* Although not always signature moves, some Pokémon are capable of learning only one move. These Pokémon are {{p|Ditto}} ({{m|Transform}}), {{p|Unown}} ({{m|Hidden Power}}), and {{p|Smeargle}} ({{m|Sketch}}).
* Although not always signature moves, some Pokémon are capable of learning only one move. These Pokémon are {{p|Ditto}} ({{m|Transform}}), {{p|Unown}} ({{m|Hidden Power}}), and {{p|Smeargle}} ({{m|Sketch}}).
** Transform is ''almost'' a signature move, as it is only learned by [[Mew (Pokémon)|one other Pokémon]].
* Some other Pokémon rely on a ''very'' limited set of moves; these Pokémon generally [[TM#Incompatible Pokémon|cannot use TMs]]. Other are {{p|Applin}} and {{p|Dottler}}.
** {{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.
** {{p|Caterpie}}, {{p|Metapod}}, {{p|Weedle}}, {{p|Kakuna}}, {{p|Magikarp}}, {{p|Wurmple}}, {{p|Silcoon}}, {{p|Cascoon}}, {{p|Kricketot}}, {{p|Combee}}, and {{p|Burmy}} used to be in this group, but they have gradually gained access to a handful of other moves, such as {{m|Bounce}} and {{m|Hydro Pump}} for Magikarp and {{m|Bug Bite}} and {{m|Electroweb}} for unevolved "low-tier" {{t|Bug}}-types, through means such as [[Move Tutor]]s and [[TR]]s; however, their movepools remain ''extremely'' limited in scope. 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.
* {{p|Umbreon}}'s {{m|Moonlight}} is a counterpart to {{p|Espeon}}'s {{m|Morning Sun}}, though it never was its signature move.

*{{m|Iron Tail}} is the only {{t|Steel}}-type move introduced in [[Generation II]] that was never a signature move, although it is heavily associated with {{p|Steelix}}.

** Similarly, {{m|Fusion Flare}} and {{m|Fusion Bolt}} are exclusively learned by {{p|Reshiram}} and [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Kyurem|White]] {{p|Kyurem}}, and {{p|Zekrom}} and [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Kyurem|Black]] {{p|Kyurem}}, respectively (outside of events). Kyurem's forms are the result of absorbing Reshiram or Zekrom, and thus gain some of their traits and powers.

** Only fully-evolved [[Starter Pokémon|starter Pokémon]] of the matching type can learn {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}}, and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}. However, these moves were true signature moves for {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Charizard}}, and {{p|Blastoise}}, respectively, in Pokémon XD.
* {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Charizard}}, and {{p|Blastoise}} are often associated with {{m|Solar Beam}}, {{m|Flamethrower}}, and {{m|Hydro Pump}}, respectively.
