==Effect==
==Effect==
===Generations I to III===
Kinesis decreases the target's {{stat|accuracy}} stat by one stage.
Kinesis decreases the target's {{stat|accuracy}} stat by one stage.
Kinesis can be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with the user gaining extra three appeal points if either the move {{m|Confusion}} or {{m|Psychic}} was used in the prior turn. It can also be used to start a combination, causing certain moves ({{m|Confusion}}, {{m|Future Sight}}, {{m|Psychic}} and {{m|Teleport}}) to have their base appeal points doubled.
===Generation IV onwards===
Kinesis can now be reflected with {{m|Magic Coat}}.
If powered up by a {{DL|Z-Crystal|Psychium Z}} into Z-Kinesis, the user's {{stat|evasion}} raises one stage.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* This move is a reference to the psychokinetic spoon bending tricks popularized by stage psychic {{wp|Uri Geller}}.
* This move is a reference to the psychokinetic spoon bending tricks popularized by stage psychic {{wp|Uri Geller}}.
* In {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, it was impossible to learn Kinesis, as neither Kadabra nor Alakazam learn it by leveling up. It only appeared as a random {{m|Metronome}} move. {{game|Yellow}} featured wild Kadabra that could be caught and later games featured [[Move Reminder]]s that allowed Kadabra and Alakazam to learn the move.
* Along with {{m|Barrage}} and {{m|Struggle}}, Kinesis is one of three moves introduced in Generation I that has not been featured in the main {{pkmn|anime}} series. In the case of Kinesis, this may be due to [[Pokémon controversy#Uri Geller|legal issues between Nintendo and Geller]].
* Along with {{m|Barrage}}, {{m|Leech Life}}, and {{m|Struggle}}, Kinesis is one of four moves originating from Generation I that has not been featured in the main series {{pkmn|anime}} (Barrage was featured in [[Pokémon Origins]]).
* In {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, no Pokémon could learn Kinesis; it only appeared as a random result of {{m|Metronome}}. From {{game|Yellow}} onward, Kadabra has it as a starting move, such that wild Kadabra know Kinesis in Pokémon Yellow and the Generation II games. Kadabra and Alakazam can also be taught Kinesis using the [[Move Reminder]] in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].
