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.
On the first turn, the user flies into the air, becoming uncontrollable, and evades most attacks. Swift may still hit a Pokemon in the air. On the second turn, the user attacks.
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 user attacks uncontrollably for five turns; this move's power doubles after each turn and also if Defense Curl was used beforehand. Its power resets after five turns have ended or if the attack misses.
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.

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.)
Cancels all other weather moves. For 5 turns: each active Pokemon, even when protected by a Substitute, loses 1/16 of its max HP unless it is a Ground-, Rock-, or Steel-type, and the healing power of Morning Sun, Synthesis and Moonlight is halved.
The base power of this move doubles with each consecutive hit; however, power is capped at a maximum 160 BP and remains there for any subsequent uses. If this move misses, or if the user selects another move, base power will be reset to 10 BP on the next turn.
On the first turn, the user flies into the air, becoming uncontrollable, and evades most attacks. Gust, Twister and Thunder have normal accuracy against a mid-air Pokemon, with Gust and Twister also gaining doubled power. The user may also be hit in mid-air if it was previously targeted by Lock-On or Mind Reader. On the second turn, the user attacks.
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.
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.

Prevents the target from using the same move for two turns in a row until the target is switched out. The target will use Struggle every other turn if it cannot attack without using the same move.
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.
Almost always goes first. Until the end of the turn, the user will steal a supporting move from another Pokemon (including teammates). In Double Battles, Snatch only steals the first applicable move performed by another Pokemon before wearing off.
On the first turn, the user flies into the air, becoming uncontrollable, and evades most attacks. Gust, Twister, Thunder, and Sky Uppercut have normal accuracy against a mid-air Pokemon, with Gust and Twister also gaining doubled power.

Prevents the target from using the same move for two turns in a row until the target is switched out. The target will use Struggle every other turn if it cannot attack without using the same move.
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).

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.
Almost always goes first. Until the end of the turn, the user will steal a supporting move from another Pokemon (including teammates). In Double Battles, Snatch only steals the first applicable move performed by another Pokemon before wearing off.
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.
Prevents the target from using its held item for five turns. During in-game battles, trainers also cannot use any items from their bag on a Pokemon under the effects of Embargo.
Power is determined from the speeds of the user and the target; stat modifiers are taken into account. Max power, 150 BP, is achieved when the user is much slower than the target.
Damages opponents every time they switch in until they use Rapid Spin. Saps a fraction of max HP determined by the effectiveness of Rock-type attacks against the opponent's type: 1/32 for 1/4x, 1/16 for 1/2x, 1/8 for 1x, 1/4 for 2x and 1/2 for 4x. For example, Stealth Rock saps 50% of an Ice/Flying Pokemon's max HP when it switches in.
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 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.
The user switches out after use, even if it is currently trapped by another Pokemon. If the replacement Pokemon knows this move and is holding Choice Band, Choice Specs or Choice Scarf, it will be locked into the move, though Pokemon holding those items who don't know the move can select their attack as normal. When a faster Pokemon uses Pursuit against a Pokemon who uses this move, the latter is hit for normal damage; when a slower Pokemon uses Pursuit against a move who uses this move, the latter 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.
Always goes last. Attacking order is reversed for all active Pokemon for five turns; the slowest Pokemon moves first and vice versa. Note that move order is still determined by the regular priority categories and the effects of Trick Room apply only when Pokemon have chosen moves with the same priority. Using Trick Room a second time reverses this effect. This effect is also ignored by Stall and held items that may affect the turn order: Full Incense, Lagging Tail, Quick Claw and Custap Berry.
On the first turn, the user flies into the air, becoming uncontrollable, and evades most attacks. Gust, Twister, Thunder and Sky Uppercut have normal accuracy against a mid-air Pokemon, with Gust and Twister also gaining doubled power.

For example, Stealth Rock saps 50% of an Ice/Flying Pokemon's max HP when it switches in.
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.

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.
For three turns, the target becomes immune to Ground-type moves, entry hazards Spikes and Toxic Spikes, and the Arena Trap ability, but all other moves except for one-hit KO moves have perfect accuracy against the target. The moves Gravity or Ingrain and the hold item Iron Ball negate this effect and prevent this move from succeeding.
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.
Until the target switches out, it loses its immunity to Ground-type moves if it is a Flying-type or has Levitate, unless it has used Roost on the same turn. The effects of Magnet Rise and Telekinesis are also removed, and this move can hit opponents in the middle of using Sky Drop, Fly or Bounce, immediately canceling the latter two.
Has a 30% chance to paralyze the target. It also has normal accuracy against mid-air Pokemon who have used Fly, Bounce or Sky Drop. During Sunny Day, this move has 50% accuracy. During Rain Dance, this move will never miss under normal circumstances.
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.
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.
Cancels all other weather moves. For 5 turns: the Special Defense of Rock-type Pokemon is boosted by 50%; each active Pokemon, even when protected by a Substitute, loses 1/16 of its max HP unless it has Sand Force, Sand Rush or Sand Veil, or is a Ground-, Rock-, or Steel-type; the power of Solarbeam is halved, and the healing power of Morning Sun, Synthesis and Moonlight is halved. The effects of Sandstorm will last for eight turns if its user is holding Smooth Rock.
Prevents the target from using the same move for two turns in a row until the target is switched out. The target will use Struggle every other turn if it cannot attack without using the same move.
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.
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.
When used by a Pokemon who isn't in the center position during a Triple Battle, this move switches the user with the ally on the other side of the center Pokemon.
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.
On the first turn, the user flies into the air with the target, preventing the target's next move. On the second turn, the user inflicts damage. When used by teammates on the ground, the moves Gust, Thunder, Twister, Hurricane, Sky Uppercut and Smack Down can hit the user of Sky Drop during the interim.
Prevents the target from using its held item for five turns. During in-game battles, trainers also cannot use any items from their bag on a Pokemon under the effects of Embargo.
The user switches out after use, even if it is currently trapped by another Pokemon. If the replacement Pokemon knows this move and is holding Choice Band, Choice Specs or Choice Scarf, it will be locked into the move, though Pokemon holding those items who don't know the move can select their attack as normal. When a faster Pokemon uses Pursuit against a Pokemon who uses this move, the latter is hit for normal damage; when a slower Pokemon uses Pursuit against a move who uses this move, the latter makes its attack, then is hit by Pursuit for double power, and switches out. If this move is used against a Ground-type Pokemon, the switching effect does not occur.
Power is determined from the speeds of the user and the target; stat modifiers are taken into account. Max power, 150 BP, is achieved when the user is much slower than the target.
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.

