A '''sound-based move''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|音技|おとわざ}}''' ''sound move'' or '''{{ruby|音|おと}}の{{ruby|技|わざ}}''' ''sound move'') is any [[move]] that uses sound. Sound-based moves have a variety of unique properties and effects. The mechanic was introduced in [[Generation III]].

==In the games==
In the [[core series]] games, sound-based moves have the following effects:
* {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with the {{a|Soundproof}} [[Ability]] are unaffected by other Pokémon's sound-based moves, except {{m|Heal Bell}} in [[Generation V]].
* Pokémon affected by {{m|Throat Chop}} cannot use sound-based moves for two turns.
* Sound-based moves used by a Pokémon with {{a|Liquid Voice}} become {{type|Water}} moves.
* Sound-based moves used by a Pokémon with {{a|Punk Rock}} are boosted by 30%. Pokémon with Punk Rock also take half damage from sound-based moves.
* If a Pokémon holding a [[Throat Spray]] uses a sound-based move, the Throat Spray is consumed and boosts the holder's {{stat|Special Attack}} by one stage.

While not an inherent property of sound-based moves, from [[Generation VI]] onward, all sound-based moves (except {{m|Howl}}) can hit Pokémon behind a {{OBP|substitute|doll}}.
