In the {{pkmn|games}}, there will occasionally be a Pokémon that knows a '''move it cannot know''' when owned by the player. It is unknown whether most of these are actual mistakes on the part of the developers.

| For a portion of the first day of this round of the Wild Area News for April 28 to May 11, 2020, 1★ Drilbur raids originating from Shield came with the illegal move {{m|Hydro Pump}}. The same raids for the rest of the event's duration, or from Sword, came with the correct move, {{m|Scratch}}. Players who caught a Drilbur with Hydro Pump cannot trade or battle online with it unless that move is forgotten; after doing so, it cannot be relearned.


====Unobtainable combinations of moves====
These erroneous Drilbur otherwise function like other Drilbur, and can evolve into {{p|Excadrill}} with Hydro Pump. Additionally, while [[Dynamax]]ed, these Drilbur and Excadrill also have access to {{m|Max Geyser}}, which is typically unobtainable as neither can legitimately learn any {{t|Water}}-type attacks.
Due to mothers being able to pass down [[Egg Move]]s from [[Generation VI]] onward, all Egg Move combinations are possible from Generation VI onward.

Alolan Sandshrew and Sandslash in Pokémon HOME, Sword, or Shield with illegal moves had their moves replaced with moves from their level-up movepool on November 16, 2020, opening Pokémon HOME at any point between that date, and the release of HOME v3.0.0 would cause HOME to search all Sword and Shield savefiles on the console and correct the illegal movesets.

| Alolan Vulpix and Ninetales transferred from Pokémon GO to Pokémon HOME from November 11 to November 16, 2020, erroneously use the level-up learnset of their Kantonian counterparts from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. Alolan Vulpix and Ninetales in Pokémon HOME, Sword, or Shield with illegal moves had their moves replaced with moves from their level-up movepool on November 16, 2020, opening Pokémon HOME at any point between that date, and the release of HOME v3.0.0 would cause HOME to search all Sword and Shield savefiles on the console and correct the illegal movesets.
 
Players who transferred an Alolan Vulpix or Ninetales with any of these illegal moves cannot trade or battle online with it unless that move is deleted. These erroneous Alolan Vulpix and Ninetales otherwise function like other Alolan Vulpix and Ninetales, with Alolan Vulpix from GO being able to evolve into an Alolan Ninetales with level-up moves that are otherwise only in Kantonian Vulpix's movepool, such as Flamethrower and Fire Blast. Additionally, while [[Dynamax]]ed, these Alolan Vulpix and Alolan Ninetales also have access to {{m|Max Flare}}, which is typically unobtainable as neither can legitimately learn any {{t|Fire}}-type attacks. However, both Alolan Vulpix and Alolan Ninetales can use {{m|Max Flare}} by using {{m|Weather Ball}} powered up into a [[Max Move]] if it is [[Harsh sunlight|sunny]], though this is considered an extension of {{m|Max Strike}}.

====Moves known at an early level====
====Moves known at an early level====
Due to the [[Move Reminder]] being able to teach moves the Pokémon would learn at higher levels in [[Generation VII]], all moves can be taught at any levels in [[Generation VII]].
Breedable, gendered Pokémon can learn a level-up move by {{pkmn|breeding}} if both parents know it.
{| class="roundy sortable" style="margin:auto; background: #{{status color light}}; border: 3px solid #{{status color}}"
 
Because the [[Move Reminder]] allows moves to be taught at any level in [[Generation VII]], all Pokémon can know any of their Generation VII level-up moves at any level. Unless explicitly mentioned otherwise, all examples from Generation VI or earlier are legal at any level in Generation VII.

[[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]<br><small>'''(Can be imported to Pokémon Sword and Shield)'''</small>
| Alolan Vulpix and Ninetales transferred from Pokémon GO to Pokémon HOME from November 11 to November 16, 2020, erroneously use the level-up learnset of their Kantonian counterparts from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], allowing them to learn the normally unavailable move Quick Attack. Alolan Vulpix and Ninetales in Pokémon HOME, Sword, or Shield with illegal moves had their moves replaced with moves from their level-up movepool on November 16, 2020, opening Pokémon HOME at any point after that date will cause HOME to search all Sword and Shield savefiles on the console and correct the illegal movesets.
 
Players who transferred an Alolan Vulpix or Ninetales with Quick Attack cannot trade or battle online with it unless that move is deleted. These erroneous Alolan Vulpix and Ninetales otherwise function like other Alolan Vulpix and Ninetales, with Alolan Vulpix from GO being able to evolve into an Alolan Ninetales.
 
Alolan Vulpix and Ninetales were unable to learn Quick Attack until the release of [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], where both learn the move starting at level 5, however they cannot exit Legends: Arceus and retain that move, as Pokémon HOME stores unique movesets for each compatible game. If deposited into {{g|Sword and Shield}}, it would gain four moves from its level-up movepool in Sword and Shield, losing access to Quick Attack.

| In 5★ [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, female Indeedee has an identical moveset to its male counterpart, which erroneously included the move Trick Room, a move it could not normally learn. When caught, female Indeedee with Trick Room were permitted to be [[trade]]d online, and participate in the [[Battle Stadium]].
 
Additionally, while Female Indeedee 5★ raids were initially impossible to host online to other players (displaying an error message when attempting to join them), as of early December 2022 they began permitting other players to host them freely with Trick Room still present in the moveset, despite it still being an error move at the time.
 
This is currently the only instance of an error move obtainable by the player where the error was corrected by the developers simply allowing it, and eventually integrating it as a feature. As of v2.0.1 of Scarlet and Violet, instead of correcting the erroneous move, [[Game Freak]] instead patched the game to add Trick Room to Female Indeedee's [[TM]] learnset, effectively rendering it no longer an "error move". However, if the move is forgotten, it can not be relearned without using a TM.

Because the [[Move Reminder]] allows moves to be taught at any level in [[Generation VII]], all Pokémon can know any of their Generation VII level-up moves at any level. Unless explicitly mentioned otherwise, all examples from Generation VI or earlier are legal at any level in Generation VII.

As part of the August 19, 2016 server update, all moves of that type were removed from their respective Pokémon's move pools. However, later updates introduced additional cases where Pokémon can have moves that they cannot know in the core series games.
 
The following table lists moves that have been removed from the Pokémon's permanent move pools. Unlike most other legacy moves, and with the exception of {{m|Stomp}} for {{p|Hitmonlee}}, these moves cannot be learned using an [[Elite Fast TM]] or [[Elite Charged TM]].

Reason: missing some game images

In the games, there will occasionally be a Pokémon that knows a move it cannot know commonly referred to as an illegal move, when owned by the player. It is unknown whether most of these are actual oversights on the part of the developers.

Pokémon with unobtainable movesets in the core series games

Unobtainable for the generation

Unobtainable moves

Artwork Name Move Game Notes Picture
149Dragonite.png Lance's Dragonite Barrier Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue
Pokémon Red and Blue
Dragonite cannot know Barrier until Generation VI, in which a Dragonite based on Lance's that knows Barrier was distributed.

303Mawile.png Gentleman ピエール's Mawile (Trainer Hill 4F) Comet Punch Pokémon Emerald (Japanese) In the Japanese version of Pokémon Emerald only, the layout of Trainer Hill can be customized by scanning e-Reader cards.

This Trainer and their Mawile will appear if and only if exactly seven such cards have been scanned, regardless of which cards they are, so that an eighth default Trainer needs to be added to fill out the roster with two Trainers per floor.

