ASB Movelist
My god folks, we've come a long way. 4 generations in-over a decade of this game somehow permeating our lives. Finally, we have one Ginormous movelist for ASB. Much credit to Crazy Elf Boy for helping me with this undertaking.
Few things.
1) 90% of the moves have not changed. So don't cry, they haven't been massively edited, they just look prettier.
2) For the 10% of moves that have changed, or for any move you feel is still inadequatly represented, let your voice be heard. We tried to stick to the core concept of Anime induced fighting, but alot of the moves nowadays in the Anime are the same as the games.
((Still, for those that are vastly different, kudos to Chris 2.1 for thinking them up way back when.))
3) When reffing-these are guidelines (the damage and energy parameters) I know people may not follow them exactly and that's ok. They're there to show everyone around what range these moves should be around. Its ok to be over/under. Not trying to pidgeonhole ya.
Ok. Without any further Ado!

All nearby Pokemon (user, friends AND enemies, as well as any wild Pokemon not in balls) who can smell the aroma will be jolted awake from sleep, calmed out of confusion, and given a slight jolt which would slightly ease paralysis. It also gives the effect of Sweet Scent, possibly aiding in the same effect as Attract. The effectiveness of the attack depends on how close the target is from the user, and whether or not the target can smell the odor, etc.
Fatigue: Moderate
Accuracy: Depends on proximity
Aromatic Mist: -FAI- Using a mysterious aroma, the user sharply raises the Sp Def of the target.
Fatigue: Moderate.
Damage: None.

Barrier: -PSY- The user produces a transparent (but visible) screen of force around themselves, effectively enclosing themselves in a fort. This Barrier is flat, thin, square, and mobile. It is virtually indestructible, but it does fade in power over time. While erected, the Barrier will heighten a Pokemon's Defense. Barriers last a while, but not forever.
Fatigue: Low/Moderate
Accuracy: Excellent
Other: Snatchable
Baton Pass: -NRM- The user switches out, but does not faint like normal. The user’s trainer sends out another pokémon from their collection, which gets the benefits of all of the user’s stat boosts, positive and negative (basically, anything that goes away with time, referee’s adjudication). The pokémon that is switched out is “locked in” as a battler in this particular battle and must be sent out again before the battle ends. This move cannot be used by the last unfainted pokémon on a team. This one of the only legal ways to switch out a pokémon midbattle without fainting/disqualifying it. Once Baton Pass is used, the rest of the round is continued as normal.
Fatigue: Moderate
Accuracy: Excellent
Beat Up: -DRK- For each ally still conscious on the bench, the user summons up a shade representing that ally. The shades in question attack in rapid succession. The attack appears just like a regular attack the template ally would have used, but it functions with a dark elemental instead of its normal element. Shades fade away within a few seconds whether attacked or not, so they have to get in their attack quickly. It is very difficult to defend against this whole attack, since each attack comes at a slightly different time from a slightly different angle. Protective shields raised against one shade may or may not be shattered or bypassed by the cumulative attacks of the other shades, according to the adjudication of the referee. The move itself has good accuracy, but each shade must check accuracy as well.
Fatigue: Depends on amount
Damage: Individual shade-Low. Cumulative: Depends on size of match
Accuracy: Good
Other: Physical
Belch: -PSN- The user swallows a lot of air before belching a harsh belch. Everyone on the field, aside from the user, will flinch momentarily.
Fatigue: High.
Damage: High.
Accuracy: Good.
Other: Special. User will be completely vulnerable to attack while gathering energy for the attack.
Belly Drum: -NRM- The user slams its fists into its belly, mentally psyching itself up for battle. The user reaches a sort of battle frenzy, totally ignoring all defense in favor of crushing the opponent with highly-buffed attacks. This is the strongest attack buff in the game, but the user cannot even attempt to dodge or reduce damage from enemy attacks.
Fatigue: Moderate
Accuracy: N/A
Other: Snatchable. Maxed attack, heavily weakened defense
Bestow: -NRM- Feeling generous, the user allows the foe one free self-beneficial move..
Fatigue: Light
Accuracy: Excellent
Other: Free turn! Use with caution!
Bide: -NRM- All attacks that hit the user will deal damage as normal, but the energy will be absorbed. At the end of the Bide, this energy will be directed at any one target as a single massive attack. This attack is always of good accuracy and is of the Normal element. Its power is increased however. The duration of the technique cannot be controlled precisely, however; it will last a number of actions up to the referee and then discharge. In general, however, it should last more than one action and less than a full round unless the user attempts to concentrate on an unusually long Bide, in which case they might or might not succeed, depending on whether they can maintain concentration.
Fatigue: Moderate
Damage: Depends on attacks
Accuracy: Excellent
Other: Physical

