Move Changes Reference Guide

Important Notes

Note 1 — Trapping Moves: Moves like Wrap and others that drain HP passively each turn have been improved. They now drain 1/12 of the affected Pokémon's total HP per turn, up from 1/16.

Note 2 — Normal Type & STAB: Normal Pokémon have been reclassified as Beast type. Moves that remain Normal-type can no longer benefit from STAB, making them effectively neutral — valued mainly for their secondary effects.

Note 3 — Version 1.2 Changes: Several moves were removed, reworked, or had new effects added. One new effect is similar to Dragon Tail from later generations: it deals damage and forces a switch, but has low priority. See the end of this document for specifics. (The 255-move limit restricts what can be done further.)
