Protects the user from negative stat modifiers caused by other Pokemon until it switches out. The user's Accuracy and Evasion stats are also protected. Moves that cause negative stat modifiers as a secondary effect, such as Psychic, still deal their regular damage.
Protects the user from negative stat modifiers caused by other Pokemon, but not by itself, until it switches out; can be Baton Passed by user. The user's Accuracy and Evasion stats are also protected. Moves that cause negative stat modifiers as a secondary effect, such as Psychic, still deal their regular damage.
This move ensures that the user's next attack will hit against its current target. Even if the user switches out, its replacement's next move will always hit too. Mind Reader fails against Pokemon in the middle of using Protect, Detect, Dig or Fly, as well as Pokemon behind a Substitute.
Protects every Pokemon on the user's team from negative stat modifiers caused by other Pokemon (including teammates), but not by itself, for five turns. The team's Accuracy and Evasion stats are also protected. Moves that cause negative stat modifiers as a secondary effect, such as Psychic, still deal their regular damage.
This move ensures that the user's next attack will hit against its current target. This effect can be Baton Passed to another Pokemon. Mind Reader fails against Pokemon in the middle of using Protect, Detect, DigFly, Bounce or Dive, as well as Pokemon behind a Substitute.
All Pokemon in the user's party receive 1/2 damage from Physical attacks for 5 turns. Reflect will be removed from the user's field if an opponent's Pokemon uses Brick Break. In double battles, both Pokemon are shielded, but damage protection is reduced from 1/2 to 1/3.

This move ensures that the user's next attack will hit against its current target. This effect can be Baton Passed to another Pokemon. Mind Reader fails against Pokemon in the middle of using Protect, Detect, DigFly, Bounce or Dive, as well as Pokemon behind a Substitute. If the target uses Protect or Detect during its next turn, the user's next move has a [100 - move's normal accuracy]% chance to hit through Protect or Detect. OHKO moves do not benefit from this trait.
All Pokemon in the user's party receive 1/2 damage from Physical attacks for 5 turns. Reflect will be removed from the user's field if an opponent's Pokemon uses Brick Break. It will also last for eight turns if its user is holding Light Clay. In double battles, both Pokemon are shielded, but damage protection is reduced from 1/2 to 1/3.
Speed is doubled for every Pokemon on the user's team for three turns; the turn used to perform Tailwind is included in this total, as are any turns used to switch around Pokemon.
Has a 10% chance to freeze the target. During Hail, this move will never miss under normal circumstances and has a 30% chance to hit through a target's Protect or Detect.
Cancels all other weather moves. For 5 turns: Blizzard never misses and has a 30% chance to hit through Protect and Detect, each active Pokemon, even when protected by a Substitute, loses 1/16 of its max HP unless it is an Ice-type, the power of Solarbeam is halved, and the healing power of Morning Sun, Synthesis and Moonlight is halved. The effects of Hail will last for eight turns if its user is holding Icy Rock.
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.
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.)
