On Smogon's Movedex: Generation III Generation IV Generation V Generation VI Generation VII Generation VIII Generation IX

Helping Hand (Japanese: てだすけ Help) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation III. It was TM03 in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, and is TM41 in Generation VIII.

Effect

Generation III

Helping Hand is an increased priority move that will increase the damage done by the user's ally this turn by 50%.

It will fail if there is no adjacent ally, or if the ally has already acted this turn.

It can still affect an ally behind a substitute or in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move like Fly or Dig.

Helping Hand targets the user.

Generation IV onward

Helping Hand now targets an adjacent ally, and will raise its move's power by 50% this turn (resulting in virtually the same effect).

Helping Hand will fail in a Single Battle.

Helping Hand now boosts confusion damage.

Generation V onward

Helping Hand now targets an adjacent ally. It no longer boosts confusion damage.

Helping Hand will fail when used by the player's Pokémon in a Horde Encounter. In a Battle Royal, Helping Hand can target any opponent, and successfully increase that opponent's move power.

If Helping Hand is used multiple times in a turn, all targeting the same Pokémon, the boosts are cumulative. The move power will increase by 125% if there are two Helping Hands, or 237.5% if there are three.

If powered up by a Normalium Z into Z-Helping Hand, all of the user's lowered stats are reset.

In other games

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series

In Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, Helping Hand is a move with 17PP that ignores accuracy and evasion checks. It targets all team members other than user that are in the same room, raising their Attack and Special Attack by one stage. In hallways, this move targets Pokémon up two tiles away (or one in one-tile darkness). This move is affected by Taunt.

In Explorers of Time, Darkness and Sky, the move's PP has been decreased to 16.

Pokémon UNITE

In Pokémon UNITE, Helping Hand is Blissey's first move. It is obtained by reaching level 6 upgrading Pound into it instead of Egg Bomb. The user greatly improves movement speed and basic attack speed for itself and allies by 35% for 3s. During this duration, all of the user's basic attacks are boosted. After this bonus expires, the user loses any boosted attack that was granted. At level 12, the move also increases basic attack damage for all those affected by 15%.

Trivia

• Ever since its introduction, Helping Hand has the highest consistent priority of all moves, meaning a Pokémon performing this move will always go first unless another Pokémon uses Pursuit on a recalled Pokémon, or a Pokémon with Prankster uses a move with +4 priority.
• In Generation III, the status screen erroneously states that the move has 100% accuracy, even though it ignores accuracy and evasion checks.
