In the [[core series]] games, currently, there are [[List of moves|915 different moves]] that Pokémon can use. In battle, a Pokémon uses one move each turn. Prior to [[Generation VII]] and in {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, some moves (including those learned by [[HM]]) can be used [[Field move|outside of battle]] as well, usually to remove obstacles or explore new areas. | |||

A Pokémon can only know between one and four moves at a time. No single Pokémon can learn every move; each and every Pokémon has a predetermined set of moves (known as a movelist, movepool, or learnset) that they can learn that relates to the type and concept of the species. Movelist sizes vary greatly among different Pokémon; some Pokémon, such as {{p|Ditto}} and {{p|Unown}}, can only learn one move, while {{p|Mew}} can learn 250 moves in [[Generation VII]], and {{p|Smeargle}} can possess almost any move due to {{m|Sketch}}. [[Evolution|Evolved]] Pokémon generally have larger movelists than their pre-evolved forms but learn moves naturally at a slower rate or even stop learning moves via level-up entirely. This may provide incentive to delay a Pokémon's evolution. Most [[Legendary trio]]s and [[Legendary duo|duos]] have similar movelists. | A Pokémon can only know between one and four moves at a time.
