'''Me First''' (Japanese: '''さきどり''' ''Take in Advance'') is a {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].
'''Me First''' (Japanese: '''さきどり''' ''Take in Advance'') is a non-damaging {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].


==Effect==
==Effect==
If the foe has not made the first move, Me First copies any damage-dealing move that the target is about to use and increases the power by 50%. It bypasses {{stat|accuracy}} checks to always hit, unless the opponent is in the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable turn}} of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}. Me First will fail if the foe uses a non-damaging move.
===Generation IV to VI===
If the target has not made its move this turn, but has selected a damage-dealing move, Me First copies that move preemptively and increases the [[power]] by 50%. It bypasses {{stat|accuracy}} checks to always hit, unless the opponent is in the [[semi-invulnerable turn]] of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}. Me First will fail if the target selected a non-damaging move, or if the target already executed its move this turn.


Me First will only work if the user moves before the target, and as such it is unable to copy moves with increased [[priority]] such as {{m|Fake Out}} or {{m|Sucker Punch}} (it can copy moves with +1 priority if used by a Pokémon with {{a|Prankster}}); it is also unable to copy {{m|Focus Punch}}.
If the target is about to recharge from a move like {{m|Frenzy Plant}} this turn, Me First will copy the move. If a {{cat|Consecutively executed moves|consecutively executed move}} like {{m|Outrage}} is copied, it will force the user of Me First to use the move for several turns, but the 50% increase in power only applies to the first turn.


If the foe goes second in the recharge turn of a move like {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, Me First will work and copy that move. If a move like {{m|Outrage}} is copied, it will act as usual, forcing the user of Me First to use the move for several turns. Me First is unable to copy {{m|Struggle}}, as it is not a move that can be directly chosen.
Unlike other moves, if the target of Me First is a vacant slot or a Pokémon that already fainted before the Me First user's turn, Me First will fail instead of being redirected to an adjacent non-fainted opponent.
 
In Generation V only, if a Pokémon holds a {{cat|Choice items|Choice item}} and uses Me First, it will not become locked into any move, and is free to select a different move on a later turn. In all other generations, it will become locked into Me First, rather than the move it copied (if any, and even if the Pokémon knows that move separately in one of its own move slots).
 
The [[Assault Vest]] does not prevent a Pokémon from selecting Me First, the only status move for which this is the case.
 
===Generation VII===
Now, when Pokémon holding a {{cat|Choice items|Choice item}} copy a {{cat|Consecutively executed moves|consecutively executed move}} or {{m|Bide}} with Me First, that move will fail after the first turn, because it is locked into Me First and attempting to use a different move.
 
If powered up by a [[Normalium Z]] into Z-Me First, the user's {{stat|Speed}} stat rises by two stages. Additionally, the copied move will become its corresponding [[Z-Move]].
 
===Generation VIII onwards===
Me First cannot be selected in a battle.
 
===Uncallable moves===
Me First will fail if the target chose a [[Z-Move]] or any of the following moves. {{cat|Moves that call other moves}} are considered to be the original [[status move]] (not the move it calls), so Me First will always fail if the target has selected one of those moves.

Me First targets an enemy in front, and uses a random damaging move that the enemy knows; the move will fail if the target has none. The damage of the called move is boosted by 50% in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers]] series (damage is also boosted in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|Adventure Squad]] series).

Me First (Japanese: さきどり Take in Advance) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation IV.

Effect

Generation IV to VI

If the target has not made its move this turn, but has selected a damage-dealing move, Me First copies that move preemptively and increases the power by 50%. It bypasses accuracy checks to always hit, unless the opponent is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as Dig or Fly. Me First will fail if the target selected a non-damaging move, or if the target already executed its move this turn.

If the target is about to recharge from a move like Frenzy Plant this turn, Me First will copy the move. If a consecutively executed move like Outrage is copied, it will force the user of Me First to use the move for several turns, but the 50% increase in power only applies to the first turn.

Unlike other moves, if the target of Me First is a vacant slot or a Pokémon that already fainted before the Me First user's turn, Me First will fail instead of being redirected to an adjacent non-fainted opponent.

In Generation V only, if a Pokémon holds a Choice item and uses Me First, it will not become locked into any move, and is free to select a different move on a later turn. In all other generations, it will become locked into Me First, rather than the move it copied (if any, and even if the Pokémon knows that move separately in one of its own move slots).

The Assault Vest does not prevent a Pokémon from selecting Me First, the only status move for which this is the case.

Generation VII

Now, when Pokémon holding a Choice item copy a consecutively executed move or Bide with Me First, that move will fail after the first turn, because it is locked into Me First and attempting to use a different move.

If powered up by a Normalium Z into Z-Me First, the user's Speed stat rises by two stages. Additionally, the copied move will become its corresponding Z-Move.

Generation VIII onwards

Me First cannot be selected in a battle.

Uncallable moves

Me First will fail if the target chose a Z-Move or any of the following moves. Moves that call other moves are considered to be the original status move (not the move it calls), so Me First will always fail if the target has selected one of those moves.
