Signature Moves
THIS move is unique to Smeargle and
is the only move it learns by level-up
Sketch
Bug/Ghost
Shedinja
Brock famously calls his rice balls by
THIS very incorrect name in the English
dub of Pokemon
(Jelly) Donuts
THIS Pokemon has been a fan favorite
since its debut in the first game despite
losing hard to the first two Kanto gyms. At
least the remakes gave it metal claw to
have SOMETHING against Brock.
Charmander
I'll be shocked if you can't recognize
THIS famous Pokémon's funny surprised
face XD
Pikachu
In the anime, Misty carried THIS
Pokémon outside its Pokeball after it
hatched, and Ash carried THIS Pokémon
outside its Pokeball since episode 1
Togepi/Pikachu
Gigaton Hammer is the signature move
of THIS Pokemon
Tinkaton
Electric/Ghost (and Electric/Fire)
Rotom
You don't need to be psychic to know a
Christmas episode featuring THIS
Pokémon, allegedly based on Sooty Pete, was removed
from rotation in the US
Jynx
THIS Bug-type Pokémon received an
evolution in Johto, then a second branching
evolution in Hisui
Scyther
Hey guys, did you know that in terms of
male human and female Pokémon
breeding, THIS Pokemon is the most
compatible Pokémon for humans? XD
Vaporeon
THIS dual-type Pokémon, famed
among furries, evolved from THIS pure
fighting earlier stage via friendship
Lucario/Riolu
Salt Cure is the signature move of
THIS evolution line that looks more and
more like Minecraft as they evolve
Nacl/Naclstack/Garganacl
Electric/Poison
Toxel/Toxtricity
THIS Pokémon can be seen destroying
buildings in the original anime opening, but
that episode was temporarily banned from
airing in the US after the September 11
attacks
Tentacruel
THIS future counterpart of Terrakion
can be found on the Paradox Destinies tin,
which is a sign that Pokémon cards are
definitely a good investment!
Iron Boulder
THIS Pokémon has a Gigantimax form,
possibly based on the funny longcat meme.
Maybe it says "I can haz
cheezburger" in a Brooklyn accent XD
Meowth
THIS psychic Pokemon gets a flowing
white beard after mega-evolving, but it's
nothing compared to the glorious Fabio-like
hair that mega-evolving granted to THIS
electric Pokemon
Alakazam/Ampharos
Brits love their football, so THIS Galar
Pokemon got two signature moves: Court
Change and Pyro Ball
Cinderace
Normal/Water
Bibarel
THIS spoon-bending middle stage
Pokémon was the subject of a lawsuit by
magician Uri Geller, who believed it used
his likeness. Sounds stupid until you learn
all 3 pokemon in its line are named after
magicians in Japanese.
If you think THIS Sinnoh bird didn't
deserve a mega evolution in Legends-ZA,
you're just being a contrarian
Staraptor
I just found out about the cool Harlem
Shake dance trend, someone should make
one of those funny memes about me
featuring THIS Pokemon because I'm so
late to learn about it XD
Slowpoke
A flock of THIS angry bird Pokemon
swarmed Ash after he got his Pokedex.
Maybe if THIS electric-type Pokemon had
been inside the Pokedex, Ash would've had
an easier time
Spearow (or Fearow)/Rotom
Dragon Ascent is the signature move of
THIS Pokemon, and just knowing it is
enough to allow it to mega-evolve
Rayquaza
Dragon/Fairy (only when Mega-Evolved)
Altaria
THIS Kanto Elite Four member was
referred to as Prima in the English dub, possibly due to lip syncing with her
Japanese name "Kanna"
Lorelei
Jessie must have really missed Arbok
when she followed Ash to Hoenn, because
the first Pokémon she caught was THIS
other poison snake.
Seviper
THIS is Machoke's funny Pokedex number XD
67
THIS starter Pokémon has a final evolution
playable in Smash Bros, and THIS
Pokemon introduced in the Scarlet/Violet
DLC is one of only 4 Poison/Fighting
Pokémon
Froakie/Okidogi
