Off the top of my head Magikarp, feebas, cosmog, and Cosmoem also belong on this list, as well as silcoon and cascoon. This is incomplete.

Also most Pokemon can learn Hidden Power through TM, so nearly every Pokemon can at least learn one special move

Now u mention "Hidden Power" i'v realized hahaa. Anyway im pretty sure those 4 i named above plus your silcoon and cascoon r by far upon the list for sure as besides some poor Physical àn Status moves such as : Poison Sting, Tackle, Bug Bite iron Defense and Harden i aint think they r capable of learning anything else.
--- Fun Fact : Weedle is the Only out of 1000+ Pokemon that is unable of learning any "Normal-Type" Move

Caterpie and Metapod get Electroweb in Gen 8 and Magikarp gets hydro Pump in gen 8 so none of them

Are you looking for an answer that lists each game and what Pokémon can’t learn a special move in each game, or a list of every Pokémon that has never been able to learn a special move?

Answer 1

In gen 7, the "near-universal" special moves are hidden power and round.

/ds7 !hidden power,!round,!struggle bug,!electroweb,!mirror coat,!gust,!charge beam:

None of these Pokemon learn any other special moves without events, but there was an event Magikarp with hydro pump.

In SwSh, the "near-universal" special moves are round and snore.

/ds8 !round,!snore,!draco meteor,!steel beam,!struggle bug,!hydro pump,!mirror coat:

In BDSP, there are no "near-universal" special moves.

In gen 9, the only "near-universal" special move is tera blast.
