TM42	Facade	Power doubles if the user is inflicted with burn, paralysis or poison.		Normal	70	100%
TM44	Rest	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.		Psychic	N/A	N/A
TM45	Attract	Infatuates Pokemon of the opposite gender, even if they have a Substitute, causing a 50% chance for the target's attack to fail.		Normal	N/A	100%
TM46	Thief	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.		Dark	40	100%
TM48	Round	Base power doubles after an ally Pokemon on the field uses this move on the same turn. If they have this move, allies who move after the initial Round are forced to use it on that turn.		Normal	60	100%
TM55	Scald	Has a 30% chance to burn the target.		Water	80	100%
TM56	Fling	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.		Dark	Var BP	100%
TM78	Bulldoze	Lowers the target's Speed by 1 stage.		Ground	60	100%
TM87	Swagger	Confuses the target and raises its Attack by 2 stages.		Normal	N/A	90%
TM90	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.		Normal	N/A	N/A
TM94	Rock Smash	Has a 50% chance to lower the target's Defense by 1 stage.		Fighting	40	100%
HM03	Surf	Power doubles against a target who is in the middle of using Dive.		Water	95	100%
HM04	Strength	Damages the target.		Normal	80	100%
HM05	Waterfall	Has a 20% chance to make the target flinch.		Water	80	100%
HM06	Dive	On the first turn, the user dives underwater, becoming uncontrollable, and evades all attacks except for Surf and Whirlpool, which have doubled power; the user may also be hit underwater 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.		Water	80	100%