Bite: -DRK- The user chomps down with a toothy maw onto the victim. Dark energy crackles between these teeth into the victim’s flesh.

Damage: Light/Good
Accuracy: Good
Other: Physical. Slight chance of flinching.
Blast Burn: -FIR- The user creates a very large, very hot fireball which is sent towards the victim(s). This attack uses up so much energy that the user needs to take a quick rest after using it, just like Hyper Beam. Also like Hyper Beam, however, the attack could have varying levels of intensity, including a "quick fire" version which doesn't require a break.
Fatigue: Extremely High
Damage: Incredible
Accuracy: Excellent
Other: Special. User recharges for an action.
Blaze Kick: -FIR- The user's leg becomes covered in flames a la Fire Punch, and the user deals a powerful kick which does both fire damage and solid physical damage.
Fatigue: Moderate/Good
Damage: Good
Accuracy: Excellent
Other: Physical
Blizzard: -ICE- The user produces a blast of crystalline ice shards that emanate in a wide cone in whichever direction the user is ordered. An enemy that cannot escape in time will be encased in rime, which hinders movement. The attack must charge for a few brief seconds and it takes time for the ice shards to get to where they’re going, so it can be dodged more easily.
Fatigue: High
Damage: Excellent
Accuracy: Moderate
Other: Moderate chance of freezing. Special
Block: -NRM- The user gets in such a position such that the victim's trainer cannot connect a Pokeball's recall beam with the victim, the victim cannot return to its Trainer via Baton Pass or U-Turn. This prevents immediate recall. The move can also be used to seal off exits and other pathways if need be. The move's energy usage and accuracy is dependent on the user, the arena, and any other factors.
Fatigue: Depends
Accuracy: Excellent
Blue Flare: -FIR- Don't let the color fool you, this bright blue flame will lure you in with its radiance, and scorch you with its power-which is what the user seeks to incur upon its foes.
Fatigue: High
Damage: Incredible
Accuracy: Excellent
Other: Special
Body Slam: -NRM- The user jumps on top of its opponent and bears it to the ground. The target takes damage according to the mass of the user (bigger pokémon have better Body Slams) and may be pinned in place under the bulk of the other unless it can wriggle free. The user will maintain the pin without taking an action as long as it avoids movement unless the victim can work its way free. The more movement the user makes, the easier it is for the victim to wriggle free.
Fatigue: Moderate/High
Damage: Highly variable
Accuracy: Good
Other: Slight chance of paralysis. Physical

Fatigue: Moderate/High
Damage: Good
Accuracy: Good.
Other: Physical
Bonemerang: -GRD- The user throws its bone club at a distant opponent. The bone bounces off, but then the user telekinetically calls it back.

Curse: -???-
Def 1.) Utilized by ghosts; the user sacrifices half their health to cause ongoing damage to their opponent. If the user is above 50% health, then Curse only takes 25% of their full health.

Accuracy: Good
Def 2.) Utilized by non ghosts; The user concentrates, moving slowly and deliberately. In this state, it is as steady as a rock, and cannot be thrown off balance or out grappled easily.

