So I was making a Fakemon, and I was trying to gauge how many Pokémon learn Dark Pulse by level up, and I realized I couldn't use /ds to do this. I'd like to request this feature for people who like to learn from certain statistics using existing Pokémon.

I'd also think something like this would also be useful for in-game purposes if expanded a bit, more specifically also separating by level up, TM, HM, tutor, breeding (aka, egg moves), and events.
Currently the /learn command does give some infrastructure for this, however the issue lies in that such command currently combines nearly everything but events in a single category, for example:
(Egg move)
(TM move)
(level up move, but not learnable by TM)
And then there's more explicit cases like this, yet remain vague as the exact method in the respective game isn't too elaborated on:
I would imagine it'd be divided in multiple subcommands with self explanatory names ("level up", "egg", "hm", "tm", "tutor", and "event") for convenience, but on the bright side it does seem that PS already separates internally in that manner for the most part, so it'd be more of a matter of getting the /ds command to provide more specific results and to filter accordingly.
It'd also be worth asking if this could also be extended for use for moves exclusive to Legends Arceus, probably by also adding another subcommand to include PLA stuff ("pla"?) in the search, but it'd be worth noting that'd require also implementing PLA learnsets, which isn't much of an issue for the most part as the formatting for that kind of stuff has minimal variability from what's already done and the issue would be more so on the research, but could require some extra reworks as there's no PLA format in PS, and it'd be ideal to avoid legality mixups with SwSh.
