It is not yet skilled at storing electricity. It may send out a jolt if amused or startled.
Silver
Despite its small size, it can zap even adult humans. However, if it does so, it also surprises itself.
Crystal
It is unskilled at storing electric power. Any kind of shock causes it to discharge energy spontaneously.
Ruby
PICHU charges itself with electricity more easily on days with thunderclouds or when the air is very dry. You can hear the crackling of static electricity coming off this POKéMON.
Sapphire
When PICHU plays with others, it may short out electricity with another PICHU, creating a shower of sparks. In that event, this POKéMON will begin crying, startled by the flash of sparks.
Emerald
It is still inept at retaining electricity. When it is startled, it discharges power accidentally. It gets better at holding power as it grows older.
FireRed
Despite its small size, it can zap even adult humans. However, if it does so, it also surprises itself.
LeafGreen
It is not yet skilled at storing electricity. It may send out a jolt if amused or startled.
Diamond
The electric pouches on its cheeks are still small. They cannot store much electricity yet.
Pearl
It plays with others by touching tails and setting off sparks. This appears to be a test of courage.
Platinum
The electric sacs in its cheeks are small. If even a little electricity leaks, it becomes shocked.
Stadium 2
It is not yet skilled at storing electricity. It may send out a jolt if amused or startled.
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.
Attacks 2-5 times in one turn; if one of these attacks breaks a target's Substitute, the target will take damage for the rest of the hits. This move has a 3/8 chance to hit twice, a 3/8 chance to hit three times, a 1/8 chance to hit four times and a 1/8 chance to hit five times.
The target is forced to use its last attack for the next 2-6 turns. The effects of this move will end immediately if the target runs out of PP for the repeated attack.

The target is forced to use its last attack for the next 2-6 turns. The effects of this move will end immediately if the target runs out of PP for the repeated attack. In double battles, a Pokemon who has received an Encore will target a random opponent with single-target attacks.
Usually goes first for the duration of the move. The user absorbs all damage for two turns and then, during the third turn, the user inflicts twice the absorbed damage on its target. This move ignores the target's type and even hits Ghost-type Pokemon.
Attacks 2-5 times in one turn; if one of these attacks breaks a target's Substitute, the target will take damage for the rest of the hits. This move has a 3/8 chance to hit twice, a 3/8 chance to hit three times, a 1/8 chance to hit four times and a 1/8 chance to hit five times. If the user of this move has Skill Link, this move will always strike five times.
The target is forced to use its last attack for the next 2-6 turns. The effects of this move will end immediately if the target runs out of PP for the repeated attack. In double battles, a Pokemon who has received an Encore will target a random opponent with single-target attacks.
If this is the user's first move after being sent or switched into battle, the target flinches; this move fails otherwise and against targets with Inner Focus.
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 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.
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.)
Almost always goes last; if an opponent strikes with a Physical attack before the user's turn, the user retaliates for twice the damage it had endured. In double battles, this attack targets the last opponent to hit the user with a Physical attack and cannot hit the user's teammate.
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.
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 user causes an Uproar and attacks uncontrollably for 2-5 turns. During the effects of the Uproar, active Pokemon cannot fall asleep and sleeping Pokemon sent into battle will wake up.
Almost always goes first. For the rest of the turn, all attacks from the opponent's team that target the user's team are redirected toward the user. In double battles, the user's teammate will not be protected from attacks that have more than one intended target.
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: 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.)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The user's berry is thrown at the target. This attack's base power and type vary depending on the thrown berry.
