p|Sudowoodo}} is the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Mimic}}''' by leveling up in [[Generation II]], but other Pokémon could learn it through [[TM31]] in Generation I and [[Move Tutor]] in [[Generation III]].
* In [[Generation]]s {{gen|II}}, {{gen|IV}}, {{gen|V}} and {{gen|VI}} and {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}} is the only Pokémon who can learn '''{{m|Mega Kick}}'''. However, in Generation I and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, others could learn it through [[TM]] and Move Tutor respectively.
* '''{{m|Waterfall}}''' was the signature move of {{p|Goldeen}} and {{p|Seaking}} in Generation I, before it became an [[HM]]. They are still the only ones to learn it by level up.
* {{p|Unown}} can learn only '''{{m|Hidden Power}}''', and is the only Pokémon to learn it in Generation II; however, almost every other Pokémon can learn it via [[TM10]] in Generation II and beyond.
* Although several Pokémon can learn it by TM, until Generation III only {{p|Diglett}} and {{p|Dugtrio}} could learn '''{{m|Dig}}''' by level up.
* {{p|Sunflora}} is the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Bullet Seed}}''' by level up in Generation III, though other Pokémon could learn it through [[TM09]].
* Prior to [[Generation V]], {{p|Vigoroth}} is the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Focus Punch}}''' by leveling up, although many other Pokémon can learn it via [[TM01]].
* {{p|Porygon-Z}} is the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Trick Room}}''' by leveling up prior to [[Generation VI]], although that move could also be learned via [[TM92]].
* Almost every Pokémon is able to learn '''{{m|Facade}}''' via [[TM42]]. However, {{p|Chimchar}} is the only one to learn it by leveling up prior to Generation V.
* Although only {{p|Panpour}} and {{p|Simipour|its evolution}} are the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Scald}}''' by leveling up in Generation V, other Pokémon can learn it via [[TM55]].
** Also in Generation V only, {{p|Pansage}} is the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Grass Knot}}''' by leveling up, yet other Pokémon can learn it via [[TM86]].
* {{p|Kadabra}} and {{p|Alakazam}} are the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Ally Switch}}''' by leveling up, but other Pokémon can learn it through [[TM51]] in Generation V.
* {{p|Volbeat}} is the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Flash}}''' by leveling up, but other Pokémon can learn it through [[HM05]]/[[TM70]].

* {{p|Snorunt}} and {{p|Glalie}} are the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Frost Breath}}''' by leveling up (starting in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire), but other Pokémon can learn it via [[TM79]].
* {{p|Lucario}} is the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Power-Up Punch}}''' by leveling up, but other Pokémon can learn it.

