On Smogon's Movedex:

Headbutt (Japanese: ずつき Headbutt) is a damage-dealing Normal-type move introduced in Generation I. It was TM02 in Generation II and is TM01 in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!.

Effect

In battle

Headbutt does damage and has a 30% chance of causing the target to flinch.

Outside of battle

Main article: Headbutt tree

Generation II

Headbutt became a move which can be used outside of battle, allowing the player to shake small trees, sometimes causing a wild Pokémon to drop out. Depending on the time of day, the Pokémon which falls out may be asleep. Some Pokémon can only be caught by this method (e.g., Pineco, Heracross).

Generation III

Headbutt is no longer a field move.

Generation IV

In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, Headbutt is not a field move.

In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, Headbutt can again be used on trees in the field. However, now it can be used on all trees, but only some will yield Pokémon; trees that can yield Pokémon will always yield Pokémon when headbutted. Also, Pokémon will not be asleep when they are encountered this way, regardless of the time of day.

Furthermore, categories of trees have been abandoned, in favor of unique wild Pokémon for each location. There are also now special trees, which in each area yield a Pokémon not normally encountered by using Headbutt in that area. After the National Pokédex is acquired, non-regional Pokémon from Hoenn or Sinnoh can also be found using this method.

Generation V

Headbutt is no longer a field move.
