Disable (move)

Disable (Japanese: かなしばり Temporary Binding) is a non-damaging move introduced in Generation I.
==Effect==
Disable temporarily prevents the target from using a specific move.
The affected Pokémon will use if it has no other usable moves with PP remaining besides the disabled move. For instance, it will use Struggle if it is forced to use a single move because of or choice items but that move is disabled.
The affected Pokémon can still use the disabled move as a result of , , or . An ally Pokémon's can also call the disabled move.
Disable fails if one of the target's moves is already disabled. Disable does not affect Pokémon under the protection of .
Disable's effect ends after a number of turns that varies by generation, or when the Pokémon is switched out, faints, or the battle ends.

In Generation I and II, the turns are only counted if the affected Pokémon attempts to use a move. Turns spent flinching, fast , , recharging, or bound will not count towards the Disable duration length. From Generation III onwards, all turns are counted regardless of attempting to use a move or not.
Disable's effect cannot be transferred via .
===Generation I===
The disabled move is randomly selected among the target's moves whose current PP is greater than 0. Disable fails if the target has no PP for any of its moves.
While the move is disabled, a message of "disabled!" will appear in place of the disabled move's PP, and the target will be unable to use the move until the round after Disable wears off (attempting to select the move will just result in a notice that the move is disabled).
If the target does manage to select the move (such as if it knows the move twice because of , or if the user is faster than the target and disables the attack that the target was going to use during that round) and attempts to execute it before the disable duration is over, it will only result in a wasted turn and a message that the move is disabled. Since the check to see if a move is disabled happens after the duration reduction, it is possible to disable the move the target was about to use for only 1 turn and as a result have Disable end immediately, still allowing the target to use said move during that round.
Even if unsuccessful (for any reason), using Disable against a Pokémon using will cause its rage to build.
In Pokémon Stadium, Disable will cause a Pokémon's rage to build only if successful. The disabled move's PP is not replaced with a "disabled!" message, though attempting to select the move will still result in a notice that the move is disabled.
===Generation II onwards===
Disable now disables the last move that the target used. It fails if the target has not used a move yet, or if the last move it used was .
If powered up by a Normalium Z into Z-Disable, all of the user's lowered stats are reset.
If the last move the target used was a Max Move, Disable will fail.
