'''Thousand Waves''' (Japanese: '''サウザンウェーブ''' ''Thousand Waves'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Ground}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation VI]]. It was not legitimately available until [[Generation VII]]. It is one of the [[signature move]]s of {{p|Zygarde}}.

==Effect==
Thousand Waves inflicts damage and prevents foes from [[Escape|fleeing]] or [[Recall|switching out]] as long as the user remains in battle. {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon cannot be trapped by this move.

If a Pokémon with {{a|Sheer Force}} uses Thousand Waves (via {{m|Mimic}}, or switching Abilities), it will not gain a damage bonus or have its secondary effect removed.

===Generation VIII===
====Pokémon Sword and Shield====
In Versions 1.0 to 1.2.1 of {{g|Sword and Shield}}, Thousand Waves could not be selected in a battle. Starting with Version 1.3.0, it is usable and functions the same as it did in the previous generation.

====Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl====
Thousand Waves cannot be selected in a battle.
