Target: Single
Class: Projectile/Status (burn)
Stat: Physical
Contest Type: Pure Points
Contest Score: +40
The user surrounds itself in a sheet of extremely intense flame, then releases a powerful, coiling blast of fire at the foe. The great heat of this fire gives it a great chance of burning.
Sacred Sword - Fighting 90 100%
Target: Single
Class: Contact/Special
Stat: Physical
The user suffuses one of its horns or some other appendage with fighting energy, temporarily giving it the appearance of a glowing sword, and slices at its opponent. This attack can cut through any defense and as a result ignores all the target's stat modifications.
Safeguard - Normal 100%
Target: Multiple
Class: Special
Contest Type: Calming
Contest Score: +10
The user surrounds itself and its allies with a pale green aura that protects them from status for five actions. This attack requires a constant influx of energy to keep active.

Target: Single
Class: Projectile
Stat: Physical
Contest Type: Crowd Distraction

Sand-Attack - Ground 100%
Target: Single
Class: Projectile/Stat modifier (accuracy)
Contest Score: Interruption
Contest Score: +20, -10 (-40)
The user sweeps sand or small debris into the opponent's face, blinding it and reducing accuracy.
Sandstorm - Rock 100%
Target: All
Class: Weather
Contest Type: Scrambling
Contest Score: +30
The user can either create a widespread sandstorm that ravages all non-ground-, rock-, or steel-type pokémon, or shroud only itself in a concentrated shield of whirling dust to deflect incoming projectile attacks. Rock-type pokémon have their special defense multiplied by 1.5x as long as the sandstorm rages, moonlight and morning sun heal only up to 33% when under its effects, and solarbeam's power is halved so long as sandstorm is in play. In addition, visibility is greatly reduced for all pokémon caught in the sandstorm, though pokémon already vulnerable to it thanks to their typing have even more difficulty seeing than those that resist the storm's effects.
Scald - Water 80 100%
Target: Single
Class: Special/Status (burn)
Stat: Special
The user blasts the target with a stream of water that has been heated to near-boiling. There is a 30% chance that this attack will leave a burn in its wake.
Scary Face - Normal 100%
Target: Single
Class: Projectile/Stat modifier (speed)
Contest Type: Interruption
Contest Score: +20, -10 (-40)
The user makes a hideously scary face to frighten the opponent, stopping it in its tracks and causing it to be extremely cautious for the next few actions, greatly reducing its speed. This attack requires eye contact to be effective.
Scratch - 40 Normal 100%
Target: Single
Class: Contact
Stat: Physical
Contest Type: Pure Points

The user scratches the opponent with sharp claws or an analogous structure.
Searing Shot - Fire 100 100%

