* Since | * Since Generation II, very few moves can be considered true signature moves due to the nature of {{p|Smeargle|Smeargle's}} {{m|Sketch}}, which can copy almost any move. Sketch itself can be considered a true signature move since it can only be learned by Smeargle and only other Smeargle can copy it. {{p|Chatot|Chatot's}} {{m|Chatter}}, introduced in [[Generation IV]], being the only signature move that cannot be sketched, can also be considered a true signature move. In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Sword, Shield]], and [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus|Legends: Arceus]], Sketch cannot be used, making many signature moves introduced in those games true signature moves as well, as of [[Generation VIII]]. | ||
