===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
Beat Up is a status move which warps all teammates on the floor to the user. In games prior to Super Mystery Dungeon, teammates are placed up to 2 tiles away from the user. Beat Up only works on teammates and will not affect clients visiting the player's team. The move will fail to warp a Pokémon if there is not enough space within the given area; the move considers only land tiles (even if the Pokémon can travel through non-standard tiles). 
From Super Mystery Dungeon, the move targets an enemy in front, and will warp all teammates on the floor to surround the target.
===Pokémon Rumble Blast===
The user damages all Pokémon directly in front of it. Beat Up will hit once for each team member, including the user.
