Filter the isPunchMove flag roster to compare power, accuracy, and type coverage.

Punching moves in Pokemon Champions rely on a dedicated isPunchMove flag rather than naming conventions or animations. The roster catalogs every attack recognized by mechanics that enhance punch-based offense. Trainers can filter by type and category to compare power, accuracy, secondary effects, and Pokemon distribution. Classification strictly follows the stored flag, separating factual mechanics from strategy.

Punching Moves: Mechanics and Interaction Rules

Punching is a dedicated move flag used by mechanics that modify or respond to punch-based attacks. A move's name alone is not the authoritative test; the stored isPunchMove flag is. This group includes processed moves where that flag is true, operating independently of move type or battle category. Confirm interaction boundaries first, then compare power, accuracy, type, and distribution.

What to compare

Power and accuracy among punch-based coverage options

Type coverage and secondary effects

Pokemon access and any punch-specific modifier

Keep in mind

A move involving fists or arms is not automatically treated as a punching move, and punching behavior should not be confused with contact.