===Moves commonly associated with certain Pokémon===
* Although '''{{m|Megahorn}}''' was no longer {{p|Heracross}}'s signature move starting in [[Generation III]], it was still the only {{type|Bug}} Pokémon that could learn the move prior to [[Generation V]], where Megahorn is now learnable by {{p|Scolipede}}, {{p|Karrablast}} and {{p|Escavalier}}.
* {{p|Lucario}} is usually associated with '''{{m|Aura Sphere}}''' and '''{{m|Force Palm}}''', but ten Pokémon (including Lucario) can learn Aura Sphere in total plus two with {{p|Riolu}} from Almia and {{p|Raikou}} from an event, in addition to the {{p|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 {{p|Riolu}} can still learn it).
* {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Charizard}}, and {{p|Blastoise}} are often associated with '''{{m|Solar Beam}}''', '''{{m|Flamethrower}}''', and '''{{m|Hydro Pump}}''', respectively, due to them frequently being depicted using those moves in various Pokémon media (such as the anime).
** In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], {{p|Charizard}}'s trophy states that '''{{m|Flamethrower}}''' is its signature move.
* Electrode are most commonly seen using {{m|Explosion}}, with it being shown to use it most in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
* Although several Pokémon have been able to learn {{m|Sing}} since its introduction, the move is heavily associated with {{p|Jigglypuff}} due to the {{an|Jigglypuff}} in the anime.
* {{p|Jolteon}} and {{p|Vaporeon}}'s signature moves are said to be '''{{m|Pin Missile}}''' and '''{{m|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 {{pkmn|breeding}}. Likewise, {{p|Umbreon}}'s '''{{m|Moonlight}}''' matches {{p|Espeon}}'s '''{{m|Morning Sun}}''', though others can learn it even in its introductory generation.
* {{p|Suicune}}, being known as the Aurora Pokémon, is associated with the move '''{{m|Aurora Beam}}'''.
* Although {{p|Clefairy}} can learn '''{{m|Meteor Mash}}''' by leveling up in any Generation III game, the only Pokémon that could have it legitimately before release of {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} were {{p|Metang}} and its evolved form, {{p|Metagross}}.
* {{p|Ditto}} has '''{{m|Transform}}''' as its only move and is most associated with it; however, {{p|Mew}} is also able to learn it.
* Until Generation III, {{p|Koffing}} and {{p|Weezing}} were the only Poison-type Pokémon capable of learning '''{{m|Smog}}''', and are still the only Poison-type Pokémon to learn the move by level-up.
* The move '''{{m|Razor Shell}}''' is tied to {{p|Oshawott}}'s evolutionary line, although it can also be learned by {{p|Shellder}}.
* Although '''{{m|Blaze Kick}}''' was no longer {{p|Blaziken}}'s signature move from Generation III, it remains the only Fire-type Pokémon to learn it by level up.
* The {{p|Venipede}} family are the only Pokémon besides {{p|Golem}} which can learn '''{{m|Steamroller}}'''. They are also the only Bug-type Pokémon to learn it.
* {{p|Castform}} was the only Pokémon capable of learning '''{{m|Weather Ball}}''' prior to [[Generation IV]]. However, due to [[Shadow move]]s only being present in [[Generation III]], it remains the only Pokémon capable of taking advantage of Weather Ball's '''{{type|???}}''' effect during {{m|Shadow Sky}}.
* Each of {{p|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, '''{{m|Sacred Sword}}''' was exclusively learned by the [[Swords of Justice]], being a signature move of a Legendary group rather than an evolutionary family.
** Similarly, '''{{m|Fusion Flare}}''' and '''{{m|Fusion Bolt}}''' are exclusively learned by {{p|Reshiram}} and [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Kyurem|White]] {{p|Kyurem}}, and {{p|Zekrom}} and [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Kyurem|Black]] {{p|Kyurem}}, respectively. Kyurem's forms are the result of absorbing Reshiram or Zekrom, and thus gain some of their traits and powers.
* No Pokémon can learn '''{{m|V-create}}''' outside of event distributions. {{p|Victini}} was the first to gain access to it and is often associated with the move. However, later, a {{p|Rayquaza}} with V-create was available as the winner of a [[List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation V#15th Anniversary Rayquaza|popularity poll held in Japan in 2011]], making it no longer Victini's signature move.

==In the anime==
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, it is uncommon for specific moves to be explicitly stated to be exclusive to a certain Pokémon species. The concept was mentioned during a quiz challenge in ''[[DP126|Classroom Training!]]'', in which [[Candice]] stated that {{m|Pay Day}} could only be learned by {{p|Meowth}}.

==Trivia==
* {{p|Hitmonlee}} has had the most signature moves, with four in Generation II; however, only two of them are still Hitmonlee's signature moves. The other was also previously available to other Pokémon through [[TM]]s and [[Move Tutor]]s.
** The Pokémon with the most signature moves in Generation VI is {{p|Vespiquen}}, with three—{{m|Attack Order}}, {{m|Defend Order}}, and {{m|Heal Order}}—all of which are {{type|Bug}}.
* All [[Hoenn]] [[starter Pokémon]] could learn a signature move after evolution, although these moves can (from [[Generation IV]] onwards) be learned by other evolutionary families as well.
**All [[Kalos]] [[starter Pokémon]] can similarly learn signature moves after evolution, with {{p|Greninja}} even getting two.
* Due to {{p|Smeargle}}'s {{m|Sketch}} being able to copy signature moves, from Generation II onward the only moves that only one Pokémon can learn are Sketch itself, {{m|Shadow Chill}}, {{m|Shadow Bolt}}, {{m|Shadow Fire}}, {{m|Shadow Blast}}, and {{m|Chatter}}. This is because [[Shadow move]]s and Chatter cannot be Sketched.

