Revision as of 20:26, 14 July 2019
In the Pokémon anime, there will often come up a Pokémon that knows a move it cannot learn legitimately in any of the games.
It is unknown whether these instances are actual mistakes, a writing policy of not having to stick to the games too closely, or merely the Pokémon using an attribute that shares the name of a move in the games. In Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!, Professor Oak states that in times of need, Pokémon can call upon power that had never been known to them previously, such as Ash's Bulbasaur learning Dig.
List of anime Pokémon with moves that they cannot learn in the games
Japanese version only
Artwork | Name | Move | First use | Notes | Picture |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Ash's Starly | Gust | Two Degrees of Separation! | Changed to Whirlwind in the dub, a move that Starly can learn. However, after he evolved into Staravia, he began using Gust in the dub as well. | ||
Ash's Tranquill | Wing Attack | An Amazing Aerial Battle! | In the dub, Ash merely commanded Tranquill to "attack now", without specifying a move. | ||
Celosia's Manectric | Scratch | Meeting at Terminus Cave! | In the dub, Celosia tells Manectric to "Go after it!" |
Mentioned only
Artwork | Name | Move | First use | Notes |

Dub only
Artwork | Name | Move | First use | Notes | Picture |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Ash's Bulbasaur | Whirlwind | The Ninja Poké-Showdown | This was a dubbing error, as Whirlwind's Japanese name is ふきとばし Blow Away. Ash was telling Bulbasaur to simply "blow it away" in the Japanese version rather than commanding the actual move. | ||
Brock's Vulpix | Agility | The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis | Quick Attack in the Japanese version, a move that Vulpix can learn. | ||
Morty's Gastly | Confusion | From Ghost to Ghost | No command given in the Japanese version, most likely a dubbing error. | ||
Ash's Totodile | Skull Bash | Dueling Heroes | Headbutt in the Japanese version, a move that Totodile can learn. | ||
Ritchie's Cruise | Take Down | The Mystery is History | Headbutt in the Japanese version, a move that Pupitar can learn. | File:Cruise Take Down.png | |
Hun's Steelix | Bite | The Legend of Thunder! | Crunch in the Japanese version, a move that Steelix can learn. | ||
Ash's Heracross | Fury Swipes | The Ties That Bind! | Fury Attack in the Japanese version, a move that Heracross can learn. | ||
Harrison's Steelix | Wrap | Playing with Fire! | Bind in the Japanese version, a move that Steelix can learn. |
Artwork | Name | Move | First use | Notes | Picture |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Surskit | Tackle | Dewpider Ascending! | Being a wild Pokémon, this Surskit's attack was not identified out loud in either the original or dub version of Dewpider Ascending!. However, the English version's closed captions identified the move as Tackle. |
Former errors
Artwork | Name | Move | First use | Notes | Picture |
