Assist randomly selects one of the moves known by the user's [[party]] allies (including [[Fainting|fainted]] Pokémon) and executes it. A move called up by Assist counts as the last move used. A Pokémon will be able to use a move that is disabled in its own moveset if called via Assist.

==Trivia==
* The Japanese name for this move, ねこのて ''Neko no Te'' (Cat's Paw), is likely a reference to the saying 猫の手も借りたい ''neko no te mo karitai'', which translates to "''I would even like to borrow a cat's hands''", "''I would even like a cat to assist me''", or "''I need all the help I can get"'', befitting the way the move works, and the many catlike Pokémon capable of learning it.