158Totodile.png Battle Hall Totodile Brine Pokémon Platinum, Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Battle Hall Totodile Brine PtHGSS.png
315Roselia.png Battle Hall Roselia Sludge Pokémon Platinum, Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver It was likely intended to be Sludge Bomb, a move which Roselia can know. Battle Hall Roselia Sludge PtHGSS.png
347Anorith.png Battle Hall Anorith Stone Edge Pokémon Platinum, Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Anorith's evolution, Armaldo, can learn Stone Edge. Battle Hall Anorith Stone Edge PtHGSS.png
007Squirtle.png Ace Trainer Nick's Squirtle (Union Cave B2F) Curse Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Squirtle can only learn Curse in Generation II; however, Pokémon from Generation II games cannot be transferred to Generation IV. This error is likely due to Nick's Squirtle retaining its moveset from Pokémon Gold and Silver, in which it could learn Curse.
413Wormadam-Sandy.png School Kid Ann's Sandy Cloak Wormadam Leaf Storm Pokémon Black and White Only Plant Cloak Wormadam can learn Leaf Storm. Due to learning the move at the same level, this Wormadam should instead know Fissure. School Kid Ann Sandy Wormadam Leaf Storm BW.png
146Moltres.png En's Moltres (PWT) Leer Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 Moltres could only learn Leer in Generation I, and starting in Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, neither of which can be transferred to Generation V. Rotation Battle Tournament En Moltres Leer B2W2.png
376Metagross.png Abel's Metagross Ice Beam Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 From November 18 to 20, 2012, Metagross knew Ice Beam. After that, it was replaced with the correct move, Ice Punch.

This has been officially confirmed as an error, due to being based on a real-world Trainer.

1★ Wild Area News DrilburExcadrill Hydro Pump
(Max Geyser when Dynamaxed)
Pokémon Shield
(Available directly)

Pokémon Sword
(Available if raid was hosted from a player with Shield)

For a portion of the first day of this round of the Wild Area News for April 28 to May 11, 2020, 1★ Drilbur raids originating from Shield came with the illegal move Hydro Pump. The same raids for the rest of the event's duration, or from Sword, came with the correct move, Scratch. Players who caught a Drilbur with Hydro Pump cannot trade or battle online with it unless that move is forgotten; after doing so, it cannot be relearned.

These erroneous Drilbur otherwise function like other Drilbur, and can evolve into Excadrill with Hydro Pump. Additionally, while Dynamaxed, these Drilbur and Excadrill also have access to Max Geyser, which is typically unobtainable as neither can legitimately learn any Water-type attacks.

028Sandslash-Alola.png
Pokémon GO Alolan Sandshrew → Alolan Sandslash Poison Sting and/or Sand Attack Pokémon HOME
(After transferring from Pokémon GO)

Pokémon Sword and Shield
(Can be imported to Pokémon Sword and Shield)

Alolan Sandshrew and Sandslash transferred from Pokémon GO to Pokémon HOME from November 11 to November 16, 2020, erroneously use the level-up learnset of their Kantonian counterparts from Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!. Alolan Sandshrew and Sandslash in Pokémon HOME, Sword, or Shield with illegal moves had their moves replaced with moves from their level-up movepool on November 16, 2020, opening Pokémon HOME at any point between that date, and the release of HOME v3.0.0 would cause HOME to search all Sword and Shield savefiles on the console and correct the illegal movesets.

Players who transferred an Alolan Sandshrew and Sandslash with any of these illegal moves cannot trade or battle online with it unless that move is deleted. These erroneous Alolan Sandshrew and Sandslash otherwise function like other Alolan Sandshrew and Sandslash.

Alolan Vulpix and Ninetales in Pokémon HOME, Sword, or Shield with illegal moves had their moves replaced with moves from their level-up movepool on November 16, 2020, opening Pokémon HOME at any point between that date, and the release of HOME v3.0.0 would cause HOME to search all Sword and Shield savefiles on the console and correct the illegal movesets.

Players who transferred an Alolan Vulpix or Ninetales with any of these illegal moves cannot trade or battle online with it unless that move is deleted. These erroneous Alolan Vulpix and Ninetales otherwise function like other Alolan Vulpix and Ninetales, with Alolan Vulpix from GO being able to evolve into an Alolan Ninetales with level-up moves that are otherwise only in Kantonian Vulpix's movepool, such as Flamethrower and Fire Blast. Additionally, while Dynamaxed, these Alolan Vulpix and Alolan Ninetales also have access to Max Flare, which is typically unobtainable as neither can legitimately learn any Fire-type attacks. However, both Alolan Vulpix and Alolan Ninetales can use Max Flare by using Weather Ball powered up into a Max Move if it is sunny, though this is considered an extension of Max Strike.

