List of moves by availability (Generation VIII)
From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Jump to navigationJump to searchThis page contains every move in the games in order of their index number and categorized by their availability in the Generation VIII games.
- ✓ denotes moves that are presently usable in Generation VIII.
- ✘ denotes moves that have been made unusable in Generation VIII. If a Pokémon with one of these moves is transferred into Generation VIII, the move's description will be
- "This move can't be used. It's recommended that this move is forgotten. Once forgotten, this move can't be remembered."
- Moves that have neither mark are currently unusable in Generation VIII, but they do not have the same description as moves marked with ✘.
Only in Pokémon Sword and Shield can Pokémon legitimately know unusable moves, and only if transferred from previous generations. Pokémon HOME resets the moves of Pokémon entering later games, and of Pokémon entering Sword and Shield from later games.
Some previously unusable moves were made usable in the v1.2.0 and v1.3.0 updates—the same updates that added new Pokémon to the games. With the exception of Kinesis, all of these moves did not have the generic description shared by most unusable moves.
