If a trapped Pokemon uses or switches through means of moves like Rapid Spin, Baton Pass, U-turn, Volt Switch, or if it is holding Shed Shell, it will be freed.

In the event that no type was sent, Conversion automatically changes the user’s type to the first level-up move listed in the trainer’s stats (if the trainer does not display level-up moves in his/her stats, use the Ultra Dex instead).

Paralysis, confusion, recharging, and building up for a multi-turn move have no effect to the last move used. If Copycat is used against a target that was fully paralyzed or hurt itself right before its use, Copycat will still use the last move that the target used. If Copycat is used during the first turn of a multi-turn move, Copycat will use the move that the opponent used before that move (or fail if no move was previously made).
A Pokémon will be able to use a move that is Disabled if it is called via Copycat.
If used in a battle after switching out, the move that is copied is the last one used within that battle. Copycat will not receive increased priority if a Pokémon with the ability Prankster uses a move with decreased priority.
Copycat fails if the last move used was any of the following: Assist, Chatter, Copycat, Counter, Covet, Destiny Bond, Detect, Endure, Feint, Focus Punch, Follow Me, Helping Hand, Me First, Metronome, Mimic, Mirror Coat, Mirror Move, Protect, Sketch, Sleep Talk, Snatch, Struggle, Switcheroo, Thief, or Trick.

At the end of the third turn, deals damage. The damage dealt is calculated based on the Special Defense of the hit Pokemon and no longer from the one that was originally targeted. The damage is based on the Special Attack of the user and Special Defense of the target at the time of striking, not at the time it was used on the original target. If the user is KO’d or you switch the user of Doom Desire out when the attack hits, then the user’s Special Attack is calculated without boosts from items or abilities. Types affect damage and this move can get STAB. Gems activate on the turn Doom Desire does damage. Life Orb now boosts Doom Desire’s damage, and the user will suffer recoil damage. Does not hit Wonder Guard Pokémon. Can KO a Pokémon that used Endure. Focus Sash and Sturdy do block Future Sight. Cannot Critical Hit. Doom Desire cannot be stacked.

Fails if the target is already under this effect, if it has not moved yet, or if the move has 0 PP. Pokemon protected by Magic Coat or the ability Magic Bounce are unaffected and instead use this move themselves. Encore fails against the following moves: Encore, Mimic, Mirror Move, Sketch, Sleep Talk, Struggle, and Transform.
If Disable is used on the target after Encore, then the target is forced to Struggle until the effects of either move wear off. If Disable is used on the target before Encore, the Disabled move would fail. Starting on the second turn onwards, the user will be forced to Struggle. Similarly, if Torment is used after Encore, the target is forced to Struggle on every other turn. Encore can lock the target into Snatch. If a Taunted Pokemon is encored into a status move, it will Struggle.

Deals damage and traps the target for 4-5 turns, dealing 1/8 of the target’s maximum HP at the end of each of those turns and preventing the target from switching.

For example, if the target is trapped for 5 turns, the target will be dealt damage for 5 turns, and will be freed at the end of the 6th turn.

If a trapped Pokemon uses or switches through means of moves like Rapid Spin, Baton Pass, U-turn, Volt Switch, or if it is holding Shed Shell, it will be freed. If the user switches out or faints, the target is freed and the damage ends. Ghost Types are immune to the trapping effect, but still receive damage. If the user is holding a Binding Band, the damage dealt at the end of each turn increases to 1/6 of the target’s maximum HP. This effect is not stackable or reset by using this or another partial-trapping move.

Substitute | Normal | n/a | n/a | 10 | Status | S | Sn |
User loses 1/4 max HP and creates a Substitute, which will take damage for the user and block most non-damaging moves, such as Spore and Thunder Wave. It also prevents the secondary effects of damaging moves from taking an effect, including preventing the user from being forced out with Circle Throw or Dragon Tail. All Sound-based moves can bypass a Substitute. The user still takes normal damage from weather and status effects while behind its Substitute. This move fails if the user does not have enough HP remaining to create a Substitute, or if it already has one. If the Substitute takes damage equal to or greater than 25% of the user’s HP, it will disappear (the user’s defensive stats are used in damage calculation). Does not prevent damage from pre-existing status conditions. If the user switches out, the Substitute is lost.
- Interaction with Moves

  - OHKO moves will always break a Substitute.

  - Counter, Mirror Coat, and Metal Burst does not count damage taken by the user’s Substitute.
  - Defog will not change the user’s evasiveness when Substitute is up, but the secondary effect of removing fog/Reflect/Light Screen/hazards/etc will still take place.
  - The damage from Pursuit will be absorbed by Substitute if the user attempts to switch.
  - Acupressure can be used successfully by the user even behind a Substitute. It will fail however if the user uses Acupressure on an ally behind a Subsittute.
  - While the user is asleep, has a Substitute, and is hit by Wake-Up Slap, the power of the attack will not increase, nor will the secondary effect take place.
  - The damage from Future Sight and Doom Desire is taken by the Substitute instead of the user.
  - Sky Drop will fail if the target is behind a Substitute.
  - Reflect does not reduce Brick Break’s damage if the target has a Substitute up.
- Interaction with Abilities
  - Intimidate will not work if the opponent is behind a Substitute.
  - Infiltrator allows moves used by the bearer to bypass the Substitute.
  - Contact abilities; specifically Cursed Body, Cute Charm, Effect Spore, Flame Body, Iron Barbs, Poison Point, and Static, will not activate if the bearer of those ability is behind a Substitute.
  - Imposter/Transform is blocked by Substitute.
  - If a Pokemon with Substitute attacks a Pokemon with the abilities Iron Barbs, Rough Skin, or Rocky Helmet, the effect damage bypasses the Substitute and goes straight to the attacker.
  - If a Substitute takes damage for a Pokemon with Disguise, the Disguise is not used up.
  - If a Pokemon with the ability Illusion uses Substitute and the Substitute is broken, the Illusion does not fade.
  - Anger Point will not activate if the Pokemon’s Substitute is hit.
  - If a Pokemon with the ability Mummy has a Substitute, its ability does not activate when it hits the Substitute.
  - Does not prevent a Pokemon with Pickpocket from stealing an item from the Pokemon with Substitute; however, if the Pickpocket user itself has a Substitute, it cannot steal any items.
- Interaction with Items
  - The user is damaged by Life Orb if it hits a Substitute.
  - Does not prevent the user̵#8217;s Air Balloon from popping if the Substitute is hit.
  - A Pokemon behind a Substitute cannot have its item eaten by Bug Bite or Pluck, destroyed by Incinerate, or given an item by Bestow.
  - Switcheroo and Trick fails if the target is behind a Substitute

Torment | Dark | n/a | 100% | 15 | Status | 1 | Sub |
Target can’t use the same move twice in a row, effect disappears when affected Pokemon switches. If the Pokémon did not execute a move in the preceding round, Torment does not prevent the selection of any move.
NOTE: Torment doesn’t prevent execution of a move. Example:-
First Round: Mr. Mime uses Torment. Slowbro uses Calm Mind.
Second Round: Mr. Mime uses Encore. Slowbro uses Surf (since Calm Mind cannot be selected).
-However, the Slowbro will be forced to execute Calm Mind rather than its chosen move, due to Encore. Since Torment doesn’t prevent the execution of a move, Calm Mind works and Slowbro’s stats are raised again. After this, Slowbro cannot legally select any move for the third round and must switch out or use Struggle. Slowbro is forced to alternate between Calm Mind and Struggle every other round until the Encore wears off.
