Several Pokémon species' biology sections include a sentence along the lines of "This Pokémon is the only known Pokémon capable of '''learning''' X move". However, some pages say "This Pokémon is the only known Pokémon capable of '''using''' X move", instead. Could we settle on a particular phrasing for consistency? I'm partial to the inital example I gave that uses the word "'''learning'''", although both seem to be used with near-equal frequency.

:Additionally, there is inconsistency between the phrase ending with "the only known Pokémon capable of learning '''the move''' X" and "the only known Pokémon capable of learning X". Most pages seem to include "'''the move'''", so I'd also like to include it on the other pages for consistency.

::I'd say go with what a majority of articles use as the wording. And, imo, "learning ''the move'' X" sounds a bit cleaner, if that makes sense.--[[User:Force Fire|<span style="color:#44BAE5">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#85D2EE">orce</span>]][[User talk:Force Fire|<span style="color:#DA7D99">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#E7ABBD">ire</span>]] 07:29, 9 June 2022 (UTC) | |||
