In the [[Pokémon anime]], there will often come up a Pokémon that knows a move it cannot learn legitimately in any of the {{pkmn|games}}.
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, occasionally Pokémon know moves they cannot learn legitimately in any of the {{pkmn|games}}. It is unknown whether these instances are actual mistakes, a writing policy of not having to stick to the games too closely, or merely the Pokémon using an attribute that shares the name of a move in the games. In ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!]]'', [[Professor Oak]] states that in times of need, Pokémon can call upon power that had never been known to them previously, such as [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] learning {{m|Dig}}.

Latest revision as of 19:51, 19 March 2024

In the anime, occasionally Pokémon know moves they cannot learn legitimately in any of the games. It is unknown whether these instances are actual mistakes, a writing policy of not having to stick to the games too closely, or merely the Pokémon using an attribute that shares the name of a move in the games. In Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!, Professor Oak states that in times of need, Pokémon can call upon power that had never been known to them previously, such as Ash's Bulbasaur learning Dig.
