Each move is assigned a base Power Point value that is either 1 or a positive multiple of 5, up to 40. In general, weaker moves learned at lower levels will have higher PP, while more powerful moves that are learned by TM only or at high levels will have lower PP. | ||
When a move is learned, its PP will automatically be set to the base PP value, allowing it to be used immediately. However, with TMs in {{game|Black and White|s}} being reusable, this not the case. The PP value will be the same as it was before, regardless of the maximum PP value of the new move, unless the new move has less base PP than the remaining PP of the replaced move. | When a move is learned, its PP will automatically be set to the base PP value, allowing it to be used immediately.

When PP of a move has been depleted, the Pokémon will no longer be able to use that move until PP is restored.

All moves that target a Pokémon with {{a|Pressure}} use two PP per use instead of one, causing them to deplete their PP faster. A move that has only 1 PP remaining will execute as normal in these situations. Moves that do not target the Pokémon with Pressure, such as [[status move]]s which target the user, deplete as normal. | |||
A move that can be used outside of battle, such as {{m|Dig}} or one of the many [[HM]] moves, will be able to be used regardless of its PP on the field, and will not subtract PP for its overworld uses. | A move that can be used outside of battle, such as {{m|Dig}} or one of the many [[HM]] moves, will be able to be used regardless of its PP on the field, and will not subtract PP for its overworld uses. | ||
