* Although they are not always signature moves, some Pokémon are capable of learning only one move.

** Some other Pokémon rely on a ''very'' limited set of moves; [[TM#Incompatible Pokémon| | ** Transform is ''almost'' a signature move, as it is only learned by [[Mew (Pokémon)|one other Pokémon]]. | ||
** {{p|Delibird}} was only able to learn {{m|Present}} by level-up until Gen VII (in which it gained access to {{m|Drill Peck}}), but Delibird has always been able to [[Egg move|learn moves through breeding]] and had compatibility with [[TM]]s, allowing it to learn several other moves. | |||
** {{p|Beldum}} used to only be able to learn {{m|Take Down}}, and Take Down is still the only move that it learns by level-up, but Beldum has had access to {{m|Iron Head}}, {{m|Zen Headbutt}}, and {{m|Iron Defense}} through [[Move Tutor]]s ever since Gen IV (and had access to {{m|Headbutt}} in HeartGold and SoulSilver). | |||
* Some other Pokémon, such as {{p|Wobbuffet}}, {{p|Beldum}}, and {{p|Snom}}, technically have access to more than one move, but still rely on a ''very'' limited set of moves; these Pokémon generally [[TM#Incompatible Pokémon|cannot use TMs]] and have ''very'' few, if any [[Egg move]]s. | |||

It should also be noted that Wobbuffet is the only fully-evolved Pokémon to have or formerly had a limited movepool consisting of more than one move but no more than ten; | |||
*** Despite its similarity to Magikarp, {{p|Feebas}} has always been compatible with TMs, so its movepool's size is only mildly below average. {{p|Scatterbug}}, {{p|Spewpa}}, and {{p|Dottler}} do not fit, either, as the trend of slightly expanding the movepools of unevolved "low-tier" Bug-type Pokémon was already established by the time of the Scatterbug line's introduction in Gen VI, but {{p|Blipbug}} ''does'' fit due to lacking compatibility with TMs or TRs. | |||
