What is the strongest move in Pokémon?

By raw base power, Explosion at 250 is the highest among conventional moves, though it causes the user to faint. Among moves that do not carry a severe drawback, Boomburst and Eruption at 140 to 150 power sit at the top. In practice the strongest move for any given Pokémon is usually a matching-type move of 90 to 110 power with reliable accuracy, because the same-type bonus and consistency outweigh a higher raw figure.

What is the difference between physical and special moves?

Physical moves use the attacker's Attack stat against the defender's Defense; special moves use Special Attack against Special Defense. Which category a move falls into is a property of the move itself, and has been since Generation 4 — before that it was determined by the move's type.

Is a higher power move always better?

No. Accuracy, same-type attack bonus and secondary effects frequently outweigh raw power. A 90-power move that matches the user's type and never misses will out-damage a 120-power move at 80% accuracy over the course of a battle, and moves like Scald earn their place through a burn chance rather than damage.

PP is Power Points — the number of times a move can be used before it must be restored at a Pokémon Center or with an item. It seldom matters in a short battle, but in long defensive stalemates exhausting an opponent's PP is a genuine win condition.

How does move priority work?

Priority overrides Speed. Moves with positive priority such as Quick Attack, Extreme Speed and Sucker Punch resolve before normal moves regardless of how fast either Pokémon is, which makes them valuable for finishing off a weakened opponent that would otherwise move first.

About Pokémon moves

Every Pokémon carries four moves into battle at a time, each one drawn from a species-specific learnset and defined by its own type, base power, accuracy and PP. Picking which four to run — out of a pool that can run past a hundred for older, widely-distributed species — is one of the first real strategic decisions a team faces, long before natures or EVs enter the picture.

Moves split into three categories. Physical and Special moves deal damage, drawing on the attacker's Attack or Sp. Atk stat respectively and the target's matching Defense or Sp. Def in return. Status moves do no direct damage at all — they reshape the battle instead, boosting or dropping stat stages, inflicting a status condition like burn or paralysis, or setting up field effects like hazards and weather.

Category used to track type: every Fire, Water, Electric, Grass, Ice, Psychic, Dragon and Dark move was Special, and everything else — Normal, Fighting, Poison, Ground, Flying, Bug, Rock, Ghost, Steel — was Physical, full stop. Generation 4 broke that link and assigned category per move instead of per type, which is why a Fighting move like Focus Blast is Special while a Psychic move like Zen Headbutt is Physical. That single change is arguably the biggest shift competitive teambuilding has seen: it let Pokémon threaten with a stat spread their typing alone wouldn't suggest.

Pokémon learn moves in a few different ways. Most learn a set of moves automatically as they level up, with each species having its own learnset defined by the games. Beyond that, TMs (Technical Machines) and TRs (Technical Records) let a Pokémon learn a move outside its natural learnset, provided the species is compatible — TMs are reusable across every recent generation, while older games limited each TM to a single use. Some moves can only be obtained through breeding (egg moves), from move tutors, or are exclusive to a Pokémon's Hidden Ability interactions.

Every move also has a PP (Power Points) value capping how many times it can be used before the Pokémon needs to rest or use items like Ethers and PP Ups to restore it. Move order in battle is determined primarily by Speed stat, but moves flagged with priority — such as Quick Attack or Extreme Speed — act before slower-priority moves regardless of Speed, which is a key mechanic in competitive teambuilding.
