Sleep Talk (Japanese: ねごと Sleep Talk) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation II. It was TM35 in Generation II and was TM82 in Generation IV.
Effect
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.
Sleep Talk will not select itself, any move currently disabled, or any of the following moves:
Generation III
Same as before; however, 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.
Sleep Talk will not select itself, any move currently disabled, or any of the following moves:
Generation IV
Same as before, but the list of moves that cannot be selected has increased.
When using Sleep Talk while holding a choice item, 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.
Sleep Talk will not select itself, any move currently disabled, or any of the following moves:
Generation V
Same as before, but the list of moves that cannot be selected has increased.
Sleep Talk now works multiple times if used while holding a choice item. Sleep Talk can call and successfully execute a move that is disabled or has no PP remaining.
Sleep Talk will not select itself or any of the following moves:
