Confuse Ray-10010Causes the target to become confused.
Corrosive Gas-10020The target loses its held item.

Curse--10If the user is not a Ghost type, lowers the user's Speed by 1 stage and raises the user's Attack and Defense by 1 stage. If the user is a Ghost type, the user loses 1/2 of its maximum HP, rounded down and even if it would cause fainting, in exchange for the target losing 1/4 of its maximum HP, rounded down, at the end of each turn while it is active. If the target uses Baton Pass, the replacement will continue to be affected. Fails if there is no target or if the target is already affected.
Dark Pulse8010015Has a 20% chance to make the target flinch.
Dazzling Gleam8010010No additional effect.
Destiny Bond--5Until the user's next move, if an opposing Pokemon's attack knocks the user out, that Pokemon faints as well, unless the attack was Doom Desire or Future Sight. Fails if the user used this move successfully as its last move, disregarding moves used through the Dancer Ability.
Disable-10020For 4 turns, the target's last move used becomes disabled. Fails if one of the target's moves is already disabled, if the target has not made a move, if the target no longer knows the move, or if the move was a Max or G-Max Move.

Fling-10010The power of this move is based on the user's held item. The held item is lost and it activates for the target if applicable. If there is no target or the target avoids this move by protecting itself, the user's held item is still lost. The user can regain a thrown item with Recycle or the Harvest Ability. Fails if the user has no held item, if the held item cannot be thrown, if the user is under the effect of Embargo or Magic Room, or if the user has the Klutz Ability.

Knock Off6510020This 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. A target with the Sticky Hold Ability does not lose its held item if it has not fainted. This move does not increase in power or remove the target's item 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.

Perish Song--5Each active Pokemon receives a perish count of 4 if it doesn't already have a perish count. At the end of each turn including the turn used, the perish count of all active Pokemon lowers by 1 and Pokemon faint if the number reaches 0. The perish count is removed from Pokemon that switch out. If a Pokemon uses Baton Pass while it has a perish count, the replacement will gain the perish count and continue to count down.
Phantom Force9010010If this move is successful, it breaks through the target's Baneful Bunker, Detect, King's Shield, Protect, or Spiky Shield for this turn, allowing other Pokemon to attack the target normally. If the target's side is protected by Crafty Shield, Mat Block, Quick Guard, or Wide Guard, that protection is also broken for this turn and other Pokemon may attack the target's side normally. This attack charges on the first turn and executes on the second. On the first turn, the user avoids all attacks. If the user is holding a Power Herb, the move completes in one turn.
Poison Jab8010020Has a 30% chance to poison the target.
Poltergeist110905Fails if the target has no held item.
Protect--5The user is protected from most attacks made by other Pokemon during this turn. This move has a 1/X chance of being successful, where X starts at 1 and triples each time this move is successfully used. X resets to 1 if this move fails, if the user's last move used is not Baneful Bunker, Burning Bulwark, Detect, Endure, King's Shield, Max Guard, Obstruct, Protect, Quick Guard, Silk Trap, Spiky Shield, or Wide Guard, or if it was one of those moves and the user's protection was broken. Fails if the user moves last this turn.
Psych Up--10The user copies all of the target's current stat stage changes.
Psychic9010010Has a 10% chance to lower the target's Special Defense by 1 stage.
Psychic Noise7510010For 2 turns, the target is prevented from restoring any HP as long as it remains active. During the effect, healing and draining moves are unusable, and Abilities and items that grant healing will not heal the user. If an affected Pokemon uses Baton Pass, the replacement will remain unable to restore its HP. Pain Split and the Regenerator Ability are unaffected.
Rain Dance--5For 5 turns, the weather becomes Rain. The damage of Water-type attacks is multiplied by 1.5 and the damage of Fire-type attacks is multiplied by 0.5 during the effect. Lasts for 8 turns if the user is holding Damp Rock. Fails if the current weather is Rain.
Reflect Type--15Causes the user's types to become the same as the current types of the target. If the target's current types include typeless and a non-added type, typeless is ignored. If the target's current types include typeless and an added type from Forest's Curse or Trick-or-Treat, typeless is copied as the Normal type instead. Fails if the user is an Arceus or a Silvally, if the user is Terastallized, or if the target's current type is typeless alone.
Rest--5The 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.
Round6010015If there are other active Pokemon that chose this move for use this turn, those Pokemon take their turn immediately after the user, in Speed order, and this move's power is 120 for each other user.
Scary Face-10010Lowers the target's Speed by 2 stages.
Self-Destruct2001005The user faints after using this move, even if this move fails for having no target. This move is prevented from executing if any active Pokemon has the Damp Ability.
Shadow Ball8010015Has a 20% chance to lower the target's Special Defense by 1 stage.
Shadow Claw7010015Has a higher chance for a critical hit.

Spite-10010Causes 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.
Substitute--10The 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 Punch701005Fails 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.
Sunny Day--5For 5 turns, the weather becomes Sun. The damage of Fire-type attacks is multiplied by 1.5 and the damage of Water-type attacks is multiplied by 0.5 during the effect. Lasts for 8 turns if the user is holding Heat Rock. Fails if the current weather is Sun.
Taunt-10020Prevents the target from using non-damaging moves for its next three turns. Pokemon with the Oblivious Ability or protected by the Aroma Veil Ability are immune.
Thief6010020If 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.
Thunder1107010Has a 30% chance to paralyze the target. This move can hit a target using Bounce, Fly, or Sky Drop, or is under the effect of Sky Drop. If the weather is Heavy Rain or Rain, this move does not check accuracy. If the weather is Intense Sun or Sun, this move's accuracy is 50%. If this move is used against a Pokemon holding Utility Umbrella, this move's accuracy remains at 70%.
Thunder Punch7510015Has a 10% chance to paralyze the target.
Thunder Wave-9020Paralyzes the target. This move does not ignore type immunity.
Thunderbolt9010015Has a 10% chance to paralyze the target.

Toxic Spikes--20Sets 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.
Trick-10010The user swaps its held item with the target's held item. Fails if both the user and the target have no held item, or if the user is trying to give or take a Blue Orb, Red Orb, Adamant Crystal, Lustrous Globe, Griseous Core, Plate, Drive, Memory, Rusted Sword, Rusted Shield, Booster Energy, or Mask to or from a Kyogre, Groudon, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Arceus, Genesect, Silvally, Zacian, Zamazenta, Paradox Pokemon, or Ogerpon, respectively. 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. The target is immune to this move if it has the Sticky Hold Ability.
Trick Room--5For 5 turns, the Speed of every Pokemon is recalculated for the purposes of determining turn order. During the effect, each Pokemon's Speed is considered to be (10000 - its normal Speed), and if this value is greater than 8191, 8192 is subtracted from it. If this move is used during the effect, the effect ends.
Venoshock6510010Power doubles if the target is poisoned.
Will-O-Wisp-8515Burns the target.