The question, is this programmed into the games? Far as I knew, the egg groups are taken from the actual game programming, and the Pokémon that are genderless can't breed with anything but Ditto. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 02:08, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

==Remove genderless Pokemon from other egg group pages?==
Yes or no? [[User:MathijsP|MathijsP]] 09:35, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
:No. They're in those egg groups according to the game programming. This page exists because Nintendo knew there'd be a bunch of people writing letters and saying "Y CANT MY MAGENMIT BRED W/ MY STELIX?!", and so listed the genderless breeders separately in Stadium 2.

== Trivia ==

The trivia section states that all members belong only to this group, yet they are still listed among the other egg groups as well. ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|'''$aturn''']][[User:SaturnYoshi|'''¥oshi''']] [[User talk:SaturnYoshi|THE VOICES]] 14:29, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
:That's because they ''are'' in the other groups. This comes from stupid Stadium 2's stupid classification because Pokémon fans have demonstrated [[the truck|time]] and [[Form differences#Shaymin|again]] that there's nothing dumber than we are. They likely made up that listing because they didn't want people to be whining about not being able to breed their Onix with a Magneton.

== Rotom, Manaphy/Phione ==

According to the pages, Manaphy/Phione is also in the Water1/Fairy groups, and Rotom is in the Indeterminate group. If these truly belong as part of this egg group, they need to be put in a separate table for "also in other groups".[[User:KrytenKoro|KrytenKoro]] 19:03, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
:Here's the thing. The "Gender unknown" egg group is simply a listing of the breedable Pokémon which lack genders, because Nintendo thought people were stupid and would attempt to breed Onix and Magnemite. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 22:35, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Shouldn't this article be called Gender unknown Pokémon rather than than Gender unknown (egg group)?? why is it an egg group from the first place?--[[User:Wowy|Wowy]] 08:33, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

:Stadium 2 listed genderless Pokémon who were able to breed (only with Ditto) as a distinct egg group. This article is a reflection and extension of that. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 15:13, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

== Hey guys. ==

Why is this listed as part of the total of egg groups (16), if {{type|???}} isn't listed as part of the total of types (17)?

Could it be that... a der, the ???-type is just like this egg group: a side note. So. I'm saying in the other articles, only count 15 egg groups, mention, like the ???-type, that this is a "special" grouping, but ''not count it''. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 09:45, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

== Deletion ==

This does not appear to have been discussed in more than half a decade, so I think our standards have tightened enough since then that it's worth a second look at this page.

(1) First and foremost, since this does not actually exist in any game except Stadium 2, I think this should be deleted and simply mentioned in the Stadium 2 article. At the very least, even if this page isn't deleted, we need to demote it so it isn't mentioned as if it was a normal Egg Group and so it doesn't appear in the Egg Group navigation box. It isn't a real group, and it doesn't appear in the games' programming, so I really feel it's even less canonical than the {{t|Bird}} type, which at least ''was'' actually programmed in even if it was scrapped before release.

(2) On a separate note, since this seems to have only existed in Stadium 2, why have we been adding all the genderless breedable Pokémon that have been introduced in Generation III and beyond??? If it's true that this group only existed in Stadium 2, then ''all those Pokémon have never belonged to this group'' and should in no conceivable way be on this list. This is a ridiculous fanonical overexpansion, and if this page remains I really feel like it should cover ''only'' what is official — the Pokémon that Stadium 2 listed in it.

That's my soapbox. Sorry if it was a bit of a rant. Please discuss. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 06:41, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

:While I fully understand where you're coming from, I think that genderless breedable Pokémon need to be differentiated in some way. While we're on this topic, I don't like how they're mixed in among other members of their own egg group (such as Mineral), giving them the illusion that they can breed with other members of that group, when they can't.

What I think would be a fair solution is to delete this page (but perhaps create a "list" page that contains all the Pokémon seen here), and on the individual egg group pages that contain genderless Pokémon, sort them out into a separate table at the bottom. — [[User:Kianglo|KiANGLO]] [[User talk:Kianglo|TALK]] 07:11, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

Kianglo: /* Moon weak to Dark? */

==Russian name==
Hello could someone add that this line to the in other languages section?

|ru=Лунала ''Lunala''|rumeaning=Transcription of English name

--[[User:Raltseye|Ralts]][[User talk:Raltseye|eye]] 13:49, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
==Name Origin==
Given that this Pokemon has that collar thing similar to dracuLA, the "La" in it's name may also be derived from that.
Luna - latin for moon
+ La - dracuLA

