Evolution move

The subject of this article has no official name. The name currently in use is a fan designator; see below for more information.

Evolution moves are moves that are learned upon evolution. This method of learning moves was introduced to the games in Generation VII.

Mechanics

After a Pokémon evolves, it immediately attempts to learn all evolution moves for its evolved form. As in previous generations, after this, it attempts to learn any moves that the evolved Pokémon learns at its current level.

In version 1.0 of Pokémon Sun and Moon, due to a bug, if a Pokémon attempted to learn an evolution move, it would not attempt to learn any level-up moves that it could also learn at level 1; this was fixed in version 1.1 of Pokémon Sun and Moon as well as subsequent games.
