Correctly split the Unite page by properly summarizing the contents here. Yes I'm upset. Also, new split template for a basic attack split.

In {{g|UNITE}}, moves are skills that Pokémon use in battle. Moves | In {{g|UNITE}}, moves are skills that Pokémon use in battle. Moves can have many effects, ranging from directly attacking opponents, healing allies, quickly moving around, to improving one's own stats. Many moves can inflict {{UNITE|Conditions}} on opponents. After a move is used, it goes through a cooldown period where it cannot be used. | ||
Notably, moves are not the only form of attack. Each Pokémon has a '''basic attack''' separate from its moves that they can use to damage opponents. Basic attacks can be used freely and do not have cooldowns, but are not as strong as moves. Generally, every third basic attack a Pokémon performs instead becomes a boosted attack, which is stronger and can have move-like additional effects. | |||
'''Unite Moves''' are powerful moves unique to Pokémon UNITE. Unite Moves can only be learned and used in Unite Battles. Generally, each Pokémon only has one Unite Move. Instead of having a cooldown, using these moves requires having a full Unite Move gauge, and doing so empties the gauge. The Unite Move gauge refills over time. | |||
Wild Pokémon are able to use moves and basic attacks in ways similar to player-controlled Pokémon. | |||
