A Pokémon may need to skip a turn to recharge after using certain moves.

Effect

Generation I

After successfully using any of the moves listed below, the user's next turn will be automatically skipped as a "recharge" turn.

During the recharge turn, the user will be unable to:

A poisoned Pokémon will still lose HP in the recharge turn. A confused Pokémon will not hit itself in the recharge turn.

The recharge turn does not count for the number of turns remaining from sleep, confusion, or Disable.

A recharge turn is not required if the move breaks a substitute, knocks out the target, the user is targeted by a binding move (even if it misses), the user flinches, or the user is put to sleep after the move but before the recharge turn. However, freeze does not prevent the need for the recharge turn of Hyper Beam.

In Pokémon Stadium, a recharge turn is required every time the move is used.

Generation II

In the recharge turn, automated actions from held items are still activated, such as gaining HP if the user is holding Leftovers.

The recharge turn does not count for the number of turns remaining from infatuation.

A recharge turn will always be required if the move hits, even if the target is knocked out, unless the battle is completed in that turn.

Generation III onwards

If the user has Truant, the recharge and "loafing around" take place on the same turn.

In battles involving multiple Pokémon on the same side (Double Battle, Triple Battle, as well as wild Pokémon in a Horde Encounter, etc.), each Pokémon's recharge turn does not affect the actions of its allies. However, in a Rotation Battle, the recharge turn will be skipped normally before the user can rotate Pokémon.
