>it used to be the signature move of haxorus
The Garchomp line also learned it naturally in gen 5, and a bunch more learned it via move tutor in BW2.

Why Fighting? It's an axe move

Signature moves are often given to other Pokemon later, it's still designed for Axew line

Yeah, key word "later". This was given to other Pokemon in the same game.

Signature =/= exclusive

The Kamehameha is not exclusive to Goku, but it's still his signature move

A signature move is just a move that a Pokemon is heavily associated with, like Blastoise and Hydro Pump, Charizard and Flamethrower, or Pikachu and Thunderbolt.

When used by the Axew line, yes, but Garchomp and all the Fighting Pokemon that learn it are using it like a karate chop.

Also garchomp is still using his arm blades for the attack. It's still not a "karate chop"

"karate chop" is still how the Fighting type Pokemon use it, and how Garchomp would use in its normal form, where it doesn't have arm blades.

I think of it as an axe swing, so Haxorus uses its head and Garchomp uses its arms.

The move description just says "brutals strikes", so it has nothing to do with their axe tusks.

Even Fraxure used its hands to perform the move, so it's pretty clear now with all the other Pokemon that learn the move that it has nothing to with axe blades and is just a double karate chop.

The fan definition of "signature move" is seriously flawed.

Transform is the only move Ditto can learn, yet by retarded Pokemon fan logic, that's not its signature move because Mew can learn it, even though Ditto literally can't do anything else.

A signature move should be defined as a move that you will almost never see a Pokemon without, like Charizard/Flamethrower, Lucario/Aura Sphere, or Greninja/Water Shuriken.

Water Gun should be a single "bullet" of water

It is, the last time Ice Ball was used, it was Alolan Sandslash rolling. And that description is old anyway, the current one is:

>The user attacks the target for five turns. The move's power increases each time it hits.

Gen 7 changed the description to accommodate for Pokemon that can't roll.

Because it's something that's actually observable by looking at the franchise?

>Every Charizard has used Flamethrower
>Every Lucario except Kukui's has used Aura Sphere, and even then, it used Dragon Pulse, another "aura" move
>Every Greninja has used Water Shuriken

The fact that you had to add that facet to the lucario one already makes this an incredibly flawed definition, but beyond that, the flamethrower one is stupid because then you have nearly every fire type in existence that you could say the same about having flamethrower as their signature move, or electrics with thunderbolt, or waters with water gun. That makes it a meaningless term.

Their definition is wrong, and the page itself shows a better name.

>(Japanese: 専用技 exclusive move)

Just call it that. A "signature" doesn't have to be exclusive. If there's never been a Charizard that didn't use Flamethrower, then Flamethrower can be considered a "signature move".

"Signature move" is not an official term, it's pure fanon. It's a fan term that isn't even used correctly. Exclusive is the right word, not "signature".

The anime often takes liberties with attacks. An example is biting moves, sometime it's a literal bite and other times it's projected energy.
