A '''move''' (Japanese: '''わざ''' ''move''), also known as an '''attack''' (Japanese: '''こうげきわざ''') or '''technique''' (Japanese: '''とくしゅわざ'''), is the skill Pokémon primarily use in battle. In battle, a Pokémon uses one move each turn. Some moves (including those learned by [[HM|Hidden Machine]]) can be used [[field move (core series)|outside of battle]] as well, usually for the purpose of removing obstacles or exploring new areas.

Moves in the anime often appear different to how they are depicted in the games. [[Ash's Pikachu]] often uses {{m|Agility}} as a physical attacking move, rather than a move that merely raises {{stat|Speed}}. The almost limitless nature of the anime lends itself to many more [[differences between the games and anime]] in relation to Pokémon's moves. Pokémon are able to use many more moves [[field move (core series)|outside of battle]], such as {{AP|Bulbasaur}}'s {{m|Vine Whip}}. In battle, moves may be used in unorthodox manners, especially to overcome type disadvantage—perhaps best depicted with the battle between Ash's Pikachu and Blaine's Rhydon. Invented, {{DL|Moves not in the Pokémon games|In the anime|anime-exclusive moves}} have existed since the third episode, and custom-made moves have been prevalent in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}.

The process in which moves are learned is changed slightly; TMs and HMs do not seem to exist. Also, even though it's been stated in the anime that moves can be learned at certain levels, Pokémon seem to learn them more at random, and often out of sequence from the games. The term Move Tutor has never been used in the anime but there are several people in the anime that have taught Pokémon certain moves that they would not normally be able to learn. These people, such as [[Chaz]] and [[Clayton]], are much like Move Tutors in the games except for the fact that they do not ask for anything in return. Even {{Ash}} has taught {{AP|his|Sceptile}} {{p|Treecko}} {{m|Bullet Seed}}. Consequently, all moves learned by anime Pokémon appear to have been learned by level-up or by Move Tutor, including special Egg moves such as {{m|Volt Tackle}}.
