If the Pokémon affected by Encore runs out of PP for the affected move, the effects of Encore end immediately. It also fails if the foe has not used a move yet. Reason: If a Pokémon with Truant is under the effect of Encore, will it be forced to repeat the move from two turns ago or will Truant cancel the effect of Encore? You can discuss this on the talk page.Įncore temporarily prevents the target from using any move except the last used move.Įncore fails if the last move the target used was Transform, Mimic, Sketch, Mirror Move, Sleep Talk, Encore itself, Struggle, or a move that has no PP left. This move effect may be in need of research. Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.
