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.
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 U-Turn. Base power also doubles when performed against a Pokemon in the middle of using Dive.
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.)
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.
On the first turn, the user bounces 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 descends and has a 30% chance to paralyze the target.
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.
Almost always goes first, but fails if the target doesn't select a move that will damage the user. The move also fails if the target uses an attack with higher priority or if the target is faster and uses an attack with the same priority.
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 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: the power of Water attacks is increased by 50%, the power of Fire attacks is decreased by 50%, Thunder becomes 100% accurate, the power of Solarbeam is halved, and the healing power of Morning Sun, Synthesis and Moonlight is halved.
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.
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.
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.)
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.
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.

For 5 turns: the power of Water attacks is increased by 50%, the power of Fire attacks is decreased by 50%, Thunder becomes 100% accurate, 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.
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.
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.
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. On the second turn, the user attacks.

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.
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.
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.

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).
In Pokemon Battle Revolution, the target's Attack may be lowered by 1 stage at Gateway, its Accuracy may be lowered by 1 stage at Sunset, it may be paralyzed at Courtyard, Main Street and Neon, it may be put to sleep at Sunny Park and Waterfall and it may flinch at Crystal, Magma and Stargazer.
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. 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'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 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.