Destiny Bond -GHO- If any pokémon knocks out a pokémon that is using Destiny Bond, that pokémon also faints. Destiny Bond can only be used in response to an direct attack, and burns a great deal of fatigue, so it shouldn’t be used unless fainting is imminent. Attacks that indirectly harm the user of Destiny Bond can bypass the threat; for instance a collapsing ceiling knocking out a Destiny Bond user will end up trying to faint the ceiling, which is not possible since the ceiling was never conscious in the first place. Given this, Destiny Bond works best as a surprise, so it is not advised that you alert your opponent to your intent.
Fatigue: High
Damage: N/a
Accuracy: Excellent
Other: Insta-ko opponent if directly hit and KO’ed
Detect -FGT- The user uses senses that border on precognition and telepathy to determine many details about the opponent’s next action, including attack method, attack vector, attack target, attack source, etc. This knowledge can be used in whatever way is plausible, but the most common way is to move to a location that is not within the attack vector or attack area. The ability operates slower each time it is used due to mounting fatigue, so if used repeatedly the chance that the user will be able to act on the newfound knowledge in time decreases. Detect also burns an unusual amount of fatigue, so caution is warranted.
Fatigue: Moderate/High
Accuracy: Excellent but decreasing
Dig -GRD- The user digs very quickly into relatively soft materials such as regular dirt. Hard materials such as metal, of course, are too hard to burrow through. The user can duck into such a tunnel with surprising speed, potentially foiling attackers that did not expect such a move. Once underground, the user can move around slowly without coming up to the surface. While underground, the user can either sap out a portion of the arena to create a big hole or burrow up quickly for a surprise attack. Creating a hole under an opponent will cause trivial damage but now the opponent will be stuck in a hole. Surprise attacks are more likely to bypass defense mechanisms. It is very difficult to follow a Digging pokémon, since they move the earth from in front of themselves to the tunnel behind themselves, thus sealing it up as they proceed. A follower, whether hostile or friendly, must stay very close. Two Diggers are unlikely to run into each other by chance, although some pokémon would be able to detect the vibrations associated with Digging. Pokémon that do not know Dig can dig, but they will be much slower at doing so and therefore will not be able to act quickly enough to evade attacks or allow for either basic attack strategy. However, they may be able to dig down to find a Digger, given time.
Fatigue: Moderate
Damage: Good
Accuracy: Good
Other: Physical
Disable -PSY- The victim is lined in a red glow and is unable to move so long as the user of Disable continues concentrating on the psionic grapple. The user cannot do other actions without breaking this concentration, but a sudden attack may be able to catch the suddenly-released victim by surprise. The power fails over time if held too long, regardless of how much the user concentrates.
Fatigue: Moderate
Accuracy: Moderate
Disarming Voice: -FAI- The user insults its taget with a nasty cry.
Fatigue: Moderate.
Damage: Low.
Accuracy: Never misses.
Other: Special.
Discharge –ELE– A sudden and bright flash of sparks are expelled by the user, shocking the foe. High chance of paralysis.
Fatigue: Moderate
Damage: Good
Accuracy: Excellent
Other: Special.
Dive -WAT- The user dives deep down, coming back up after several seconds to deliver a solid physical blow.
Fatigue: Moderate
Damage: Good
Accuracy: Good
Other: Physical
Dizzy Punch -NRM- The user swings a glowing white fist, charged with chi energy that immediately crackles through whatever the fist hits, causing disorienting confusion for a short while.
