In the games, the main battle screen will have four options: Fight, Bag, Pokémon, and Run. Depending on which of these is selected, a different menu will appear, or the battle may end. These same four options will appear no matter what kind of battle the player is in, be it with a wild Pokémon, an NPC, or another player via link battle. Battles are conducted in a turn-based manner. The Pokémon to take action first is determined by the [[priority]] of their action, then the {{status|Speed}} of the Pokémon. | In the games, the main battle screen will have four options: Fight, Bag, Pokémon, and Run.

Selecting "Fight" will bring up another menu which allows the player to choose which of his or her Pokémon's current [[move]]s is to be used during the turn. Depending on its remaining {{PP}}, a move may or may not be able to be selected; at least 1 PP is required to select the move. | Selecting "Fight" will bring up another menu which allows the player to choose which of his or her Pokémon's current [[move]]s is to be used during the turn.

If "Bag" is selected, it will bring up the contents of the player's Bag on screen. In Generation I, this command is instead "Item", and in Generation II, it is "Pack". In Generations {{gen|I}}, {{gen|II}}, and {{gen|III}}, the Bag menu that is brought up is the same as that in the overworld, with all of a player's items able to be selected (though many cannot be used). Since [[Generation IV]], the games instead feature a separate menu for in-battle use that categorizes the items that the player has depending on their use. If an item is selected to be used, this will take place before any Pokémon makes its move, and the player's Pokémon will not be able to make a move. The Bag selection is sometimes disabled, most notably in link battles and during [[Battle Frontier]] competitions. | If "Bag" is selected, it will bring up the contents of the player's Bag on screen.