Galarian Meowth or Perrserker in Pokémon HOME, Sword, or Shield with illegal moves had their moves replaced with moves from their level-up movepool on November 16, 2020, opening Pokémon HOME at any point between that date, and the release of HOME v3.0.0 would cause HOME to search all Sword and Shield savefiles on the console and correct the illegal movesets.

Players who transferred an Galarian Meowth with any of these illegal moves cannot trade or battle online with it unless that move is deleted. These erroneous Galarian Meowth otherwise function like other Galarian Meowth, with Galarian Meowth from GO being able to evolve into a Perrserker with Feint.

Due to being unable to be transferred out of Pokémon HOME, all Alolan Geodude, Graveler or Golem deposited in Pokémon HOME that had any illegal moves had their moves replaced with moves they can learn in their level-up movepool on November 16, 2020.

Galarian Ponyta and Rapidash transferred from Pokémon GO to Pokémon HOME from November 11 to November 16, 2020, erroneously use the level-up learnset of their Kantonian counterparts from Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!. Galarian Ponyta and Rapidash in Pokémon HOME, Sword, or Shield with illegal moves had their moves replaced with moves from their level-up movepool on November 16, 2020, opening Pokémon HOME at any point between that date, and the release of HOME v3.0.0 would cause HOME to search all Sword and Shield savefiles on the console and correct the illegal movesets.

Players who transferred a Galarian Ponyta and Rapidash with any of these illegal moves cannot trade or battle online with it unless that move is deleted. These erroneous Galarian Ponyta and Rapidash otherwise function like other Galarian Ponyta and Rapidash. Galarian Rapidash can only learn Flare Blitz after having been powered up fully and reaching the Best Buddy Buddy Level in Pokémon GO as a Galarian Ponyta prior to being transferred to Pokémon HOME, then evolving into Galarian Rapidash in Pokémon Sword and Shield.

Players who transferred a Galarian Farfetch'd with any of these illegal moves cannot trade or battle online with it unless that move is deleted. These erroneous Galarian Farfetch'd otherwise function like other Galarian Farfetch'd, with Galarian Farfetch'd from GO being able to evolve into a Sirfetch'd with an illegal moveset.

Calyrex
Ice Rider Calyrex
Shadow Rider Calyrex
Pain Split, Roar, High Horsepower, Icicle Spear, Throat Chop, Lash Out, Curse Pokémon Scarlet and Violet When Ice Rider or Shadow Rider Calyrex are separated via the Reins of Unity, unlike other TM moves which are forgotten if they were form-exclusive, it will retain TM moves that were added to the game in The Teal Mask and The Indigo Disk. As a result, each Calyrex form can retain moves that would otherwise be exclusive to its other two forms.[1]

The following is a summary of which illegal moves each form can access via this error:

  • Standard Calyrex: Pain Split, Roar, High Horsepower, Icicle Spear, Throat Chop, Lash Out, Curse
  • Ice Rider Calyrex: Pain Split
  • Shadow Rider Calyrex: Roar, High Horsepower, Icicle Spear, Throat Chop

Despite this, Haze and Double-Edge will be forgotten as usual, due to them also being present in the learnset via level-up.

Unobtainable combinations of moves

Due to mothers being able to pass down Egg Moves from Generation VI onward, all Egg Move combinations are possible from Generation VI onward.

Artwork Name Moves Game Notes
021Spearow.png Battle Hall Spearow Quick Attack and Scary Face Pokémon Platinum, Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver The only Flying Egg Group Pokémon, other than Spearow or Fearow, that can learn Scary Face is Aerodactyl, which cannot learn Quick Attack.

Due to Archen and Archeops learning both Quick Attack and Scary Face by level-up in Generation V, this combination is possible from Generation V onward.

096Drowzee.png Battle Frontier Drowzee (except in the Battle Hall) Assist and Barrier Pokémon Platinum, Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver The only Human-Like Egg Group Pokémon, other than Drowzee or Hypno, that can learn Assist are Spinda and the Chimchar family, which cannot learn Barrier.

