Example

From Volt Tackle's page: {{MoveInfobox| n=344 | name=Volt Tackle | jname=ボルテッカー | jtrans= | desc=A life-risking tackle that slightly hurts the user. | type=Electric | basepp=15 | maxpp=24 | power=120 | accuracy=100 | bdesc=User is hit by recoil that is equal to one-third of the damage inflicted. | category=Cool | appeal=6 | jam=0 | cdesc=User will be more easily startled afterwards. | pokefordex=volt+tackle | footnotes= | touches=yes | misses=yes | snatchable=no | magiccoat=no | useskingsrock=yes | sound=no}}

The code renders: Volt Tackle ボルテッカー ' [[File:|center]] Battles Type  Electric Category  uncategorized PP  15 (max. 24) Power  120 Accuracy  100% Priority  {{{priority}}} Makes contact Not affected by Magic Coat Not affected by Snatch Affected by King's Rock Target Foe Foe Foe Self Ally Ally Does not affect any Pokémon* Availability Introduced  [[Generation {{{gen}}}]] Not a TM, TR, HM, or Move Tutor move. Contests Condition  Cool Appeal  6 ♥♥♥♥♥♥ Jam  0   User will be more easily startled afterwards.

What this still really needs

--- 1) If move is a TM/HM, and if so what # in each version.
2) Generation of Creation (I, II, or III)
3) Perhaps: % of causing side-efffect/what side effect it has.

In addition

How about adding a box that shows what generation that move was introduced in? That's a fairly valuable piece of information for anyone planning movesets for the older generation games.

That's what I meant by Generation of Creation--guess I wasn't specific enough. ~Ev

Here's an excerpt from DarkBot:

[15:35:02] <DarkBot> [NUMBER] 289
[15:35:02] <DarkBot> [NAME] SNATCH
[15:35:02] <DarkBot> [DESCRIPTION] Steals the effects of the move the foe uses next.
[15:35:02] <DarkBot> [TYPE] DARK
[15:35:02] <DarkBot> [BASE PP] 10
[15:35:02] <DarkBot> [BASE DAMAGE] 0
[15:35:02] <DarkBot> [BASE ACCURACY] 100%
[15:35:02] <DarkBot> [TARGET] Last opponent who moved
[15:35:02] <DarkBot> [EFFECT] If the opponent is using a move to boost itself, cancels the opponent's turn and the user uses the move instead, uses a priority modifier
[15:35:02] <DarkBot> [PRIORITY] This move by default goes first (4)
[15:35:02] <DarkBot> [TOUCH] No [CAN MISS] No [CAN MAGIC COAT] No [CAN SNATCH] No [USES KING'S ROCK] No [SOUND MOVE] No

All of this information is important and should be shown somewhere, either in the infobox or elsewhere on the move pages.

Picture

Should we include a picture with each move? Just a thought. Also, the stuff like touches and misses is now covered under the MoveProperties template.

King's Rock

I don't know how to change this, but when it says whether or not to use the King's Rock, the link should be the following, not whatever it is now:

http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Items#King.E2.80.99s_Rock

→Evin290 23:51, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Better question... why in the world are there so many weird apostrophes on that page? It's the difference between ’, which I think is what some programs like word might use by default for apostrophes, and ', which is what the text editors on Bulbapedia use when you hit the apostrophe key. I mean, I think, anyway. You can't even tell 'em apart unless you look at them in the Bulbapedia's text editor thing whatever I'm typing in now. Let me see if I can do something about that. --Pie 00:08, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Okay. Are things fixed now? =D --Pie 00:13, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Cool, Smart, Tough, etc. Images

Do you think we might be able to get the little coloured box images for the Contest Categories? They're a nice little aesthetic touch, I think. ~ Megalomania 23:23, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

External MoveDex Links

I'd like to inquire as to why the Serebii.net Attackdex's are excluded from the links. Its included on the Pokémon so why not here? --Serebii 20:20, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Mystery Dungeon Data

The following should be added to the infobox to better reflect data in Mystery Dungeon:

• PP (this is typically different from the main games)
• Accuracy (this is typically different from the main games)
• Critical (base critical hit probability)
• Target Type (one of the following)
  • Enemies only
  • Player and allies only
  • Any Pokémon
  • User
  • User, then foe
  • All except user
  • All allies except user
• Range Type (one of the following)
  • Tile in front
  • 3 tiles diagonally and in front
  • 1-tile range
  • All in room
  • Up to 2 tiles ahead
  • All on floor
  • User
  • Tile in front, cuts corners
• Flags
  • affected by Magic Coat
  • affected by Snatch
  • affected by Muzzled status
  • does not damage Frozen Pokémon
  • affected by Taunted status
  • affected by Ginseng

This is needed to better improve Wide Slash and Vacuum-Cut. KelvSYC 06:30, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

So I'm thinking...

Maybe we ought to add what TM it is. (about time, too) TTEchidna 20:49, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

{{#if: {{{tm1|}}}|*[[TM{{{tm1}}}]] in [[Generation I]]}}
so i think is better. (you dont need 2 parameters for one thing)

{{#if: {{{tm1|{{{tm2|{{{tm3|{{{tm4|{{{hm1|{{{hm2|{{{hm3|{{{hm4|{{{mtdp|{{{mte|{{{mtc|}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}||*Not a [[TM]], [[HM]], or [[move tutor]] move.}}
and this should check the na parameter--Hanmac
