[[File:Cut V OW.png|thumb|Using {{m|Cut}} outside of battle]]
A '''field move''' is a [[move]] that can be used outside of {{pkmn|battle}} in the [[core series]] {{pkmn|games}}.


A '''field move''' is a [[move]] which can be used out of battle in the main [[Pokémon games]]. All [[HM|Hidden Machine]] moves have a field move effect, and some moves accessible through [[level|leveling up]], [[TM|Technical Machines]], or [[move tutor|other means]] may also help the {{player}} through the game.
==Overview==
All [[HM]] moves have a field move effect, and several other moves do as well. Field moves that are required to bypass certain obstacles in particular games are usually taught by HMs in those games.


== Field moves ==
From [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} to {{gen|IV}} and in [[Generation VI]], the {{player}} must have earned a particular [[badge]] before they can use each HM move as a field move.
=== HM moves ===
* '''{{m|Cut}}:''' The Pokémon can cut down small trees and, until [[Generation IV]], [[tall grass]] on the field. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using [[HM01]] in all [[generation]]s. In [[Generation I]], trees cut down would be regenerated if the game was saved and the power turned off, even if the player was still in the area, allowing the player to [[List of minor glitches#Standing on a tree|stand on a tree]]; however, this isn't the case in future generations.
* '''{{m|Fly}}:''' The {{player}} can fly on the Pokémon to any previously visited city or town, or certain locations such as the {{Ho|Battle Tower}} in [[Hoenn]]. Fly can be taught to a Pokémon by using [[HM02]] in all generations.
* '''{{m|Surf}}:''' The player can travel on water by traveling on the Pokémon's back. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using [[HM03]] in all generations.
* '''{{m|Strength}}:''' The Pokémon is able to push boulders of a certain type around. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using [[HM04]] in all generations.
* '''{{m|Flash}}:''' The Pokémon can light up a cavern covered by darkness such as [[Dark Cave]]. Flash can be taught to a Pokémon by using [[HM05]] in the first three generations, and by using [[TM70]] in Generations {{gen|IV}} and {{gen|V}}.
* '''{{m|Whirlpool}}:''' The Pokémon can dismiss small whirlpools on the water. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using [[HM06]] in [[Generation II]]. Since [[Generation III]] it has been a regular level-up move. In [[Generation IV]]'s {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} it has regained HM status as [[HM05]].
* '''{{m|Waterfall}}:''' The Pokémon can climb up waterfalls. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using [[HM07]] from Generation II to Generation IV, and [[HM05]] in [[Generation V]]. It was also available in [[Generation I]] as a level-up move, but it didn't have the field move status.
* '''{{m|Rock Smash}}:''' The Pokémon can smash boulders of a certain type into pieces. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using [[TM08]] in Generation II, by using [[HM06]] in Generations III and IV, and by using [[TM94]].
* '''{{m|Dive}}:''' The player can dive underwater when surfing in deep waters. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using [[HM08]] in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. Since [[Generation IV]] it has been a regular level-up move. In [[Generation V]], it has regained HM status as [[HM06]].
* '''{{m|Defog}}:''' The Pokémon can clear out fog on the field. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using [[HM05]] in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.
* '''{{m|Rock Climb}}:''' The Pokémon can climb up rocky walls. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using [[HM08]] in Generation IV.


