Moves

Move index

There are 833 moves and nobody remembers them all — this list exists so you do not have to. Every move has a type, a category (physical, special or status), Power, Accuracy and a limited number of uses (PP). Search by name or by what the move does: “sleep”, “lowers Defense”, “heals”.

Pokémon get some of them from a machine rather than by leveling up. TM numbers differ between games, so each game has its own table — machine list. Want to compare two moves side by side? Compare Moves.
