This will follow a similar format to the other threads about the legality of removals. I can include secondary event info if people want to but if HTML experience proves it looks ugly (I haven't tested it) I usually don't include important identifying info like OT, ID etc just because of this article Focus more on the legality of deletion than how events are obtained. Hopefully it will be much faster than the previous one!
One big difference I'm currently considering is listing events by Pokemon rather than moves, as event moves are less consistent than other moves from previous generations. I can even get rid of the spawn levels and put them in columns because different Pokémon often do event moves! However, if anyone wants it to be marked for movement, please let me know!I would at least do this with gene 2 and 3 moves because unlike most other genes, these two actually have events that share a lot of moves in common.

to introduce
Throughout the history of competitive Pokémon, Pokémon from special events have been released with exclusive moves, often affecting the competitive format. Since they are often delivered at short notice to certain regions or only to certain generations, the question of legality of relocation can be confusing. This article aims to clear up the confusion and make teaming between the Smogon format and Gamefreak's special battle points easier.
