Pre-Release

What We Know So Far

No moves are confirmed for Pokémon Winds and Waves yet. The two Gen 10 titles were revealed for Nintendo Switch 2 with a 2027 release window. This page adds each move as it is officially shown.

Reveal

Announced on February 27, 2026, the series' 30th anniversary, as a pair: Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves.

Platform

Built for Nintendo Switch 2, with a 2027 release window.

Region

An open world of windswept islands and a vast ocean whose waves ebb and flow.

Starters

Three starters are confirmed: Browt (Grass), Pombon (Fire), and Gecqua (Water). Their signature moves haven't been shown.

Move data

No movedex, TM list, or move stats have been revealed. That's normal this far out from a Pokémon launch.

Previous Games

How Moves Worked in Recent Games

None of this is confirmed for Winds and Waves. It is how moves worked in the games before it.

Since Diamond and Pearl, every move has carried its own physical or special category instead of the type deciding it. That has held through every mainline game since.

TMs were reusable from Black and White through Sword and Shield. Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, and then Scarlet and Violet, went back to single-use TMs. In Scarlet and Violet you craft more copies at the TM Machine from League Points and materials.

Every generation so far has added new moves alongside its new Pokémon.

At Launch

Once move data is confirmed, this page becomes the full Winds and Waves move browser: search by name, filter by type and category, sort by power and accuracy, and open any move for its full details. Until then, browse the complete Pokémon move database for every move in the series so far.