047Parasect.png Walter's Parasect Bullet Seed and Leech Seed Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 Parasect can only learn Leech Seed as an Egg Move from Generation V onward, whereas it can only learn Bullet Seed as a Generation III or IV TM.

Due to the TM for Bullet Seed returning in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl and Parasect retaining Leech Seed as an Egg Move, this combination is legal from Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl onwards.

169Crobat.png Janine's Crobat (Type Expert and World Leaders Tournaments) Hypnosis and Brave Bird Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 The only Flying Egg Group Pokémon, other than the Crobat family, that can learn Hypnosis are the Hoothoot family, Sigilyph, and the Pidove family, which cannot learn Brave Bird.

Artwork Name Moves Game Notes
145Zapdos.png Battle Royal Dome Zapdos Air Cutter and Static Pokémon Sun and Moon, Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon All Zapdos in the Battle Royal Dome know Air Cutter and have a chance to have the Ability Static. Static is its Hidden Ability, and it can only learn Air Cutter from a Gen IV Move Tutor, before Hidden Abilities existed.

Due to the introduction of the Ability Patch in Generation VIII and the ability to transfer Zapdos that know Air Cutter to Gen VIII, this combination is legal from Gen VIII onwards.

Moves known at an early level

Breedable, gendered Pokémon can learn a level-up move by breeding if both parents know it.

Because the Move Reminder allows moves to be taught at any level in Generation VII, all Pokémon can know any of their Generation VII level-up moves at any level. Unless explicitly mentioned otherwise, all examples from Generation VI or earlier are legal at any level in Generation VII.

Pokémon GO Alolan Vulpix → Alolan Ninetales Quick Attack Pokémon HOME
(After transferring from Pokémon GO)

Pokémon Sword and Shield
(Can be imported to Pokémon Sword and Shield)

Alolan Vulpix and Ninetales transferred from Pokémon GO to Pokémon HOME from November 11 to November 16, 2020, erroneously use the level-up learnset of their Kantonian counterparts from Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, allowing them to learn the normally unavailable move Quick Attack. Alolan Vulpix and Ninetales in Pokémon HOME, Sword, or Shield with illegal moves had their moves replaced with moves from their level-up movepool on November 16, 2020, opening Pokémon HOME at any point after that date will cause HOME to search all Sword and Shield savefiles on the console and correct the illegal movesets.

Players who transferred an Alolan Vulpix or Ninetales with Quick Attack cannot trade or battle online with it unless that move is deleted. These erroneous Alolan Vulpix and Ninetales otherwise function like other Alolan Vulpix and Ninetales, with Alolan Vulpix from GO being able to evolve into an Alolan Ninetales.

Alolan Vulpix and Ninetales were unable to learn Quick Attack until the release of Pokémon Legends: Arceus, where both learn the move starting at level 5, however they cannot exit Legends: Arceus and retain that move, as Pokémon HOME stores unique movesets for each compatible game. If deposited into Pokémon Sword and Shield, it would gain four moves from its level-up movepool in Sword and Shield, losing access to Quick Attack.

876Indeedee-Female.png 5★ Tera Raid Battle female Indeedee Trick Room Pokémon Scarlet and Violet In 5★ Tera Raid Battles, female Indeedee has an identical moveset to its male counterpart, which erroneously included the move Trick Room, a move it could not normally learn. When caught, female Indeedee with Trick Room were permitted to be traded online, and participate in the Battle Stadium.

Additionally, while Female Indeedee 5★ raids were initially impossible to host online to other players (displaying an error message when attempting to join them), as of early December 2022 they began permitting other players to host them freely with Trick Room still present in the moveset, despite it still being an error move at the time.

This is currently the only instance of an error move obtainable by the player where the error was corrected by the developers simply allowing it, and eventually integrating it as a feature. As of v2.0.1 of Scarlet and Violet, instead of correcting the erroneous move, Game Freak instead patched the game to add Trick Room to Female Indeedee's TM learnset, effectively rendering it no longer an "error move". However, if the move is forgotten, it can not be relearned without using a TM.

095Onix.png Brock's Onix Bind Pokémon Yellow Brock's Onix knows Bind at level 12, although Onix does not learn this move until level 15. Because breeding did not exist in the Generation I games, it was not possible to know this move at an early level in Generation I.

In Generation II, Onix learns Bind at level 10. Due to trading being possible between the Generation I and II games via Time Capsule, an Onix from Generation II at level 12 (or lower) that knows Bind can be traded to Pokémon Yellow.

284Masquerain.png Viola's Masquerain Air Slash Pokémon X and Y In the first rematch in the Battle Chateau, Viola's Masquerain knows Air Slash at level 40. However, in Pokémon X and Y, Masquerain does not learn this move until level 47; Surskit cannot learn this move, so it cannot know it at a lower level due to breeding.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Masquerain learns Air Slash at level 38, making it possible to trade a Masquerain that knows Air Slash at level 40 (or lower) to Pokémon X and Y.

882Dracovish.png Gym Challenger Terry's Dracovish Fishious Rend and Dragon Rush Pokémon Sword and Shield In the Champion tournaments, Terry's Dracovish knows Fishious Rend and Dragon Rush at level 57, although Dracovish does not learn these moves until level 63 and level 77, respectively. It cannot learn these moves at a lower level due to breeding because it is in the No Eggs Discovered Egg Group. However, an event Dracovish that knows Fishious Rend and Dragon Rush at Level 50 was later distributed.

This combination did not become possible in Generation IV due to Exeggcute not maintaining Mega Drain as an Egg move.

Due to Exeggcute learning Mega Drain by leveling up in Generation VIII and maintaining Ancient Power as an Egg Move, this combination is possible from Generation VIII onward.

Moves known at an early level

Breedable, gendered Pokémon can learn a level-up move by breeding if both parents know it.

066Machop.png Youngster Bernie's Machop Vital Throw and Counter Pokémon Stadium 2 Youngster Bernie, the first Trainer in the Little Cup Round 2, has a level 5 Machop that knows both Vital Throw and Counter. While Machop can know both of these moves simultaneously if it is taught Counter as a TM in Generation I and transferred forward to Generation II to learn Vital Throw at level 31, this combination is impossible at level 5 because the only way Machop would be able to know Vital Throw at level 5 is by breeding, and Generation II moves cannot be traded back to Generation I for it to then learn Counter by TM.

Due to Machop being able to learn Counter as an Egg Move in Generation III and from the Move Tutor for Counter in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, and Machop maintaining Vital Throw as a level-up move, this combination is possible at level 5 from Generation III onward.

Freeze and Murky Cave with the player, it knows Leer, Scratch, and Quick Attack, as well as the legitimate move Taunt. These moves are the first four level-up moves of Absol or Sneasel in these games, the former being a Pokémon that helps the player in the journey up Mt. Freeze after defeating Articuno for the first time in Frosty Forest.

This was changed in the remake; it now has Shadow Ball, Sucker Punch, Hypnosis, and Dream Eater.

Pokémon GO

In Pokémon GO, several Pokémon may learn moves that they cannot learn in the core series games. While it is possible to transfer some Pokémon from Pokémon GO to Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, their moves are not transferred.

As part of the August 19, 2016 server update, all moves of that type were removed from their respective Pokémon's move pools. However, later updates introduced additional cases where Pokémon can have moves that they cannot know in the core series games.

The following table lists moves that have been removed from the Pokémon's permanent move pools. Unlike most other legacy moves, and with the exception of Stomp for Hitmonlee, these moves cannot be learned using an Elite Fast TM or Elite Charged TM.

Shadow and Purified Pokémon

Due to the mechanics behind Shadow Pokémon, the listed Pokémon will have Frustration as their Charged Attack as Shadow Pokémon and Return as their Charged Attack once purified, but these cannot learn either of these moves in the core series games.

As Frustration and Return have been traditionally moves that are available to all TM-compatible Pokémon and were TMs from Generation II to VII, all of the following Pokémon are either Pokémon that are incompatible with TMs in the core series games, or did not exist prior to Generation VIII.
