Teleport (Japanese: テレポート Teleport) is a non-damaging Psychic-type move introduced in Generation I. It was TM30 in Generation I.

Effect

In battle

Teleport can be used to flee wild Pokémon battles. In Trainer battles, Teleport always fails. Teleport will also fail if the user is under the effect of a partially trapping move such as Wrap or Whirlpool, is afflicted by Mean Look or Block, or if an opponent has the Shadow Tag or Arena Trap Ability (Pokémon immune to Ground-type attacks are not prevented from teleporting by Arena Trap).

Outside of battle

Teleport warps the player to the last healing spot visited (a Pokémon Center, the player's home, etc.). Teleport can only be used outside, with the same restrictions as Fly, except it cannot be used in towns and cities.