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.
Always goes last. Attacking order is reversed for all active Pokemon for five turns; the slowest Pokemon moves first and vice versa. Note that move order is still determined by the regular priority categories and the effects of Trick Room apply only when Pokemon have chosen moves with the same priority. Using Trick Room a second time reverses this effect. This effect is also ignored by Stall and held items that may affect the turn order: Full Incense, Lagging Tail, Quick Claw and Custap Berry.
On the first turn, the user flies into the air, becoming uncontrollable, and evades most attacks. Gust, Twister, Thunder and Sky Uppercut have normal accuracy against a mid-air Pokemon, with Gust and Twister also gaining doubled power. The user may also be hit in mid-air 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.
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.
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: 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.

The effects of Sunny Day will last for eight turns if its user is holding Heat Rock.
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.
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.

Always goes last. Attacking order is reversed for all active Pokemon for five turns; the slowest Pokemon moves first and vice versa. Note that move order is still determined by the regular priority categories and the effects of Trick Room apply only when Pokemon have chosen moves with the same priority. Using Trick Room a second time reverses this effect. This effect is also ignored by Stall and held items that may affect the turn order: Full Incense, Lagging Tail, Quick Claw and Custap Berry.
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).
The user generates another move depending on the battle's current terrain. It generates Seed Bomb in any type of grass (as well as in puddles), Hydro Pump while surfing on top of water, Rock Slide on any rocky outdoor terrain and inside of caves, Earthquake on beach sand, desert sand and dirt paths, Blizzard in snow, and Tri Attack everywhere else (including Wi-Fi battles). In Battle Revolution, the move generates Tri Attack at Courtyard, Main Street and Neon, Seed Bomb at Sunny Park and Waterfall, Hydro Pump at Gateway, Rock Slide at Crystal, Magma and Stargazer and Earthquake at Sunset.
On the first turn, the user flies into the air, becoming uncontrollable, and evades most attacks. Gust, Twister, Thunder and Sky Uppercut have normal accuracy against a mid-air Pokemon, with Gust and Twister also gaining doubled power. The user may also be hit in mid-air 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.
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.
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: 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Until the target switches out, it loses its immunity to Ground-type moves if it is a Flying-type or has Levitate, unless it has used Roost on the same turn. The effects of Magnet Rise and Telekinesis are also removed, and this move can hit opponents in the middle of using Sky Drop, Fly or Bounce, immediately canceling the latter two.
Has a 30% chance to paralyze the target. It also has normal accuracy against mid-air Pokemon who have used Fly, Bounce or Sky Drop. During Sunny Day, this move has 50% accuracy. During Rain Dance, this move will never miss under normal circumstances.
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.
Cancels all other weather moves. For 5 turns: the Special Defense of Rock-type Pokemon is boosted by 50%; each active Pokemon, even when protected by a Substitute, loses 1/16 of its max HP unless it has Sand Force, Sand Rush or Sand Veil, or is a Ground-, Rock-, or Steel-type; the power of Solarbeam is halved, and the healing power of Morning Sun, Synthesis and Moonlight is halved. The effects of Sandstorm will last for eight turns if its user is holding Smooth Rock.
Prevents the target from using the same move for two turns in a row until the target is switched out. The target will use Struggle every other turn if it cannot attack without using the same move.
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.
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.
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.
On the first turn, the user flies into the air with the target, preventing the target's next move. On the second turn, the user inflicts damage. When used by teammates on the ground, the moves Gust, Thunder, Twister, Hurricane, Sky Uppercut and Smack Down can hit the user of Sky Drop during the interim.
Prevents the target from using its held item for five turns. During in-game battles, trainers also cannot use any items from their bag on a Pokemon under the effects of Embargo.
The user switches out after use, even if it is currently trapped by another Pokemon. If the replacement Pokemon knows this move and is holding Choice Band, Choice Specs or Choice Scarf, it will be locked into the move, though Pokemon holding those items who don't know the move can select their attack as normal. When a faster Pokemon uses Pursuit against a Pokemon who uses this move, the latter is hit for normal damage; when a slower Pokemon uses Pursuit against a move who uses this move, the latter makes its attack, then is hit by Pursuit for double power, and switches out. If this move is used against a Ground-type Pokemon, the switching effect does not occur.
Power is determined from the speeds of the user and the target; stat modifiers are taken into account. Max power, 150 BP, is achieved when the user is much slower than the target.
