==Effect==
Assist randomly selects one of the moves known by the user's [[party]] allies (including [[Fainting|fainted]] Pokémon) and executes it. A move 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. If there are no moves that can be called in the party, the move will fail. In [[Generation V]] only, Assist can use moves known by unhatched {{pkmn|Egg}}s in the party.
{{MoveResearch|Can it call moves from an ally (and allied inactive Pokémon) in a Multi Battle?}}
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.


In a wild [[Double Battle]], a wild Pokémon that uses Assist can use a move the other wild Pokémon knows.
