On the first turn, the user avoids all attacks other than Gust, Hurricane, Sky Uppercut, Smack Down, Thousand Arrows, Thunder, and Twister, and Gust and Twister have doubled power when used against it. If the user is holding a Power Herb, the move completes in one turn.
Bug Bite	60	100	20	If this move is successful and the user has not fainted, it steals the target's held Berry if it is holding one and eats it immediately, gaining its effects even if the user's item is being ignored. Items lost to this move cannot be regained with Recycle or the Harvest Ability.

Causes damage to the target equal to 1/8 of its maximum HP (1/6 if the user is holding Binding Band), rounded down, at the end of each turn during effect. The target can still switch out if it is holding Shed Shell or uses Baton Pass, Flip Turn, Parting Shot, Shed Tail, Teleport, U-turn, or Volt Switch. The effect ends if either the user or the target leaves the field, or if the target uses Mortal Spin, Rapid Spin, or Substitute successfully. This effect is not stackable or reset by using this or another binding move.
Knock Off	65	100	20	This move's power is multiplied by 1.5 if the target is holding an item, and the target loses its held item if the user has not fainted.

Rest	-	-	5	The user falls asleep for the next two turns and restores all of its HP, curing itself of any non-volatile status condition in the process. Fails if the user has full HP, is already asleep, or if another effect is preventing sleep.

Solar Beam	120	100	10	This attack charges on the first turn and executes on the second. Power is halved if the weather is Heavy Rain, Rain, Sandstorm, or Snow and the user is not holding Utility Umbrella. If the user is holding a Power Herb or the weather is Intense Sun or Sun, the move completes in one turn. If the user is holding Utility Umbrella and the weather is Intense Sun or Sun, the move still requires a turn to charge.
Spite	-	100	10	Causes the target's last move used to lose 4 PP. Fails if the target has not made a move, if the move has 0 PP, or if it no longer knows the move.
Sticky Web	-	-	20	Sets up a hazard on the opposing side of the field, lowering the Speed by 1 stage of each opposing Pokemon that switches in, unless it is a Flying-type Pokemon or has the Levitate Ability. Fails if the effect is already active on the opposing side. Can be removed from the opposing side if any Pokemon uses Tidy Up, or if any opposing Pokemon uses Mortal Spin, Rapid Spin, or Defog successfully, or is hit by Defog.
Stomping Tantrum	75	100	10	Power doubles if the user's last move on the previous turn, including moves called by other moves or those used through Instruct, Magic Coat, Snatch, or the Dancer or Magic Bounce Abilities, failed to do any of its normal effects, not including damage from an unsuccessful High Jump Kick, Jump Kick, or Mind Blown, or if the user was prevented from moving by any effect other than recharging or Sky Drop. A move that was blocked by Baneful Bunker, Detect, King's Shield, Protect, Spiky Shield, Crafty Shield, Mat Block, Quick Guard, or Wide Guard will not double this move's power, nor will Bounce or Fly ending early due to the effect of Gravity, Smack Down, or Thousand Arrows.

Struggle Bug	50	100	20	Has a 100% chance to lower the target's Special Attack by 1 stage.
Substitute	-	-	10	The user takes 1/4 of its maximum HP, rounded down, and puts it into a substitute to take its place in battle. The substitute is removed once enough damage is inflicted on it, if the user switches out or faints, or if any Pokemon uses Tidy Up. Baton Pass can be used to transfer the substitute to an ally, and the substitute will keep its remaining HP. Until the substitute is broken, it receives damage from all attacks made by other Pokemon and shields the user from status effects and stat stage changes caused by other Pokemon. Sound-based moves and Pokemon with the Infiltrator Ability ignore substitutes. The user still takes normal damage from weather and status effects while behind its substitute. If the substitute breaks during a multi-hit attack, the user will take damage from any remaining hits. If a substitute is created while the user is trapped by a binding move, the binding effect ends immediately. Fails if the user does not have enough HP remaining to create a substitute without fainting, or if it already has a substitute.
Sucker Punch	70	100	5	Fails if the target did not select a physical attack, special attack, or Me First for use this turn, or if the target moves before the user.

Swords Dance	-	-	20	Raises the user's Attack by 2 stages.
Thief	60	100	20	If this attack was successful and the user has not fainted, it steals the target's held item if the user is not holding one. A target with the Sticky Hold Ability does not lose its held item if it has not fainted. The target's item is not stolen if it is a Blue Orb, Red Orb, Adamant Crystal, Lustrous Globe, Griseous Core, Plate, Drive, Memory, Rusted Sword, Rusted Shield, Booster Energy, or Mask held by a Kyogre, Groudon, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Arceus, Genesect, Silvally, Zacian, Zamazenta, Paradox Pokemon, or Ogerpon, respectively, or if the user is one of those species and the target is holding the respective item. In this case, Paradox Pokemon include every species with the Protosynthesis and Quark Drive Abilities, except Gouging Fire, Raging Bolt, Iron Boulder, and Iron Crown. Items lost to this move cannot be regained with Recycle or the Harvest Ability.
Throat Chop	80	100	15	For 2 turns, the target cannot use sound-based moves.

Toxic Spikes	-	-	20	Sets up a hazard on the opposing side of the field, poisoning each opposing Pokemon that switches in, unless it is a Flying-type Pokemon or has the Levitate Ability. Can be used up to two times before failing. Opposing Pokemon become poisoned with one layer and badly poisoned with two layers. Can be removed from the opposing side if any Pokemon uses Tidy Up, or if any opposing Pokemon uses Mortal Spin, Rapid Spin, or Defog successfully, is hit by Defog, or a grounded Poison-type Pokemon switches in. Safeguard prevents the opposing party from being poisoned on switch-in, but a substitute does not.