Fatigue: Moderate
Damage: Good
Accuracy: Moderate
Other: Low chance of confusion. Physical
Doom Desire -STL- The user calls on a steel-version Future Sight which can come down from the heavens in anywhere from 1 to 3 rounds. Halfway before the attack comes, snowflakes of energy come raining down gently which calm the victim. The beam of energy which rains down is Steel-type. Stat changes or switching after Doom Desire has been launched don't change the damage. Furthermore, you can't use Doom Desire while one is still pending.
Fatigue: High
Damage: Incredible
Accuracy: Good
Double Edge -NRM- The user attacks with a series of basic attacks in an incredibly violent frenzy. This does significant damage, but the user may injure itself due to the incautious nature of the frenzy.
Fatigue: High
Damage: Excellent
Accuracy: Good
Other: Physical. Recoil damage
Double Hit –NRM– Two sharp attacks are dealt to the foe in quick succession. Each individual attack is weak.
Fatigue: Moderate
Damage: Light/Moderate
Accuracy: Good
Other: Physical
Double Kick -FGT- The user kicks out with two legs, kicking the target viciously.
Fatigue: Moderate
Damage: Good
Accuracy: Good
Other: Physical
Doubleslap -NRM- The user slaps a target with open palms. Hard. Repeatedly. In rapid succession. It is difficult to block the full effect with most defenses, because the slaps just keep coming back for another whack.
Fatigue: Light
Damage: Light/Moderate
Accuracy: Good
Other: Physical
Double Team -NRM- Several images (usually 2-6) split off from the original user, each of which appears exactly like the user. Each of these images follows the orders of the original’s trainer, but each does so in slightly a different way so that the genuine article is virtually impossible to determine. They aren’t perfect mirror images; if they’re ordered to attack, for instance, they’ll all aim at the requested target instead of simply firing their attacks in parallel lines. These images have no substance and are destroyed if jarred in any way, but as long as they last they provide a distraction. Attacks that are aimed at an image instead of the original won’t harm the original, and attempts to dodge the original’s attacks will also have to contend with dodging several illusory attacks—after all, there’s no way to know which ONE attack is real.
Fatigue: Moderate
Accuracy: Excellent
Other: Snatchable
Draco Meteor –DGN– A ferociously intense dragon attack: the user summons a catastrophic meteor to crash and explode upon the foe. The meteor is very large and very difficult to manipulate with psychic attacks. However strong tier attacks may help hold it off or break it. The attack can lower the user's special attack stat.
Fatigue: High
Damage: Incredible
Accuracy: Good
Other: Special. Absolutely destructive. Sharply lowers the user's Sp. Atk.
Dragon Claw -DRG- The user focuses Dragon energy into their claws and then swipes at the target.
Fatigue: Moderate
Damage: Good/Excellent
Accuracy: Excellent
Other: Physical
Dragon Dance -DRG- The user performs a Swords Dance-esque spin, which increases their speed and attack prowess. All movement done after Dragon Dance, like Agility, will consume slightly less energy.
Fatigue: Moderate
Accuracy: Excellent
Other: Snatchable . Raises the user’s Atk and Spd
Dragon Pulse –DRG– Draconian power is expelled through a pulsating beam of energy.
Fatigue: Moderate
Damage: Good
Accuracy: Good
Other: Special
Dragon Rage -DRG- The user spits a mass of pinkish-red dragon energy, which is then shaped into a favored shape (usually a tornado or a spheroid) which engulfs the opponent. Most defenses have difficulty blocking this particularly energetic attack.
Fatigue: Moderate
Damage: Good
Accuracy: Good
Other: Special
Dragon Rush –DRG– The user leaps and charges, diving down at the foe. They are swathed in draconian energy.
Fatigue: Moderate
Damage: Excellent
Accuracy: Good

