Do 'riased tail' Pokemon have different moves?
Nov. 21, 2014I just caught a (wild) Poochyena with Ice fang, but no tackle. Is this what everyone else has experienced, or do I have a glitch?

If you tiptoe up to Pokémon sticking out of the tall grass (using the circle pad), battle and then capture them, they may have “special moves”.
Occasionally, in tall grass, water or other places wild Pokémon pop up, you’ll see the shadow of a Pokémon appear in the overworld. If you run toward it, it will disappear; instead, you have to sneak up on the Pokémon by slightly tilting the analog stick — another new feature for the series.
Pokémon caught using that method are usually the rarest and highest level in a given area, and often feature moves that they normally wouldn’t start out with.