Target: Multiple
Class: Projectile/Stat modifier (defense)
Contest Type: Pure Points
Contest Score: +10, -30
The user lets out a piercing screech that causes the opponent's defense to decrease considerably for a short period of time as they wince with shock.
Secret Power - 70 Normal 100%
Target: Single
Class: Projectile/Status/Stat Modifier
Stat: Physical
Contest Type: Condition Fueled
Contest Score: 0 (+10/+30/+50/+70)
The user focuses and taps into an arcane power known only to a chosen few, unleashing it in the form of a brilliant beam of light. This beam draws upon the energy of the natural world, and it becomes colored according to the surrounding terrain and gains the power to cause some extra effect to the target as well (30% chance of extra effect; the attack is always normal-type). The beam color and its added effects, with regards to terrain, are thus:
Grass: Sleep; green
Sand: Reduce Accuracy; yellow
Shallow Water (pond or shallower): Reduce Speed; light blue or turquoise
Deep Water (lake or deeper): Reduce Attack; blue
Cave: Flinch; black
Snow/Ice: freeze; light blue
Inside Buildings, Other: Paralysis; white
When determining the terrain type for secret power, the overall arena's terrain type is taken into consideration (thus, if the arena is primarily field but has a small pond in the middle, secret power acts as it would for an area of short grass). If the arena is too diverse to assess in this fashion, the area directly surrounding the user of the attack is what is taken into consideration.
Secret Sword - Fighting 85 100%
Target: Single
Class: Projectile/Special
Stat: Special
The user conjures a holy sword made of pure fighting energy and uses it to stab the foe. Although created by the power of the user's mind, it cuts like a physical weapon, and so damage is based on the user's special attack but the target's physical defense.
Seed Bomb - 80 Grass 100%
Target: Single
Class: Projectile
Stat: Physical
Contest Type: Pure Points
Contest Score: +40
The user creates a dense ball of seeds and then throws it forcefully at the foe. The seeds explode to life upon contact, knocking the foe away in a burst of greenery.
Seed Flare - 120 Grass 85%
Target: Single
Class: Projectile/Stat modifier (special defense)
Stat: Special
Contest Type: Foe-Dependent
Contest Score: 0 (+30/+60)
The user pumps out a wave of pure grass-type energy that washes over the ground around it, awakening any seeds that may be lying dormant and causing existing vegetation to undergo a period of frenzied growth. The target is damaged not only by the energy blast itself but also the wild growth that accompanies it as plants force their way out of the ground all around, lashing it with thorny limbs and questing branches. This attack has the potential to slightly lower the target's special defense as the energy wave sears into their body.
Seismic Toss - Varies Fighting 100%
Target: Single
Class: Contact
Stat: Physical
Contest Type: Type-Aligned
Contest Score: +20, -10 (-30)
The user grabs the foe and tosses them away with sheer force. Damage is dependent on the strength of the user and weight of the enemy. A Pikachu throwing a snorlax, even if it could be done, would do little damage, whereas a machamp throwing a jigglypuff would do a great deal of damage. As a general rule, the base power and energy cost of this attack is determined by comparing the difference in weight between the user and the target as per the following target:
The user is 200 or more kg heavier than the target: 150 power, 4% energy
The user is between 100 kg and 199 kg heavier than the target: 100 power, 5% energy
The user is between 50 and 99 kg heavier than the target: 80 power, 6% energy
The user and the target's weight are within 50 kg of one another: 60 power, 7% energy
The user is between 50 and 99 kg lighter than the target: 40 power, 8% energy
The user is between 100 and 199 kg lighter than the target: 20 power, 9% energy
The user is 299 or more kg heavier than the target: the attack fails
Selfdestruct - 200 Normal 100%
Target: All
Class: Projectile
Stat: Physical
Contest Type: Sacrificial
Contest Score: +80
The user glows and releases its energy in an uncontrolled explosion, causing massive damage to any pokémon in the blast radius and knocking out the user. The amount of damage taken is largely dependent on how close a given pokémon to the one that selfdestructed.

Target: Single
Class: Projectile/Stat modifier (special defense)
Stat: Special
Contest Type: Distracting
Contest Score: +30

Target: Single
Class: Contact/Critical
Stat: Physical
Contest Type: First-Action Bonus
Contest Score: +20 (+20)

Target: Single
Class: Contact/Special
Stat: Physical
Contest Type: UltraJam
Contest Score: +40, -40

Target: Single
Class: Projectile
Stat: Physical
Contest Type: First-Action Bonus

Contest Type: +Condition
Contest Score: +10, *
The user's body glows as it is reconfigured into a shape with more sharp edges, slightly increasing attack power.
Sheer Cold - Ice 30%
Target: Single
Class: Projectile/OHKO
Stat: Special
Contest Type: Vindictive
Contest Score: +20, -10 (-1/2 last appeal)
The user spends a great deal of time and effort making the temperature of the arena fall to just a hair above absolute zero. Few pokémon can withstand the frigidness of this attack and as a result suffer massive damage from it. If the user is interrupted, this attack fails.
Shell Smash - Normal 100%
Target: Self
Class: Stat modifier (all)
The user willingly breaks off a large piece of its own armor or other protective coat, granting it extra mobility and thus greatly increasing its attack, special attack, and speed. Of course, doing so also leaves it more poorly defended, and its defense and special defense are both lowered in turn.
Shift Gear - Steel 100%
Target: Self
Class: Stat modifier (attack, speed)
The user takes a moment to alter the configuration of the gears that power its body, putting them into a more optimal configuration that increases its attack and greatly increases its speed.

Stat: Special
Contest Type: +Condition
Contest Score: +10, *

Simple Beam - Normal 100%
Target: Single
Class: Special
The user fires a powerful beam of normal energy at its target, eliminating some of its unique attributes but leaving it all the more intensely invested in the battle with all distractions stripped away. This attack eliminates all of a pokémon's inherent abilities and grants it the ability "simple" in their place.
Sing - Normal 55%
Target: Multiple
Class: Projectile/Status (sleep)
Contest Type: Intimidating
Contest Score: +20
The user sings a beautiful, singing song that lulls any who hear it to sleep.
Sketch - Normal 100%
Target: Single
Class: Special
Contest Type: Copycat
Contest Score: +10 (+last appeal)
The user sketches a move used against it in magical ink, committing it to memory and learning it permanently. Up to twenty moves may be sketched by a pokémon. Once an attack has first been sketched, the user simply draws it in the air with magical paint to bring it to life again whenever called upon to do so.
In addition, sketch may be used to temporarily draw up items for use in battle or alterations to the sketcher's own physique (for example, they could sketch themselves a pair of wings). However, these constructs are susceptible to being washed away by the rain or other water-type attacks.
Sketch cannot copy signature moves.
Skill Swap - Psychic 100%
Target: Single
Class: Special
Contest Type: Copycat
Contest Score: +10 (+last appeal)

The user charges up and glows with golden flying energy, streaking up into the sky to gain momentum before diving at the target and slamming into it with devastating power.
Sky Drop - Flying 60 100%
Target: Single
Class: Contact
Stat: Physical
The user gathers its opponent up and hauls them high into the air before dropping them back to earth and landing itself. While the pokémon being carried is in the air, it will be out of range of most attacks fired at it, but also won't be able to successfully attack anything but the pokémon carrying it, and the same applies to the user. As with fly, this attack takes only one action to perform, although the pokémon may be commanded to stay in the air longer or drop its opponent after more than one action has passed.
Sky Uppercut - 85 Fighting 90%
Target: Single
Class: Contact
Stat: Physical
Contest Type: Type-Aligned
Contest Score: +20, -10 (-30)

Sleep Powder - Grass 75%
Target: Single
Class: Projectile/Status (sleep)
Contest Type: Pure Points
Contest Score: +10, -30
The user releases a cloud of soporific powder that sends the opponent to sleep upon upon inhalation.
Sleep Talk - Normal 100%
Target: Random
Class: Random

Smack Down - 50 Rock 100%
Target: Single
Class: Projectile/Special
Stat: Physical
The user selects a large rock and hurls it with precise accuracy, knocking its target out of the sky and crushing it to the ground. This attack grounds pokémon that are hovering, flying, bouncing, preparing a sky drop, or inherently immune to ground-type attacks for any reason. In the case of fly, bounce, and sky drop, this attack brings the target back to earth immediately. In all other cases, it permanently removes the target's immunity to ground-type attacks.
Smellingsalt - 60 Normal 100%
Target: Single
Class: Contact/Healing (status)
Stat: Physical
Contest Type: Pure Points
Contest Score: +20, -30
The user slaps the opponent on both sides of its body, realigning joints that were disconnected by paralysis and shocking the opponent back into full use of its body. The more paralyzed the opponent is, the more manhandling is necessary to return them to normal functionality and, consequently, the more damage is dealt. The target is cured of paralysis if this attack is successful.
Smog - 20 Poison 70%
Target: Single
Class: Projectile/Status (poison)
Stat: Special
Contest Type: Pure Points
Contest Score: +10, -30

Snatch - Dark 100%
Target: Random
Class: Special/Priority 4
Contest Type: Vindictive
Contest Score: +20, -10 (-1/2 last appeal)
The user waits patiently, glowing with a dark aura, for one of its opponents to make an attack that it can steal. When the foe starts to perform one such attack, the dark energy surrounding the user swiftly lashes out and absorbs the move, drawing its energy back to snatch's user and giving it the attack's benefit. This attack is effective against all attacks that are self-affecting only and non-damaging, including stat-raising attacks such as swords dance, health-restoring attacks such as recover, status-removing attacks such as refresh, defensive attacks such as light screen, and some miscellaneous attacks such as substitute (in the case of substitute, the snatching pokémon will still lose health to create the substitute, while the original user of the attack will not). This attack cannot be given a specific target; it takes effect against the first attack that can be snatched, regardless of what pokémon uses it.
Snarl - Dark 55 95%
Target: Multiple
Class: Projectile/Stat modifier (special attack)
Stat: Special
The user lets out a long, intimidating snarl laced with undertones of an arcane spell. Any against whom the terrifying noise is directed will be made uncomfortably aware of how dangerous their opponent is, with the result that their special attack is lowered.

