Although some moves were occasionally referred to as a Pokémon's "special attack" during the [[original series]], in most of these cases, the move in question wasn't that Pokémon's signature move. A notable exception to this was in ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'', where {{Ash}}'s [[Pokédex]] correctly referred to {{m|Lovely Kiss}} as the "special attack" of {{p|Jynx}}.

The concept was also mentioned during a quiz challenge in ''[[DP126|Classroom Training!]]'', in which [[Candice]] stated that {{m|Pay Day}} could only be learned by {{p|Meowth}}.
