All Pokémon that learn False Swipe in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

This cut hurts, but not that bad.

Catching Pokémon is my favorite activity in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, and with the addition of Kitakami and new areas in the Teal Mask DLC, there are even more Pokémon for me to catch. However, catching some Pokémon requires careful attacks. Because of this, I like to carry a Pokémon that knows False Swipe, especially in areas with high levels. This may leave you wondering what Pokémon learn False Swipe in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
