==Effect==
===In battle===
====Generation I====
In battles, the user flees and the battle ends. In battles, Teleport always fails.
If the user's level is less than the opponent's level, there is a chance that Teleport will fail, between approximately 10% and 25%, depending on the levels of the two Pokémon. The chance of failure typically increases the higher the target's level is than the user's. Specifically, the chance of failure is the following.
FailureChance = \frac{\left\lfloor {Level_{opponent} \over 4}\right\rfloor}{Level_{opponent} + Level_{user} + 1}
====Generation II====
If Teleport is used by the player's Pokémon, it can still fail because of the opponent's level, but this no longer applies to wild Pokémon using Teleport due to a bug.
Teleport will fail if the user is trapped by a (except ), or if used by an opposing NPC.
In this generation only, Teleport fails in battles with Pokémon encountered as traps in the Team Rocket's Hideout, the GS Ball , the Tin Tower (in Crystal), and the scripted Red Gyarados.
====Generations III and IV====
Teleport fails if used in a wild battle that is not a Single Battle. Teleport can no longer fail due to the user's level being less than the opponent's level.
Teleport will now fail if the user is trapped by any (including and ) or . If the user is holding a Smoke Ball, Teleport will succeed regardless of trapping moves and Abilities.

====Generation V====
Teleport will succeed regardless of . If the user is owned by a Trainer and holding a Smoke Ball, Teleport will succeed regardless of trapping moves and Abilities; if the user is a wild Pokémon, Teleport will fail if the user is affected by a trapping move or Ability, even if it is holding a Smoke Ball.
====Generation VI====
If the user is holding a Smoke Ball, Teleport will succeed regardless of trapping moves and Abilities.
====Generation VII====
Teleport always fails in battles during trials. SOS Battles are considered Single Battles as long as there is only a single opponent.
If powered up by a Psychium Z into Z-Teleport, the user regains all of its HP.
In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, Teleport switches the user out. It has -6 priority. Teleport fails if the user is the only Pokémon in the party that is able to battle.
====Generation VIII onwards====
Teleport retains its effect from Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, and it succeeds regardless of whether the user is trapped. It only ends a battle if used by a wild Pokémon.
=====Pokémon Legends: Arceus=====
Teleport cannot be mastered.
===Outside of battle===
From Generations to , as well as in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, using Teleport outside of battle warps the to the last Pokémon Center visited. Starting in Generation IV, the player's house is treated as a Pokémon Center for this purpose.
In Generation I, the player must heal their Pokémon at the counter for it to count as a visit. In subsequent generations, the player only needs to enter the location.
In , as well as in :
* When the Mystery Egg is received from Mr. Pokémon, the last Pokémon Center used is set to Cherrygrove City. This prevents the player from skipping the first against by blacking out or using Teleport and going directly to the player's home (although Teleport is not yet legitimately available at this point in the game).
* When the player leaves the S.S. Aqua and enters Vermilion City or Olivine City, the last Pokémon Center used is set to that city.
Teleport can only be used outside, with the same restrictions as . In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, unlike Fly, Teleport can teleport the player between regions.
