 I believe a page should be dedicated to moves with 'hidden effects.'  Since at least 2nd gen, there have been moves that have extra effects beyond the ones mentioned in the move's description.  I am referring to moves such as Stomp, which does extra damage when the opponent has used Minimize, and Rollout, which starts on level 2 if the pokemon used Defense Curl in the previous turn.  There are many others, and I'm sure that a lot of them are not generally known (I for one, only a few minutes ago learned that rock types get a special defense bonus during a Sandstorm).  Having an organized page or category for moves like these would help more people learn about these additional benefits.  [[User:Legionaireb|Legionaireb]] ([[User talk:Legionaireb|talk]]) 17:20, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
+== By event and special move ==
+Both go at the very bottom of the learnset section. So, here's a rundown of how they currently work (from my observations). I originally started compiling this for personal reference, but figured it was best to put it here to make it clear what conventions I was following. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 18:21, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
+===Special move===
+This is listed as the first of the two. If a Pokémon has a move exclusive to an in-game {{pkmn2|gift}} or [[trade]] (or one from a side series or spin-off game), [[purification]], or when caught in a specific place (i.e. [[Pokéwalker]] or {{pkmn|Dream World}}), then that move is listed as a special move.
+While completely different, the moves Rotom learns while changing forms are listed here too (and ignore all guidelines for this category).
+Moves are included here even if the Pokémon learns it by other ways if it is only learned by the following ways:
+*TM/HM
+*Move Tutor
+*Egg move
+*Light Ball breeding
+*Pre-evolution-exclusive
+*Previous generation-exclusive
+*Sketch
+*Special or event move
+*Level-up move learned at a later level (the level the Pokémon is obtained at is noted)
+===By {{pkmn2|event}}===
+This is listed as the second of the two. If a Pokémon has a move exclusive to an event distribution or Global Link promotion, then that move is listed as an event move. Moves known by Pokémon obtained in locations, in-game events, Pokéwalker courses and Dream World areas that can only be accessed with events are not considered to be event moves.
+Moves are included here even if the Pokémon learns it by other ways if it is only learned by the following ways:
+*Egg move
+*Light Ball breeding
+*Pre-evolution-exclusive
+*Previous generation-exclusive
+*Sketch
+*Special or event move
+*Level-up move learned at a later level (the level the Pokémon is obtained at is noted)
+TM/HM moves (Snarl, Defog, Whirlpool) and Move Tutor moves exclusive to some games within a generation are also ignored for the purposes of event moves.
