Headbutt (Japanese: ずつき Headbutt) is a damage-dealing Normal-type move introduced in Generation I. It was TM02 in Generation II.

Effect

In battle

Headbutt does damage and has a 30% chance of causing the target to flinch.

Outside of battle

In Generation II, Headbutt was introduced as a move which can be used out of battle, allowing the player to shake small trees, sometimes causing a wild Pokémon to drop out. Depending on the time of day, the Pokémon which falls out may be asleep. Some Pokémon can only be caught by this method (e.g Pineco, Heracross) as well as being found in trees in certain areas.

After Generation III, Headbutt is no longer usable in the field.

In HeartGold and SoulSilver, as with Generation II, the ability to use Headbutt on trees in the field has returned. However, the only change is that Pokémon are not asleep when they are encountered this way, regardless of the time of day.

After the National Pokédex is acquired, non-regional Pokémon from Hoenn or Sinnoh can also be found using this method.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon

Headbutt has a 25% of making its opponent cringe.

Generation IV

In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, Pokémon are not grouped by terrain, but now appear in specific locations. Unlike Generation II, not all trees will guarantee an encounter with a wild Pokémon. However, if a tree does cause a wild Pokémon to appear, encountering a Pokémon for that tree is 100% even if Repel is being used. Likewise, if no Pokémon appears when a tree is Headbutted, no Pokémon will ever appear for that tree.

Also, the population of Pokémon differs from tree to tree, as illustrated below.

An example of the population of two trees in Pewter City
Tree 1 Pokémon Levels Hoothoot 3-5 Pineco 3-5 Wurmple 3-6	Tree 2 Pokémon Levels Hoothoot 7-9 Wurmple 5-8

For example, a tree in Pewter City may house Hoothoot, Pineco and Wurmple, while another in the same locality may house only Hoothoot and Wurmple. The level ranges may also differ for the same Pokémon. As such, not all Pokémon may be found in one tree within a specific location; the (Pewter City) table only reflects the lowest and highest possible level of all Pokémon found in the entire location.

This also explains why some Pokémon can only be found in a specific tree within that location (e.g. Starly in Pewter City or Taillow in Cherrygrove City). These trees are usually hidden, or only accessible via an HM like Surf or Rock Climb.
