Disable (Japanese: かなしばり Temporary Binding) is a non-damaging Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation I.

Effect

Generation I

Disable randomly selects one move that is in the target's current move set and whose current PP is greater than 0, and gives it a randomly chosen disable duration length of 1-8, which is reduced by 1 each time the Pokémon attempts to execute an attack. While the move is disabled, a message of "disabled!" will appear in place of the disabled move's PP, and the target will be unable to use the move until the round after Disable wears off (attempting to select the move will just result in a notice that the move is disabled).

If the target does manage to select the move (such as if it knows the move twice because of Mimic, or if the user is faster than the target and disables the attack that the target was going to use during that round) and attempts to execute it before the disable duration is over, it will only result in a wasted turn and a message that the move is disabled. Since the check to see if a move is disabled happens after the duration reduction, it is possible to disable the move the target was about to use for only 1 turn and as a result have Disable end immediately, still allowing the target to use said move during that round. It is also possible for the target to still use the disabled move if it is called via Metronome or Mirror Move.

If the target has only one move and that move is successfully disabled, it will use Struggle until it can select its move again. Disable will fail if the target has no PP for any of its moves.

Turns spent flinching, fast asleep, frozen solid, recharging, or partially trapped will not count towards the Disable duration length.

Even if unsuccessful (for any reason), using Disable against a Pokémon using Rage will cause its rage to build.

In Stadium, Disable will cause a Pokémon's rage to build only if successful. The disabled move's PP is not replaced with a "disabled!" message, though attempting to select the move will still result in a notice that the move is disabled.

Generation II to Generation IV

In Generation II and beyond, the last move that the target used will be disabled if successful. It will fail if the user goes first in the first turn.

Generation V

Same as before, but its accuracy is changed from 80% to 100% and can now be reflected with Magic Coat.