Fatigue: Moderate
Damage: Good
Accuracy: Excellent
Other: Physical
Dragonbreath -DRG- The user spits a stream of pinkish-red dragon energy, which may cause the muscles of the target to lock up in an erratic manner.
Fatigue: Moderate
Damage: Good
Accuracy: Good
Other: Special. Can cause paralysis
Drain Punch –FGT– The user deals a swift punch and recovers half the damage they inflict.
Fatigue: Low
Damage: Moderate
Accuracy: Excellent
Other: Physical. Classed as an indirect recovery move.
Draining Kiss: -FAI- User kisses the target and recovers over half the damage they inflict.
Fatigue: Moderate.
Damage: Moderate.
Accuracy: Excellent.
Other: Special. Classed as an indirect recovery move.
Dream Eater -PSY- The user reaches out with an ethereal feeding tube into the dreams of a target that is either sleeping or in a healing trance. The forcible removal of these dreams causes massive psychic trauma, but this move alone reinforces sleep enough so that the victim is no more likely to awaken than if they’d never been attacked in the first place. Devoured dreams can be rapidly metabolized for healing, generally for a significant fraction of the damage caused.
Fatigue: Moderate/High
Damage: Excellent.
Accuracy: Good
Other: Special. Heals user a significant amount
Drill Peck -FLY- The user pecks an opponent really, really hard. Repeatedly.
Fatigue: Moderate
Damage: Good
Accuracy: Good

