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

Generation I

In wild battles, the user flees and the battle ends. If the user's level is less than the opponent's level, there is a chance that Teleport will fail. More specifically, the chance of failing is FLOOR(O / 4) / (O + U + 1), where O is the opponent's level and U is the user's level. This means that the chance of failure is always between approximately 12.5% and 25%, with a higher chance when the opponent's level is much greater than the user's.

In Trainer battles, Teleport always fails.

Generation II

A wild Pokémon's Teleport will always succeed; however, Teleport used by a Pokémon the player owns may still fail in a wild battle if its level is lower than the wild Pokémon's level.

Teleport will fail if the user is trapped by a trapping move (except binding moves).

Specific to this generation, Teleport fails in battles with Pokémon encountered as traps in the Team Rocket Hideout, the GS Ball Celebi, the Tin Tower Suicune (in Crystal), and the scripted Red Gyarados.

Generation III to IV

Reason: Does the Smoke Ball allow the holder to escape from Poké Spot battles using Teleport in XD?
You can discuss this on the talk page.

Teleport fails if used in a wild battle that is not a Single Battle. Teleport can no longer fail due to the user's level being less than the opponent's level.

Teleport will now fail if the user is trapped by a trapping move (including Ingrain and binding moves) or Ability. If the user is holding a Smoke Ball, Teleport will succeed regardless of trapping moves and Abilities.

Teleport can be used as part of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining an extra appeal point if any of the moves Confusion, Double Team, Kinesis or Psychic was used in the prior turn.

Generation V

Teleport will succeed regardless of Ingrain. If the user is owned by a Trainer and holding a Smoke Ball, Teleport will succeed regardless of trapping moves and Abilities; if the user is a wild Pokémon, Teleport will fail if the user is affected by a trapping move or Ability, even if it is holding a Smoke Ball.

Generation VI onward

Teleport always fails in battles during trials. SOS Battles are considered Single Battles as long as there is only a single opponent.

If the user is holding a Smoke Ball, Teleport will succeed regardless of trapping moves and Abilities.

If powered up by a Psychium Z into Z-Teleport, the user regains all of its HP.

Outside of battle

Reason: Which locations are considered, how a location becomes the location Teleport takes the player to
You can discuss this on the talk page.

Prior to Generation VII, 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. Additionally, from Generation IV onward, Teleport cannot be used in towns and cities.
