Zapdos: This legendary Pokémon is said to be present wherever there is a lightning storm.
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.
All Pokemon in the user's party receive 1/2 damage from Special attacks for 5 turns. Light Screen 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.
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 or Bounce.
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 Detect; 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.
The user eats the target's held berry and, if applicable, receives its benefits. Jaboca Berry will be removed without damaging the user, but Coba Berry will still activate and reduce this move's power. The target can still recover its held berry by using Recycle.
All Pokemon in the user's party receive 1/2 damage from Special attacks for 5 turns. Light Screen 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.
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.
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.
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.)
