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

Contents

Effect

Me First copies any damage-dealing move that the target is about to use and increases the power by 50%, if the foe has not made the first move.

Despite some confusion from the in-game description, Me First will only work if the user is faster than the foe or moves first due to an effect from a Custap Berry or a Quick Claw. If the foe is faster than the user, Me First will fail to copy the attack and if the foe uses a non-damaging move, Me First will also fail.

If the foe goes second in the recharge turn of a move like Frenzy Plant, Me First will work and copy that move.
