Sleep Talk (Japanese: ねごと Sleep Talk) is a non-damaging Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation II.

Effect

Generation II

Sleep Talk can only be used while the user is asleep and will fail if the user is not. Sleep Talk randomly chooses one of the user's moves other than Sleep Talk itself and uses it.

Generation III and on

Same as before; however, if Rest is called by Sleep Talk it will automatically fail. Sleep Talk will not select itself or Assist, Bide, Bounce, Chatter, Copycat, Dig, Dive, Fly, Focus Punch, Me First, Metronome, Mirror Move, Shadow Force, Skull Bash, Sky Attack, SolarBeam, Razor Wind, or Uproar.