Fatigue: Moderate
Damage: Good
Accuracy: Excellent
Other: Can cause a crit hit.
Dual Chop -DRG- Two sharp attacks are dealt to the foe in quick succession. Each individual attack is weak.
Fatigue: Moderate

Dynamic Punch -NRM- The user swings a glowing white fist, charged with chi energy that immediately crackles through whatever the fist hits, causing disorienting confusion for a short while.
Fatigue: Moderate
Damage: Good
Accuracy: Low
Other: Physical. Causes confusion.
---E---
Earth Power –GRD– A majestic attack that takes energy from the earth around and comprises it in a fantastic blast that strikes the foe. It may lower the foe’s physical defenses.
Fatigue: Moderate
Damage: Good
Accuracy: Excellent
Other: Special. Can lower Def.
Earthquake -GRD- The user slams a paw or other appendage into the ground, giving the strike a telekinetic boost so that a widening cone of seismic unrest proceeds through the ground ahead. Anything caught in this cone will be slammed about as the earth buckles and jumps. This move may cause certain constructs, such as tunnels, to collapse, in which case environmental damage may be sustained by anything under the falling debris. Conceivably, pokémon could be pinned in place if sufficient debris fell on them. This move is dependent on the presence of a ground that is subject to seismic disturbances, and anything that is not in contact with the ground is unlikely to be directly affected.
Fatigue: Moderate/High
Damage: Excellent
Accuracy: Good
Other: Physical
Echoed Voice -NRM- The Pokemon using this attack uses its voice as a weapon-forcing sonic waves to harm its foes. If used in unison, this attack grows in effectiveness.
Fatigue: Moderate
Damage: Good/Excellent if more than one uses it.
Accuracy: Excellent
Other: Special
Eerie Impluse: -ELE- The user exposes its target to an unsettling impulse, lowing their Sp Atk harshly.
Fatigue: Moderate
Damage: None
Accuracy: Excellent
Egg Bomb -NRM- The user throws an explosive resembling an egg at a given location. All targets in the blast radius suffer damage.
Fatigue: Moderate
Damage. Good
Accuracy: Good
Other: Physical
Electric Terrain: -ELE- The user charges the ground below, creating a vibrant effect for five rounds. Any pokémon touching the ground will be unable to fall asleep.
Fatigue: Moderate
Damage: None
Accuracy: Excellent
Electrify: -ELE- The user strikes the target in such a way that their body remains unharmed. However, if they try to attack, that attack will now be an electric-type attack instead of it's regular type.
Fatigue: Moderate
Damage: None
Accuracy: Excellent
Electro Ball -ELE- A electrical sphere is created and flung toward the foe. The damage ranges on the foe’s speed:
Light Damage: The Pokemon is slow and labored.
Good damage: The foe has a generally good speed.
Excellent damage: The foe has exceptional speed.
This may be measured in a variety of ways; species (Snorlax is naturally slower than say a Manectric) or status (confused, paralyzed or injured Pokemon may be slower). It can also depend on how much evasion has been used during the match or if the foe has any stat boosts.
Fatigue: Varying (depending on damage)
Damage: See above. Maximum 12%
Accuracy: Excellent
Other: Special
Electroweb -ELE- A charged blitz of energy expands and encumbers the opponent while causing pain.
Fatigue: Moderate
Damage: Good
Accuracy: Excellent
Other: Lowers Spd
Ember -FIR- A wide-angle, short-range spray of fire that may burn.
Fatigue: Light
Damage. Light
Accuracy: Good
Other: Special. Slight chance of burning
Embargo –DRK– The user manages to unleash a cold energy that envelops the foe’s body, making its fingers and hands numb. Grasping is difficult, and punching attacks suffer because of it. Also consider the lack of picking items up with fingers and grabbing onto something for protection or safety. The freeze effect goes over the next few rounds but can be sped up by heat or movement.
Fatigue: Light/Moderate
Damage: None
Accuracy: Excellent
Encore -NRM- The victim’s trainer’s orders are rewritten so that the last move taken is done again, overwriting whatever was there before. The victim pokémon will be under the mistaken impression that it has successfully carried out its trainer’s orders, so ordering substitutions to bypass Encore is an exercise in futility. For instance, if a Clefable’s attack orders were “Clear Skies, Moonlight until successful, and then Flamethrower if you have time” and the Clear Skies was Encored, the Clefable would Clear Skies twice and then Flamethrower, under the mistaken impression that its second order was successful. However, it is difficult to maintain this illusion if the Encore is overused.
Fatigue: Light/Moderate
Accuracy: Excellent but decreasing
Endeavor -NRM- The user performs a flail like attack, which deals more damage depending on the situation the user is in. If the user is in a tough spot, it will focus its energy greater. A " tough spot" is up to interpretation, but can include anything from a death-defying scenario to facing a fresh opponent while near-KO. Damage is also based on the amount of energy left, and many times, Endeavor will consume all remaining energy, depending on the situation.
Fatigue: High
Damage: Depends on scenario
Accuracy: Good
Other: Physical
Endure -NRM- The user braces itself for incoming attacks. All incoming attacks inflict significantly less damage than normal, and they never successfully reduce the user of Endure to less than 1% health, unless it is already below 1% health. Endure burns no relevant fatigue, but constant abuse from an opponent will break through this defense eventually.
Fatigue: None.
Accuracy: Excellent
Energy Ball –GRS– A ball of smooth, concentrated natural energy that can lower the foe’s defenses.
Fatigue: Moderate
Damage: Good
Accuracy: Good
Other: Special.
Entrainment -NRM- Always the life of the party, this move gets the foe and the user to dance about and shake their groove thang. By the time the jig is over, the Pokemon both share the user's ability.
Fatigue: Low
Accuracy: Excellent
Eruption -FIR- Using a large amount of fire energy, the user focuses and sends out a thick stream of fire and rocks which can easily burn the victim.
Fatigue: High
Damage: Good/Excellent
Accuracy: Moderate
Other: Special. Chance of burning
Explosion -NRM- The user creates an explosion, centered on itself. Anything in the blast radius will suffer multiple exposures to incredible damage. It is difficult to block the full effect with most defenses, because the shockwaves just keep washing through the blast radius. Unfortunately, the user itself will not be able to outlast the explosion without fainting itself, regardless of what countermeasures it attempts.
Fatigue: Incredible
Damage: Multiple waves of incredible damage.
Accuracy: Excellent
Other: Physical. User faints after using this move.
Extrasensory -PSY- The user shoots out a beam of psychic energy which deals slightly higher than moderate damage, but also attacks one of their senses at random, which can startle, irritate or confuse the victim.
Fatigue: Moderate
Damage: Good/Excellent
Accuracy: Excellent
Other: Special. Small chance of confusion or flinch
Extreme Speed -NRM- The user channels all of its speed into one brutal series of physical attacks. If used properly, it can surprise opponents, aid in evading attacks, and/or deal greater damage due to elevated speeds.
Fatigue: Moderate
Damage: Good/Excellent
Accuracy: Good
Other: Physical
