Line 1: Line 1:
In the [[Pokémon anime]], there will often come up a Pokémon that knows a move it cannot learn legally in any of the {{pkmn|games}}. It is unknown whether these are actual mistakes, a writing policy of not having to stick to the games too closely, or merely the Pokémon using an attribute that shares the name of a move in the games.
In the [[Pokémon animated series]], {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} occasionally know [[move]]s they cannot learn legitimately in any of the {{pkmn|games}}. It is unknown whether most of these instances are actual mistakes, a writing policy of not having to stick to the games too closely, or merely the Pokémon using an attribute that shares the name of a move in the games. In ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!]]'', [[Professor Oak]] states that in times of need, Pokémon can call upon power that had never been known to them previously, such as [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] learning {{m|Dig}}.


It should also be noted that occasionally [[Nintendo]] will make available Pokémon that can be transferred onto the games with a move that is not normally included in that Pokémon's moveset (a prime example being [[Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire]], which gave away four separate Pokémon with moves that were not normally available to that specific Pokémon).
==Pokémon with moves that they cannot learn in the games==

==Less blatant examples==
=====Mentioned only=====
* During {{AP|Caterpie}}'s battle with {{AP|Pidgeotto}} in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon!]]'', {{Ash}} tells Caterpie to use {{m|Counter}}; however, Caterpie cannot learn Counter, yet this doesn't stop it from attempting (and failing) to use it anyway.
{| class="roundy sortable" style="margin:auto; background: #{{status color light}}; border: 3px solid #{{status color}}"
* In ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]'', [[James]] ordered [[James's Weezing|his Koffing]] to use {{m|Poison Gas}}.  At the time of the episode airing, Koffing was unable to learn Poison Gas by any means.  However, in Generation II and onwards, Koffing became able to use the move.
! class="unsortable" | Artwork
* In ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'', [[Duplica]] tells her {{tp|Duplica|Ditto}} to use {{m|Constrict}} on [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] after {{m|Transform}}ing into said Bulbasaur.  {{p|Bulbasaur}} cannot learn Constrict by any means.  However, Ditto obeyed, implying that Ash's Bulbasaur may know Constrict.
! Name
** Similarly, in ''[[EP174|Imitation Confrontation]]'', when [[Mini-Dit]] {{m|transform}}s into Totodile, Duplica tells it to use {{m|Tackle}} on Totodile. But {{AP|Totodile}} cannot learn Tackle at all. However, it attacked, showing that Ash's Totodile probably knows Tackle.
! Move
* In ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]'', {{an|Misty}} gets stuck with {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} in her battle with Ash. Ash doesn't battle seriously and has {{AP|Bulbasaur}} simply lick Psyduck's head and tickle it with its vines. This is not to be confused with the actual moves {{m|Lick}} and {{m|Tickle}}, the latter of which was later introduced in [[Generation III]]. Bulbasaur still cannot learn Lick or Tickle.  It is worth noting, however, that Ash's specific words were "Use Tickle!".
! First use
* In ''[[EP104|Bound for Trouble]]'', {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TR|Meowth}} fight against the giant {{p|Rhydon}}. When Meowth jumps on Rhydon's back, he states that he should try a {{m|Tickle}} attack, and then acts like he would. However, Meowth cannot learn Tickle in any generation yet, and as mentioned with Bulbasaur, Tickle was not introduced until Generation III.
! class="unsortable" | Notes
* In ''[[EP271|Playing with Fire!]]'', a {{p|Steelix}} uses {{m|Wrap}}. Steelix cannot learn Wrap, but it can learn {{m|Bind}} (a slightly less accurate version of Wrap with the same effect).
|- style="background:#FFF"
* In ''[[AG016|Winner By a Nosepass!]]'', [[Roxanne]] commands her {{p|Nosepass}} to use {{m|Hyper Beam}} which it cannot in the game. These errors were picked up on in the dub, and the references to Hyper Beam were replaced with {{m|Thunder Wave}} and {{m|Zap Cannon}} (which can be learned by Nosepass).
| [[File:252Treecko.png|96px|link=Treecko (Pokémon)]]
**However, there is evidence that the original version script made a mistake and called it Hyper Beam when it was supposed to be an electric attack. This is seen in {{AP|Pikachu}} being able to absorb Hyper Beam as if it were an electric attack. It also had physical similarities to an electric attack and did not look like a typical Hyper Beam.
| [[Sawyer's Treecko]]
* In ''[[AG026|Turning Over a Nuzleaf]]'', a wild {{p|Nuzleaf}} blew on a leaf to make Ash and {{ashfr|his friends}}' Pokémon drowsy. This attack is strikingly similar to {{m|GrassWhistle}}; a move that Nuzleaf can't learn in the games. However, some of Nuzleaf's Pokédex entries ''do'' state that it uses the leaf on its head as a flute.
| {{m|Razor Leaf}}
* [[Brock's Ludicolo]] knows {{m|Water Gun}} and {{m|Razor Leaf}}, and while it can learn both of those through {{pkmn|breeding}}, it cannot know both of them at once.
| data-sort-value=5064 | ''[[XY064|Battling with Elegance and a Big Smile!]]''
* In ''[[AG170|Second Time's the Charm]]'', {{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}}'s {{p|Espeon}} uses {{m|Zap Cannon}}, which, though impossible to have in [[Generation III]] or {{gen|IV}}, was available to teach to Espeon by [[TM07]] in [[Generation II]].
| {{an|Clemont}} mentioned Treecko having used {{m|Razor Leaf}} during his Gym battle with [[Sawyer]]. In the dub, the move mentioned was changed to {{m|Mega Drain}}, a move that Treecko can learn.
* In ''[[DP028|Drifloon on the Wind!]]'', some {{p|Drifloon}} were used to fly around the area. However, they did not use the actual move {{m|Fly}} (which is just as well, as they are unable to learn the said move). The Pokédex specifically states that a Drifloon can't carry the weight of children - however, three are used at any given time. Similarly, it is also possible for Drifloon to carry players across short distances in {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}.
|}
* In ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'', the fact that {{p|Bronzor}} cannot learn {{m|Teleport}} was also picked up by the producers of the dub, and the appearance of it using Teleport was cut from the episode.
* ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! (Part 1)]]'' and ''[[DP072|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! (Part 2)]]'' feature a {{p|Riolu}} that can use {{m|Aura Sphere}}. This is due to its unique ability to manipulate aura prior to evolution.  This episode is directly based on a mission from {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}} featuring a similar Riolu. This is the only way a Riolu that knows Aura Sphere is available in the games. This error is quite clearly a unique property of the Riolu because it is mentioned in the aforementioned episode itself.

Latest revision as of 18:45, 13 September 2024

In the Pokémon animated series, Pokémon occasionally know moves they cannot learn legitimately in any of the games. It is unknown whether most of these instances are actual mistakes, a writing policy of not having to stick to the games too closely, or merely the Pokémon using an attribute that shares the name of a move in the games. In Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!, Professor Oak states that in times of need, Pokémon can call upon power that had never been known to them previously, such as Ash's Bulbasaur learning Dig.
