Because that's really weird. I can't think of any gen 1 signature attacks other than Bone Club and Bonemerang though.

Damn, Kinesis is just so forgettable.

Can't believe I forgot one of the only poison attacks in gen 1 though.

Goldeen/Seaking had Waterfall. It became an HM in the following gen but for just Gen 1, it was their signature move.

I was thinking tri attack for Dodrio but realized it was a TM when I looked it up.

On that note, the other day I realized that the three Trio Pokemon of Gen 1 also form a "Weakness triangle" between them.

Magneton strong against Dodrio. Dodrio immune to Dugtrio. Dugtrio strong against Magneton.

It's like poetry, it rhymes.

Twineedle was Bug; it just had a chance to poison.

Still applies because it was one of the only three Bug moves back then (and all of them were weak).

iirc, Twineedle could poison Poison types in Gen 1 and Steel types in Gen 2 until they fixed it later on

IMO the term "signature move" doesn't carry as much weight in Gen I because the Pokmon pool was small enough such that you can want a Pokemon to have a move that simply doesn't fit on any other mon. Once you have 500 pokemon or a thousand it becomes more noteworthy that only one Pokmon can use a particular move.
