Move

A move is the primary method of attack that a Pokémon can use. They cause some effect when used. Most of the moves from the main line series are present in PMDO.

Information

Unlike basic attacks, moves must use PP as a resource. The amount of PP each move has is different from the main series, balanced around their strength in PMDO rather than the main series. Weaker moves typically have more PP, while more powerful moves have less. (I.e. Compare Thunderbolt and Thundershock.) Experience can only be gained if a move has been used while fainting an opponent. Combined with the power of the moves itself, this makes learning PP management an important skill to performing well in PMDO.

The strength of an attacking move typically depends on its type, power, and range. The most powerful moves in PMDO are typically those that can attack in a large range while being powerful, such as Silver Wind and Discharge.

Each move has its own unique properties. These include the type, category, power, accuracy, PP, range, and target. Moves may also have unique individual effects.
