Helping Hand (Japanese: てだすけ Help) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation III.
It is:
- TM03 in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!.
- TM41 in Pokémon Sword and Shield.
- TM130 in Generation IX.
Effect
Generation III
Helping Hand is an increased priority move that will increase the damage done by the user's ally this turn by 50%.
It will fail if there is no adjacent ally, or if the ally has already acted this turn.
It can still affect an ally behind a substitute or in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move like Fly or Dig.
Helping Hand targets the user.
Generation IV
Helping Hand now targets an adjacent ally, and will raise its move's power by 50% this turn (resulting in virtually the same effect).
Helping Hand will fail in a Single Battle.
Helping Hand now boosts confusion damage.
Generation V onwards
Helping Hand now targets an adjacent ally. It no longer boosts confusion damage.
Helping Hand will fail when used by the player's Pokémon in a Horde Encounter. In a Battle Royal, Helping Hand can target any opponent, and successfully increase that opponent's move power.
If Helping Hand is used multiple times in a turn, all targeting the same Pokémon, the boosts are cumulative. The move power will increase by 125% if there are two Helping Hands, or 237.5% if there are three.
If powered up by a Normalium Z into Z-Helping Hand, all of the user's lowered stats are reset.
