Unique Moves
Whats that noise? You'll hear this small bird Chattering all day. No wonder his head is a musical note.
Chatot
Pikachu didn't get a "clone" in generation 2 because of Pichu. However, we thought it did with this Pokemon we famously called "Pika-blue"
Marill
This generation's 3 starter pokemon perfectly embodied rock-paper-scissors. Even their secondary types were super effective as well.
Gen 6
This water Pokemon is one of, if not only, pokemon that can devolve! (in the anime of course)
Slowbro/Slowking
This legendary was already powerful, but got a new form giving it the highest Special Attack stat of any Pokemon.
Mewtwo
Ash's Pikachu is known to use a very powerful move. But did you know that its actually unique to the Pikachu line?
Volt Tackle
This Pika-clone was the first to have a dual typing.
Emolga
This starter pokemon is the only one who's secondary typing changes. (Note: Changes, not getting one added).
Rowlett
Generally, Ice Pokemon were no threat to Water types. That is, until they released this Ice move that is super effective to water types.
Freeze-Dry
Legendary Pokemon can take all shapes and sizes... Besides this one type. The only type to not have one.
Bug
Luster Purge, the iconic signature move from Latios. But did you know its counterpart Latias has a different one?
Mist Ball
Plusle and Minun are a tag-team duo, even having these two corresponding abilities that boost their special attack if in a double battle together.
Plus and Minus
Charmander struggled with the first gym leader, Brock, until it received this move in generation 3 to help deal with its rock counters.
Metal Claw
Water-type gym leaders usually give out the Water Pulse TM. In generation 1, this move didn't exist, so Misty gave the TM for this iconic, now weak, water move.
Bubblebeam
Entei
Kinesis
Raichu was originally meant to evolve into a Pokemon with this name, however it was never released.
Gorochu
Did you know you could get a Johto Starter in Emerald? Good luck though, it required this feat before you could speak to Professor Birch.

The Global Trade System automatically detected offensive nicknames and made them ineligible to trade. This water Pokemon was caught in the crossfire because the last 4 letters in its name is a much darker nickname for a certain crime.
Sharpedo
Legendaries are usually hard to catch. However, this legendary has a 100% catch rate due to its high relevancy in the story.
Eternus
Octazooka! What a cool signatur- wait... Octillery isn't the only one to know this move. And No, I don't mean the other Octopus Grappoloct, I mean THIS (non-octopus) Pokemon who can learn it via breeding.
Horsea
Many people remember Pachirisu being famously used in the Pokemon Championship with great success. But fewer know the reason it was chosen because it knew this move.
Follow Me
This Starter Pokemon is the only Starter whose Japanese name is the same as their English name.
Chikorita
Eevee almost wasn't a mascot for the "Let's Go!" games. Instead, they nearly went with this iconic loveable-loser.
Psyduck
The Legendary Muskateers have another, more official name. Hints of this name can be found in their shared typing & "Justified" ability.
Swords of Justice
