Field move: Difference between revisions

A '''field move''' is a [[move]] which can be used out of battle in the main [[Pokémon games]]. All [[HM|Hidden Machine]] moves have a field move effect, and some moves accessible through [[level|leveling up]], [[TM|Technical Machines]], or [[Move Tutor|other means]] may also help the {{player}} through the game.

* '''{{m|Cut}}:''' The Pokémon can cut down small trees and, until [[Generation IV]], [[tall grass]] on the field. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using [[HM01]] in all [[generation]]s. In [[Generation I]], trees cut down would be regenerated if the game was saved and the power turned off, even if the player was still in the area, allowing the player to [[List of minor glitches#Standing on a tree|stand on a tree]]; however, this isn't the case in future generations.

* '''{{m|Headbutt}}:''' The Pokémon can shake a small tree which may cause a [[wild Pokémon]] to fall down. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using [[TM02]] in Generation II. Though available as a level up move in Generation I and future generations, it only had status as a field move in Generation II and has regained such status in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} where it is available via a [[Move Tutor]] in [[Ilex Forest]]. It once again lost its field move status in Geneation V.

* '''{{m|Rock Smash}}:''' Can be taught to a Pokémon by using [[TM08]] in Generation II, [[HM06]] in Generations III and IV, and [[TM94]] in Generation V. Clears cracked rocks; in Generation III Pokémon can occasionally be found in them.

* '''{{m|Sweet Scent}}:''' The Pokémon can activate a wild Pokémon battle in tall grass, caves, and water. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using [[TM12]] in Generation II, and it can be learned by many {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.

* '''{{m|Secret Power}}:''' The Pokémon can clear an entrance into a big tree, a bush or an indent in a wall in order to create a [[Secret Base]]. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using [[TM43]] in Generations III and IV, but is no longer a field move in the latter.
