In Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, Ride Pokémon serve a similar purpose to field moves from previous games.In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, if a field move is used by a walking Pokémon, this animation will not play the Pokémon will instead be shown moving and using the move in the overworld.įrom Generation VII onwards (except in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl), it is not possible to use any moves outside of battle.
Starting in Generation III, whenever a field move is used by a Pokémon, a short animation showing the Pokémon will play.
Field moves that are required to bypass certain obstacles in particular games are usually taught by HMs in those games.įrom Generations I to IV and in Generation VI, the player must have earned a particular badge before they can use each HM move as a field move.
