TCG
Dark Primeape: Although Primeapes have always been mean, lately they seem to be becoming even more vicious and frenzied.
Primeape: This Pokémon only calms down when there are no other animals or people around - which means no one has even seen it when it's not angry.
Attacks 2-5 times in one turn; if one of these attacks breaks a target's Substitute, the target will take damage for the rest of the hits. This move has a 3/8 chance to hit twice, a 3/8 chance to hit three times, a 1/8 chance to hit four times and a 1/8 chance to hit five times.
The user attacks uncontrollably until it faints or its target faints. During this time, the user's Attack increases by 1 stage for each time it is hit by the target. If this move misses, the user continues to attack but has only a 1/256 chance to land a hit.

The user's held item is thrown at the target. Base power and additional effects vary depending on the thrown item. Note that the target will instantly benefit from the effects of thrown berries. The held item is gone for the rest of the battle unless Recycle is used; the item will return to the original holder after wireless battles but will be permanently lost if it is thrown during in-game battles.

This move has a 3/8 chance to hit twice, a 3/8 chance to hit three times, a 1/8 chance to hit four times and a 1/8 chance to hit five times. If the user of this move has Skill Link, this move will always strike five times.
Base power doubles if, since the beginning of the current turn, the target has taken residual damage from any factors such as recoil, Spikes, Stealth Rock or the effects of holding Life Orb.
Each healthy (i.e. not fainted nor inflicted with a status condition) Pokemon in your party contributes a typeless 10 base power hit determined solely by their base Attack and Defense stats.
Almost always goes last; if an opponent strikes with a Physical attack before the user's turn, the user retaliates for twice the damage it had endured.
Until the target faints or switches, the user's Accuracy modifiers and the target's Evasion modifiers are ignored. Ghost-type targets also lose their immunities against Normal-type and Fighting-type moves.

Almost always goes last; if an opponent strikes with a Physical attack before the user's turn, the user retaliates for twice the damage it had endured. In double battles, this attack targets the last opponent to hit the user with a Physical attack and cannot hit the user's teammate.
Until the target faints or switches, the user's Accuracy modifiers and the target's Evasion modifiers are ignored. Ghost-type targets also lose their immunities against Normal-type and Fighting-type moves.

