The mechanic was introduced in [[Generation III]] along with [[Double Battle]]s.

==Mechanics==
In a Single Battle, most moves, such as {{m|Tackle}} and {{m|Growl}}, affect the opponent. Several moves, primarily [[status move]]s like {{m|Defense Curl}}, affect the user. A few moves affect all Pokémon in battle, including {{m|Haze}} and {{m|Perish Song}}. Some moves do not affect the Pokémon on the field directly, but instead affect the field itself, meaning that the effects of the move will still continue even if the user is [[Recall|switched out]] of battle. These moves can affect the entire field (e.g. {{m|Rain Dance}}), the opponent's side of the field (e.g. {{m|Stealth Rock}}), or the user's side of the field (e.g. {{m|Light Screen}}). A few moves like {{m|Curse}} have ranges that vary due to their particular effect.

In a [[Double Battle]] and other battle formats featuring additional Pokémon, there can be one or more allies and/or one or more opponents. As such, the player will be asked to select which Pokémon to target after selecting a move. Most moves can target either a single opponent or ally, and the player can choose which of them to target. Some moves do not target a single Pokémon, but instead affect multiple Pokémon at the same time. These moves can target opponents and allies (e.g. {{m|Earthquake}}) or opponents only (e.g. {{m|Swift}}). A few moves such as {{m|Thrash}} do not allow the player to choose which opponent to target, and will instead target a random opponent if multiple opponents are present. A few moves like {{m|Helping Hand}} target an ally, and will fail if used in a Single Battle or when no ally is present.

In a [[Triple Battle]], most moves can only hit Pokémon that are adjacent to the user. All five of the other Pokémon are adjacent if the user is in the middle position, and only the three surrounding Pokémon are adjacent if the user is in the left or right position. [[#Long-range moves|Long-range moves]] can affect faraway Pokémon on the opposite side of the field, even if they are not adjacent to the user.

In other battle formats:
* In a [[Horde Encounter]], the other five Pokémon are treated as adjacent opponents to the player's Pokémon. Moves that target a single ally will fail, even if used by one of the five opponents.
* In a [[Battle Royal]], moves that target multiple opponents or the opponent's side of the field will target all three opponents, but the damage of these moves is reduced by 50%. Moves that target the user's side of the field will only affect the user's Pokémon, and moves that target an ally instead target a selected opponent.
* In [[Support Play]], moves that target a single ally or opponent cannot be used against the other ally Pokémon. Moves that target allies and multiple opponents will still affect the other ally Pokémon, however.
* In a [[Max Raid Battle]] or [[Tera Raid Battle]], the other Trainers' Pokémon are treated as adjacent allies and the [[Dynamax]]/{{Tera}}stallized Pokémon is treated as the opponent.

===Long-range moves===
A '''long-range''' move (Japanese: '''{{ruby|遠隔|えんかく}}''' ''long-range'') is a move that can hit any Pokémon on the battlefield, including the opponent or ally on the opposite side of the field in a [[Triple Battle]]. Internally, this is determined by a separate bit flag in the move data structure. In addition to moves that affect the field and moves that target all Pokémon in battle, all single-target damage-dealing {{type|Flying}} moves, {{m|Flying Press}}, and all single-target {{cat|aura and pulse moves}} are considered long-range moves as of [[Generation VI]].

==List of ranges==
In the charts below, a {{background|FF4500|light red}} cell indicates that the move can target any one of the highlighted cells, while a {{background|ED1C24|dark red}} cell indicates that the move targets all of the highlighted cells.

==List of moves by range==
===Generation V onwards===
In the internal data of the [[Generation V]] games onwards, moves can have one of 14 ranges depending on a byte value in the move data structure. In [[Pokédex 3D]], [[Pokédex 3D Pro]], and the official guidebooks for these games, these are combined into a total of 12 categories. In the official guidebook for {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}} published by [[The Pokémon Company International]], the "Adjacent" category is split into "All Others" and "All", for a total of 13 categories. In the official guidebook for {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet}} [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] published by OVERLAP, a parenthetical note distinguishes moves that affect all allies and those that affect all allies except the user.

The [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]] by [[Nintendo Power]] instead divides moves into six categories:
* 1: Move is effective on one foe or partner.
* 2: Move is effective against both foes at once.
* 3: Move is effective on both foes and partner at once.
* 4: Move is effective on all Pokémon at once.
* S: Move is effective on only the Pokémon that executes the move.
* R: Move affects random Pokémon chosen from both foes and partner.

===Generation III===
In the internal data of the [[Generation III]] games, moves can have one of eight ranges depending on a byte value in the {{gdis|move data structure|III}}. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] games, value 0x02 would allow for moves that can target either the user, an ally, or an opponent, but the value is not used by any move; in {{Pokémon XD}}, it is instead used for {{m|Shadow Half}}, which targets all Pokémon in battle. In the [[Media Factory]] guidebooks for these games, these are further divided into a total of 10{{sup/3|RS}}{{sup/ss|Colo}} or 11{{sup/3|FRLG}}{{sup/3|E}}{{sup/ss|XD}} categories. In the Shogakukan guidebooks for these games, the "Depends" category is further split into "Self" and "Not fixed", for a total of 11 categories. In the Enterbrain guidebooks for these games, moves are further distinguished by whether they affect the field or whether they have [[recoil]], for a total of 15 categories.

[[Pokémon Emerald: Prima's Official Strategy Guide]] and [[Pokémon 10th Anniversary Collector's Edition Complete Pokédex]] by [[Prima Games]] instead divide moves into 11 different categories:
* 1E: 1 Enemy
* 2E: 2 Enemies
* RE: Random Enemy
* 1A/2E: 1 Ally and 2 Enemies (i.e., everyone but the caster)
* S/E: Self and Enemy
* Self
* All
* Allies
* All Allies
* AE
* —

===Generations I and II===
In the internal data of and in the official guidebooks for the [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}} games, moves do not have ranges as a distinct property. Instead, whether it affects the user, the opponent, or both is considered part of the move's effect.

==Trivia==
* Although {{m|Struggle}} was classified as "Normal" in the move data structure and official guidebooks until [[Pokémon X and Y]], [[Pokédex 3D]] and [[Pokédex 3D Pro]] categorize it under "1 Random".
* {{m|Bleakwind Storm}} is marked as a long-range move in the move data structure of [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], but is not marked as one in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]. As [[Triple Battle]]s do not appear in these games, this has no actual effect, however.