Target: Multiple
Class: Projectile/Flinch
Stat: Special
Contest Type: Pure Points
Contest Score: +40

Softboiled - Normal 100%
Target: Self

Solarbeam - 120 Grass 100%
Target: Single
Class: Projectile
Stat: Special
Contest Type: Pure Points
Contest Score: +40
The user gathers solar energy within itself and then releases it at the opponent in the form of a high-energy beam of light and heat. It takes less time and energy to charge during sunny day, and more during rain dance/sandstorm/at night. The power of solarbeam is also cut in half under such conditions.
Sonicboom - 20 Normal 90%
Target: Single
Class: Projectile
Stat: Special
Contest Type: Type Fueled
Contest Score: +20 (+40)
The user blasts a supersonic charge at the opponent, causing a painfully loud sonic boom as the attack passes its target.
Spacial Rend - 100 Dragon 95%
Target: Single
Class: Projectile/Critical
Stat: Special
Contest Type: Pure Points
Contest Score: +10, -40

Target: Single
Class: Contact/Status (paralysis)
Stat: Physical
Contest Type: Pure Points
Contest Score: +10, -40

Target: Single

Contest Score: +40
The user spits up a glob of pure energy that was stockpiled beforehand. Damage dealt is equal to 1.5x the amount of energy stockpiled, and all defense boosts gained from using stockpile are immediately lost with the use of spit up.
Spite - Ghost 100%
Target: Single
Class: Projectile/Special
Contest Type: Final-Action Bonus
Contest Score: +20 (+40)
The user spitefully seals off the last move used by the opponent with a ghostly curse, making it much more difficult for the target to use it in the future. As a result, the spited attack costs the target 4% more energy than normal to use, after all other modifiers have been applied, until they are knocked out or recalled. More than one move may be spited at a time, and repeated uses of spite against the same attack have cumulative effects.
Splash - Normal 100%
Target: Single
Class: Über
Contest Type: Final-Action Bonus
Contest Score: +20 (+40)
The user KO's the opponent. With laughter. For added effect, use this attack while intensified gravity is in effect.

Target: Single
Class: Projectile/Status (sleep)
Contest Type: Pure Points
Contest Score: +10, -30
The user releases a large cloud of spores that induce sleep in any who are unlucky enough to inhale them. Unlike other powder attacks, however, spore is made up of particles so fine that they are nearly impossible to see, making it much more difficult to avoid than sleep powder and similar.
Stealth Rock - Rock 100%
Target: Multiple
Contest Type: Intimidating
Contest Score: +20
The user conjures a field of airborne rock shards that surround the target(s) in a spinning cloud of sharp-edged stones. Coming into contact with one of these rocks causes 2% rock-type damage.
Steamroller - Bug 65 100%
Target: Single
Class: Contact/Flinch
Stat: Physical
The user curls up into a ball and rolls right over its opponent, crushing it into the ground. There is a 30% chance that the target may be stunned and slow to pick itself up off the ground, resulting in a flinch. This attack's power is doubled against minimized foes.

Target: Single
Class: Contact/Stat modifier (defense)
Stat: Physical
Contest Type: Type Fueled
Contest Score: +20 (+40)

Target: Self
Class: Special/Stat Modifier (defense, special defense)
Contest Type: Concentration

Target: Single
Class: Contact/Flinch (30%)

Stat: Special
The user draws on all the power that has gone into buffing it up for battle and uses it to fuel a mighty psychic attack. This attack's base power is 20 plus 20 more for each level any of the user's stats have been raised, to a maximum of +6 in all stats (a total of 30 levels, for a base power of 620).
Storm Throw - 40 Fighting 100%
Target: Single
Class: Contact/Special

Struggle Bug - Bug 30 100%
Target: Multiple
Class: Projectile/Stat modifier (special attack)
Stat: Special
The user flails and writhes around in a rather disturbing manner, casting bursts of bug energy in all directions. Although this attack does little damage, it's extremely off-putting and sure to break a foe's concentration, causing the special attack of all those struck by it to fall.
Stun Spore - Grass 75%
Target: Single
Class: Projectile/Status (paralysis)
Contest Type: Vindictive
Contest Score: +20, -10 (-1/2 last appeal)

Submission - 80 Fighting 80%
Target: Single
class: Contact
Stat: Physical
Contest Type: Risky
Contest Score: +60
The user grabs the opponent and beats them into submission, finally tossing them away after an aggressive assault. The unbridled violence of this attack causes the user to incur some recoil damage as the target struggles and lashes out in their grasp before being subdued.
Substitute - Normal 100%
Target: Self
Class: Special
Contest Type: Concentration
Contest Score: +20
The user channels its lifeforce into creating a construct in its exact likeness to take damage and protect it from status attacks. The substitute can do whatever its creator does and mimics the attacks made, but will not intentionally damage the opponent or benefit from side-effects of attacks such as swords dance.