Almost always goes last; if an opponent strikes with a Physical attack before the user's turn, the user retaliates for twice the damage it had endured. In double battles, this attack targets the last opponent to hit the user with a Physical attack and cannot hit the user's teammate.
The target is forced to use its last attack for the next 2-6 turns. The effects of this move will end immediately if the target runs out of PP for the repeated attack. In double battles, a Pokemon who has received an Encore will target a random opponent with single-target attacks.
Until the target faints or switches, the user's Accuracy modifiers and the target's Evasion modifiers are ignored. Ghost-type targets also lose their immunities against Normal-type and Fighting-type moves.
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.
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.)
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.
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.
The target's most recent move is reduced by 4 PP; this fails if the target has not yet performed a move, if the target's last move has run out of PP, or if the target can only use Struggle.
The user causes an Uproar and attacks uncontrollably for 2-5 turns. During the effects of the Uproar, active Pokemon cannot fall asleep and sleeping Pokemon sent into battle will wake up.
Almost always goes first. Until the end of the turn, the user will reflect one disabling move back at its user (including teammates); these include status effect inducers, confusion inducers (including Flatter and Swagger), Attract, trapping moves that do not damage, Leech Seed, Worry Seed, Gastro Acid and negative stat modifiers (except Defog). In double battles, Magic Coat will only reflect the first applicable move performed against its user before wearing off.
The target is badly poisoned, with the damage caused by poison doubling after each turn. However, Toxic poisoning will revert to normal poisoning if the poisoned Pokemon is switched out or uses Haze. Damage caused by Leech Seed will also increase as Toxic damage increases.
In Stadium, the user becomes uncontrollable during its next turn. Otherwise, the user attacks on turn one but it doesn't recharge on turn two if it KOs the target, breaks its Substitute or misses entirely.
The player picks up extra money after in-game battles; the money received is equal to: [user's level * 2 * number of times Pay Day is used]. The player does not lose money if the opponent uses Pay Day but the player wins the battle.
Almost always goes last; if an opponent strikes with a Normal- or Fighting-type attack before the user's turn, the user retaliates for twice the damage it had endured.
The user attacks uncontrollably until it faints or its target faints. During this time, the user's Attack increases by 1 stage for each time it is hit by the target. If this move misses, the user continues to attack but has only a 1/256 chance to land a hit.
On the first turn, the user digs underground, becoming uncontrollable, and evades all attacks. Swift may still hit a Pokemon underground. On the second turn, the user attacks.
This move is temporarily replaced by one of the target's moves; after one PP is subtracted to use this move, the replacement move will retain Mimic's remaining PP. The user can select any of the target's moves to copy until the end of the battle or until the user switches out. There are no move restrictions on Mimic other than itself and Struggle. However, in a link battle, Mimic will copy one of the target's attacks randomly.
The user absorbs all damage for 2-3 turns and then inflicts twice the absorbed damage on its target. This move ignores the target's type but still cannot hit Ghost-type Pokemon.
The user performs a randomly selected move; almost any move in the game could be picked. Metronome cannot generate itself, Struggle or any move that the user already knows.
The user is cured of status effects (and confusion), and recovers full HP, but falls asleep for 2 turns (and then uses a third turn to wake up). However, this move fails if the user's current HP is 511 or 255 HP below its value at full health.
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. In-game, the user can still be inflicted with status effects and stat modifiers from other Pokemon, but this is fixed in Pokemon Stadium. If a Substitute breaks from a hit during a multistrike move such as Fury Attack, the user takes damage from the remaining strikes.
When used by a Ghost-type, the user sacrifices half of its max HP to sap the target by 1/4 of its max HP per turn. When used by anything else, the user's Speed is decreased by 1 stage and its Attack and Defense are increased by 1 stage.
The target is badly poisoned, with the damage caused by poison doubling after each turn. However, Toxic poisoning will revert to normal poisoning if the poisoned Pokemon is switched out.
Cancels all other weather moves. For 5 turns: freezing is prevented, the power of Fire attacks is increased by 50%, the power of Water attacks is decreased by 50%, Solarbeam fires immediately, Thunder becomes 50% accurate, and the healing power of Morning Sun, Synthesis and Moonlight is doubled.
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.
Has a ~30% chance to paralyze the target. Has 50% accuracy during Sunny Day and 100% accuracy during Rain Dance. Also has normal accuracy against mid-air Pokemon have used Fly.
On the first turn, the user digs underground, becoming uncontrollable, and evades all attacks. Earthquake, Magnitude and Fissure can hit underground, with Earthquake and Magnitude having doubled power; the user may also be hit underground if it was previously targeted by Lock-On or Mind Reader. On the second turn, the user attacks.
Does nothing if the user is awake. If the user asleep, it randomly performs one of its attacks. If Rest is selected, user recovers its HP and stays asleep for two more turns. Sleep Talk can choose an attack that has run out of PP; the generated attacks also do not cost PP, and it cannot generate itself, Bide, Disabled attacks or two-turn attacks with a charge-up turn like Fly or Skull Bash. (Moves with a recharge turn like Hyper Beam can be generated.)
At the beginning of the round, the user tightens its focus; the attack itself usually goes last and will fail if the user is attacked by any other Pokemon during the turn.
The target is badly poisoned, with the damage caused by poison doubling after each turn. Toxic poisoning will remain with the Pokemon during the battle even after switching out.
Cancels all other weather moves. For 5 turns: freezing is prevented, the power of Fire attacks is increased by 50%, the power of Water attacks is decreased by 50%, Solarbeam fires immediately, Thunder becomes 50% accurate, and the healing power of Morning Sun, Synthesis and Moonlight is increased from 1/2 to 2/3 of the user's max HP.

