FRLG & Emerald Double-edge The user receives 1/3 recoil damage. Physical Damage Normal 120 100%
FRLG & Emerald Dream Eater Restores the user's HP by 1/2 of the damage inflicted on the target but only works on a sleeping target. Special Damage Psychic 100 100%
FRLG & Emerald Mimic This move is temporarily replaced by the target's last move; the replacement move will have 5 PP and become part of the user's moveset until the user switches out or the battle ends. Mimic copies attacks even if they miss or the user has immunity toward their type; it cannot copy itself, Struggle, Transform, Sketch, Metronome or moves that the user already knows, and it will fail if the target has yet to use a move. Other Damage Normal N/A 100%
FRLG & Emerald Substitute The user takes one-fourth of its maximum HP to create a substitute; this move fails if the user does not have enough HP for this. Until the substitute is broken, it receives damage from all attacks made by other Pokemon and shields the user from status effects and stat modifiers caused by other Pokemon. The user is still affected by Tickle, Hail, Sandstorm and Attract from behind its Substitute. If a Substitute breaks from a hit during a multistrike move such as Fury Attack, the user takes damage from the remaining strikes. Other Damage Normal N/A N/A
Emerald Endure Almost always goes first. The user is left with at least 1 HP following any attacks for one turn, but the move's success rate halves with each consecutive use of Protect, Detect or Endure. Other Damage Normal N/A N/A
Emerald Sleep Talk Does nothing if the user is awake. If the user asleep, it randomly performs one of its attacks. Rest will fail if it is selected. Sleep Talk's generated attacks do not cost PP, but it cannot generate moves with 0 PP, itself, Assist, Bide, Disabled attacks, Focus Punch, Metronome, Mirror Move, Uproar, or attacks with a charge-up turn like Fly or Skull Bash. (Moves with a recharge turn like Hyper Beam can be generated.) Other Damage Normal Copy N/A
Emerald Snore Has a 30% chance to make the target flinch; fails if user is awake. Special Damage Normal 40 100%
Emerald Swagger Confuses the target and raises its Attack by 2 stages. Other Damage Normal N/A 90%
Emerald Swift Ignores Evasion and Accuracy modifiers and never misses except against Protect, Detect or a target in the middle of Dig, Fly, Dive or Bounce. Special Damage Normal 60 100%
XD Nightmare This move only works on a sleeping target; as long as the target remains asleep and in battle, 1/4 of its max HP is sapped after each turn. Other Damage Ghost N/A 100%
