The intention of this thread is to ask technical questions about moves. Such as what do they do.

For example U-Turn is a bug type move that causes physical damage and has a 70/100 rate. In addition the pokemon switches out with another in the party. It is a TM that can be purchased with coins in veilstone.

To start off I have a question about Belly Drum about all I know about it is that it "Maximizes" attack.

What does maximize mean and how is that different than swords dance? Also what pokemon can learn it?

Maximize as in doing Swords Dance until it says "Pokemons attack can not be raised any higher" at the cost of half of your HP.

About U-turn, go to Canaclave City, go to the dock on the west side, and surf downwards. There should be little plot of land with a Poke Ball on it. That is U-turn.
