A '''move''' (Japanese: '''わざ''' ''move''), also known as an '''attack''' (Japanese: '''こうげきわざ''' ''attack technique'') or '''technique''' (Japanese: '''とくしゅわざ''' ''special technique''), is the skill {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} primarily use in {{pkmn|battle}}. There are currently [[List of moves|933 known moves]] that Pokémon can use. In battle, a Pokémon uses one move each turn. In Generations {{gen|I}} to {{gen|VI}} and {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, some moves (including those learned by [[HM]]) can be used [[Field move|outside of battle]] as well, usually to remove obstacles or explore new areas.

A Pokémon can only know four moves at a time. In order to learn new moves once four have been learned, it must forget one old move for every new move. Some moves cannot be forgotten naturally, such as moves learned by HM. To remove these, a Trainer must incorporate the help of a [[Move Deleter]]. Moves that the Pokémon does not currently know and was able to learn at an earlier level ([[Generation]]s {{gen|II}} to {{gen|VI}}) or at any level ([[Generation VII]] and above) can be learned with the help of a [[Move Reminder]].

In {{g|Legends: Arceus}} the first time a Pokémon learns a move, regardless of how the move was learned, the Pokémon has access to that move forever and can re-learn it if forgotten without needing to access a Move Reminder.