Sucker Punch - 80 Dark 100%
Target: Single
Class: Contact/Special/Priority 1
Stat: Physical
Contest Type: First-Priority
Contest Score: +30
The user waits until the opponent prepares an attack, then deals it an underhanded blow while it is still preparing and its guard is down. This attack may disrupt the opponent's attack, but if the opponent fails to use a damaging move the user will be unsure of when to strike and this attack will fail entirely.
Sunny Day - Fire 90%
Target: All
Class: Weather
Contest Type: Crowd Fueled
Contest Score: 0 (+10/+20/+30/+40/+50/+60)
The user summons the sun to brighten the field. This makes charging solarbeam easier, and the resulting heat reduces the power of water attacks to 2/3 their normal effectiveness while increasing fire attacks to 1.25x their normal strength. Thunder's accuracy is reduced to 30%, and it becomes easier for pokémon to thaw after being frozen, while the freeze condition may not be induced afresh. Moonlight and morning sun restore up to 66% health instead of up to 30%.
Super Fang - Varies Normal 90%
Target: Single
Class: Contact
Stat: Physical
Contest Type: Vindictive
Contest Score: +20, -10 (-30)
The user forces a massive amount of energy into its fangs and bites into the opponent, cutting their current health in half. The energy required to perform this attack is equal to 75% the damage dealt, and this attack is affected by damage caps.
Superpower - 120 Fighting 100%
Target: Single
Class: Contact/Stat modifier (attack, defense)
Stat: Physical
Contest Type: Risky
Contest Score: +60
The user recklessly summons all its energy to it in one burst and pummels the foe with an incredibly strong attack. After the pokémon calms down, however, it will be weakened until it has time to recover its strength.
Supersonic - Normal 55%
Target: Single
Class: Status (confusion)
Contest Type: Scrambling
Contest Score: +30
The user screeches out high-pitched waves that disorient and confuse its target.
Surf - 95 Water 100%
Target: All
Class: Projectile
Stat: Special
Contest Type: Foe Dependent
Contest Score: 0 (+30/+60)
The user gathers a massive amount of water into a large wave and rides it right into the opponents, although its unfortunate allies will likely be unable to escape this attack's fury themselves. This attack requires a decent amount of water nearby to perform effectively.
Swagger - Normal 90%
Target: Single
Class: Projectile/Status (confusion)/Stat modifier (attack)
Contest Type: First-Action Bonus
Contest Score: +20 (+40)
The user struts around and brags loudly, infuriating the opponent and sending them into a berserk rage where they may harm themselves.
Swallow - Normal N/A%
Target: Self
Class: Healing (direct)
Contest Type: +Condition
Contest Score: +10, *
The user swallows stockpiled energy to restore health. The amount of health restored is equal to 2.5x the energy stockpiled. The user loses all stat bonuses gained as a result of stockpiling after using swallow.
Sweet Kiss - Normal 75%
Target: Single
Class: Status (confusion)
Contest Type: Intimidating
Contest Score: +20
The user gives the target a shy kiss on the cheek, charming but confusing them. The move is less likely to succeed if used again on the same opponent later in the battle.
Sweet Scent - Normal 100%
Target: Multiple
Class: Projectile/Stat modifier (accuracy)
Contest Type: Pure Points
Contest Score: +10, -30
The user wafts a sweet scent at the opposing pokémon, entrancing them and making them drop their guard and become more easy to strike.

Switcheroo - Dark 100%
Target: Single
Class: Special
Contest Type: Jealous
Contest Score: +20 (+30)
Using dark-type trickery, the user swaps all the target's body modifications involving external items (i.e. armor), in addition to whatever items the target may be holding, for its own.
Swords Dance - Normal 100%
Target: Self
Class: Stat modifier (attack)
Contest Type: +Condition
Contest Score: +10, *
The user twirls around in a warrior's dance, working itself up into a zen-like state and greatly heightening its battle awareness and attack capabilities. During the spin, projectile attacks may be deflected.
Synchronoise - 70 Psychic 100%
Target: All others
Class: Projectile/Special
Stat: Special
The user projects a wash of psychic interference tuned to its particular elemental affinity in all directions, causing painful headaches for all other pokémon that share its type but leaving those without the same affinity unscathed.
Synthesis - Grass 100%
Target: Self
Class: Healing (direct)
Contest Type: Random
Contest Score: 0 (+10/+20/+40/+80)
The user gathers energy from the sun and absorbs it to rapidly synthesize a bulk amount of health. Under sunny conditions the user will be able to gather much more light, resulting in a recovery of up to 66% health. However, during rain, sandstorm, or hail, the reduction in sunlight will restrict recovery to 25% health.
