Field move

Field moves are moves that are generally defined as being usable both in battle and on the field. Field moves first appear in Pokémon Red Version and Pokémon Blue Version and return in all later core series titles, as well as in the Pokémon Ranger series.

Description

Field moves are always used to the player's benefit in the core series. They have a consistent role of getting rid of an obstruction, and using them in such cases is required to unlock more of the world map. Some other field moves make navigation easier for the player, such as Fly, in which the Pokémon quickly takes the player to certain previously visited location of choice.

Gust is removed from the list of Field Moves and two new types of Field Moves are added: Map Moves and Area Moves. Map moves such as Fly and Agility are used to travel and some are needed to traverse unusual terrains. Area moves such as Rain Dance are used on an entire area to fulfil a specific goal.
