Headbutt (external move)

Description

Headbutt is a move skill that causes a random Pokémon battle to potentially occur when used. The Pokémon encountered is based off of the type of tree this move is used on, or which biome it is used in.

When a Pokémon is sent out, its external move is shown at the top-right corner of the screen. With default controls, an external move can be used by pressing 'G'. If a Pokémon is able to use multiple external moves, the player can cycle through them by pressing (by default) 'B'.

After using an external move, a cooldown timer will be imposed on it, graying out the move's icon, and it cannot be used again until the timer expires. The duration of this cooldown depends on the type of external move and may also depend on the Pokémon's stats. The cooldown is independent per Pokémon and continues to count down even if the Pokémon is withdrawn. Added in Gen 7 is the chance that the Pokémon that falls out of the tree may be asleep. This is dependent on the time of day and varies between Pokemon.
