DEFINITION

A mons' powerful charged attack. Costs energy in PvP, fills a bar in raids. Can be shielded twice per PvP battle.

ALSO KNOWN AScharged movecm
01 · FULL EXPLANATION

Charge moves are the big-hitting moves with cinematic animations. In raids they fire when the bar fills (typically 1, 2, or 3 bars per move). In PvP they cost 35-100 energy charged via fast moves.

PvP shields block one charge move outright. Each player only has two shields per battle, so 'shield baiting' (using a cheap charge move to force a shield, then unleashing the real damage) is core strategy.

Charged TMs reroll the charge move randomly from the species' pool. Elite Charged TMs let you pick — vital for unlocking Community Day legacy moves.
