Move	Power	Accuracy	PP	Description
Acupressure	-	-	20	Raises a random stat by 2 stages as long as the stat is not already at stage 6. The user can choose to use this move on itself or an adjacent ally. Fails if no stat stage can be raised or if used on an ally with a substitute.
Aerial Ace	60	-	20	This move does not check accuracy.
Baton Pass	-	-	20	The user is replaced with another Pokemon in its party. The selected Pokemon has the user's stat stage changes transferred to it, as well as the effects of confusion, Aqua Ring, Curse, Dragon Cheer, Embargo, Focus Energy, Gastro Acid, Heal Block, Ingrain, Leech Seed, Lock-On (Mind Reader), Magnet Rise, Perish Song, Power Trick, Telekinesis, and a substitute with its remaining HP. The effect of Gastro Acid is not transferred if the recipient has an Ability that cannot be affected.
Brutal Swing	60	100	20	No additional effect.
Calm Mind	-	-	20	Raises the user's Special Attack and Special Defense by 1 stage.
Dark Pulse	80	100	15	Has a 20% chance to make the target flinch.
Destiny Bond	-	-	5	Until 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	-	100	20	For 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.
Double Hit	35	90	10	Hits twice. If the first hit breaks the target's substitute, it will take damage for the second hit.
Double Team	-	-	15	Raises the user's evasiveness by 1 stage.
Endure	-	-	10	The user will survive attacks made by other Pokemon during this turn with at least 1 HP. 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.
Expanding Force	80	100	10	If the current terrain is Psychic Terrain and the user is grounded, this move hits all opposing Pokemon and has its power multiplied by 1.5.
Facade	70	100	20	Power doubles if the user is burned, paralyzed, or poisoned. The physical damage halving effect from the user's burn is ignored.
Fake Tears	-	100	20	Lowers the target's Special Defense by 2 stages.
Flamethrower	90	100	15	Has a 10% chance to burn the target.
Fling	-	100	10	The 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.
Foul Play	95	100	15	Damage is calculated using the target's Attack stat, including stat stage changes. The user's Ability, item, and burn are used as normal.
Future Sight	120	100	10	Deals damage two turns after this move is used. At the end of that turn, the damage is calculated at that time and dealt to the Pokemon at the position the target had when the move was used. If the user is no longer active at the time, damage is calculated based on the user's natural Special Attack stat, types, and level, with no boosts from its held item or Ability. Fails if this move or Doom Desire is already in effect for the target's position.
Giga Impact	150	90	5	If this move is successful, the user must recharge on the following turn and cannot select a move.

Guard Swap	-	-	10	The user swaps its Defense and Special Defense stat stage changes with the target.
Helping Hand	-	-	20	The power of the target's attack this turn is multiplied by 1.5 (this effect is stackable). Fails if there is no ally adjacent to the user or if the ally already moved this turn, but does not fail if the ally is using a two-turn move.
Hyper Beam	150	90	5	If this move is successful, the user must recharge on the following turn and cannot select a move.
Hypnosis	-	60	20	Causes the target to fall asleep.
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. 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.

Light Screen	-	-	20	For 5 turns, the user and its party members take 0.5× damage from special attacks, or 0.66× damage if in a Double Battle. Damage is not reduced further with Aurora Veil. Critical hits ignore this effect. It is removed from the user's side if the user or an ally is successfully hit by Brick Break, Psychic Fangs, or Defog.

Payback	50	100	10	Power doubles if the user moves after the target this turn, including actions taken through Instruct or the Dancer Ability. Switching in does not count as an action.
Pluck	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.
Poison Jab	80	100	20	Has a 30% chance to poison the target.
Protect	-	-	5	The 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.

Psychic	90	100	10	Has a 10% chance to lower the target's Special Defense by 1 stage.
Psychic Noise	75	100	10	For 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.
Psycho Cut	70	100	20	Has a higher chance for a critical hit.
Psyshock	80	100	10	Deals damage to the target based on its Defense instead of Special Defense.

Reflect	-	-	20	For 5 turns, the user and its party members take 0.5× damage from physical attacks, or 0.66× damage if in a Double Battle. Damage is not reduced further with Aurora Veil. Critical hits ignore this effect. It is removed from the user's side if the user or an ally is successfully hit by Brick Break, Psychic Fangs, or Defog. Lasts for 8 turns if the user is holding Light Clay. Fails if the effect is already active on the user's side.
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.
Reversal	-	100	15	The power of this move is 20 if X is 33 to 48, 40 if X is 17 to 32, 80 if X is 10 to 16, 100 if X is 5 to 9, 150 if X is 2 to 4, and 200 if X is 0 or 1, where X is equal to (user's current HP × 48 / user's maximum HP), rounded down.
Rock Slide	75	90	10	Has a 30% chance to make the target flinch.
Round	60	100	15	If 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.

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.

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.
Taunt	-	100	20	Prevents 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.
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.
