What Are Moves?
Pokemon's Means of Attack & Support
Each Pokemon inherently have access to 4 moves each. These moves are used as their means of attack, heal or support, and each have a distinct use and types.
Moves Are More Powerful When Type Matches
Pokemon's moves become much more powerful when the moves' type and the user's type matches. This also works the other way around, when you use a move that counters the target Pokemon's type, the effect can prove super effective!
