SolarBeam (Japanese: ソーラービーム SolarBeam) is a damage-dealing Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation I.

Effect

Generation I

SolarBeam does nothing on the turn it is selected, other than state that the user has taken in sunlight. On the following turn, SolarBeam will inflict damage, PP will be deducted from it, and it will count as the last move used. Once SolarBeam is selected, the user will not be able to switch out until it is disrupted or fully executed.

If SolarBeam is not fully executed, PP will not be deducted from it, and it will not count as the last move used. If the target uses Mirror Move during the turn that the user takes in sunlight, Mirror Move will copy the move that the user executed immediately before using SolarBeam (or fail if it can't).

Sleep, freezing, partial trapping, and flinching will pause but not disrupt the duration of SolarBeam.

In Pokémon Stadium, Mirror Move will copy SolarBeam on either of the turns it takes to execute.

Generation II

SolarBeam will not need a turn to charge if used during the effects of the move Sunny Day, and will only deal half of its normal damage if used during the effect of the move Rain Dance or Sandstorm.

If the user is prevented from attacking with SolarBeam during the Sunny Day combo by conditions such as flinching, paralysis, and attraction, then PP will still be deducted regardless, due to the fact that SolarBeam was designed as a two-turn attack.

Generation III and on

SolarBeam functions the same as in Generation II, but will only do half its normal damage if used during the effect of the move Hail.

In Generation IV, the held item Power Herb can allow its holder to charge and fire a SolarBeam in one turn. The Power Herb is then consumed in the process.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Ivysaur uses SolarBeam as part of Pokémon Trainer's Final Smash, Triple Finish.
