Reason: Generation VI list

Generation II

Sleep Talk can only be used while the user is asleep and will fail if the user is not. Sleep Talk randomly chooses one of the user's moves other than Sleep Talk itself and uses it. PP will be deducted from Sleep Talk only, which means that it can be used to execute moves that have no PP left. If Rest is called, the user will regain HP normally.

Because Sleep Talk has normal move priority, a move with higher or lower priority may not be executed when it normally would. For instance, Sleep Talk may cause Quick Attack to be used after a normal priority move or Vital Throw to be used before a normal priority move.

Sleep Talk will not select itself, any move currently disabled, or any of the following moves:

Move Type
Bide  Normal  {{{3}}} {{{4}}} {{{5}}} {{{6}}}
Dig  Ground  {{{3}}} {{{4}}} {{{5}}} {{{6}}}
Fly  Flying  {{{3}}} {{{4}}} {{{5}}} {{{6}}}

Sky Attack  Flying  {{{3}}} {{{4}}} {{{5}}} {{{6}}}
SolarBeam  Grass  {{{3}}} {{{4}}} {{{5}}} {{{6}}}
Razor Wind  Normal  {{{3}}} {{{4}}} {{{5}}} {{{6}}}


Generation III

If Rest is called by Sleep Talk it will automatically fail. In Double and Triple Battles, because of the inability to select a target, the chosen move will always hit the opponent directly across from the user, if the move called normally hits only one Pokémon.

When using Sleep Talk while holding a Choice Band, the first use will work normally, but all subsequent uses will always fail, even if the user only has one move other than Sleep Talk. Sleep Talk can call a move with no PP remaining, but will fail to execute it due to a lack of PP.

If Sleep Talk or Snore is used at least once consecutively in the turns right before switching out, the Pokémon will sleep for the same amount of turns as were remaining prior to the usage of those two moves when switched back in.

Sleep Talk will not select itself, any move currently disabled, or any of the following moves:

Generation IV

When using Sleep Talk while holding a Choice item or under the effect of Encore, the first use will work normally, but all subsequent uses will always fail, even if the user only has one move other than Sleep Talk. Sleep Talk can call and successfully execute a move with no PP remaining.

Turns where Sleep Talk is used are always counted towards waking the Pokémon.

Sleep Talk will not select itself, any move currently disabled, or any of the following moves:

Trivia

  • Sleep Talk is one of two moves to lose its TM status twice. The other is Endure.
    • Coincidentally, both moves are Normal-type moves introduced in Generation II.
    • Also, both moves were added as Move Tutor moves in Pokémon Emerald before regaining their TM status in Generation IV, but Sleep Talk regained its move tutor status in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, while Endure did not.
    • It has since regained its TM status in Pokémon X and Y, however.
    • Unlike Endure, Sleep Talk managed to regain its TM status after losing it a second time. This makes Sleep Talk the only move to have regained its TM status twice, as well as the only move to have ever been three different TM numbers.
