Will a wild Pokemon naturally know its level up moves at certain levels in gen 1?

May. 17, 2021

I know this might sound like a strange question, but I was wondering if a Pokemon, such as mew, will naturally learn its level up moves if found above those levels in the wild. For example, mew learns pound at level 1, so if I find a wild level 7 mew, it will know pound. It learns its second move, transform, at level 10. So if I find a wild mew level 10 or higher, will it know pound and transform?

Yes, a Pokemon found at any level, knows the closest level up moves it can know(obviously not ahead of it’s level, like a level 5 Rattata’s not gonna know Quick Attack, it’s level 7 move), so in Gen I a level 50 Mew would know: Super Fang, Hyper Fang, Focus Energy, and Quick Attack.Source: Knowlege and expierence catching Pokemon, and the Rattata line pages.
