The user becomes uncontrollable and attacks for 2-5 consecutive turns; the target cannot make attacks of its own during this time, but it may switch out, use items or run away.
Traps the target for 2-5 turns, causing damage equal to 1/16 of its max HP each turn; this trapped effect can be broken by Rapid Spin. The target can still switch out if it uses Baton Pass.
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.

Traps the target for 2-5 turns, causing damage equal to 1/16 of its max HP each turn; this trapped effect can be broken by Rapid Spin. The target can still switch out if it is holding Shed Shell or uses Baton Pass or it uses U-Turn.
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 prepares on turn one, becoming uncontrollable, and then attacks on turn two. During Sunny Day, this move fires immediately; during Rain Dance, Sandstorm and Hail, this move has half power.
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. The effects of Sunny Day will last for eight turns if its user is holding Heat Rock.
Restores a fraction of the user's max HP depending on the weather: 2/3 during Sunny Day, 1/2 during regular weather and 1/4 during Rain Dance, Hail and Sandstorm.
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.)
Restores a fraction of the user's max HP depending on the weather: 2/3 during Sunny Day, 1/2 during regular weather and 1/4 during Rain Dance, Hail and Sandstorm.
