Along with some new Hisuian form Pokemon, Pokemon Legends Arceus introduces some brand new moves for Pokemon to play around with.

At the time of this writing, there are a total of 192 moves available for Pokemon to use in Pokemon Legends Arceus, including moves that are newly introduced. Notably, this is a dramatic decrease from the amount of moves usable in previous games, which number at around 813 in total excluding G-Max moves, Z-Moves and Let’s GO exclusive moves. Presumably, this is because of the changes in the battle system, as well as the smaller number of usable Pokemon in the game.

You can find a full list of all the old moves below, followed by a list of new moves and their effects:
