Legacy moves of Pokémon refer to the moves which are not possible to obtain for a specific Pokémon under normal circumstances. Standard Technical Machines are not able to obtain legacy moves. Many players consider them rare and valuable for trading.
The introduction of Elite TMs and Special Attack Items enables Pokémon to learn legacy moves at any time. However, a few Pokémon have legacy moves that are still not able to be taught by any means. The Pokémon GO Wiki calls them true legacy moves and they are written in italics in this list.
Legacy moves can be classified into three types:
- Moves that are no longer available for specific Pokémon due to updates. The majority of them occurred in 2016 to early 2017.
- Moves that are only available for specific Pokémon during certain events. They can be already existing moves in the game or newly-added ones.
- Moves that are taught using Special Attack Items and cannot be obtained using Elite TMs.
