Strength (Japanese: かいりき Super Strength) is a damage-dealing Normal-type move introduced in Generation I. It is HM04 in all generations.
Effect
In battle
Strength inflicts damage and has no secondary effect.
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon
Strength sends the foe flying. The foe may land on another foe, and both of them take 10 damage.
Outside of battle
Generation I-III
Players can move round boulders around the field by walking into them whilst Strength is active. Many puzzles in the games require boulders to be moved around in a certain way with Strength. If the area is left, the boulders will resume their original positions and the puzzle needs to be solved again if the player wishes to go back through the area.
Generation IV
Prior to Generation IV, Strength could be activated at any time, but in Generation IV it was changed so that Strength could only be activated when there was a boulder in the vicinity.
Generation V
Generation V changed the outside of battle method. Boulders grew significantly in size and are now required to be pushed into holes and walked across, as opposed to pushed into corners and walked around.

Trivia
- If Secret Power is used in a building in Generation III, it will display the animation of Strength.
- Strength's in-game description erroneously states that it is a punching move.
- In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Dragonite's Strength, when used, smashes a boulder, more akin to Rock Smash.
- All fully evolved starter Pokémon may learn Strength.
