This article is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this article to add missing information and complete it. |
In the PMD series, moves function differently from the main games. Moves have various ranges that determine which tiles they affect. The following list is organized by range with a description of the range followed by moves that fall into that category.
Enemy in front
These moves affect only an enemy directly in front of the user. They cannot cut corners, meaning that if a foe is diagonal to the user, the move will fail if there is a wall adjacent to both the user and the foe. Most moves fall under this category.

Enemy up to 2 tiles away
Priority moves that inflict damage fall under this category. These moves can hit an enemy within 2 tiles. Also, they pass through teammates, allowing a partner to support the leader even in hallways.
Line of sight
These moves can hit anyone along the same row, column, or diagonal the user is facing. As a result, these moves have excellent range, which makes them useful as preemptive attacks. However, they usually have fewer PP to compensate for the excellent range.
Enemies within 1 tile range
These moves affect all enemies next to the user, even Ghost-types in walls. These moves do have fewer PP because they can affect multiple enemies with one use.
All enemies in the room
These moves affect all enemies in the same room as the user. If used in a hallway, these moves only affect enemies within a 2 tile range or visibility. Obviously, these moves can be very useful in clearing out a room. As a result, damaging moves in this category have even fewer PP than line of sight moves.
User
These moves only affect the user.
Only the allies in the room
These beneficial moves affect only other teammates; they do not affect the user.
All team members in the room
These beneficial moves affect only team members in the room (or in 2-tile range in a hallway). They can power up teammates or protect them. These moves also affect the user.
All enemies on the floor
The description is very straightforward. These moves affect all enemies on the floor. However, any sleeping ones will wake up.
Floor
These moves affect the whole floor. Weather and certain other moves fall under this category.
