In the [[Pokémon anime]], there will often come up a Pokémon that knows a move it cannot learn legitimately in any of the {{pkmn|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}}.

Latest revision as of 21:44, 19 January 2025

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.
