User:Meeper12346/Event move: Difference between revisions

An '''event move''' is a special move exclusively obtained via [[Event Pokémon|event distribution]]. Event moves can either be entirely unobtainable outside of event distributions, or unobtainable on a specific Pokémon outside of event distributions. Certain moves lose their event exclusive status and become readily available in a later generation, such as {{m|V-create}}. Unless stated otherwise, all of the following moves can also be learned by {{p|Smeargle}} via {{m|Sketch}}.
