Although the following moves are affected by the Ability, they currently cannot be learned by any Pokémon with Sharpness. They may, however, be called via {{m|Metronome}}, {{m|Mirror Move}}, {{m|Copycat}}, or {{m|Mimic}}, or be used by a Pokémon that gained Sharpness by an Ability like {{a|Trace}} or {{a|Receiver}} or a move such as {{m|Skill Swap}} or {{m|Role Play}}.
