During battles, you'll choose from four moves, switch Pokémon, use items, or attempt to flee. Each move has a type, power, accuracy, and PP (Power Points). Status conditions like Poison, Paralysis, and Sleep can significantly impact a battle. Pay attention to your Pokémon's HP (Hit Points) and PP, and use items like Potions and Ethers strategically to keep your team in top shape. Z-Moves are powerful, once-per-battle attacks.
