Uproar (move)

Uproar (Japanese: さわぐ Clamor) is a damage-dealing move introduced in Generation III.

Generations III and IV
Uproar has a base power of 50 and deals damage for 2-5 turns. During this time, the user cannot use any other move. is deducted only on the turn Uproar is first called.

When Uproar is initially used successfully (i.e. when the user is not already making an uproar), it begins making an uproar that lasts until the user is no longer forced to use Uproar by its effect.

While a Pokémon is making an uproar:
 * Pokémon that do not have cannot fall  due to  (including, which fails if the user does not have Soundproof), , and disobedience, or become drowsy due to . However, a Pokémon that is already drowsy due to  can fall asleep during an uproar (even if it does not have Soundproof).
 * If a sleeping Pokémon that does not have Soundproof would make a move, it is woken up immediately before using its move.
 * At the end of each turn (including the turn the user calms down), any sleeping Pokémon on the field that do not have Soundproof are woken up.

Even if the user of Uproar has the Ability, Pokémon with Soundproof are unaffected by a Pokémon that is making an uproar.

The Pokémon will not start an uproar if Uproar fails to be executed completely, such as if it is used against a Pokémon (which would be immune to Uproar), a  Pokémon, or a Pokémon with the Ability ; however, once it is making an uproar, it will continue even if it fails in such cases.

In battles with multiple opponents, the user selects itself as the target, but hits an adjacent opponent that is selected at random upon each use of the move.

Generation V onward
Uproar's base power changed from 50 to 90. Uproar now lasts exactly 3 turns.

When Uproar is initially used (i.e. when the user is not already making an uproar), any ing Pokémon on the field are woken up (even if they have the Ability or are not adjacent to the user). This is now the only time Uproar wakes up Pokémon that are already asleep.

While a Pokémon is making an uproar, Pokémon cannot fall (even if they have  or are not adjacent to the Pokémon making the uproar). Pokémon can be made drowsy by, but a drowsy Pokémon cannot fall asleep during an uproar (even if it has Soundproof).

If Uproar fails to be executed completely—such as if it is used against a Pokémon, a  Pokémon, or a Pokémon with the Ability —the user immediately calms down and is no longer forced to use Uproar.
