This is a list of all the moves Pokémon can learn. These are displayed in alphabetical order.

Until Generation III the physical and special categories were classified by type, not by move. The only ones that were according to the move were the ones classified in other. They were ordered this way:

Category Type of moves
Physical type Type Bug - Type Fighting - Type Flying - Type Ghost - Type Ground - Type Normal - Type Poison - Type Rock - Type Steel
Special type Type Dark - Type Dragon - Type Electric - Type Fire - Type Grass - Type Ice - Type Psychic - Type Water
Other type Varies according to the move

From Generation IV onward, each category depends on the move, not on the type. The ones that were classified as other keep their condition, however.
