Assist (move): Difference between revisions

|gameimage=Assist VI.png

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. If there are no moves that can be called in the party, the move will fail.

In a wild [[Double Battle]], a wild Pokémon that uses Assist can use a move the other wild Pokémon knows.

Assist will not call itself or any of the following moves in this generation of games:

* 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''"), which means "''I need all the help I can get"''. This is reflected by the way the move works, and that many catlike Pokémon are capable of learning it.
