What are all the Pokémon that could learn moves in previous gens and now can't?

Question

I'm pretty sure someone asked this, but I can't find that question and I really need it.
Lol thanks for understanding that I know I am gonna ask a question that is closed :P

That's trolly.

I feel as though this question might count as one of those overly hard to answer questions that have nearly no use other than trivia.

Why do you need this?

---

vaporeon is one

I don't think so, I'm REALLY SURE that someone asked this, and there was a Bulbapedia link for it

---

@A.V. - Those Pokémon would have to breed to get those moves, meaning they can't "learn" those moves naturally. But I guess they could count?

---

They count tbh.

---

@SYL! - Okay.

i Don’t Know all the Pokemon but here are a few:

Charmander could learn metal claw by level up in Gen1
Pikachu can no longer learn skull bash, mega punch/kick
Shedinja used to be able to learn swords dance in gen 4
Machamp used to be able to use fissure
Flareon could use rage in gen1
Articuno can no longer learn bubblebeam like ion gen1gen1

And i’m Sure there a many more but these are some that come to mind if you go to seribii.net there is a list called transfer only moves, you should find more answers there. These links contain all the info that you would need, hope this helped:)

Converted into a comment because this is very obviously an incomplete answer. Don't answer if you know that you can't fully answer the question.

---

Dumb question, but considering the introduction of transferring from Gen 1 and Gen 2 Virtual Console, doesn't that mean that those exceptions are completely out of the question?

---

What exceptions?

---

An exception that comes to mind are the Gen 1 TMs, there's a lot of real weird moves like Rage and Bubblebeam that could only be learned in RBY.

Answer 1

It's not clear exactly what you're looking for, because the answer is almost every Pokemon has moves they could learn in a previous generation but now can't. It would be impossible to list them all here - there are over 8800 moves. That's what the "transfer-only moves" shows in our Pokedex.

There are just a few exceptions, i.e. Pokemon who don't have transfer moves:

• Caterpie
• Metapod
• Weedle
• Kakuna
• Magikarp
• Ditto
• Unown
• Wobbuffet
• Smeargle
• Wurmple
• Silcoon
• Cascoon
• Wynaut
• Tynamo
• Scatterbug
• Spewpa

Their moves have stayed pretty much the same throughout the generations.
