Generation II

Headbutt became a move which can be used outside of battle, allowing the player to shake small trees, sometimes causing awild Pokémon to drop out. Depending on the time of day, the Pokémon which falls out may beasleep. Some Pokémon can only be caught by this method (e.g.,Pineco,Heracross).

Generation III

Headbutt is no longer a field move.

Headbutt can be used as the second move of aPokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining 2 bonus appeal points ifFocus Energy was used in the previous turn.

Generation IV

InPokémon Diamond, Pearl, andPlatinum, Headbutt is not a field move.

InPokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, Headbutt can again be used on trees in the field. However, now it can be used on all trees, but only some will yield Pokémon; trees that can yield Pokémon will always yield Pokémon when headbutted. Also, Pokémon will not be asleep when they are encountered this way, regardless of the time of day.

Furthermore, categories of trees have been abandoned, in favor of unique wild Pokémon for each location. There are also now special trees, which in each area yield a Pokémon not normally encountered by using Headbutt in that area. After theNational Pokédex is acquired, non-regional Pokémon fromHoenn orSinnoh can also be found using this method.

Generation V onwards

Headbutt is no longer a field move.
