Signature move: Difference between revisions

A '''signature move''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|専用技|せんようわざ}}''' ''exclusive move'') is a [[move]] that can only be learned by a single {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} or its [[evolution]]ary relatives usually in the same evolutionary line. Most are learned by leveling up but some can be learned through other means when no Pokémon can learn the move by leveling up.

Note that any of the moves included in this classification (except for {{m|Chatter}}) can be learned by {{p|Smeargle}} using {{m|Sketch}}, making Sketch and Chatter the only moves that are truly exclusive to one Pokémon legitimately. {{m|Hyperspace Fury}} could also be considered truly exclusive, as only {{p|Hoopa}} [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Hoopa|Unbound]] can execute it successfully. Also, some of these moves can be passed down via {{pkmn|breeding}} to other Pokémon or are known by certain [[event Pokémon]].

* A {{p|Dratini}} that knows '''{{m|Extreme Speed|ExtremeSpeed}}''' is obtainable in {{game|Crystal}}, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|HeartGold, and SoulSilver}} after answering a quiz in the [[Dragon's Den]].

* After [[Shadow Lugia|Lugia]] from [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] has been purified, it learns '''{{m|Psycho Boost}}''' and '''{{m|Feather Dance|FeatherDance}}'''.

* In [[Generation I]], {{p|Squirtle}} and its evolutionary relatives are the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Skull Bash}}''' by leveling up, but other Pokémon could learn it through [[TM40]].

* In [[Generation I]], {{p|Abra}} and its evolutionary relatives are the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Teleport}}''' by leveling up, but other Pokémon could learn it through [[TM30]].

* {{p|Hitmonlee}} is the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Mega Kick}}''' by leveling up, but other Pokémon could learn it through [[TM]] and Move Tutor in Generation I and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, respectively.

* {{p|Yveltal}} is the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Focus Blast}}''' by leveling up, but other Pokémon can learn it through [[TM52]].

* In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, {{p|Snorunt}} and {{p|Glalie}} are the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Frost Breath}}''' by leveling up, but other Pokémon can learn it through [[TM79]].

* {{p|Lucario}} is the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Power-Up Punch}}''' by leveling up, but other Pokémon can learn it through [[TM98]].

* Although several Pokémon have been able to learn {{m|Sing}} since its introduction, the move is heavily associated with {{p|Jigglypuff}} due to the {{an|Jigglypuff}} in the anime.

* {{p|Jolteon}} and {{p|Vaporeon}}'s signature moves are said to be '''{{m|Pin Missile}}''' and '''{{m|Acid Armor}}''', respectively. Both abilities are alluded to in both Pokémon's various Pokédex entries. However, many Pokémon learn both moves by leveling up, and some through {{pkmn|breeding}}. Likewise, {{p|Umbreon}}'s '''{{m|Moonlight}}''' matches {{p|Espeon}}'s '''{{m|Morning Sun}}''', though others can learn it even in its introductory generation.

* {{p|Ditto}} has '''{{m|Transform}}''' as its only move and is most associated with it; however, {{p|Mew}} is also able to learn it.

* Until Generation III, {{p|Koffing}} and {{p|Weezing}} were the only Poison-type Pokémon capable of learning '''{{m|Smog}}''', and are still the only Poison-type Pokémon to learn the move by level-up.

* The move '''{{m|Razor Shell}}''' is tied to {{p|Oshawott}}'s evolutionary line, although it can also be learned by {{p|Shellder}} and [[Barbaracle]].

* Although '''{{m|Blaze Kick}}''' was no longer {{p|Blaziken}}'s signature move from Generation III, it remains the only Fire-type Pokémon to learn it by level up.

* The {{p|Venipede}} family are the only Pokémon besides {{p|Golem}} which can learn '''{{m|Steamroller}}'''. They are also the only Bug-type Pokémon to learn it.

* {{p|Castform}} was the only Pokémon capable of learning '''{{m|Weather Ball}}''' prior to [[Generation IV]]. However, due to [[Shadow move]]s only being present in [[Generation III]], it remains the only Pokémon capable of taking advantage of Weather Ball's '''{{type|???}}''' effect during {{m|Shadow Sky}}.

[[File:Black Arachnid Meowth Pay Day.png|thumb|200px|Meowth using Pay Day in the anime]]

In the {{pkmn|anime}}, it is uncommon for specific moves to be explicitly stated to be exclusive to a certain Pokémon species. The concept was mentioned during a quiz challenge in ''[[DP126|Classroom Training!]]'', in which [[Candice]] stated that {{m|Pay Day}} could only be learned by {{p|Meowth}}.

* {{p|Hitmonlee}} has had the most signature moves, with four in Generation II; however, only two of them are still Hitmonlee's signature moves. The other was also previously available to other Pokémon through [[TM]]s and [[Move Tutor]]s.

** The Pokémon with the most signature moves in Generation VI is {{p|Vespiquen}}, with three—{{m|Attack Order}}, {{m|Defend Order}}, and {{m|Heal Order}}—all of which are {{type|Bug}}.

* All [[Hoenn]] [[starter Pokémon]] could learn a signature move after evolution, although these moves can (from [[Generation IV]] onwards) be learned by other evolutionary families as well.

**All [[Kalos]] [[starter Pokémon]] can similarly learn signature moves after evolution, with {{p|Greninja}} even getting two.

* Due to {{p|Smeargle}}'s {{m|Sketch}} being able to copy signature moves, from Generation II onward the only moves that only one Pokémon can learn are Sketch itself, {{m|Shadow Chill}}, {{m|Shadow Bolt}}, {{m|Shadow Fire}}, {{m|Shadow Blast}}, and {{m|Chatter}}. This is because [[Shadow move]]s and Chatter cannot be Sketched.
