Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it.
Reason: Uncallable moves in Generation VII and Mystery Dungeon (if any)

Assist randomly selects one of the moves known by the user's party allies (including fainted Pokémon) and executes it. A move called up by Assist counts as the last move used. A Pokémon will be able to use a move that is disabled in its own moveset if called via Assist. If there are no moves that can be called in the party, the move will fail. In Generation V only, Assist can use moves known by unhatched Eggs in the party.

In a wild Double Battle, a wild Pokémon that uses Assist can use a move the other wild Pokémon knows.

If powered up by a Normalium Z into Z-Assist, it will turn the called move into its respective Z-Move.

Assist will not call itself or any of the following moves:

Trivia

The Japanese name for this move, ねこのて Neko no Te (Cat's Paw), is likely a reference to the saying 猫の手も借りたい neko no te mo karitai, which translates to "I would even like to borrow a cat's hands" ("I would even like a cat to assist me"), which means "I need all the help I can get". This is reflected by the way the move works, and that many feline Pokémon are capable of learning it.

 ==Trivia==
-* The Japanese name for this move, ねこのて ''Neko no Te'' (Cat's Paw), is likely a reference to the saying 猫の手も借りたい ''neko no te mo karitai'', which translates to "''I would even like to borrow a cat's hands''" ("''I would even like a cat to assist me''"), which means "''I need all the help I can get"''. This is reflected by the way the move works, and that many catlike Pokémon are capable of learning it.
