The Move List, Rebuilt Kanto's attacks have been torn down and rebuilt from scratch — 225 moves, with every attacking type given a clean, predictable ladder of options. No more scraping by on off-type filler: whatever you're raising, it can hit hard, in its own type, at every stage of the game.

01 What changed, and why you'll feel it

In vanilla Yellow, half your team ended up spamming Normal-type Body Slam because their own type had nothing worth learning. That problem is gone.

The move list was redesigned as a grid: every one of the 20 attacking types now has exactly one move in each of eight slots — a weak, moderate, strong, and strongest option, in both a physical and a special flavor. That's a guaranteed 160-move backbone, so no matter what you're training, there's always sensible same-type damage available for its attacking stat, tuned to its level.

02 How the power ladder works

Each attacking type's four damage steps follow the same rules, so once you learn one type's ladder you know them all.

The split between Physical and Special lines matters: pick the ladder that runs off your Pokémon's better attacking stat. A Machop wants the physical column; an Alakazam wants the special one. Every type gives you both.

03 The complete arsenal

Every attacking move in the game, by type and power. Find your Pokémon's type, then read across to see exactly what it can hit for at each stage.

Physical Contact & muscle — runs off Attack

Special Beams & blasts — runs off Special Attack

Tables scroll sideways on narrow screens. A handful of moves carry small extras: Fissure is now just a 120-power Ground special (not a one-hit-KO), the elemental punches and Ice Beam keep a 10% status chance, and recoil moves like Double-Edge, Flare Blitz, and Wild Charge trade a little of your own HP for their power.

04 The moves that break the pattern

A few favorites sit outside the ladder because their quirks are the whole point — they were kept exactly for that.

• Quick Attack, Aqua Jet & Ice Shard — priority strikes that go before the opponent (fastest wins if both sides use one), perfect for finishing off a weakened foe.
• Explosion — go out with a bang: enormous damage, but the user faints.
• Counter — throws a physical hit back at double strength. It now answers any physical move, not just Normal/Fighting.
• Seismic Toss & Night Shade — deal damage equal to the user's level, ignoring stats and type matchups. Steady, unresisted chip.
• Swift — never misses, ever, no matter how much the target boosts evasion.
• Pay Day — throws coins for extra money after the battle.
• Slash, Razor Leaf, Karate Chop, Crabhammer, Stone Edge, Night Slash — the high-crit club: these land critical hits far more often than normal.
