A '''move''' (Japanese: '''わざ''' ''move''), also known as an '''attack''' (Japanese: '''こうげきわざ''' ''attack technique'') or '''technique''' (Japanese: '''とくしゅわざ''' ''special technique''), is the skill {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} primarily use in {{pkmn|battle}}. Currently, there are [[List of moves|915 different moves]] that Pokémon can use. In battle, a Pokémon uses one move each turn. Prior to [[Generation VII]] and in {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, some moves (including those learned by [[HM]]) can be used [[Field move|outside of battle]] as well, usually to remove obstacles or explore new areas. | A '''move''' (Japanese: '''わざ''' ''move''), also known as an '''attack''' (Japanese: '''こうげきわざ''' ''attack technique'') or '''technique''' (Japanese: '''とくしゅわざ''' ''special technique''), is the skill {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} primarily use in {{pkmn|battle}}.

==Terminology== | |||
This word is usually written as lowercase "move" in the dialogue of the [[core series]] games and several of their manuals. However, it is also sometimes written as capitalized "Move" in the manuals of Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. For instance, the Platinum manual says this about {{status|confusion}}: "If a confused Pokémon uses a Move during battle, there is a chance it could attack itself." | |||
