A '''signature move''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|専用技|せんようわざ}}''' ''exclusive move'') is a [[move]] that can normally only be learned by a single {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, [[evolution]]ary family, or {{pkmn2|Legendary}} group within a given [[generation]]. | A '''signature move''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|専用技|せんようわざ}}''' ''exclusive move'') is a [[move]] that can normally only be learned by a single {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, [[evolution]]ary family, or {{pkmn2|Legendary}} group within a given [[generation]]. | ||
Starting in {{g|Sword and Shield}}, most Pokémon not in the regional Pokédex are unusable, causing some Pokémon to apparently gain or lose their signature moves based on availability, even if that move would otherwise be non-exclusive (for example, the {{p|Gogoat}} evolutionary family in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} are the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Milk Drink}}, as {{p|Miltank}} cannot be transferred in-game). | |||
Most signature moves are learned by [[level]]ing up. Despite being signature moves of a particular species, other Pokémon can still sometimes learn the move through other means. Some signature moves can also be inherited via {{pkmn|breeding}} or are known by certain {{pkmn2|gift}} or [[event Pokémon]]. Additionally, {{p|Smeargle}} can learn most signature moves via its own signature move, {{m|Sketch}}. | Most signature moves are learned by [[level]]ing up.
