Effect

Generation III

Taunt makes the afflicted Pokémon unable to use status moves. The effect lasts two turns or until the subject is switched out. Unlike most status moves, Taunt will affect a target with a substitute. On the turn that Taunt is used, if the Pokémon using Taunt goes before the target and the target selected a status move that turn, the target's move will fail. If a Pokémon that only knows status moves is taunted, or is taunted after using a status move and holding a Choice item, then it will be forced to use Struggle.

Taunt can also be used as part of a Pokémon Contest combination, causing Counter, Detect, and Mirror Coat to give extra two appeal points if used in the next turn.

Generation IV

The duration of Taunt is now between three and five turns.

Taunt can now be copied by Mirror Move.

Generation V

The duration of Taunt is now three turns if the user acts before the target, or four turns if the target acted before the user.

Taunt can now be reflected with Magic Coat and no longer affects Me First.

Generation VI onward

Pokémon with Oblivious or under the effect of Aroma Veil cannot become taunted.

Taunt can also be used as part of a Contest Spectacular combination, causing certain moves (Counter, Destiny Bond, Grudge, King's Shield, Metal Burst, Mirror Coat, and Spite) to give an extra three appeal points if used in the next turn.

Taunt will not prevent the target from using a status Z-Move, but will prevent a Dynamax target from using Max Guard.

If powered up by a Darkinium Z into Z-Taunt, the user's Attack rises one stage.

Other effects

Clobbopus that knows this move will evolve into Grapploct when leveled up.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series

In Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, Taunt is a move with 20PP and 100% accuracy. It targets enemy, inflicting Taunted status condition. A Taunted Pokémon, as in the main series games, cannot use status moves; they also cannot use Seeds or Wonder Orbs. This move is affected by the Taunted status condition, as well.

In Explorers of Time, Darkness and Sky, the move can now be reflected with Magic Coat.

While the list for most follows the main series, there are some differences, mostly due to certain attacking moves becoming status moves in these games. Moves that are marked with ✓ cannot be used while Taunted.
