Trick Room (Japanese: トリックルーム Trick Room) is a non-damaging Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation IV.

Effect

Trick Room causes Pokémon with a lower Speed stat to attack first, whilst those with higher Speed stat will attack last. Trick Room only reverses the move order within each priority bracket; therefore, first strike moves will still go before any other moves. This effect lasts for 5 turns.

Pokémon with Full Incense, Lagging Tail, and Stall ignore the effects of Trick Room, and go last in their priority bracket regardless of their Speed stat. Pokémon activating Quick Claw also ignore Trick Room.

Using Trick Room while it is already in effect will remove the effects of Trick Room.

Trick Room itself is a decreased priority move, and will always go last in a turn.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon

The user will ether randomly reduce or increase the speed of all Pokémon on the floor.

The users eyes glow red and it creates a transparent screen over the battlefield. Slow Pokémon can move first.

User	First Used In		Notes
	Dusknoir's eye glows red and a large light blue rectangle with light blue transparent walls and ceiling appear around the battlefield. Then, the light blue glow fades, and the walls and ceiling becomes invisible. During battle, while the attack is in effect, the slower Pokémon on the field moves extremely fast. Every time the opponent sends out a new Pokémon, the light blue transparent walls and ceiling appear again to show that it is still in effect.
