A '''signature move''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|得意技|とくいわざ}}''' ''signature move'') or '''signature attack''' is generally considered a [[move]] that can normally only be learned by a single {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, [[evolution]]ary family, or [[Legendary group]] within a given [[generation]]. However, no consistent definition has been offered by official media.

However, no consistent definition has been offered by official media.  


Starting in {{g|Sword and Shield}}, because most Pokémon not in the regional Pokédex are unobtainable, some Pokémon apparently gain or lose their signature moves based on availability, even if that move would otherwise be non-exclusive (for example, {{p|Accelgor}} in Pokémon Sword and Shield is the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Water Shuriken}} since {{p|Greninja}} is not present in those games).

Most signature moves are learned by [[level]]ing up. Despite being signature moves of a particular species, other Pokémon can still sometimes learn the move through other means. Some signature moves can also be inherited via {{pkmn|breeding}} or are known by certain {{pkmn2|gift}} or [[event Pokémon]]. Additionally, {{p|Smeargle}} can learn most signature moves via its own signature move, {{m|Sketch}}.

==Definition and usage==
{{main|Terminology of signature moves}}
Since [[Generation VI]], the term "signature move" is often used on [[Pokémon.com]].<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/play-pokemon/internationals/2019/oceania/vgc-recap-gabby-snyder A Look at the 2019 Oceania Pokémon VGC International Championships - Pokémon.com]</ref><ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/galarian-articuno/ Galarian Articuno - Pokémon.com]</ref><ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/regieleki/ Regieleki - Pokémon.com]</ref><ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/strategy/train-legendary-pokemon-from-the-crown-tundra-for-ranked-battles-and-more Train Legendary Pokémon From the Crown Tundra for Ranked Battles and More - Pokémon.com]</ref><ref>[https://legends.arceus.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/palkia/ Palkia (Origin Forme) | Pokémon Legends: Arceus Official Website]</ref> It is also mentioned in {{g|Sword and Shield}}<ref> ''"My partner's '''signature move''' invites you to a subzero world!"'' ([[Melony]], referring to her [[Gigantamax]]  {{p|Lapras}}'s [[G-Max Resonance]] in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]])
</ref>, the English release of {{g|GO}}<ref>''"Great work saving Apex Shadow {{p|Ho-Oh}}, <player>! It looks like it knows {{m|Sacred Fire}}, Ho-Oh's '''signature move'''—yet this one's Sacred Fire is somehow even more powerful!"''</ref>, and in {{g|Quest}}<ref>A tip displayed on the loading screen in {{g|Quest}} labeled "Signature Moves" reads: "There are apparently some moves that only certain Pokémon can learn".</ref>.


From [[Generation VI]] onwards, the term "'''signature move'''" has been often used on the [[Pokémon.com]] website. It is also mentioned in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword, Shield]], and [[Pokémon GO|GO]].
While there is no consistent official definition, it is often implied that, contrary to general fan usage, signature moves may be moves that, at the time of their introduction, were only usable by a single species or certain related species. For instance, {{m|Sacred Fire}} is still referred to as {{p|Ho-Oh}}'s signature move even after this move became available for {{p|Entei}} as well.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/strategy/vgc-2016-championship-series-preview 2016 Pokémon Video Game Championship Series Preview - Pokémon.com]</ref><ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/strategy/a-guide-to-training-legendary-pokemon-in-pokemon-sword-and-pokemon-shield A Guide to Training Legendary Pokémon in ''Pokémon Sword'' and ''Pokémon Shield'' - Pokémon.com]</ref> Conversely, there is no known official usage of the term to refer to moves that became available to a single species later than the move's introduction (such as {{p|Unown}}'s {{m|Hidden Power}}).


In the fandom, this has sometimes been used referring to moves that are used by a single {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, [[evolution]]ary family, or [[Legendary group]] within a given [[generation]], with several moves gaining or losing the "signature move" status between generations.
{{m|Bolt Beak}} has also been mentioned as the signature move of {{p|Dracozolt}} and {{p|Arctozolt}}, and {{m|Fishious Rend}} as the signature move of {{p|Dracovish}} and {{p|Arctovish}}.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/strategy/battle-tactics-speed-control-in-double-battles-in-pokemon-sword-and-pokemon-shield Battle Tactics: Speed Control in Double Battles in ''Pokémon Sword'' and ''Pokémon Shield'' - Pokémon.com]</ref> These Pokémon are related via their [[Fossil]]s but not by [[Evolution]]. On the other hand, there is no known official usage of "signature move" to refer to moves usable by multiple Pokémon of the same evolutionary line (such as {{m|Volt Tackle}}, usable by {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, and {{p|Raichu}}) or by Pokémon of the same [[Groups of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|group of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon]] (such as {{m|Sacred Sword}}, usable by the [[Swords of Justice]]).
 
While there is no official definition, based on the official uses of "signature move" so far, this term may permanently refer to moves that, at the time of their introduction, were only usable by a single species or certain related species. For instance, {{m|Sacred Fire}} has been still referred as {{p|Ho-Oh}}'s signature move even after this move became available for {{p|Entei}} as well. Conversely, moves that became available to a single species later than the move's introduction (such as {{p|Unown}}'s {{m|Hidden Power}}) have not been officially referred to as "signature moves".
 
In particular, {{m|Bolt Beak}} has been mentioned as the signature move of {{p|Dracozolt}} and {{p|Arctozolt}}, and {{m|Fishious Rend}} as the signature move of {{p|Dracovish}} and {{p|Arctovish}}. Those Pokémon are related via their [[fossil]]s but not by [[evolution]]. Conversely, there is no known official usage of "signature move" referring to moves usable by multiple Pokémon of the same evolutionary family (such as {{m|Volt Tackle}}, usable by {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, and {{p|Raichu}}) or by Pokémon of the same [[Legendary group]] (such as {{m|Sacred Sword}}, usable by the [[Swords of Justice]]).

Zarude using Jungle Healing, its signature move

A signature move (Japanese: 得意技(とくいわざ) signature move) or signature attack is generally considered a move that can normally only be learned by a single Pokémon, evolutionary family, or group of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon within a given generation. However, no consistent definition has been offered by official media.

Starting in Pokémon Sword and Shield, because most Pokémon not in the regional Pokédex are unobtainable, some Pokémon apparently gain or lose their signature moves based on availability, even if that move would otherwise be non-exclusive (for example, Accelgor in Pokémon Sword and Shield is the only Pokémon that can learn Water Shuriken since Greninja is not present in those games).

Most signature moves are learned by leveling up. Despite being signature moves of a particular species, other Pokémon can still sometimes learn the move through other means. Some signature moves can also be inherited via breeding or are known by certain gift or event Pokémon. Additionally, Smeargle can learn most signature moves via its own signature move, Sketch.

Definition and usage

Since Generation VI, the term "signature move" is often used on Pokémon.com.[1][2][3][4][5] It is also mentioned in Pokémon Sword and Shield[6], the English release of Pokémon GO[7], and in Pokémon Quest[8].

While there is no consistent official definition, it is often implied that, contrary to general fan usage, signature moves may be moves that, at the time of their introduction, were only usable by a single species or certain related species. For instance, Sacred Fire is still referred to as Ho-Oh's signature move even after this move became available for Entei as well.[9][10] Conversely, there is no known official usage of the term to refer to moves that became available to a single species later than the move's introduction (such as Unown's Hidden Power).

Bolt Beak has also been mentioned as the signature move of Dracozolt and Arctozolt, and Fishious Rend as the signature move of Dracovish and Arctovish.[11] These Pokémon are related via their Fossils but not by Evolution. On the other hand, there is no known official usage of "signature move" to refer to moves usable by multiple Pokémon of the same evolutionary line (such as Volt Tackle, usable by Pichu, Pikachu, and Raichu) or by Pokémon of the same group of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon (such as Sacred Sword, usable by the Swords of Justice).

True signature moves

Sketch in Generation IX

Due to the nature of Smeargle's signature move Sketch, which allows Smeargle to copy and learn most other moves, only signature moves that cannot be sketched may be considered true signature moves.

This includes:

Similarly, all exclusive Z-Moves, G-Max Moves, and Shadow moves can be considered truly exclusive moves, as Z-Moves and Shadow moves cannot be sketched, and Sketch cannot be used in Pokémon Sword and Shield, the only games where G-Max Moves can be used.

Notably, prior to Generation IX, Darkrai's Dark Void (since Generation VII) and Hoopa Unbound's Hyperspace Fury could be copied by Sketch, but could only be performed if used by Darkrai or Hoopa Unbound, or a Pokémon that had transformed into Darkrai or Hoopa Unbound, respectively.

Signature moves once known by other gift or event Pokémon

Victini using Fusion Flare, Fusion Bolt, and V-create

This is a list of signature moves that at one point, another Pokémon had the ability to acquire when obtained as a gift, or through event distributions:

Similar examples

There are several moves that are uniquely associated with certain Pokémon but are otherwise not considered signature moves.

  • Although they are not always signature moves, some Pokémon are capable of learning only one move. These Pokémon are Ditto (Transform), Unown (Hidden Power), and Smeargle (Sketch). Transform is almost a signature move, as it is only learned by one other Pokémon, Mew. Some other Pokémon rely on a very limited signature set of moves, though these Pokémon generally cannot use TMs or TRs.
  • Umbreon's Moonlight is a counterpart to Espeon's Morning Sun, though the former was never its signature move.
  • Iron Tail is the only Steel-type move introduced in Generation II that was never a signature move, although it is heavily associated with Steelix.

Some moves are exclusive to groups of Pokémon that are not an evolutionary family or group of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon.

Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise are often associated with the moves Solar Beam, Flamethrower, and Hydro Pump, respectively.

There are several moves that appear to be designed with certain Pokémon in mind but were not signature moves in their debut generation.

Teachable exclusive moves

The following are moves that can be learned only by a single Pokémon or evolutionary line via level up, but can be also taught to other Pokémon by TMs, HMs, TRs, Move Tutors, or via picnic.

Species-specific moves

The following is a list of moves that are specifically programmed for these Pokémon.

Other moves that work specifically for particular species that are not listed here are:

  • Moves that are required for a Pokémon to evolve, a mechanic introduced in Generation IV.
  • Evolution moves that a Pokémon will try to learn after evolving into another species, regardless of its level, starting in Generation VII.
  • Moves that are required for a Pokémon to know so they could be upgraded into signature Z-Moves.

Similarly, Mega Gengar (except in Generation VI), Diglett, Dugtrio, Sandygast, and Palossand cannot be affected by the move Telekinesis, but a Pokémon that is transformed into one of these Pokémon can be affected.

In the spin-off games

Pokémon Quest

In Pokémon Quest, one of the available tips is labeled "Signature Moves", which reads as follows: "There are apparently some moves that only certain Pokémon can learn".

In the anime

Sirfetch'd using its signature move, Meteor Assault, in the anime

In the anime, it is uncommon for specific moves to be explicitly stated to be exclusive to a certain Pokémon species.

Although some moves were occasionally referred to as a Pokémon's "special attack" during the original series, in most of these cases, the move in question actually wasn't that Pokémon's signature move. A notable exception to this occurred in Holiday Hi-Jynx, where Lovely Kiss was correctly referred as the "special attack" of Jynx, as well as Spore correctly being referred to as the "special attack" of Parasect in The Problem with Paras.

In Go West Young Meowth, Meowth told the story of his past, where he mentioned that he learned to talk instead of master Pay Day, which he suggested was permanent. This came back in Meowth Rules!, where people of Golden Island expected him to create coins for them, which he failed to do. The concept was also mentioned during a quiz challenge in Classroom Training!, where Candice stated that Pay Day could only be learned by Meowth; in The Future is Now, Thanks to Strategy!, where Clemont identified Meteor Assault as a move only Sirfetch'd can learn; and in Pride of a Champion!, where Hop referred to Trick-or-Treat as Gourgeist's "unique move".

In the TCG

Main category: Attack categories with 1 card

In the Pokémon Trading Card Game, there are thousands of Pokémon cards with their own unique attacks that are not shared with other cards.

According to the blurb of the Polar Frost Theme Deck, Lightning Strike is the signature attack of the Jolteon card from Majestic Dawn.[12] However, Lightning Strike is actually usable by several other cards, the earliest one being Raichu from Neo Revelation.

The term "signature attack" is not known to be officially used anywhere else in the context of the Pokémon Trading Card Game.

Trivia

  • Signature moves have been casually mentioned a few times by NPCs in the Pokémon games in various contexts.
    • In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, the character who gives the Big Root to the player in Driftveil City claims that this item affects the signature move (Japanese: 得意(とくい)な 技(わざ) signature move) of his Pokémon: "Trainer... If my Pokémon was with me, I would've challenged you for a battle. Instead, please accept this. It is...a Big Root! Have a Pokémon hold this, and it absorbs more HP from the target! This was a perfect item for my Pokémon's signature move..."
      • This mention of "signature move" may have simply been in the general sense of "one's strongest move". However, in the usual definition (a move usable by a single species or evolutionary line), the only known signature moves affected by Big Root were introduced in later generations: Yveltal's Oblivion Wing, Pop Star Pikachu's Draining Kiss, and Ceruledge's Bitter Blade.
    • In Pokémon X and Y, a maid from the Hotel Richissime claims to have a "signature move" (Japanese: 得意技(とくいわざ) signature move) as well: "Our signature move is double-team cleaning!" (Japanese: 私(わたし)たちの 得意技(とくいわざ) ツープラトン クリーニング！)
    • In the "Straight to the Top, Machop!" event in Pokémon GO, Professor Willow mentions a signature move (Japanese: 得意(とくい) specialty): "Its four arms react more quickly than it can think, so Machamp can execute several punches at once! Hoo-hah! That was the movie Machamp's signature move."
      • This mention of "signature move" was introduced in the localization. The Japanese version of this dialogue does not refer to using a move or signature move.
