Power points have existed in every generation, being the secondary reason for healing Pokémon at a Pokémon Center. Each move is assigned a base power point value that is either 1 or an integer 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. | Power points have existed in every generation, being the secondary reason for healing Pokémon at a Pokémon Center.

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. | 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. When all of a Pokémon's moves' PP has been depleted, ordering it to attack will result in the Pokémon using {{m|Struggle}}, causing great harm to itself and minimal damage to its opponent. | When PP of a move has been depleted, the Pokémon will no longer be able to use that move until PP is restored.
