Headbutt (move)

Headbutt (Japanese: ずつき Headbutt) is a damage-dealing move introduced in Generation I. It was TM02 in Generation II and is TM01 in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!.

Generation III
Headbutt is no longer a field move.

Generation IV
In, Headbutt is not a field move.

In, Headbutt can again be used on trees in the field. However, now it can be used on all trees, but only some will yield Pokémon; trees that can yield Pokémon will always yield Pokémon when headbutted. Also, Pokémon will not be asleep when they are encountered this way, regardless of the time of day.

Furthermore, categories of trees have been abandoned, in favor of unique wild Pokémon for each location. There are also now special trees, which in each area yield a Pokémon not normally encountered by using Headbutt in that area. After the National Pokédex is acquired, non-regional Pokémon from Hoenn or Sinnoh can also be found using this method.

Generation V
Headbutt is no longer a field move.
