Me First (move)

Me First (Japanese: さきどり Take in Advance) is a non-damaging move introduced in Generation IV.
==Effect==
===Generation IV to VI===
If the target has not made its move this turn, but has selected a damage-dealing move, Me First copies that move preemptively and increases the power by 50%. It bypasses checks to always hit, unless the opponent is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as or . Me First will fail if the target selected a non-damaging move, or if the target already executed its move this turn.
If the target is about to recharge from a move like this turn, Me First will copy the move. If a like is copied, it will force the user of Me First to use the move for several turns, but the 50% increase in power only applies to the first turn.
Unlike other moves, if the target of Me First is a vacant slot or a Pokémon that already fainted before the Me First user's turn, Me First will fail instead of being redirected to an adjacent non-fainted opponent.
In Generation V only, if a Pokémon holds a and uses Me First, it will not become locked into any move, and is free to select a different move on a later turn. In all other generations, it will become locked into Me First, rather than the move it copied (if any, and even if the Pokémon knows that move separately in one of its own move slots).
The Assault Vest does not prevent a Pokémon from selecting Me First, the only status move for which this is the case.
===Generation VII===
Now, when Pokémon holding a copy a or with Me First, that move will fail after the first turn, because it is locked into Me First and attempting to use a different move.
If powered up by a Normalium Z into Z-Me First, the user's stat rises by two stages. Additionally, the copied move will become its corresponding Z-Move.
===Generation VIII onwards===
Me First cannot be selected in a battle.
===Uncallable moves===
Me First will fail if the target chose a Z-Move or any of the following moves. are considered to be the original status move (not the move it calls), so Me First will always fail if the target has selected one of those moves.
