Field Move (Ranger)

This article is about the Field Moves in Pokémon Ranger games. For the moves usable out of the battle in the main games, see Field move (main series).

Field Moves are special moves Pokémon can use outside of battles in Pokémon Ranger and Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia.

They were first introduced in Pokémon Ranger and are primarily used to remove an obstacle of some sort. They are similar to Hidden Machine moves from the traditional games, and two of them share names with the traditional HMs.

Aside from "Flash" and "Cross", all Field Moves come in 3 different levels of power, such as "Tackle ×1", "Tackle ×2", and "Tackle ×3".

Move		Function
	Burn	Set objects on fire
	Cross	Cross a gap
	Crush	Destroy an object with physical force
	Cut	Slice objects

Artwork of some Field Moves

In Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia, Field Moves have changed. Some Field Move levels have gone up to ×5, but most have stayed the way Pokémon Ranger had them- only going up to ×3. Unlike in the original Pokémon Ranger, the only Pokémon that don't have a Field Move are the ones that either can't be kept or the ones that are partners. Also Gust using Pokémon have either changed to Cut or in one exception, Demist. Cross has been split from one Field Move used only to swing on posts to a variety of different traveling moves that involve riding on Pokémon over a variety of different terrains. Also, many new Field Moves have been created, some of which are unique, used only by certain Pokémon in certain places. These are called Map Moves and Area Moves. Both are types of Field Moves that are not used for Target Clear. The latter, such as Magma Flow, is only used when there is a question mark that appears above the player's head.
