|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Assurance | ![]() | Physical | - | 60 | 100 | 10 | 50 | If the target has already taken some damage in the same turn, this attack’s power is doubled. |
| Beat Up | ![]() | Physical | - | - | 100 | 10 | 15 | The user gets all party Pokémon to attack the target. The more party Pokémon, the greater the number of attacks. |

| Crunch | ![]() | Physical | - | 80 | 100 | 15 | 108 | The user crunches up the target with sharp fangs. This may also lower the target’s Defense stat. |
| Dark Pulse | ![]() | Special | 80 | 100 | 15 | 153 | The user releases a horrible aura imbued with dark thoughts. This may also make the target flinch. | |
| Dark Void | ![]() | Status | - | - | 80 | 10 | 1 | Opposing Pokémon are dragged into a world of total darkness that makes them sleep. |
| Embargo | ![]() | Status | - | 100 | 15 | 90 | This move prevents the target from using its held item. Its Trainer is also prevented from using items on it. | |

| Knock Off | ![]() | Physical | - | 65 | 100 | 20 | 41 | The user slaps down the target’s held item, and that item can’t be used in that battle. The move does more damage if the target has a held item. |

| Quash | ![]() | Status | - | 100 | 15 | 21 | The user suppresses the target and makes its move go last. | |
| Snarl | ![]() | Special | 55 | 95 | 15 | 64 | The user yells as if it’s ranting about something, which lowers the Sp. Atk stat of opposing Pokémon. | |
