Encore Move Detail
Encore is a Normal-type status move with no power and 100% accuracy. When used, Encore forces the target to repeat its last used move for 3 turns. This can be strategically beneficial, especially if the opponent is locked into a non-damaging move or a move that is ineffective against the user. Encore has been a staple in competitive play for its ability to disrupt the opponent's strategy and create opportunities for the user to set up or switch to a more advantageous position.

Effect
- The next 4–8 times (selected at random) the target attempts to move, it is forced to repeat its last used move. If the selected move allows the trainer to select a target, an opponent will be selected at random each turn. If the target is prevented from using the selected move by some other effect, struggle will be used instead. This effect ends if the selected move runs out of PP. If the target hasn't used a move since entering the field, if it tried to use a move this turn and failed, if it does not know the selected move, or if the selected move has 0 PP remaining, this move will fail. If the target's last used move was encore, mimic, mirror move, sketch, struggle, or transform, this move will fail.
