Bulbapedia Idea for egg moves

[Hydrasaur]

How about for egg moves, you add a certain designation for moves that cannot be learned by the pokemon naturally or by TM? This way, people wouldn't have to scroll up to look for moves it cannot normally learn, and could see what moves aren't otherwise learned by the pokemon.

Don't egg move lists already not include moves that can be learned naturally or by TM?

No, it lists egg moves that can be learned naturally.

The vast majority of Egg Moves can only be learned as Egg Moves. While there are some that Pokémon can also learn by leveling up or TM, these are fairly uncommon. (Tutor on the other hand isn't that unusual, since they get introduced in the middle of a generation.)

However, it might be useful to have some way to indicate Egg Moves that a Pokémon can also learn by level. That would be trickier on move pages than Pokémon pages though, since some Egg Moves get added as level up moves in later generations.

Just denote it as a level up move only in the generations that it is.

There's not really a good way to do that.
