Only signature moves that cannot be copied by {{m|Sketch}}, introduced in [[Generation II]], can be considered true signature moves, as they are the only moves that are truly exclusive to a single {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, [[evolution]]ary family, or {{pkmn2|Legendary}} group within a given [[generation]] without being able to be copied.
