Taunt (move): Difference between revisions

'''Taunt''' (Japanese: '''ちょうはつ''' ''Taunt'') is a non-damaging {{type|Dark}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. It has been [[TM12]] since Generation III.

===Generation III===

Taunt makes the afflicted Pokémon unable to use [[status move]]s. The effect lasts two turns or until the subject is switched out. Unlike most status moves, Taunt will affect a target with a {{m|substitute}}. On the turn that Taunt is used, if the Pokémon using Taunt goes before the target and the target selected a status move that turn, the target's move will fail. If a Pokémon that only knows status moves is taunted, or is taunted after using a status move and holding a [[In-battle effect item#Choice items|Choice item]], then it will be forced to use {{m|Struggle}}.

===Generation IV===

Taunt can now be copied by {{m|Mirror Move}}.

===Generation V===

Taunt can now be reflected with {{m|Magic Coat}} and no longer affects {{m|Me First}}.