On the first turn, the user digs underground, becoming uncontrollable, and evades all attacks. Earthquake and Magnitude can hit underground and gain doubled power. The user may also be hit underground if it was previously targeted by Lock-On or Mind Reader or if it is attacked by a Pokemon with No Guard. On the second turn, the user attacks.
This move has a 30% chance to inflict a side effect depending on the battle's current terrain. The target may be put to sleep in any type of grass (or in puddles and very shallow water), its Attack may be lowered by 1 stage while surfing on river or ocean water, its Defense may be lowered by 1 stage while diving underwater, its Speed may be lowered by 1 stage while surfing on pond water, its Accuracy may be lowered by 1 stage on beach and desert sand, it may flinch in caves, it may become confused on rocky outdoor terrain, it may be poisoned on ashy terrain and it may become paralyzed everywhere else (including link battles).
The user is cured of status effects (and confusion), and recovers full HP, but falls asleep for 2 turns. Pokemon who have Early Bird will wake up one turn early.

The effects of Sunny Day will last for eight turns if its user is holding Heat Rock.
Almost always goes first. The user is protected from all attacks for one turn, but the move's success rate halves with each consecutive use of Protect, Detect or Endure. If a Pokemon has No Guard, or used Lock-On or Mind Reader against the user during the previous turn, its attack has a [100 - move's normal accuracy]% chance to hit through Protect; OHKO moves do not benefit from this effect. Blizzard has a 30% to hit through this move during Hail, as does Thunder during Rain Dance.
Cancels all other weather moves. For 5 turns: the power of Water attacks is increased by 50%, the power of Fire attacks is decreased by 50%, Thunder never misses and has a 30% chance to hit through Protect and Detect, the power of Solarbeam is halved, and the healing power of Morning Sun, Synthesis and Moonlight is decreased from 1/2 to 1/4 of the user's max HP. The effects of Rain Dance will last for eight turns if its user is holding Damp Rock.
Has a 30% chance to paralyze the target. It also has normal accuracy against mid-air Pokemon who have used Fly or Bounce. During Sunny Day, this move has 50% accuracy. During Rain Dance, this move will never miss under normal circumstances and has a 30% chance to hit through a target's Protect or Detect.
On the first turn, the user digs underground, becoming uncontrollable, and evades all attacks. Earthquake and Magnitude can hit underground and gain doubled power. The user may also be hit underground if it was previously targeted by Lock-On or Mind Reader or if it is attacked by a Pokemon with No Guard. On the second turn, the user attacks.
This move has a 30% chance to inflict a side effect depending on the battle's current terrain. The target may be put to sleep in any type of grass (or in puddles), its Attack may be lowered by 1 stage while surfing on any body of water, its Speed may be lowered by 1 stage while on marshy terrain, its Accuracy may be lowered by 1 stage on beach sand, desert sand and dirt paths, it may flinch in caves or on rocky outdoor terrain, it may become frozen on snowy terrain and it may become paralyzed everywhere else (including Wi-Fi battles).
In Pokemon Battle Revolution, the target's Attack may be lowered by 1 stage at Gateway, its Accuracy may be lowered by 1 stage at Sunset, it may be paralyzed at Courtyard, Main Street and Neon, it may be put to sleep at Sunny Park and Waterfall and it may flinch at Crystal, Magma and Stargazer.
The user is cured of status effects (and confusion), and recovers full HP, but falls asleep for 2 turns. Pokemon who have Early Bird will wake up one turn early.
Steals the target's held item unless the user is already holding an item or the target has Sticky Hold or Multitype. A stolen item cannot be recovered by using Recycle.
The user's held item is thrown at the target. Base power and additional effects vary depending on the thrown item. Note that the target will instantly benefit from the effects of thrown berries. The held item is gone for the rest of the battle unless Recycle is used; the item will return to the original holder after wireless battles but will be permanently lost if it is thrown during in-game battles.
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.
The user's berry is thrown at the target. This attack's base power and type vary depending on the thrown berry. The berry is gone for the rest of the battle unless Recycle is used; it will return to the original holder after wireless battles but will be permanently lost if it is thrown during in-game battles.
The user switches out after use, even if it is currently trapped by another Pokemon. If the replacement Pokemon knows U-Turn and is holding Choice Band, Choice Lens or Choice Scarf, it will be locked into U-Turn, though Pokemon holding those items who don't know U-Turn can select their attack as normal. When a faster Pokemon uses Pursuit against a U-Turner, the U-Turner is hit for normal damage; when a slower Pokemon uses Pursuit against a U-Turner, the U-Turner makes its attack, then is hit by Pursuit for double power, and switches out.
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.
