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.

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.
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.)
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 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.
Steals the target's held item unless the user is already holding an item or the target has Sticky Hold or Multitype. Recycle cannot recover the stolen item.
The user causes an Uproar and attacks uncontrollably for three turns. During the effects of the Uproar, active Pokemon cannot fall asleep and sleeping Pokemon sent into battle will wake up.

The user causes an Uproar and attacks uncontrollably for three turns. During the effects of the Uproar, active Pokemon cannot fall asleep and sleeping Pokemon sent into battle will wake up.
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.
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.

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.

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).

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.
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.

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.
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.
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 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.

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).
