Revision as of 16:11, 25 October 2008
In the Pokémon anime, there will often come up a Pokémon that knows a move it cannot learn legally in any of the games. It is unknown whether these 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.
It should also be noted that occasionally Nintendo will make available Pokémon that can be transferred onto the games with a move that is not normally included in that Pokémon's moveset (a prime example being Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire, which gave away four separate Pokémon with moves that were not normally available to that specific Pokémon).
List of anime Pokémon with moves they can't learn in the games
Less blatant examples
- During Caterpie's battle with Pidgeotto in EP003, Ash tells Caterpie to use Counter; however, Caterpie cannot learn Counter, yet this doesn't stop it from attempting (and failing) to use it anyway.
- In EP037, Duplica tells her Ditto to use Constrict on Ash's Bulbasaur after Transforming into said Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur cannot learn Constrict by any means. However, Ditto obeyed, implying that Ash's Bulbasaur may know Constrict.
- In EP050, Misty gets stuck with Psyduck in her battle with Ash. Ash doesn't battle seriously and has Bulbasaur simply lick Psyduck's head and tickle it with its vines. This is not to be confused with the actual moves Lick and Tickle, the latter of which was later introduced in Generation III. Bulbasaur still cannot learn Lick or Tickle. It is worth noting, however, that Ash's specific words were "Use the Tickle attack!".
- In EP075, Mandi's Golbat uses a move that the announcer calls Double Team, but more closely resembles Teleport (which of course, Golbat cannot learn).
- In EP271, a Steelix uses Wrap. Steelix cannot learn Wrap, but it can learn Bind (a slightly less accurate version of Wrap with the same effect).
- In AG016, Roxanne commands her Nosepass to use Hyper Beam which it cannot in the game. However in the dub these errors were picked up on, and the references to Hyper Beam were replaced with Thunder Wave and Zap Cannon (which can be learned by Nosepass).
- In AG170, Anabel's Espeon uses Zap Cannon, which, though impossible to have in Generation III or IV, was available to teach to Espeon by TM07 in Generation II.
- In DP028, some Drifloon were used to fly around the area. However, they did not use the actual move Fly (which is just as well, as they are unable to learn said move). The Pokédex specifically states that Drifloon can't carry the weight of children anyway.
- In DP060, the fact that Bronzor cannot learn Teleport was also picked up by the producers of the dub, and the appearance of it using Teleport was cut from the episode.
- A group of Combee in DP032 appear to be using Psybeam, however, this is actually the anime representation of Vespiquen's Attack Order.
- DP071 and DP072 feature a Riolu that can use Aura Sphere. This is due to its unique ability to manipulate aura prior to evolution. This episode is directly based on a mission from Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia featuring a similar Riolu. This is the only way a Riolu that knows Aura Sphere is available in the games.
- In DP081, Paul's Ursaring uses Headbutt. While Headbutt was available to Ursaring in Generation II as a TM move, Ursaring cannot learn Headbutt in Generation III or Generation IV.
