Signature move: Difference between revisions

In particular, {{m|Bolt Beak}} has been mentioned as the signature move of {{p|Dracozolt}} and {{p|Arctozolt}}, and {{m|Fishious Rend}} as the signature move of {{p|Dracovish}} and {{p|Arctovish}}. Those Pokémon are related via their [[fossil]]s but not by [[evolution]]. Conversely, there is no known official usage of "signature move" referring to moves usable by multiple Pokémon of the same evolutionary family (such as {{m|Volt Tackle}}, usable by {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, and {{p|Pikachu}}) or by Pokémon of the same [[Legendary group]] (such as {{m|Sacred Sword}}, usable by the [[Swords of Justice]]).

[[File:Sketch VIII.png|thumb|250px|{{m|Sketch}} in [[Generation VIII]]]]

Due to the nature of {{p|Smeargle}}'s signature move {{m|Sketch}}, which allows Smeargle to copy and learn most other moves, only signature moves that cannot be sketched may be considered true signature moves.  

* All signature moves in [[Generation I]], as Sketch had not been introduced yet.  

* Sketch itself, introduced in [[Generation II]], since it can only be learned by Smeargle and only other Smeargle can copy it.  

* {{p|Chatot}}'s {{m|Chatter}}, introduced in [[Generation IV]], being the only signature move that cannot be sketched.

* {{p|Melmetal}}'s {{m|Double Iron Bash}}, introduced in [[Generation VII]] in {{LGPE}}, as Sketch cannot be used in any of the games that Double Iron Bash can be used in from Generation VII onwards.  

* All signature moves introduced in the [[Generation VIII]] games {{g|Sword and Shield}} and {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, as Sketch cannot be used in those games and those moves cannot be used in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, where Sketch is usable.  

* All signature moves in [[Generation IX]], as Sketch cannot be used in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, and those games are the only games released for Generation IX so far.

Notably, {{p|Darkrai|Darkrai's}} {{m|Dark Void}} (since [[Generation VII]]) and {{p|Hoopa|Hoopa Unbound's}} {{m|Hyperspace Fury}} can be copied by Sketch, but can only be performed if used by Darkrai or Hoopa Unbound, or a Pokémon that has transformed into Darkrai or Hoopa Unbound, respectively.

* After [[Shadow Lugia|Lugia]] from [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] has been purified, it learns '''{{m|Psycho Boost}}''' and '''{{m|Feather Dance}}'''.

* After {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} from Pokémon XD have been purified, they all learn '''{{m|Extrasensory}}'''.

* {{m|Frenzy Plant}} can only be learnt by fully evolved {{type|Grass}} [[starter Pokémon]].

* {{m|Blast Burn}} can only be learnt by fully evolved {{type|Fire}} starter Pokémon.

* {{m|Hydro Cannon}} can only be learnt by fully evolved {{type|Water}} starter Pokémon.

* Prior to [[Generation VII]], only starter Pokémon and their evolutions could learn {{m|Grass Pledge}}, {{m|Fire Pledge}}, and {{m|Water Pledge}}.
