Encore (Japanese: アンコール Encore) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation II. It is TR30 in Generation VIII.

Effect

Generation II

Encore prevents the target from using any move except the last move that it used for 2 to 6 turns.

If the Pokémon affected by Encore runs out of PP for the affected move, the effects of Encore end immediately. If the move the Pokémon is locked into by Encore is disabled, the Pokémon will be forced to use Struggle until the effects of Disable or Encore have worn off.

Encore can hit through a substitute.

Encore will fail if the last move the target used was Transform, Mimic, Sketch, Mirror Move, Encore itself, Struggle, or a move that has no PP. It will also fail if the foe has not used a move yet.

If a Pokémon is affected by Encore before it can use its move that turn, it will be forced to use the move that Encore has locked it into.

Generation III

Like Disable, Torment can now be used to force the opponent to use Struggle every second turn.

A Pokémon affected by Encore cannot select the targets of its moves. If the Pokémon chooses to use the move, if that move can target a foe, a random foe will be targeted.

If a Pokémon is affected by Encore before it uses its move that turn, and it is now locked into a move other than the one it selected, it will be forced to use the move that Encore has locked it into; even if the move it is forced to use has a different priority than the move it had selected, the Pokémon will still move with the priority of the move it had selected. If the move the Pokémon is forced to use is the same as it had selected, the move will execute on its designated target that turn; otherwise, if the move it is locked into is a move that can target a single opponent, it will target a random opponent. If a Pokémon is forced to use Focus Punch on a turn it chose another move, the charging message does not appear, but it will still lose its focus if it took damage from an attack that turn.

Generation IV

Encore now lasts for 3 to 7 turns.

If a Pokémon is forced to use Acupressure on a turn it chose another move, it will randomly target either itself or an ally when executed.

Generations V and VI

Encore now lasts exactly 3 turns. It can now be reflected by Magic Coat, but will then fail.

A Pokémon affected by Encore can now select the target of its moves.

If a Pokémon is forced to use Focus Punch on a turn it chose another move, the charging message does not appear and it can be executed regardless of whether the Pokémon took damage that turn. If a Pokémon is forced to use Acupressure on a turn it chose another move, it will always target the user, not an ally.

Encore cannot affect a Pokémon under the effect of Aroma Veil.

Encore can be used as a part of a Contest Spectacular combination, causing certain moves (Counter, Destiny Bond, Grudge, King's Shield, Metal Burst, Mirror Coat and Spite) to give an extra three appeal points if any of them is used in the next turn.

Generation VII

Encore now fails if the target's last move was a move that calls other moves (such as Metronome). It will also fail if the last target's last move was a Z-Move. A Pokémon affected by Encore can use a Z-Move even if it is locked into another move (including the turn it is affected by Encore).

If a Pokémon is forced to use Beak Blast on a turn it chose another move, Beak Blast will fail.

Encore will fail if used against a Pokémon that has used Shell Trap.

If a Pokémon uses a move at an increased priority due to selecting an increased priority move before being affected by Encore, Pokémon affected by Psychic Terrain, Queenly Majesty, and Dazzling will block the move.

If powered up by a Normalium Z into Z-Encore, the user's Speed stat is raised by one stage.
