Assist (move)

Assist is a non-damaging Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation III.

Effect

Assist calls up a move randomly known by one of the fellow Pokémon in it's party and fully executes the attack. An attack called up by Assist counts as the last move used. If assist successfully calls Hyper Beam or a partial trapping move and has 0 PP before the move fully executes, its PP can roll over in the same manner as the move is called. If Assist calls Counter or Mirror Coat, it will always fail. A Pokémon will be able to use a move that is disabled if called via Assist.
