I believe a page should be dedicated to moves with 'hidden effects.' Since at least 2nd gen, there have been moves that have extra effects beyond the ones mentioned in the move's description. I am referring to moves such as Stomp, which does extra damage when the opponent has used Minimize, and Rollout, which starts on level 2 if the pokemon used Defense Curl in the previous turn. There are many others, and I'm sure that a lot of them are not generally known (I for one, only a few minutes ago learned that rock types get a special defense bonus during a Sandstorm). Having an organized page or category for moves like these would help more people learn about these additional benefits.

== By event and special move == | |||
Both go at the very bottom of the learnset section. So, here's a rundown of how they currently work (from my observations). I originally started compiling this for personal reference, but figured it was best to put it here to make it clear what conventions I was following. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 18:21, 26 January 2014 (UTC) | |||
===Special move=== | |||
This is listed as the first of the two. If a Pokémon has a move exclusive to an in-game {{pkmn2|gift}} or [[trade]] (or one from a side series or spin-off game), [[purification]], or when caught in a specific place (i.e. [[Pokéwalker]] or {{pkmn|Dream World}}), then that move is listed as a special move. | |||
While completely different, the moves Rotom learns while changing forms are listed here too (and ignore all guidelines for this category). | |||
Moves are included here even if the Pokémon learns it by other ways if it is only learned by the following ways: | |||
*TM/HM | |||
*Move Tutor | |||
*Egg move | |||
*Light Ball breeding | |||
*Pre-evolution-exclusive | |||
*Previous generation-exclusive | |||
*Sketch | |||
*Special or event move | |||
*Level-up move learned at a later level (the level the Pokémon is obtained at is noted) | |||
===By {{pkmn2|event}}=== | |||
This is listed as the second of the two. If a Pokémon has a move exclusive to an event distribution or Global Link promotion, then that move is listed as an event move. Moves known by Pokémon obtained in locations, in-game events, Pokéwalker courses and Dream World areas that can only be accessed with events are not considered to be event moves. | |||
Moves are included here even if the Pokémon learns it by other ways if it is only learned by the following ways: | |||
*Egg move | |||
*Light Ball breeding | |||
*Pre-evolution-exclusive | |||
*Previous generation-exclusive | |||
*Sketch | |||
*Special or event move | |||
*Level-up move learned at a later level (the level the Pokémon is obtained at is noted) | |||
TM/HM moves (Snarl, Defog, Whirlpool) and Move Tutor moves exclusive to some games within a generation are also ignored for the purposes of event moves. |
