Since {{game|Red and Green|s}}, there have been three main methods of acquiring moves on a Pokémon: by [[Experience|leveling up]], by use of [[TM|Technical Machines]] and by use of Hidden Machines. [[Generation II]] added two further methods: [[Egg Move]]s learned through {{pkmn|breeding}}, and moves taught by a [[Move Tutor]]. Starting in [[Generation VII]], some Pokémon learn [[Evolution move|new moves when they evolve]] regardless of their level. | Since {{game|Red and Green|s}}, there have been three main methods of acquiring moves on a Pokémon: by [[Experience|leveling up]], by use of [[TM|Technical Machines]] and by use of Hidden Machines.

Moves in the anime often appear different to how they are depicted in the games. [[Ash's Pikachu]] often uses {{m|Agility}} as a physical attacking move, rather than a move that merely raises {{stat|Speed}}. The almost limitless nature of the anime lends itself to many more [[differences between the games and anime]] in relation to Pokémon's moves. Pokémon are able to use many more moves [[Field move|outside of battle]], such as {{AP|Bulbasaur}}'s {{m|Vine Whip}}. | Moves in the anime often appear different to how they are depicted in the games.

The process in which moves are learned is also markedly different. Even though it has been mentioned in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'' and ''[[EP245|Will the Real Oak Please Stand Up?]]'' that moves can be learned at certain levels, Pokémon seem to learn them more at random, including moves that are not learned by levelling up in the games (such as Pikachu's {{m|Volt Tackle}}). Similar to Move Tutors in the game, Pokémon can also learn moves by special training from certain people. For instance, {{an|Chaz}} helped Ash's Pikachu learn {{m|Iron Tail}}, and [[Clayton]] helped {{AP|Buizel}} learn {{m|Ice Punch}}. | The process in which moves are learned is also markedly different.
