Does the Showdown! National Dex format allow deprecated moves?

Feb. 10, 2021

Are moves like Hidden Power and Pursuit available in this format? Or is it just the new gen eight stuff with mega evolution, z moves and every Pokemon?

All “dexited” moves are returning as well. This means that you can use Pursuit again! All “dexited” moves have Max Powers based on a table posted later on in this thread. For example, Pursuit turns into a 90-Base Power Max Darkness.

Yep, you can use Pursuit, Hidden Power and all other removed moves along with Megas, z-moves and removed Pokemon as well. The source also lists all the way the mechanics work, so you should probably read it once if you ever a play a Nat Dex format (Nat Dex OU, UU, Monotype or AG).

Hope this helps!
