Moves

Updated Moves

Following are the moves that have been updated in each generation. Note that only the base statistics of the moves are updated when using this setting; additional effects are not added (for example, updating moves to Generation 8 will update Rapid Spin’s power to 50, but it will not grant the Speed increase that was added in Generation 8). Updating moves to a certain generation will also include all updates from previous generations (for example, updating a Generation 5 game’s moves to Generation 7 will also include all updates that happened in Generation 6).
