Swords Dance (Japanese: つるぎのまい Swords Dance) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation I. It was TM03 in Generation I and is TM75 in Generation IV onwards.

Swords Dance can also be used as part of a Pokémon Contest combination, with certain moves (Crabhammer, Crush Claw, Cut, False Swipe, Fury Cutter and Slash) having their base appeal points doubled if they are used in the next turn.
