Move variations

The subject of this article has no official name.
The name currently in use is a fan designator; see below for more information.

Move variations are moves that are identical to one another in terms of power/damage and accuracy, are similar in PP (no more than 5 apart), but may have different types, damage categories, or secondary effects. Below are the various move archetypes and the moves that fall into their categories.

Move archetypes are listed in alphabetical order. Within each archetype table, moves are listed in order of their index number.

All details are accurate to the most recent game in which the move is present. For details that have changed between generations, please refer to the move's page.