[[User:Steamygoreng|Steamygoreng]] ([[User talk:Steamygoreng|talk]]) 22:44, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
:Given it's clearly based on a bat, this seems plausible to me as well. -- [[User:Kianglo|KiANGLO]] [[User talk:Kianglo|TALK]] 06:56, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
::"la" is hardly an iconic part of "Dracula". That's not enough to say with any real confidence that that's part of the name. (And the other stuff isn't strongly evocative of Dracula/vampires either.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 07:05, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

== Moon weak to Dark? ==

Is it worth mentioning in the trivia section that despite being based off of the moon, Lunala has a double weakness to Dark-type moves? I know Dark-type is referred to as Evil-type in Japanese, but still, is that worth mentioning? --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 18:35, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
:I would say no. There's no reason something moon-based CAN'T be weak to Dark. After all, {{p|Lunatone}} is as well. -- [[User:Kianglo|KiANGLO]] [[User talk:Kianglo|TALK]] 02:51, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

Color Change (Ability)

2016-06-05T02:48:46Z

Kianglo: Added clarifying bits about Fire/Electric moves and burn/paralysis, as Fire-types are immune to burn from Gen V onward and Electric types to paralysis from Gen VI.

'''Color Change''' (Japanese: '''へんしょく''' ''Color Change'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. It is the [[signature Ability]] of {{p|Kecleon}}.

==Effect==
===In battle===
====Generations III and IV====
When a Pokémon with this Ability is hit by a damage-dealing move (except {{m|Struggle}} and [[Shadow move]]s), Color Change will change the Pokémon's own type to the type of the move that it was hit by. Color Change does not activate if the Pokémon's {{m|substitute}} is hit.

Even if the Pokémon with Color Change has two types, it will only have a single type after the effect is applied. If a Pokémon with this Ability is hit by {{m|Weather Ball}} during [[shadowy aura]], it will become {{type|Normal}}.

Color Change will activate after the first hit of a [[multi-strike move]]. {{m|Future Sight}} and {{m|Doom Desire}} do not activate Color Change.

[[Status condition]]s are inflicted before Color Change activates.

====Generation V====
Color Change now activates after the last hit of a multi-strike move.

{{m|Future Sight}} and {{m|Doom Desire}} now activate Color Change when they hit (they do not activate Color Change when used).

A Pokémon with Color Change can be [[burn|burned]] by a {{type|Fire}} move, as the secondary effect activates before the ability.

====Generation VI====

A Pokémon with Color Change can be [[paralysis|paralyzed]] by an {{type|Electric}} move, as the secondary effect activates before the ability.

===Outside of battle===
Color Change has no effect outside of battle.

==Trivia==
* Inferno is the only non-[[status move]] that has a 100% chance of burning the target under normal conditions. The only other move with the same possibility is {{m|Fling}}, but in its case, burn is only achieved if the user is holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Flame Orb}}.
*Inferno has the lowest [[accuracy]] of all the {{type|Fire}} [[move]]s.

Kianglo: /* Paralysis before Colour Change? */

== Paralysis before Colour Change? ==

The article for [[Inferno (move)#Effect|Inferno]] notes that Inferno will cause a burn before [[Color Change|Colour Change]] takes effect. From Generation VI onwards Electric-type Pokémon are now immune to paralysis - do we know if Zap Cannon causes paralysis before Colour Change changes the opponent's type to Electric? --[[User:Poppy Appletree|Poppy]] [[User talk:Poppy Appletree|:3]] 15:16, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
:Color Change activates after a status condition is inflicted according to the Ability's page. Since Inferno's page mentions burns prior to Ability activation, I don't see the harm of it being mentioned in Zap Cannon's page as well. [[User:Berrenta|Berrenta]] ([[User talk:Berrenta|talk]]) 16:47, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
::Is this really something that belongs on this page? Doesn't this apply to other moves as well? For example, if Thunder hits its 30% chance of paralysis against a Pokémon with Color Change, won't the paralysis take effect before the type change there as well? If that's the case, I feel that it's a detail that should just go on the Color Change page and not here, since it's not unique to this move. -- [[User:Kianglo|KiANGLO]] [[User talk:Kianglo|TALK]] 07:22, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
