What do exclamation points mean on hidden Pokemon in OR/AS?

Question

I keep finding hidden Pokemon and those exclamation points over the moves and level and abilities and stuff confuse me. Can anyone tell me what each one means?

Answer 1

The Exclamation Marks mean that the Pokemon's First Move is a move it can't normally get.
An exclamation over its Ability means it has its Hidden Ability

This Poocheyna has Exclamation Marks over its move, Fire Fang because its an Egg Move.
There is an Exclamation Mark over its Ability as Rattled is Poocheyna's Hidden Ability

Edit :

Don't forget that the exclamation point also applies to high levelled Pokémon (usually around 10 above average).
