Reason: Can any type of Arceus learn Draco Meteor in BDSP, as with the other Generation VIII games?

Various Move Tutors will teach Draco Meteor to a Dragon-type Pokémon. From Generation IV to VII, the Pokémon also needs a maximized friendship rating. It can be taught to Arceus while it is holding the Draco Plate and to Silvally while it is holding the Dragon Memory. However, in Pokémon Sword and Shield and Pokémon Legends: Arceus, any form of Arceus or Silvally will be allowed to learn the move. The move cannot be taught to Pokémon that only become Dragon-types via Mega Evolution, Ultra Burst, or abilities such as Protean and Libero, as their Dragon typing cannot be accessed outside of battle. The Move Tutors are:

Trivia

  • In November 2005, prior to the release of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, it was announced that, in the following year, the January issue of Japanese magazine CoroCoro Comics would run a contest in which fans could propose name ideas for a new Dragon-type move.[1] In May of the same year, りゅうせいぐん Ryūseigun, later localized as Draco Meteor, was announced as the winner.[2]
  • Its Japanese name contains りゅう ryū (dragon), a likely reference to the move's Dragon type.