=== TM moves ===
Starting in [[Generation III]], whenever a field move is used by a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, a short animation showing the Pokémon will play. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, if a field move is used by a [[walking Pokémon]], this animation will not play; the Pokémon will instead be shown moving and using the move in the overworld.
* '''{{m|Dig}}:''' The Pokémon can dig the player out of a cavern to the place where the player entered it, similar to an [[Escape Rope]]. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using [[TM28]] in all generations. Several Pokémon can also learn the move by leveling up.
* '''{{m|Teleport}}:''' The Pokémon can teleport the player to the front of the last visited Pokémon Center by using telekinesis. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using [[TM30]] in Generation I, and it can be learned by many {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.
* '''{{m|Softboiled}}:''' The Pokémon cuts some of its [[Stats#Hit Points|HP]] to recover another Pokémon's HP. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using [[TM41]] in Generation I, and it can be learned via level-up by {{p|Chansey}} and {{p|Blissey}} as well as certain Pokémon via a [[move tutor]] in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
* '''{{m|Headbutt}}:''' The Pokémon can shake a small tree which may cause a [[wild Pokémon]] to fall down. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using [[TM02]] in Generation II. Though available as a level up move in Generation I and future generations, it only had status as a field move in Generation II and has regained such status in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} where it is available via a [[move tutor]] in [[Ilex Forest]]. It once again lost it's field move status in Geneation V.
* '''{{m|Rock Smash}}:''' Can be taught to a Pokémon by using [[TM08]] in Generation II, [[HM06]] in Generations III and IV, and [[TM94]] in Generation V. Clears cracked rocks; in Generation III Pokémon can occasionally be found in them.
[[Image:Flash_demo.gif|right|thumb|250px|'''Flash''' remains a field move in [[Generation IV]], despite no longer being an HM.]]
* '''{{m|Sweet Scent}}:''' The Pokémon can activate a wild Pokémon battle in tall grass, caves, and water. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using [[TM12]] in Generation II, and it can be learned by many {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.
* '''{{m|Secret Power}}:''' The Pokémon can clear an entrance into a big tree, a bush or an indent in a wall in order to create a [[Secret Base]]. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using [[TM43]] in Generations III and IV, but is no longer a field move in the latter.
* '''{{m|Flash}}:''' Can be taught to a Pokémon by using [[HM05]] in Generations I, II, and III, and is currently a [[TM70|TM move]]. It lights up dark caves. Prior to Generation III, the whole screen was dark. In later Generations, a small circle around the player can be seen, which expands when Flash is used.


=== Other moves ===
From [[Generation VII]] onwards (except in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}), it is not possible to use any moves outside of battle.
* '''{{m|Milk Drink}}:''' Similar to Softboiled, the Pokémon cuts some of its [[Stats#Hit Points|HP]] to recover another Pokémon's HP. It can only be learned by {{p|Miltank}} by leveling up.
* In {{game4|SMUSUM}}, [[Poké Ride|Ride Pokémon]] serve a similar purpose to field moves from previous games.
* '''{{m|Chatter}}:''' It can be used to record and temporarily alter the battle cry of a {{p|Chatot}}. It does not function correctly with other Pokémon. The recorded audio is reset to Chatot's default cry when it is deposited into a box.
* In {{LGPE}}, [[Secret Technique]]s are equivalent to the HM field moves from the Generation I games.
* In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, there is no direct equivalent to field moves, with the [[Flying Taxi]] replacing {{m|Fly}} and the [[Rotom Bike]] Water Mode replacing {{m|Surf}}.
* In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, the eight HM field moves can be used with the help of a new [[Pokétch]] app that calls on [[wild Pokémon]] for assistance, eliminating the need to teach them to the player's own Pokémon. Field moves make a return in these remakes, with moves such as {{m|Teleport}} being able to be used outside of battle once more.  
* In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, any Pokémon can be sent out to do various things like destroy rocks and shake trees, and there are summonable {{OBP|Ride Pokémon|Hisui}} that can be ridden. The player can also select and instantly travel to previously visited locations using the [[Arc Phone]], similar to the functionality of Fly.
* In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, {{ga|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{ga|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} can be ridden and is able to glide, surf, and climb. The Flying Taxi also returns.

If you were looking for the special moves usable in the Pokémon Ranger series, see Field Move (Ranger).
Using Cut outside of battle

A field move is a move that can be used outside of battle in the core series games.

Overview

All HM moves have a field move effect, and several other moves do as well. Field moves that are required to bypass certain obstacles in particular games are usually taught by HMs in those games.

From Generations I to IV and in Generation VI, the player must have earned a particular badge before they can use each HM move as a field move.

Starting in Generation III, whenever a field move is used by a Pokémon, a short animation showing the Pokémon will play. In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, if a field move is used by a walking Pokémon, this animation will not play; the Pokémon will instead be shown moving and using the move in the overworld.

From Generation VII onwards (except in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl), it is not possible to use any moves outside of battle.
