Rage (Japanese: いかり Rage) is a damage-dealing Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation I. In the generation of its introduction, it is TM20.

Effect

Generation I

Rage deals damage and it will not be possible for the user to do anything other than let the user continue to use Rage, and it will not stop using Rage until it faints or the battle ends. Every time the user is damaged by an attack or is targeted by Disable (only if Disable misses or fails), its Attack stat will increase by one stage. Rage will use 1 PP when selected, but not use any PP on any subsequent turns.

If Rage misses during the turn it is selected, its secondary effects will not activate. If Rage misses due to an accuracy or evasion check when its decision-removing effect is active, the accuracy of Rage will subsequently become 0.4%. The duration of Rage will be paused but not disrupted by anything, including Sleep, Freeze, partial trapping, flinching, or if the user hurts itself due to Confusion.

Rage will not attempt to increase the user's Attack if it has reached a stage of +6, and will not successfully increase the user's Attack if it has reached a value of 999.

In Stadium, Disable will cause a Pokémon's rage to build if it is successful.

Generation II and on

Rage is no longer a continuous move and will not last until the end of the battle. Instead, Rage must be selected every turn.

Trivia

• Voltorb and Electrode are the only Generation I Pokémon that can learn TMs but cannot learn Rage.
• There are no Generation IV Pokémon that can learn Rage by any means.
• In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, there is a glitch which will occur after a Pokémon capable of using the move Transform uses the move Rage. This glitch allows for Ditto to learn moves other than Transform and to subsequently pass down any egg moves.
