Direct-contact interactions
Understand the mechanical flag that triggers reactive abilities and item effects.
Contact moves in Pokemon Champions function as a mechanical flag rather than an animation description. Physical attacks are not automatically flagged, while some special-category moves trigger contact effects. Filter the complete directory of flagged attacks by type and category to evaluate matchup risks and identify which moves activate reactive abilities or held item defenses.
A precise database of moves sharing the isContactMove flag, outlining how physical interactions trigger specific battle effects.
Contact is a mechanical flag rather than a description of range or animation. It determines if an ability, item, or field effect reacts when a move touches the target. Physical attacks are not automatically contact moves, and some special attacks may still make contact. Interactions can trigger on the attacker or target. Verify individual move data and interacting effects before assuming a battle outcome.

Learner distribution and the Pokemon likely to use each move
Keep in mind
A physical move does not automatically make contact, and contact moves are not limited to physical attacks.
A single attack can carry multiple mechanic tags, so viewing alternate groupings reveals different combat interaction layers.
Pokemon Champions attacks frequently operate under multiple mechanical rules. A move might require physical contact to trigger an opponent's ability, yet also carry a separate flag governing its interaction with protective states or substitution mechanics. Exploring these related indexes allows players to isolate overlapping behaviors and verify how different combat conditions function across the broader attack database.
Examine specific flagged attacks by opening individual move profiles. Verify base power, accuracy, and type for each entry, then cross-reference the exact trigger rules to see how contact moves interact with reactive abilities and held items during battle matchups.
Review every Pokemon Champions move that triggers direct contact, sorted by battle category, power, and learner availability.
The results list every processed move with an active contact flag. Compare entries by elemental type, battle category, base power, and accuracy to evaluate specific team roles. Reviewing learner counts clarifies distribution limits. Sharing direct contact mechanics does not make these moves interchangeable, as secondary effects and damage calculations vary significantly across entries.
