Choosing the right moves can make or break a battle. Here's a guide to the best moves!

UNDERSTANDING MOVES
Each Pokemon can know up to 4 moves at a time. Moves have:
- Type (Fire, Water, etc.)
- Power (damage dealt)
- Accuracy (chance to hit)
- Category (Physical or Special)

PHYSICAL VS SPECIAL
- Physical moves use your Pokemon's Attack stat
- Special moves use your Pokemon's Sp. Attack stat
- Match the move category to your Pokemon's stronger stat!

STAB BONUS
Same Type Attack Bonus (STAB): When a Pokemon uses a move that matches its own type, the damage is multiplied by 1.5x!
Example: A Fire-type Pokemon using Flamethrower gets 1.5x bonus damage.

MOVE SET BUILDING TIPS
1. Always include at least one STAB move
2. Add coverage moves for types your Pokemon is weak against
3. Consider accuracy — a 70% accurate move misses 30% of the time
4. Mix physical and special moves based on your stats
5. Priority moves (like Quick Attack) are great for finishing off weakened foes
