'''Assist''' (Japanese: '''ねこのて''' ''Cat's Paw'') is a non-damaging {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. Prior to [[Generation IV]], it was the [[signature move]] of {{p|Skitty}}.

===Generation III===
{{MoveResearch|Can it call moves from an ally (and allied inactive Pokémon) in a Multi Battle in Generation III?}}
Assist calls up a move randomly known by one of the fellow {{obp|Pokémon|species}} in its [[party]] (even [[Fainting|fainted]] Pokémon) and fully executes the attack. An attack 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.
Assist randomly selects an eligible move from all of the moves known by other Pokémon in the user's [[party]] allies (including [[Fainting|fainted]] Pokémon) and executes it. If no other Pokémon in the user's party know eligible moves, Assist fails. Assist can call a move even if that move is {{m|disable}}d for the user.
 
 
Assist will not call itself or any of the following moves in this generation of games:

===Generation IV===
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:
From [[Generation IV]] onward, Assist is unable to call a move from an allied Pokémon belonging to a different trainer in a [[Multi Battle]].

In [[Generation V]] only, Assist can use moves known by unhatched {{pkmn|Egg}}s in the party. In a wild [[Double Battle]], a wild Pokémon that uses Assist can use a move the other wild Pokémon knows.

==Trivia==
* The original Japanese name for this attack is ''neko no te'' (ねこのて), which literally means "cat's paw". However, this is probably a play on words; the attack calls for the assistance of a random team member's attack to help defeat the opponent. In Japanese, there is a saying for when assistance is greatly needed; ''"neko no te mo karitai"'' (猫の手も借りたい), or "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". And since the only Pokémon who can use this move by leveling up are cat-like (with an animation of scattered cat pawprints), it displays a double meaning.

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation III]], the status screen erroneously states that the move has 100% accuracy, even though it targets the user (thus it ignores accuracy and evasion checks). The move called by Assist still has to undergo accuracy and evasion checks as normal, however.
* 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 feline Pokémon are capable of learning it.
